As in, a big glass of beer with blokes skydiving out of it, or that one where they shoot beer ingredients into the clouds (and a deer, for some reason), and then it rains beer?

The latter.

The second one is a Toohey's ad, as the deer is in their logo. Can't remember the music in it, though.

Though it would be funny to rock up at a black metal concert dressed like some wanky hipster who goes to ten Radiohead shows per tour and flew all the way to Montreal to see The Arcade Fire in their hometown.

I know some weirdo who bought a Britney Spears t-shirt at a metal fest and wore it proudly for the three days the festival was. :lol:

:whistle: I guess Ali could guess who I mean.
 
Everything about the Crown is nauseating.

Well, sure I did get a pretty nice spinach and feta pide there, and I got a pint of Guinness which was reasonably priced, but yeah. Fuck, it's horrible. Nothing like that should be built.
 
I like bits of Lance's list, but Ax's still wins this time.

Hooray!

Can't get over how well I'm going in the first round. LM reckons the round between him and I will determine the group. But I still don't think I'll make the next round. Bonnie's probably got a better chance of that than I do.

I do agree... but I can park there for $6 a day :reject:

I have to laugh every time they pretend to care about "Gambling Addiction Awareness week" or whatever it's called... I walk past fifty huge posters exhorting (ooh, I like that word) passers-by to lose their money on a variety of fun new computerised gambling games, designed to be even easier for total n00bs to lose money at, and right at the end, before the food court upstairs where nobody goes, is ONE poster (admittedly yellow) saying "Crown endorses Responsible Gambling week" or some crap. And the little Responsible Gambling help centre thing is tucked away in a corner behind an ice cream place. And that's been shunted somewhere else now cos they're renovating everything.

Bah.

Well, we'll see. I think I'm up against Reggo first, and I expect to be soundly pwned.

Your list is a lot more internally coherent than Lance's... he reckoned he never listened to it :lol:

ESPECIALLY NOT WHEN IT'S BLOCKING A RAILWAY LINE THIS CITY URGENTLY NEEDS RESTORED! UUUUGGGGHHHH.

The trams to Port Melbourne and St Kilda were, until 1987, railway lines. They accessed Flinders St Station by passing through the site of Crown and across what is now a footbridge (the one that looks rather obviously like a railway bridge, though I suspect I am the only person on this thread sufficiently familiar with bridge architecture to be able to spot an ex-railway bridge when I see one). Now those routes, especially the 96, are so hopelessly overcrowded that the railway should be restored. Crown's just a little too in the way for that, though!

Fucking criminal they were ripped up in the first place. The Port Melbourne line was Australia's very first railway!
 
... :lol: Seriously??

Dork is right! He obviously survived... :wink:
Well, yea :lol: That's where the whole Britney thing started. Mr. Geek just had to keep it rolling. And yea, some people thought he was seriously a die hard fan! :lmao:


GG2, are you ever going to change your location? I mean, you don't have to of course, it's just a bit creepy, you know?

I should :hmm: Any suggestions?

Plus they pay a whopping ONE DOLLAR RENT A YEAR. Until 2040 or some shit. Just because that land was apparently worthless when Crown leased it.

I know the bridge you mean, all massive iron girders and huge rivets. Definitely looks very railway-y to me!

:lol:

Though oddly enough, it's almost become a fad amongst crappier metal bands to cover Britney Spears for b-sides. :huh:

Oh WHAT?! It's prime city real estate! How the fuck can it possibly be worthless? I mean, really, come on now.

:up: Yep, plus it looks far, far too wide to have ever been intended to be a footbridge! It used to carry four railway tracks. :sigh:
