Someone made a false libellous post about another poster breaking several of the site rules. All dealt with.

Even checked my bank account and email receipts in case I bought it when drunk but nothing.
Nice book but....

Mystery solved.
My daughter ordered it for me for Fathers Day but there was no note/card as it came direct from the publisher.

Be sure to post a review when you've had a flick through it. If it's any good then I might drop some hints for next year's Fathers Day.

Sounds similar to Kramer's coffee table book about coffee tables that turns into a coffee table.

Hey team, I’m heading to Brisvagas next Friday for the foozball. I’ve never been there before so question is what are some things I should do will I’m up there? What places i should check out, what pub should I have a beer in etc. I’m going with 2 mates so more focused on a boys trip type of things. Go the Power!

I used to go up there regularly and love the place, used to stay just out of the CBD or in the CBD.
If you're in the CBD I like the Pig and Whistle down on the river, if you're just out then definitely go to the Breakfast Creek Hotel for a steak and beer.
Most of the pubs in the CBD were pretty ordinary last time I was there but it was an Australia Day holiday.
I actually prefer it around Fortitude Valley, don't be scared to go there, its not as bad as it was, much better than Hindley St.
The Valley is a 10 min taxi out of the CBD.
I've never been to the GABBA, only Suncorp so others can give you the lowdown on pubs around there.
Enjoy!

Only been there once for Livid Festival in the 90s but the first pub we went to after booking in had a sport name, Sporties or Sportsmans maybe. Wasn't til after a beer or two we realised it was a gay bar. Don't get sucked in by the name

We are staying 400m from the casino apparently so I guess that’s in the CBD. Being a horse owner and lover of racing we are thinking of going to Doomben for the day. They have a Bundaberg rum/Country music themed day going on. Coming from the country myself and rum is a fav of my it’s almost a lure to go there.

True story
1997 Cox Plate boys trip
On the drink at the track since 11am, then on the town. One by one the group of 10 make their way back to the hotel in the early hours and I’m last man standing. Roughly 3am, I start making my way to the hotel & I spot a bar still open. Wander in & order a pot, “No tap beer, honey” he said. “Crown Lager then thanks”. Bar man comes back with a champagne glass with bubbles & a green tinge. “I know I’ve been on the sauce all day but that’s not a Crownie”.
Barman says “No it’s not, it’s a Midori & Champagne he bought it for you”, then points to a bloke at the end of the bar smiling at me. “You don’t know what sort of bar this is, do you?” I replied “I’ve got a fair idea now!” Barman said “You’ll be ok now”
I had another.

Also in 1997, Thailand footy trip. Been on the sauce all day, just me and a mate still going. "Take us to the Disco Duck please sir" (the best nightclub around). Get there and it's evident pretty quick that it's a gay bar, rude not to stay for a drink or two so we do. After we leave a bit bemused we realise he has taken us to the Dicky Duck

Have a great trip mate, sounds like it will be epic.

Got mine today. It went up from $66.50pm to $69.70pm.
Thank you Allianz, such a good insurance company they even got me a very horny girlfriend twice, true story!

What the fallout for QANTAS will be in the long term. Share price has fallen 15% in the last 7 days. The ACCC I think will be successful in having them fined which will probably hurt the share price again.
