Inceltown posted:Hope you're not planning on catching public transport in Sydney today. Whole train network is down and busses are so full they're not even stopping at Railway Square. My daughter won't be pleased. She went into the CBD office today and needs to get home to Penrith.

I emphasise with her tremendously. It's been on the back burner for the past few years but I so desperately want a nice hefty gold brick. I do anything for one. Anything.

I was in Marrickville today and realised how much I miss living there, it's just chill and I found another new music store I'd not seen before... Far funner and much better vibe than Kingsgrove. I don't hate it here, but it's getting between here and anywhere else that fkn sucks.

My old man was a technician for Telstra in the late 90s early 00s and use to visit the Perth CBD exchange a fair bit. As I kid I begged him to take me to work to see the epic quarter pipe on the roof in person.

Elissimpark posted:The Pancake Parlour closed down and I bet they just dumped the giant 'Lovely' stained glass window. Well poo poo I've learned something here, that Pancake Parlour (LOVELY!) is a Victoria thing and the ones in NSW and QLD are off-brand. I remember the one in Sydney from the 80s, been to the Gold Coast one, and the Brisbane one is a hoot, it's in a great old church with a bar and open 24 hours! Shame I don't love the food more, but it just feels like stuffing myself with flour and sugar every time.

Might chuck up some more historic pics. Orange, NSW, 1978  Sofala, NSW, 1971. If it looks vaguely familiar, it's where Peter Weir filmed his debut feature The Cars That Ate Paris in 1974.  Cottesloe Beach, Perth, WA, mid 60's.  Chullora, Sydney, 1956  Location unknown, presumably mid to late 70's, back when public safety regulations were... soft...  Location unknown, the old 'Tip'. Empty the car, have a scavenge for parts, mind the smell. Early 70's.  Coles, South Melbourne, Early 70's. Look familiar?  Same coles from the late 90's Dollar Dazzler ads, yes they're ripping off Independence Day for capitalism.  While we're at it, a Woolworths ad from the early 80's. Dang carton of Marly's for a tenner? Also how good that you can still get a jaffle maker for around $20? I mean, the one in the picture would still be working today, but today you can buy a new on each year for the same money!

That movie poo poo me up good and proper, I think it was on the ABC late 70s/early 80s, and I spent the next 3 months properly traumatized behind the sofa. Probably because I was growing up in a tiny country community and it all looked wayyy too close to home, the weird creepy townspeople and their weird customs.

Vladimir Poutine posted:They were only allowed to use Burger King trademarks if they expanded their business at a certain rate, which they fell short of or something If I remember right it wasn’t just that they couldn’t keep up, but that Burger King were deliberately making it impossible to keep up so the franchises would revert to them. Meanwhile Burger King were opening their own stores just to gently caress Hungry Jacks even harder. I think I remember the Hungry Jacks at the Ringwood Shell servo was a Burger King at first. Ghost Leviathan posted:90s ads with australians trying to do american accents are a very particular mood Back in grade 5, miming a phone with your hands and yelling “Barry! Barry! Listen to me Barry! I’ll get back to ya Barry!” was the funniest poo poo ever.
