I lived in melbourne a few years ago and used to work just outside the city, when i finished my saturday shifts i'd go and watch the last quarter of whatever was the daytime MCG game - they opened up the gates, it was free! :p but its still only about $35aud for a general admission ticket, so...
ooh- you should defo try and get to Marvel and the MCG, to compare the two stadiums - the Essendon v Dogs game should be good if its under the lights, and then id say both the MCG games would be belters - Hawthorn v Carlton will be two fairly decent sides, and while Richmond v Collingwood wont...
I'm one of those 60k volunteers, and can book my spot in january - i get nice quiet camping with showers and catering just outside gate B, can go from the monday onwards, and have to do 3 x 8hr shifts for my ticket. Though getting priority with Oxfam involves doing at least one other festival...
Just not a top tier tea. Yorkshire, PG, Twinings all significantly better, before you even step into the realm of Teapigs or other more artisan affairs. Typhoo is old skool mediocritea. OK theyre clearly better than Lipton of course, but thats not exactly hard. Lift your game, Typhoo, you can't...
£3 in the North stand, circa approx 1993. Went up to £3.50 at the end of the 93/94 season i believe. I used to bunk the train, nick two cans of Fosters from my Dad, buy a programme for a quid, and do the whole day out for a fiver :thumbsup:
If you cant get a GP appointment for a while, and your first thought is 'it must be the foreigners' and not 'why are the NHS so criminally underfunded', then i'd suggest you look at your immediate reaction.
And you two really need to be more co-ordinated - one of you has no black faces in the...
Is it preferential treatment for new/foreign people, or is it for anyone from an ethnic minority?
Its just that as an Irish citizen i'm a foreign, so should qualify for the secret Doctor's surgeries, BUT i'm white. spectacularly so in fact, in that i'm really pale like a lot of us celts are. So...
I'll be honest now, my first thought upon going into an A+E waiting room isnt 'jeez, how many ethnic minorities are here? Let me count them' because they're just people, who are exactly the same as me, only with a bit more melanin in their skin.
Oh, there's none here! Now is that a...
My Dad was an Arsenal fan, as it was the team with the most irishmen when he moved over in the early 70's. I'm a Spurs fan and have been for as long as i've had a hole in my arse, but as a kid wasnt allowed to go to london on my own - however Brighton was fine, said my parents! - so my formative...
If you're intimidated by people having a little dance, then perhaps the problem is with you, and not the dance.
Personally i dont really agree with all that 'you must respect the Haka' nonsense - opposing teams should be able to do whatever they fancy: warm up, have a stare, a nice little chat...
At risk of opening up a can of worms, (metaphorical, not literal, i dont think there's a worm-based breakfast anywhere) i do think a full scottish is a wonderful breakfast, and takes precedence ahead of a full english.
The tattie scone, the square sausage, the variety of different blood...
That might be what they want us to think! Lure us in with black pudding and bubble, and the next thing you know they're forcing C18 literature and tattoos upon us . . . tbf there's not many cafes do bubble any more, and it might tempt me over to the right for at least an hour out of a morning
I'm a Cafe Continental man, on seaside road. Used to live above it, about twenty years ago or so. The toilet used to permanently smell like sausages, which is equal parts wonderful and dreadful, depending on the previous night's exploits. Never been to the Beatty Road cafe but its all Union...
Prefer the Di'Anno era stuff myself as well - its just punkier and more immediate, and significantly less in the way of 14 minute nonsense epics featuring that ululating oaf Dickinson. There's always a place for Maiden, but i'm far happier with Steve Harris being the mouthpiece of the band...
