I am newly to the UK and find some one end their phone text or an informal note with "xxx", this also appears after a post on BBS.

So what's that "xxx" mean?

Cheers guys

The kisses are just an way to end an affectionate way to end a message and nothing should be read into them.

XXX would mean sex or porn in the US. XOXO, however, would be hugs and kisses.

Could do. XXXX is a brand of beer from Queensland.

XX is a brand of beer from Mexico.

I suppose that means that two bottles of Mexican beer is worth one bottle of Australian beer.

"I suppose that means that two bottles of Mexican beer is worth one bottle of Australian beer."

Hmm...

Both Oz and Mexico are pretty proficient at brewing up good beer. Not really a valid comparison, in my opinion.

I think that Australia's beer is shit.

Generally Australian beer in my opinion does not stack up well against decent beer like that which they make in Europe & this is coming from an Aussie (who loves beer) but if you're looking for it, you can find good Aussie beer. XXXX is one of the big comercial brews, i.e. not so great, so XX would have to be pretty crappy by this "logic". I never really meant it to be a valid comparison though.

XX ("Dos Equis"), founded in Veracruz by a German named Wilhelm Hasse.
