BIG WEEKEND FELLAS!!

Weekends are always special, especially when you have worked more than your share of hours during the week, bearing a self praising boss who is gunning for your neck with the first mistake he could spot and not to mention faking a smile on your face for 8 hours a day even when customers are telling you to “shove your services up your….”.

However, the biggest and most exciting weekend of the year is just round the corner fellas, as the GRAND FINALE IS HERE!! St Kilda V The Cats! It just doesn’t get any bigger than this, especially if you have been an avid follower of any of these two teams.

So….Melbourne weather is at its unpredictable best, keen to showcase all four seasons in one single day, getting decent tickets for the game is like mission impossible and an expectant crowd which promises to overfill the MCG. Aren’t these the perfect ingredients to do something extraordinary for your best mate, going out of your way? These are the times when great bloke stories are made.

So if you have booked your tickets for the final, made all the other arrangements and think you’re all set, then think again. Perhaps, you would like to call your mate and ask him if he’s got his tickets and if not then jump to the rescue and do an effen great bloke on your mate…..And hey! Do not forget to record it or write it in less than 150 words and submit it for the effen™ Great Bloke competition. These are the kind of stories which we are so keenly looking forward to.

Imagine this…if you win, then next year, if your team wins the Grand Finale, then the celebration back at your place for you and your mate, would be ON effen™.

Anyway fellas, I hope you enjoy the Grand Finale.

Keep Living The Oath, Like An Effen Great Bloke.

I Will See You When I See You!

Who Am I??

Hi Again Folks!

This is my third attempt at writing blogs now and I have already realised that its not as easy as I thought it would be.

What I also realised is that its my third attempt and I have not yet told you, who am I?

Folks, I am the Effen Great Bloke, who is an Effen Great Bloke you ask?

Its me and perhaps you or may be that cool neighbor of yours, Effen Great Bloke is celebration of life personified. A bloke who lives the Effen oath to always look for good times

An Effen Great Bloke wears a three piece suit to the office with a regular cappuccino in his hand, hair all brushed and proper, looking set for that important client meeting. The same bloke will come out of MCG after his team’s victory, yelling out the team’s name at the top of his voice like a maniac, high fiving everyone he sees. An Effen Great Bloke is just like an Effen Premium Lager, superbly balanced, refreshing finish.

Did this sound like what your mates would do? If your answer is yes, then let me tell you, YOUR LIFE JUST GETS BETTER!!

Effen offers to give away FREE supply of BEER for ONE FULL YEAR to ONE Effen Great Bloke and His One Best Mate.

All you need to do is, tell us in 150 words or less about why you think you are an Effen Great Bloke. Alternatively, you can also send us a photo or a video which highlights why you are an Effen Great Bloke.

The best photo, video or text will receive ONE YEAR OF FREE BEER for himself and his one Best Mate. If that does not excite you…….then you’re not even in contention for being an Effen Great Bloke.

There are also many weekly prizes to be won. Being an Effen Great Bloke is a lot of fun, check it out here.

So, get the entries flowing folks, I can’t wait to see who wins this, all the Effen Great Blokes out there trying to convey why they are the best.

Anyway, That set now for folks, keep living the oath like an Effen Great Bloke.

I Will See You, When I See You!

A New Day

Hi All!

A new day, a new blog!

Getting up in the morning can be so hard when you open your eyes and the weather outside makes you feel as if the sun went on a permanent vacation. The strong wind has decided to force you to think of an excuse to not go to work and the little drizzles of rain are not helping as well.

The only motivation is that summer shall be here soon and the fine times of tan, beach outings and BBQ parties would be in full swing. While there is never a bad time to down a few Effen beers, summer offers the best time to enjoy your Effen Beer along with your favourite BBQ dish or anything else that suits you. Especially with all your mates around you on a warm Sunday morning

While we wait for the summer to kick in, the greatest time of the year is already on. AFL finals have started and the anticipation and intensity is once again at its peak like every year. It’s once again time to go through your contact book and call up those forgotten friends and see if anyone has an extra ticket. Make sure you say your greetings first though, directly asking for tickets does not really go down too well with people. I learnt that the hard way last year when I called up an old mate and missed out on a corporate box ticket he had.

As much fun it is during the finals, unless you want to survive on cheese burgers for a week, do not and I repeat DO NOT watch the games sitting in a TAB with a bunch of strangers pushing you to bet more. Do it the old fashioned way. Sitting at the local pub, watching the game with your close mates, enjoying a couple of effen beers and betting a few bucks, that’s fun, isn’t it?

Anyway folks, hope you all enjoy the finals, I know I will! Hope I get up tomorrow to a bright sunny day and wind stops playing peek-a-boo with me.

I Will See You When I See You!

Let The Fun Begin

Alrighty!! Here it is! Finally I have taken some time off my so called “busy” schedule to write the inaugural effen^TM blog.

This goes to all the blokes and gals out there who enjoy the social side of social media and enjoy talking about the days of old over a decent beverage, preferably a craft beer. As for those who waste their time downing lolly water and spritzers and are best left to the doof doof clubs on Chapel Street, I don’t really care about them.

Talking about care, Carlton’s Judd the “CHAMPION” should have put more care in his statements to the media. I can’t believe that he admitted using pressure point tactic on Lion’s Rischitelli. Who is under pressure now Judd, huh?!

Anyway…the media can be a pain in the royal backside sometimes. Last night I was watching the breaking news and they went on forever and day about the obesity epidemic, and food being the next fashion label all in the same breath. It drove me insane and I had to turn the bloody thing off once I found one of the right remote.

But sometimes you do find some quality moments on TV. Take this morning for instance - I watched a travel writer being friendly with a lion. Well as friendly as you can be with a lion’s gob hanging off the end of your arm. I’m sure that wasn’t meant to be the gist of the story, but it’s a good lesson not to disturb the King of the Jungle during their beauty sleep.

That’s why I associate high risk adventure with coming home after a hard days work and downing a few effen^TM beers, even though you have promised your wife that you will be home in time for dinner. Although she’s usually fuming by this stage, broom in hand - and I still have the nerve to ask her “Sweetheart! You’re still cleaning?”

That’s it for now. Keep the good times gold and being the effen^TM best you can be.
