Cursed are the casual workers who get stuck with having to work every frigging weekend while the boss is at home raking in the cash watching the cricket thinking "Gee… this 7 day trading is really paying off".
* Increases consumerism by giving you more "opportunity" to buy crap. You can work inhumane hours and still buy crap!
* Increases the time that shops are open (more elec bills, wages, etc)
* Decreases "quiet time"
* Allows people to be less organised (ah, I’ll keep watching telly and buy it tomorrow)
* etc.
* means you can eat when the cupboard is bare and it is sunday. rather than starving and waiting till monday.
what am i talking about! i cant afford food no matter what day it is!

Employs more people at a higher rate of pay (weekends are penalty rates remember). This in turn promotes spending which bolsters the economy, which then means more people can buy Prados.. oh fsck.. I see what you mean!
😛
Seriously though, I can deal with 8:00-20:00 shopping, but with no supermarkets open on Sunday it means I am forced to pay more for takeaways rather than buy good, wholesome bulk amounts of chocolate.

I just can’t make a serious point can I?
STUART: Here is one possibility (not a definitive answer, but written as such):
Nope. I can see your dilemma. The things on the tip of your tounge are not what is truly inside. The things on the tip of your tounge are the things that have been placed there by Marketers, Economists, etc. You start talking. These things come out. Once you’ve said all of them, then the true knowlege that is inside can come out and PRESTO! You get to the point in the sentence where you go… "Hang on, I’m starting to contradict myself here…".
No, you’re not contradicting yourself. You’re contradicting your "indoctrinated opinion" which is just a shell that someone has wrapped over your true opinion. You’re not contradicting yourself. The indoctrinated opinions are contradicting your true self.
TINA: You eat?
That comming from a guy who just went down to Coles at 11am on a Sunday… Like all other humans, I’m only human.
Bastard!
Dude, you should see the vineyards over here! Fscking insane! Imagine Mildura tipped on it’s side.. the vines are SOOO steep!!
Dude! I got paid to be a model last night! $25 an hour. It was cool. Plus, I got to hang out with some arty types, including probably Australia’s best photographer. He worked with Wok at Perry Hills from 4-6, but I was at work. Wok and I modeled from 8-10, but he wasn’t photographing us, But there were some great artists painting/drawing us. It felt so cool! And not just cause we were starkers. The Photographer (George) sells his photo’s for anywhere up to $30K. He’s good. I saw some of his ones of Wok and they were amazing. Some of hte guys there said you could give him a busted arse boring piece of concrete and he could make it look great.
(Cannon EOS 1, displaying on a thin as fck Apple laptop using one of their Cinema displays to show the photo’s. The display travels in it’s original foam/carboard box and it’s been retaped 48 times this year… he travels HEAPS. The rest goes in a Pelican case the size of a suitcase.)
So there. Tell everyone your mate’s a model… especially the nice girls.
Just remember I knew you before you became a star 😛
Hang on, none of this helps me score with the models!! Maybe you could send me some of the "roadie" chicks he employs to load the van? 😛
I’ve modelled before too you know? Yeah, a few years ago now..
It was a scale model FA-18 😛
The funny thing is that it was a "partner" posing session. So that meant… yep… Me naked with a naked chick in front of people.
I’d already scorred with said model. According to her "We used to fuck" (Quote was delivered at 11pm in O’Malleys to one of my former workmates just after I got back from OS). But, I hadn’t modelled then. And she’s got a new fella. So, what I’m trying to say, in short, is:
I’M GOING BACKWARDS DUDE! For most people, "partner" nude modelling would open doors. Not for me. Closes. Fuck. Maybe I should do all the things that guarantee you WON’T have an intimate encounter with a lovely lady, cause doing the right things doesn’t fucking work for me.
Cunts.
Oh, dude didn’t have roadies or groupies. Just tech gear. But one of the other artists has a daughter. We’re going for a ride later today, after I have a nap, if she’s still around.
Mmm.. ride.. I am in the hills.. heading towards worser and worser hills in the Ardennes. Very nice riding in Luxembourg.
Um, women = nil for me right now. Care factor is also nil so it cancels out nicely.
Been getting on the piss with some Aussie and Dutch dudes in Luxembourg City..
