Fuck the pain away

Damn Peaches and her sexy (yet addictive) agenda!

Plastic is back. That's all I'll say for now.

Am I the only one excited by the changes to the NSW Liquor laws? In previous discussions about bars, I facetiously remarked that I would go to Melbourne [bars] to meet interesting new people. The reason was that bars in Sydney often have to cater to the lowest common denominator to make any money, one of the costs being the $15,000(!) dine-or-drink license.

From what i've read, the new laws are 1) aiming to encourage wine bars and other 'boutique watering holes' and 2) increasing live music, and making it easier for underage performers to get into bars (Operator Please keeps coming up. They're not that good, or that influential...or are they!?) More details here. They 'stiffed' hotels, but they have more than enough power anyway. Not really a big deal. Either way, the new deal looks to be awesome.

In inflationary news, milk went up by 10 cents a litre. That's a 10 percent rise! Methinks Woolworths is lying about low prices. Also, possible interest rate rise? 8-ball says:

YES.
