I used to be able to do all that when I was twenty something. Cigs and beer are 
long gone. I must admit I do miss the beer. Clausthaler is as close as it gets 
now. Not bad for an NA beer.

talk, smoke, drink beer and work at the same time.  H   Oz must 
be a special place if the natives can do all that.


Seems like back in the vaterland, around 1970 or so, the DB emplyees 
could manage to work and dring beer at the same time.  Not sure any 
of them could manage all 4.   Oz is a special place isn't it.


someone here could probably manage 3 work, drink beer, and smoke 
at the same time by putting the stinkarette in their nose.



Yes you are. In Australia it is necessary to shorten words as much 
as possible, due to the numerous flies. Plus it's hard to talk and 
drink beer at the same time, made even worse if you smoke.

Best I can tell, in the USA it's typically called a Cresent (TM)
wrench [spanner].  Or to avoid the trademarked name it is called
an "adjustable wrench" [spanner].

Am I right?
