QANTAS serve the Green Death free on their CityFlyer services after 4:30pm, along with Duck Beer and XXX.

You'd think that they would just stop buying it if they can't sell it...

I'll drink it, but...

Boag's Draught seems to sell at a decent price and is not terrible if you find yourself having to serve beer to the Great Unwashed.

The VB label has put me off getting the Original but I might give it a try...

Also as an additional point on regular VB, it not only tastes terrible but I don't reckon I've had a night on it and not chucked. Something in it besides beer.

I was in Sydney for work the other week. After boarding the plane at 7.15pm, 45 mins after we were due to depart, we finally took off after an hour and a quarter of sitting on the tarmac, at 8.30pm, half an hour after I should have arrived in Melbourne.

(As a bloke I shared a cab to the airport with said: "There are two times ... Greenwich Mean Time and Qantas Time."

Just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse, they came around with drinks. The selection of beer was VB or VB.

Just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse, I opened the can of VB and had a sip. Warm.

Not happy, Jan.

Warm VB is surely one of the vilest tastes on this planet.

Y'know if they gave warm VB to POW's they'd finish up in the Hague facing war crimes charges. Yet QANTAS get away with giving it to fare paying passengers??

Cheers,
Greg
