Things that you rate!

The partner getting me a signed bar mat from Mark Taylor, Michael Slater and Ian Healy who ate at the Sevenhill Hotel!!

Can you see the distain in Healy's signature?

Why the Healy hate? He is actually a nice bloke if you've ever met him.

[MW]

One and only interaction with Ian Healy was observing him walking to the hotel with his commentator colleagues. Every single one happily signed autographs and posed for photos, but Healy. He even told a couple of punters to "f..k off" after they asked for a photo.

Hmmm ok perhaps he had a bad day..... the time I met him, sat on his table at a function during an Adelaide test match in which he was playing he was a good bloke. Even going out of his way at the end of the evening to say goodbye to me and Mrs C.

Yeah probably right, I'm going on a first impression.

The partner served them from start to finish and what she mentioned all three were extremely polite and more than happy to give out signatures

[Lightning McQueen]

I'm with you.

I would but I am on the treadly today. Hence my smashing the first one when I walk in the door. Reckon I would look like a fair pelican (as if I don't already) in the drive through on my mountain bike.

Apparently its illegal to drive with one open over here. I've not let that stop me though!

I think it might be here too, I'm not sure if you can have one open in the vehicle at all.

On January 1 we were driving back from Mildura, we stopped at Waikerie for a feed and then the missus and I shared a beer, we got to Truro and I got her to open another where I took a swig as we were leaving the town, got around a bend and there was a breatho, I totally shat myself reaching for a bag of chips as I guzzled down some water that I wore most of, every car in front of me was pulled in except for me.

Not that I would've been done but the mouth alcohol probably would've registered something and I would've had to wait another twenty on an already arduous journey.

No it's not illegal in SA to have an open alcohol container while driving (don't quote me)

Many years ago I had a similar thing happen. Just popped into a bottle shop in Mount Barker, was on my way to the golf club for a meeting, and popped a tin as I left the bottle-o car park. Sure enough nreatho around the corner. Shat myself. But I had literally no where to go. Blew in the bag having just taken a sip. Damn near blew the bag up! Told the copper I had just had a sip. Made me wait 20 minutes - blew again. All clear, on you way sir! Phew!

spot on. you can even be drinking it while driving, as long as you are under 0.05 of course. other states get a bit narky about any open alcohol in the car, but here in SA were more sensible about things

there was a front page article in the tiser a few years ago about how "crazy" it was that you could drink alcohol while driving here, tried to suggest it was against the road safety messaging at the time (imo its no different than drinking soft drink, or water, or anything else while driving, as long as you are under the limit). a bill was introduced into parliament to have that changed, but was never passed (trust me, ive read the relevant legislation. ive won this argument before

He happily signed my book The Glovemen by Jack Pollard after a days 'keeping during the South African test of 1994.

Correct, it is not illegal to drive with an open alcohol container in South Australia, provided you are under the legal limit.

A Bill was introduced to parliament in 2012 to change this, it was never passed.

You are right it seems after what I just read, pretty much what Corona Man quoted.

Inspired by @pseudo's recent experience, blowing into the bag can mean different things in different situations....
