Queensland don't go on daylight savings so 3:00pm Melbourne is 2:30 Brisbane, you'll be just getting called to board as they are loading. Nice.

Wouldn't that be 2pm Brisbane (and 2.30pm Adelaide).

Not sure if I'll scab in on the wife's work thingy but I got my annual leave approved so I think I might substitute my food allocation money to go on piss and betting at the Reepham for their $5 pints all day.

I don't think they do anything fancy for Melbourne Cup (or ever) but they will cdater well for the two staples I'll need for the day...................and it wont be crowded.

Would be handy location wise as very close to my girlfriend's work but I'm not a fan.
Might end up at the local or end up not bothering at all.

I tuned in as I was driving back to Melb from SA yesterday. I had $20 on Humidor, it was only in the call twice!
