Yep great day/night - had so much fun I had no idea it was so late by the time we went for food (the second time). Lovely bunch of people this Melbourne lot :-)
Yes ... very pleasant indeed ... and as a bonus I think we solved all the world's problems.
I don't know Nerb. It was in Little Bourke Street amid Chinatown. Ring a bell? Bare floorboards, billiard table and they DO NOT SELL ANYTHING HOT - NO coffee, tea, or chocolate.
It was right next door to the Exford Hotel, which was very excellent as well. The barman was from Leeds.

You missed out on a good day/night Nerb
Cheers but I got pissed in sympathy with youse anyway. Latest reds from the wine club having just arrived and Mrs Nerb having steaks on the grill ....
I was confusing the Exmouth with the Exford. Presumably "Exmouth" is a cafe/bar at the Exford? It wasn't so long ago that the pool room there was the place to score a bag, allegedly.
Australia is the best country in the world, & possibly the universe!
This standard piece of jingoism is usually followed by Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi, a trip to a tattooist to have the Sthn Cross etched on one's shoulder blade, and a call to arms whenever those nasty Lebos invade Cronulla
My reply to your hollow Yank-style nationalism, chris, would be "for what?"
