hmm, d'ya think someone is a Buffy fan?
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

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?

Having personally brought the Un-American thread to an untimely demise, it is up to me to raise a new topic.
…having exhausted the subject of convenience stores …
An easily exhausted subject, I'll grant you.
Excuse me. I believe that's

In the States they are having hurricanes and elections. Surely, there must be some distinction between the two.

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.'
That's all there is.
OTOH I am comforted by a 24 hour supermarket with milk (and everything else) at supermarket prices
Are there any in Adelaide (as opposed to the larger country towns)?
OK technically it's not a supermarket. When they wrote the legislation lifting the trading hour limitation on stores that were not supermarkets, there was this one Coles Supermarket that came in some 10 sqft floor area below the definition. So it went 24/7. It may not have the full brand range of regular Coles supers, but what it does have is at Coles prices.

Hey guys. Do we have anyone currently in the UK? Or Europe? I have more free time than I thought this semester and thought I might go traveling.
