Majority of people who saved someone from drowning are men, too. Men are overrepresented in most statistics.

Is XXXX still big in Queensland?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Great Northern. It's basically XXXX but about 20 times worse, tastes terrible, and sells like crazy. I don't understand.

My mate drinks it. It's the cheap white bread of beer. Nothing more or less.
