It can be a big mistake to try and disagree with the beautifully crafted posts of Rincewind but, alas, this time he has it completely the wrong way round ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> In fact, the people of Gomorrah were the ancestors of modern Australians and their chief occupation was drinking as much as possible. They would NEVER have watered their malts! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
During a fit of prohibition enthusiasm Jehovah decided to wipe the drunken city from the face of the earth.
As the thunderbolts and brimstone rained down on the city, and the voice thundered from the heavens "Thou shalt not get on the p*ss!" the Gomorrans realised that their city was doomed, and had only hours left before complete oblivion.... so they began to drink even faster, and more enthusiastically...
Hence the Australian expression "to party like there's no Gomorrah".... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
