Well, I have my embassy appointment sorted out (14th june), and the paperwork should be sorted out for the 8th or 9th. Money is sorted, and with luck, I’ll be heading out to the US late June or early July.
If you happen to spot a big truck over there with a yellow plate in the window with my nick on it, and 2 St George’s cross stickers, that will be me. Probably mostly be in Kansas/Colorado.
Give me plenty of space, I don’t drive bendy wagons over here 
Hey Alli, your doing the harvest right…■■ If you look like your gonna get down to Arizona, and can stand the heat, write me up, we’ll go have a beer…!!!
Stuart
She isn’t gonna have time for a beer, but very good luck to Alli anyway
There’s AWAYS time for a beer!!!
Especially if tornado season is the slightest bit rough 
Hey Alikat…We will be in Kansas too!! Flying out on May 28th. Going to work for Kramer Harvesting. If you are about give us a shout. 
I’ll keep an eye out for anyone else flying The English or Brit flags and give a honk and a wave. 
Hope to see you lot around.
I know I seem to put this harvesting thing down, but that is because i don’t want to see all of you disilousioned or regretting you actions. I really do wish you all the very best of luck, and if you get any time when the harvest is over get up to Lake George Ny and we’ll have a drink.
Good luck and just be prepared for the worst and when it gets better it will seem wnderful. … Safe tripto all of you. 
Well, I know it’ll be hard work, and long, long days. And where does that differ from trucking over here?
Besides, almost anything has to be better than a life as an agency driver, mostly doing tipper work… If nothing else, $20 cartons of smokes is a big improvement
Besides, I want at least a month off in the US afterwards, I have people to spend time with in CO, NC, NY, and PA. And many beers to pass my lips in each state
Looking forwards to seeing you Pat, private message me the best number to get you on, and I’ll give you a call from somewhere more local to you…

quote]Just make sure you don’t drink the ‘domestic’ beers i.e. Budweisser, Coors etc, it’s like drinking beer flavoured water, it will take you all week just to get merry
hahaha… Pat’s a Coors drinker, Cliff… think he’d disagree with you there… though he does think Bud is crap…
CORRS ORIGINAL though, not that lite stuff.
Bud is crap here but the Bud you get in the UK tastes great, so why the different taste 
When I’m over I’m quite fond of Miller “High Life” although you can’t get it here in the U.K. but nearly all the rest of the popular American beers are here.
Last I was there, I tried to get drunk on Bud. Bad move. The “Why is drinking a bud like making love in a canoe?” line seemed to go down well.

Coors? COORS?? Ha! Ha! Ha!..Bloody lightweight!
Horse’s Urine!

Probably the water US Government strict controls on the Alcoholic content etc, etc
Among the many Lagers I drink, I especially like Castlemaine XXXX (Can’t get Castlemaine over here tho’) and Fosters (which you can get over here) and this really makes me laugh, cuz ( and I’m looking at the bottle of one I’m drinking now) it says on the label “The definitive Australian Beer” , It also says “Imported” and we all know the slogan, “Fosters…Australian for Beer” so with all that in mind and the quite clearly stated “Imported” on the case and on front of the label, anyone would be forgiven for assuming they are buying genuine Aussie beer imported from Australia, right?..wrong! it’s imported alright…from Bloody Canada!
Now I’m sure some of you will think I am being a little too picky, but If I want an imported beer brewed in Canada I’ll buy a Canadian Beer like Moosehead, and when I want an imported British beer I expect it to be brewed in Britain, likewise for Dutch beers from Holland, German Beers from…well, you get the picture. I want my ‘imported’ Fosters brewed in Australia, if they can’t brew it there and send it here, then they need to brew it here, just like they do in the UK, mind you on second thoughts if they brewed it here, it would probably come out like Horses Urine Budweiser…ok on second thoughts maybe Canada is a good idea after all
Too right Cliff,after sampling a few of the locals produsts when I was in a slave camp i.e. The Grain Harvest(LOL) I found Fosters.I thought my prayers had been answered,but was very dissapointed tasting the “Aussie” beer and even more saddened seeing that it was brewed in Canada.
I consoled myself with consuming copious amounts of the Canadian product until it felt like I was drinking the ridgy-didge article,but it wasn’t the same.
Good luck all you blokes and lasses heading over to USA on the Grain Harvest,you will discover why the Mexicans won’t do the Harvest
Moulson ain’t too bad, we can get Bass, Carlsberg (Yuck), Newcastle Brown and Killians red, not forgetting Guiness, Becks is very expensive at about $4.50 a bottle, When I last bought a bottle in Germany it was 25 pence.

I have to be happy here in Phoenix, I can get Scottish beer. I can get McEwans, sometimes Tennents, and at several stores, even supermarket chains I can get Belhaven. Brewed and imported from Edinburgh or Dunbar, its as close to home as I will get till September and sure makes a drinking night seem normal to me. I had to deal with Coors, then moved onto my current favorite American beer, MGD, its passable for Yank standards but not in general for mine.
But, when I go back home and I go to the pub, everyone is drinking Bud, or Coors or some Yank beer cos they think its trendy or something. I tell them its ■■■■ water but they won’t listen.
Anyway
Everyone be safe
