“Echo”

I was waiting for it!

It's sinking in to me, easy to say while the pubs are closed though.

I think moderation will be my thing going forward whereas before it would get to 3:45 on a Wednesday arvo and I'd say to myself "F*** it, I'm going to the pub"

Like a moth to a flame mate.

And at the end of the day, tins & echoes are great but there’s no beating draught beer off the tap.

That would be a huge mistake IMO.

Hence why I said “start” opening up.
Will be only a few routes to start with and then slowly ramp it up. The airlines are planning for 60% by Christmas

What gets me is that I can sit at home with a box and pretty much demolish it in an afternoon and still cook a BBQ yet if I go to the pub, sometimes I'll only be between 7-10 pints deep, have the squints and I'll be glowing, how does tap beer slap you about more than cans or stubbies?

I wouldn't think my BPH rate would be much higher, I know that schooners do more damage to me than anything.

I know I drink pints far quicker than stubbies.

I actually think I've grown up and the penny has dropped, if all goes according to plan by the time I get paid again I will have wiped out 3 nagging debts and chewed a fair way into another, it's given me some inspiration.

We now have a new rule at home, we can have a drink on a school night if we want, but we have to walk to get it, it's a 6km round trip to the nearest beer shop.

Bigger gulps I guess due to it being a glass.

Any premier that relaxes the restrictions without making it available for everyone will be voted out and I think they know that and will not allow it.

They don't have to lift the restrictions to get the hubs going.

Yes they do, unless the governments consider the travel essential you aren't crossing any borders at the moment.

You think they'll call AFL/NRL essential travel? I don't.

Not every state has that rule.
EG: Anyone is free to go into victoria at the moment, they just need to sit down for 14 days after doing.

A lesson for the kids.

By not drinking or going out to dinner we saved $17k in 10 months before all this iso kicked off.

Obviously there is associated costs with those two things such as taxi to get home etc etc but it made such a massive difference to our bank account.

That's over $400 a week.

Not cheap being the owner of a football club...lots of wining and dining
