Let’s Take A Moment To Pay Tribute To The Humble Esky

Not only does this wonderful cooling device keep our beers perfectly chilled during picnics on hot summer days, but it also helped save the day during Jimmy Barnes’ Boxing Day bash.

Let’s allow Sydney Confidential to tell us more.

Jimmy Barnes’ Sydney home was thrown into chaos on Boxing Day when his new daughter-in-law Lisa Hewitt lost the huge solitaire in her engagement ring.

And guess where they ended up finding this undoubtedly hugely expensive diamond? Yes, the bling paid for by the inexplicably large number of people who prefer to purchase David Campbell’s versions of classic songs rather than revel in the majesty of the original tunes?

IN THE ESKY! YES! STEP UP AND ACCEPT A NATION’S SINCERE THANKS, OH HUMBLE BUT GLORIOUS COOLER OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES!

I like that Lisa Hewitt describes the experience as “terrifying”. God forbid she ever loses her huge solitaire IN MUMBAI DURING A TERRORIST ATTACK.

Oh god. I sound like Les Twentyman during Paris Hilton’s visit. Forget what I said. Lisa Hewitt has the right to be “terrified” by whatever she damn well pleases.
