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.........

But there's no one in them as everyone in Australia goes to bed before 9pm (allegedly) :lol:

Cairns stays open pretty late in a desperate grasp for that last tourist dollar but there isn't a sniff of a decent club. When we lived in Sydney (the Rocks) we couldn't get a drink anywhere after 10.30pm on week nights! I miss the nightlife of London :thumbdown:

You've not been to the Squeeze Club then ? It's open till 3:00am Friday and Saturday nights out here in sleepy Redlands. Lord knows what Brisbane City has open till late (or the wee hours).

I believe it's a fact that you and the cab driver couldn't find them ;):p

Hopefully a young un who lives in Sydney can come and help you out...

It was a bit tongue in cheek ;) ... I have little motivation to go out on the town anyway, too expensive and a logistical nightmare to get home ... sigh ... getting older ...

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.

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.

12 year old daughters...

Know how to manipulate their parents, set them up and prey on their biggest fears.

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..
