I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.' That's all there is.

I like 7-11's actually, it's comforting to know there's somewhere you can go to buy milk at 3 in the morning. Angus G "All Ogle, No Cash -- It's Not Just Annoying, It's Un-American" Aug 26, 2004 5:16:55 am PDT

why was a 7-11 open at 3 in the morning? (following Liese)

OTOH I am comforted by a 24 hour supermarket with milk (and everything else) at supermarket prices

Um, 7-11's are open 24 Hours! (Although presumably at one time they weren't.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Are there any in Adelaide (as opposed to the larger country towns)? I know Bi-Lo had two or three 24 hour suburban supermarkets but they've changed to midnight closing.

I know I'm going to kick myself when I see the answer but; who's "pat the rat" and from where would I know him/her?

I don't think people in Australia really think of 7-11 as a dining solution per se

They do in Dogs In Space

7-11 over here has been rebranded Budgens, but they were a lifesaver during my raving days - there's a window between 1am and 3am where the only place you can buy any food at all on the west side of Brighton is 7-11. I spent many an happy hour in there, swaying slightly trying to focus on food packaging...

Ha yes I should have added "with the important exception of people on drugs".

I always wondered if that was an accurate portrait of Melbourne life.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

In Bern, the latenight weaving-on-queue place is Freschetta's, which is a sort of 24-7 mini-grocery that has actually pastries and a deli-counter where you can have real sandwiches built. I think it is more expensive than 7-11, but I still haven't figured out the currency. A good sandwich, great fresh coffee and a bunch of grapes go for a little over ten francs. Like eight or nine US bux?
