Time seems to go so fast in the new trump world, shit that happened a week ago seems like months.
It's like so many horrible things happen in quick succession that you think they're more spread out than they actually are.

I'm pretty sure there's more than just you, jubbe, jintor, fantastopotamus and me from Australia in this thread
"I hope Exogeni learned their lesson."
"They didn't."
The dead certainty in Alex's voice made me crack up.

I suppose you do come from that terrible journalistic enclave, The Guardian.
People outside Ireland think that the music video for Galway Girl is totally fake cultural appropriation by Ed but it's a pretty literal example of a normal night out in Galway or Sligo. Well, apart from the bit where you pick up Saoirse Ronan and she brings you back to her place to stare out at the ocean.
Tho I suppose the fake Irish bars are the ones drenched with green lighting and Celtic jerseys and tri colours everywhere. If I'm overseas I tend to not want to go to someone's facsimile of what's at home so I mightn't have too much experience with low grade Irish pubs.
I just wish there was a restaurant chain that served potato cakes and bacon and cabbage meals, because Irish food is bizarre in a way that will probably confuse people. And that would be funny.
K-pop stuff. Two idols (Hyuna and E'Dawn) announced they were dating a few months ago, some fans got pissy about it (harassment, threats, etc.). Fast forward to about an hour ago and the company announced they dropped both of them, Hyuna was their top earning artist and E'Dawn was part of one of their top groups. Fans are pissed, their stock price has dropped 8%, and I don't see why anyone would want to work with them after this.
I think you're missing the point in that nothing they serve in an outback steakhouse resembles Australian cuisine.
So it would be Irish themed food that resembles nothing like what they serve in Ireland.
More like K-pop and idol fans are fucking psychotic.
It would be like if gamergate dictates what happens in the gaming industry- wait a minute.

The annoying metal aliens hiding among us have finally been discovered and those government agents are trying to hide the truth!
But that's the point, the boiled bacon would become deli sliced ham and the cabbage would become spinach or something. And there'd be waitresses and waiters with exclusively red hair dressed as leprechauns. And every meal would come with a glass of Guiness straight from a can. You couldn't even order water if you wanted to.
God, I should stop or I'll give away all my good ideas.
Yeah, it's always been one of my biggest issues with K/J-pop, and it's kinda worrying that I'm starting to see the same behavior in a lot of the younger fans that are jumping in with BTS.
I mean Australian cuisine doesn't really have an identity, so the idea of an Australian themed restaurant doesn't really make sense to begin with. Australian cafes are popping up overseas, which makes far more sense.
I like your thinking, only songs where he's the solo artist, none of that good 80s U2 shit. I'd play the Metallica version of Whiskey in the Jar and not the Thin Lizzy one just to fuck with people. They don't deserve good music if they come to my restaurant.
When it was someone's birthday I'd have the lights dim and make an LED rainbow and then wheel in a little pot of gold foil chocolates. But that'd cost the parents a tenner extra.
Just fill the menu with meat pies, sausage rolls and halal snack packs.
Also I'm working my way through the rest of season 6 of Arrow and holy shit at the fuckery that's been going on. This Quentin storyline is fucking creepy...
This tracks, Kid Rock probably thinks Outback is fine dining.
Some wan from the homeplace who move to Sydney a few years back came home a few months ago for her wedding and smuggled in a truck load of Tim Tams.
They're just fuckin Penguin bars. I mean, I think they're literally just repackaged Penguin bars.
Oh this is just not true though.
Penguin bars used to be so good but I swear they changed them. Now they're way too sweet.
