Re: the real aus,the dark side..
We've driven around in cabs seeking any open establishments in Sydney - in fact did the same only recently seeing some mates from London - nowt open. Even down Kings Cross those grotty places were closed up at 11.00 pm. It's a fact! Happened about 3 weeks ago - not decades ago.

Re: the real aus,the dark side..
Golly! Why would that stay open all night? Is it near a shift worker area? Those carpets are reminiscent of an LSD overdose. But thanks for that... any port in a storm and all that.........

OMG...The Alex Hotel! I know this thread is about 'the dark side' but that is taking things a little too far!

- The 3 Wise Monkeys Pub, 555 George Street open till 3:00 am
- Scruffy Murphy's, Goulburn St, does it ever close ?
- Strawberry Hills Hotel, Elizabeth Street, open till 6:00am
I can however believe in Taxi Drivers that can't find their way around.

And then theres the 24 hour pub in Pyrmont, loads of places round Crown St/Oxford St (backs to the wall in some of them though), a couple round Central.
As an absolute last resort there is always the casino.

Re: the real aus,the dark side..
Just in the Cross I can think of half a dozen places to get a late drink (empire, Sports Bar, meltbar, world bar, etc) and thats not even taking into account the stripclubs.

[QUOTE=aston;9173102]
having lost both a family member to drugs and several friends to drugs i can safely say loosing a friend is no where near as painful...yes it hurts and devestates you but family is family and the emotional ties are much stronger (most of the time!)
12 year old daughters...
Know how to manipulate their parents, set them up and prey on their biggest fears.
With parents who constantly worry about it, and talk about those fears, what better way to shake them up a bit? Or make sure they get a bit of drama in their lives by making up a few stories ....
Sorry, but equip your kids with the right values, show them your support no matter what, have the attitude .... Its out there ... No doubt you'll have a go, we all did (well most of us)... but its a bloody stupid thing to do and life has more meaning with out them.... And you might end up with kids who don't stray.... Too far.... For too long... But no doubt they will, with either drugs or alcohol at some stage....
Just take a pinch of salt with the words of a twelve year old...they are just bloody kids, finding their way, exploring what pushes your buttons and others too... Take them too seriously and you could end up loosing friends.[/QUOTE]
and that my darling can be as painfull as loosing one of your family..
