I think Manly could’ve rolled the Storm, a bit of a style makes fights deal, not sure on Roosters.

Conversation with Mrs Aardvark

Me : $120 FFS, let's get a cab
Mrs : (After 3 minutes in the Valley cab line) let's pay the fucking $120, this is the apocalypse
Me: Yes, I concur

haha fucking hell. i know the feeling of just wanting to get the fuck out of the valley, but surprised you didn't just go nurse a beer somewhere for an hour at those prices.

my old trick re valley cab lines (a long time before ubers etc) was to avoid them entirely.. walk a few blocks into new farm, stand outside random house, and call a cab to that address. worked really well.

Yeah would use both those tactics pre child but babysitters and all that. That night was particularly chaotic and I think in that three minutes we saw multiple fights, multiple projectile vomits, someone jump on to the bonnet of the only cab that showed up and someone lie on the road in front of the line. Was one of those valley nights where you need a 360 degree neck to ensure your own safety

I think it was so chaotic cabs were completely avoiding the area

Yes we have our own bullshit but it's ours.

By all means post a link but don't just paste PJ Mcfuckknuckles from whatever forum or podcast unhinged opinion in here verbatim. It kills the vibe and makes me sad.

Otherwise I have no idea what teams you lads are on about
