Hab-a-looc, that's coolabah backwards!
My cask wine days are over but far from forgotten. I vividly recall many a goon hoon up to the Sunnybank for movie marathons with nothing more than my cardboard briefcase, a pocket full of lint, pipe and some markers, on the hunt to get the fingers dipped in some honey.
You might be saying to yourself.."So. Fuck off and post something decent for once".
No! fuck off!..Id like to pay respectos were respectos is due to the bladder in a box. More importantly, it's come to my attention via the ABC News page that my homeboy Thomas Angove, inventor of the wine cask aka (the sack, goon sack, silver pillow, goon bag, bums briefcase, flagon, goon flag) passed away yesterday aged 92. A bums head no longer rests on a pillow made of concrete thanks to Thomas. Chea!

Via ABC News :
The inventor of the wine cask, South Australian Riverland grape grower Thomas Angove, has died in Renmark, aged 92.
Mr Angove revolutionised wine packaging in the 1960s when he created the resealable plastic bag in a cardboard box.
His son, managing director of Angove Wines John Angove, says his father was a great contributor to the wine industry.
"I remember dad coming home with this sort of prototype of a plastic bag inside a cardboard box and I remember thinking to myself and I probably said it to dad 'That's crazy, nobody will buy wine in a plastic bag stuck inside a cardboard box', but in his usual manner he persisted," he said.
"He thought he was onto a good thing and history certainly indicates that he was.
"His commitment and involvement in industry matters and industry bodies and the welfare of the industry overall, as opposed to just Angove family winemakers, was very significant and I think reflects his very broad vision of what the world and life was all about."
Cheap, portable, non leaking tap plus the fact you can get off guts with 3 off your mates are just a few of the many attractive qualities of the cask as a youngster. Utilise your cask, a hills hoist clothes line and you got a good old game of Goon of Fortune (I can taste that fruity lexia just thinking about it) This will get you pussy kids!
Middle aged men getting down with it.
