I don't eat any seafood, can't stand the stuff. The Bal was not seedy, bloody rough & ready clientele but not a seedy establishment, quite modern by most standards. Buggered now though. Been turned into a yuppy restaurant and coffee shop and serves overpriced beer in undersized glasses.

Your ancesters would be turning over in their graves at your piscine rejection.

To hijack my own thread...

It used to be a run down - but decent - workers pub. Then it was yuppified, but at least it had really good microbrewery beer.

Last time I was there, the microbrewery was gone, and it was just plain awful yuppifiedness, in need of another reno job.

Funniest thread for ages!

Might be funnier if we discussed the role of religion in politics though. I read somewhere that most Americans would vote for a black politician (well, they just did), most vote for a woman, and even a gay pollie could get in.

But an atheist pollie in the US of A? Not a hope in hell. Not that the atheist would believe there was a hell ;-)

Could Australia vote in an atheist pollie?

The owners just need to chuck out the coffee shop, install a public bar once again, and serve full measures at reasonable price. Then if they are suitably humble and apologetic, the big drinking, big spending locals might just return.

Quite a few other inner suburban pubs got delusions of grandeur and either went bankrupt, or find they have to spend a couple of million every few years refreshing the place and changing the image to retain the fickle yuppie trade.

You could fire automatic shotguns in some of them now without doing harm in what used to be their busiest periods.

It would appear that some followers of the FSM have difficulty in comprehending the use of Brother in a genderless connotation.

Henceforth the use of "Brother" will cease and "Comrade" will be used instead.

Comrade Isuzurover,As I do not use fish, the FSM performs the ceremony of the loaves and pork chops.

The FSM must have gone away for the weekend. Even deities need a break once in a while...

The FSM has probably gone 4x4ing

So can i declare motorsport a religion and Murray Walker God of said religion?

Or does having Murray Walker a living person mean he cant be a God? Maybe Barry Sheen could be in charge.

The Church of Brock exists between us. He drove to the top of the mountain on the 7th day and thought it was good.

I think that motor sport has all the important prerequisites to qualify as a religion.

There are inexplicable divisions into denominations, each with its own sacred symbols like lions or blue ovals.

The adherents to each of the denominations are absolutely convinced of the superiority of their denomination and that conviction is based purely on faith with absolutely no regard for empirical evidence.

Not only that, but most of the important rituals are practised on the Sabbath.

Given those similarities to other religions, I can only conclude that motor sport must be a religion.
