Aust. Stimulus Package

[Cin]

So the good old Australian government has started handing out up to $950 to many Australians, no strings attached!! They want to stimulate the economy so tell me, how are you going to use your cash?

I still don't know. Maybe save it for the tour, buy a laptop, or a Dyson, maybe get a bitchin' tattoo, put it towards a holiday. . . . . pay some bills

 

[RedRocksU2]

Or have a crab dinner.

 

[Cin]

Geez, that was fast!!

Pinchy does look tasty

 

[RedRocksU2]

do it

 

[Cin]

You can't tell me what to do!!

*slinks off to buy crab dinner*


STOP DERAILING MY THREAD

 

[Sicy]

That's awesome. I heard we're supposed to be getting one too.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

$950 would buy some pretty good booze, perhaps a prostitute or two.

 

[coolian2]

i've always wanted 950 $1 burritos.

 

[bono_man2002]

Mines going to stimulate the US economy!

^ haha Een.. Fry would buy 950 cups of coffee

Lauren and I both get 900, so we are buying a bitchin stainless steel 2-door fridge with water and ice dispenser, and that kool click-down door for wine bottles.

LOL!

Anyway, the whole point of the money is to spend it. Saving it would be counterproductive to the purpose of the stimulus package.

How dare you Pinchy!!


Ooh, crab legs.. with butter..

Thanks to a screw-up by ol' Ruddy, I might be getting two sets. Something to do with being a part-time student.

I've already put away $500 to eventually get a trip overseas, I spend enough money in my pocket as it is.

ooh, i wonder for how much? obvs i'm grateful for any free money i get, but i'll be pissed if it's next to nothing like it was last time.

 

[coolian2]

it beats the nothing we get here

 

[A_Wanderer]

It doesn't buy me a job, and other than inject cash into retail (perhaps via some freed up credit cards) I don't really see how it would work (from an economically illiterate point of view).

I'm spending mine on getting my car serviced, registration, and insurance; and a prostitute.

 

[Acrobat Angel]

I got $1000 last November from the first package and $950 from this one. I'm going on a teaching practicuum (most likely to Tamworth) for uni later in the year, so that will cover the accommodation, transport etc. I also need to pay car registration and insurance. Hopefully, I'll have some left over for a possible U2 tour next year too.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I'm still dubious I'll even get the money, but admittedly it does seem like I fit in the box this time.

I'll be spending the money on deep-level research to allow me to post even more and sharper threads here at Lemonade stand.



















Guys.


No, I'll save it, probably. In fact, definitely.

You've got Khan, no cash could compare to her.






I almost gagged writing that.

that's true, but the cash would make it easier to get back to her in november.


hahahaha.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I'm gonna spend the $900 on a huge U2 splurge, guys.

Just wall to wall U2.

 

[Galeongirl]

This thread name is so wrong.

 

[cobl04]

This thread name is so wrong.

So's the swathe of guys who now have a new pick up line:

Hey baby, want to see my stimulus package?


Mine will go to rego, insurance, petrol, gas, jb hifi...

 

[intedomine]

Probably fund some overseas trip, so tempted to just use it at Jb's or hit the city and waste it all on booze....

 

[cobl04]

hit the city

what do you recommend?

I'm totally going to use that.

 

[The Sad Punk]

what do you recommend?

1. Drink carton of Heineken prior.
2. Chase blackjack dealer around the Crown because they don't know who Roxette are.

I know someone who did this, except it was at Sky City. If you do it, some kind of a wonderful circle will be complete.

Actually, I don't know what people do in Melbourne.

 

[Angela Harlem]

i don't know which bill to pay first. god, fuck you, telstra. i hate you.

Sounds like a good time! Don't know how I'll go drinking a carton of Heineken though...

I've heard about Sky City, good place?

No bills for me yet! I'm just annoying centrelink trying to figure out how many things I can apply for to boost my bank account.

 

[dan_smee]

^ changed my mind.

We are now spending it on flights to London and going to see the 2 at Wembly!
