Haha mate it's a recession. Where is the first place people turn when depressed?
Domino's Pizza I would imagine not the so called "top end of town" but I could be wrong. Prob not tho.
Haha maybe thats appropriate for women, however in my experience I would say they hit the bottle more than anything.
I agree with the bottle, but not the 'top end of town' bottle! I'd be a little worried if I was a bartender at some fancy place in town (say stabbos or something)... I was in London last week and they had shut down one of the major restaurants in Canary Wharf (where most of the banks are) because no-one went out anymore! Let alone to 'Top end of town' establishments! Anyway.... No more Coopers pale for me.. back to the green marine tinnies! go VB! :cry: :lol:

He obviously confused it with COOPERS SPARKLING :idea: which sits comfortably on the top shelf of beers.

If this 'recession' really does kick in and affect us all, I'll start skipping meals before I trade down to some disgusting working man's swill like V.B.................

IT appears as though today is going to be another shockerr on the market with predictions of another 6% loss of the all ords afte the dow traded down over 7% and sydney futures trading down 300 odd points this morning...I thinkthat this is going to be a bumpy road or quite a while now given that the average turn around of a bear market is about 3 years plus.

What, 30c in the dollar from Opes doesn’t cut it, BadBuff?

“Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing for something.”

This might make you laugh, though.

I rear-ended a car this morning.

So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car.

You know how sometimes you just get so stressed and little things just seem funny?

Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... he was a DWARF!!!

He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!!!'

So, I looked down at him and said, 'Well, then which one are you?'

I still remember very clearly the day when some Commonwealth Bank people came into our classroom and said we should all start up bank accounts. Because that's what people did. I was in Third Class or Fourth Class (okay, the memory isn't that clear) at Austinmer Public School, and everyone in my class started one up. I think my opening balance was 40c. Probably everyone's was. Maybe the kids who lived up on Hill Street and Foothills Road started off with $2.00 or something. The Commonwealth Bank people told us our accounts would grow, just like that. When I took my bank book home and showed Dad, he got mad: 'Crooks! Conmen! ****!' That sort of thing. I got the message and grew up thinking making money doing nothing is a scam and a steal - stealing from someone. I don't know what I think now. No, yes I do - I still think that way. Haha, no I don't I don't know! Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!
