Bet youll have the alarm clock set to 4am and a slab of beer sitting by your bed on the evening of July 31st.

Sparrows Fart: The earliest time of the morning. About the time when all the sparrows get up and let out a little fart signifying their awakening.

Talking about farting....the rest of you misers are so tight I doubt youd be able to squeeze out a sparrow fart.

Sparrow Fart = earlier than you want to get out of bed. As opposed to 'A Sparrows Arse' (asparagus) which is quite nice with veal & hollandaise sauce.

Sounds like something youd eat after youve had a few too many....a bit like an Adelaide pie floater.

Does that mean something different when said with a Kiwi accent?

July might be a tad rough on you, but at least it isn't going to be hot. So, good on ya for doing this.

Don't care who you are, cancer has touched your life directly or indirectly. 5$ isn't going to hurt the wallet, but if enough of us throw in a fiver it will make a difference. So, give up a pint or two while Sebastiaan gives up more than a few.
