As any Peter Weir fan would know, ANZAC Day is the most revered day on the Australian calendar (sorry, Search for Harold Holt Day). But not many of us can relate to the time-worn faces of the parade, or imagine the sheer tragic horror that is war. I have always respected our veterans, but have never felt ‘close’ to them.
When you walk into a bar and start scanning the room, mingling and meeting people, there are so many factors that can effect what makes a person attractive or not, and that will ultimately effect whether you’ll remain chatting up the person in front of you or walk away to find somebody better.
Some people may feel that going out partying for ANZAC Day might be disrespectful to the men and women who died fighting in war serving our country. Yes, many died in the various wars Australia (and New Zealand for that matter) have fought in over the years and that’s terrible, and businesses close for a day just so we can pay our respects to them.
Drinking is always a good idea, says everyone before the hangover kicks in. Yet we always seem to forget that drinking before working the next day is NEVER a good idea. But, we’ve all been there. At the time, work seems so far away and a fun night out sounds more enticing. That is, until morning arrives and we have to drag ourselves to work feeling, looking and smelling like shit.
Today we commence our new series of articles focusing of the inner workings of the bar and nightclub business. Anything from marketing to reaching your target audience, bar marketing wiz Nick Fosberg can lead you the way to success. A must see for anyone in the bar/nightclub business or for anyone considering opening a bar/nightclub of your very own.
Let’s not delude ourselves, we all know binge drinking will never be good for your health, nor will it ever be good for your waistline; but we also know this is not going to stop you (or me for that matter). However, there are a number of things you can do to reduce the effects of binge drinking on your health and weight, regardless of whether you do it every weekend, or once a month.
You’re on a night out having fun with the girls. You’re looking good and you feel like you could have any guy you want. Ooh, that’s a cute ass, you’re thinking about the hottie standing at the bar. Then he turns around and BAM, there’s something about his outfit that has you thinking, ugh, what a douche! I’ve gathered my personal favourites of things that guys should not wear on a night out.
It’s a Saturday night and you’re looking fine, feeling fine and wanting some arm candy for the night. Your girlfriends and you have just finished a premix cosmopolitan frozen cocktail box and are ready to hit the town; you’re at the stage where you can’t tell the difference between your left and right hand and your nose… well, let’s just say you can’t feel that or any other parts of your extremities.
There’s no denying it, Sydney is a very expensive place for a night out. Sydney is considered the third most expensive city in the world. This is based on ‘cost of living’, but hey, what’s living without going out.
So how can you save some cash while avoiding options like drinking goon in a random park?
How friggin’ annoying is it when you’re out in town trying to have an awesome night, drinking away, then you feel a vibration and noise from your pocket, and it’s your mobile telling you that its battery is “critically low”? Not only can’t you show your friends that funny video on YouTube you’ve been dying to show them or take selfies, but you might not be able to call a taxi to get home?
