Just thank the lord that cars don't run on beer.

You? A poser? Well I never! :)

Reminds me of a bar in England (Cheltenham so not a major city!) me and the OH walked into Apres and ordered two pints of Peroni, the guy put them on the bar and said that'll be £9 please, OH just turned around and walked out, muttering how disgusting it was that they wanted £4.50 a pint! I sheepishly followed :lol:.

The scene is set .It's the Belgian Beer Cafe in the centre of Brisbane. I'm out with the missus,she requests a Stella (330 mil),i opt for a Hoegaarden(500 mil) and the price comes to a whopping $23 :eek::eek:This equated to $7 for the Stella and $16 f@rkers for the Hoegaarden ...which by the way aint even a pint's worth :ohmy:The frightening thing was though ,punters were queuing up to pay these prices:eek:.Guess i'm in the wrong job then !:(

Guess who won't be paying another visit for a very, very long time :rolleyes:

Can anyone out there beat that ........(unfortunately):lol:

I suppose the first(and only) round was paid for by the missus:sneaky:

The well dressed blokes on the doors there are not bouncers, they're finance brokers, who will sort you our with some payment terms in preparation for you blowing most of your weeks salary on a round of tiny wee goblets of beer!

The place is full of pretentious tossers as well.

the staff walk around as if they own the place.the same can be said for a certain brewery in Freo.
