Gas, iv never been to Oz but would often chat away to lads who are back as if I had. Not much to the story, lost weekend in Nimbin, Frazier Island, weekends in camper vans. Tea gardens, Xmas on the beach. It’s a fukien doddle
Now I don blame any lad just out of college for this behaviour, but lads in their late twenties and thirties need to get a grip.
Oh yeah, and lads coming back with Tattos, eyebrow piercings and braided necklaces…fuck off
the coogee and cock and bull are shitholes-go to oz to get pissed with backpackers ffs
would disagree about the sports though-you should get into what the locals are into-nothing worsethan Irish lads building their whole weekends around the epl
Absolutely. The only European soccer I watched over there was Israel v Ireland at about 3am in an Irish club. Had to go into a peepshow afterwards to kill time before the first tram, which I then fell asleep on and ended up back in the centre of Melbourne. Going to watch Carlton and getting into the Aussie Rules then was great fun and a good way to feel more at home in the city.
Actually, the AFL season must be kicking off soon? Where’s GMan with his preview?
The Coogee Bay would have few enough county jerseys. The beer garden is a lovely spot on a Sunday evening. Facing out to the sea and full of Aussie princesses strutting around. The Clovelly Bay is a nice spot too.
Less said about the Bull and the other slum Tea Gardens the better. On these wet days they will be jointed from early on with lads in the high vis vests and traffic controllers having been rained off.
Yeah not long to go, they’re in pre-season now…
I’m sorry Sid, but what you describe there is all terribly 2001.
Alan Shatter will be here next week, though I’m not sure if he’ll be making an appearance at the Cock & Bull.
Maybe for you personally Fitzy but looking at my Facebook feed it’s all looks very 2012.
We obviously move in different social circles Tinnion.
I just hope that TASE doesn’t have to encounter this type of thing over here. I’d hate to think of his refined demeanour being upset by this sort of nastiness.
ill be spending my time in sunny suberbia-i wont be going to dingy Irish bars filled with muckmunchers
I dont know how Sid can look down on anyone for being depressive deluded pissheads. This is the poster that listens to belinda carlisle (back catalogue) while swilling copious amounts of stonehouse cider let us not forget.
Not sure if Shatter would fit in with the 'Bull crowd but if is good enough for the likes of Shane Long, Tadgh Kenneally and Bernard Brogan to spend night after night in then the minister for justice would probably feel right at home.
The Bull and the Tea gardens are awful shit holes but the owners must take in some money out of them. A lot of the people that frequent these bars, Sydney is the first time they were ever really out of their home town. others its just a continuation of college. Maybe some have left the depression of home behind with fuck all money now they are content to blow it all. I think there are better things people should do with their money but am not going to judge them too much. The Aus experience and these bars are like the Hole in the Wall and first year college was for some of us. I guess they are handy for getting work, getting the ride (the transient Irish women are horrendous whores I am reliably informed) and shure getting loaded great craic shure.
havent been in either of them in a while but the smoking area of the Bull is hilarious. It has an open roof kind of but obviously health and safety came in and said there wasnt enough fresh air getting into it. The solution was to hook up a type of sprinkler system to the ceiling rafters. Every couple of minutes it kind of spits out a kind of a spray that is supposed to keep the smoke down. Sure the biddies some of them, the fake tan gets destroyed, hair frizzed up. it isnt even an Irish bar either. Both places have utter scumbags on the doors too involved in numerous fights with irish people.
serious wedge :lol:
fair play to the lads earning it.
have you been to Aus Sid?
What’s this shit about “living the dream” in Oz? Every second cunt is posting as their FB status recently, last time I checked buddy you work as a lollypop lady and you drink wine from a box while you live in an apartment with 20 other smelly fucks. You really should raise the bar when “living the dream”.
:lol:
:lol:
POTY
At least I don’t think heaven is a place on earth called County Bondi, drunkenly pissing a circle in the sand after getting in a fight with a bouncer outside the Bogan Stand.
:lol:
