Favourite Smith

Postby Alviro Patterson » Tue Dec 30, 2014 1:56 am

By popular demand ;)

A common surname in the world, unsurprisingly sporting a few cricketers of top class ability as well as making a name in other professions.

So in true CMS fashion, who is your favourite Smith?

Out of those, probably the rather bland Yorkshire beer.

Rather bland is far too complimentary AC.

It was one of those proto cream-flow beers wasn't it. Beer was already great. Why meddle with it.

There's John Smiths cask beer, an exceedingly ordinary real ale, and John Smiths extra smooth, which demands that you save your units of alcohol up for something else.

For those of you who ever make it out to my neck of the woods and avoid arriving on a convict transport, you'll most likely fly into Charles Kingsford Smith Airport in Sydney... then probably get trampled to death by a kangaroo, or chopped by a shark at the beach, swallowed by a croc, or eaten by a dingo, or incinerated by our skin cancer causing sun. So come on down... I'll whack a shrimp on the barbie for you!
