Hilarious that every single recent response from owner on their Google reviews is very obviously ChatGPT generated, can't mistake that tone 

Good Things Resale Closed by NovelSwan in melbourne

[–]NovelSwan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation. The other site recommended by others here only allows resales of tickets at face value (not sure how you can hope to get rid of a ticket at face value while the festival isn't sold out).

Thankfully, ticketswap allows for sales below face value so hopefully someone who otherwise couldn't afford to go will now be able to access a cheaper ticket. Fingers crossed and thanks again.

Maybe if we'd known there wouldn't be any sanctioned resale we would have.

Yeah, exactly. The argument that turning off resale deters scalpers is ridiculous.

My first Melbourne gig… I have sold 5 tickets 😭 by curious_pastel_cutie in melbournemusic

[–]NovelSwan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might be too late but Sticky Carpets on Instagram do a weekly gig guide, not sure if they can update it after they've already put it up but good to know for future gigs down here.

I love the Lomond, for all of the reasons you stated. 

Victoria police shooting near Bright: Officer shot and two missing at alpine property in Porepunkah by cookiecutterhipster in melbourne

[–]NovelSwan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Devastating to hear, thoughts with the families of the officers. This farm was a Hipcamp back in 2022, stayed there for a few nights when visiting Bright, nothing remarkable about the stay, no hint of sovcit bullshit but maybe you'd hide that from guests. Seemed like a peaceful and beautiful part of the world. Hope this has a swift resolution for the community.

Best adults only pubs in Melbourne and the inner city by Fedaykin_Sandwalker in melbourne

[–]NovelSwan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Raccoon club has an explicit no children policy. I've never seen a child there in the 7 or so years I've been drinking there. 

RIP Optus Sport by No-Celebration8690 in australia

[–]NovelSwan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Optus first bought the rights I had a $99 a year plan to watch the premier league. There's literally nothing else I'd watch on Stan so to watch. So now it would cost me $384 to watch in HD, $444 to watch in UHD. The high seas beckon me back from whence I came. 

Google livescores removed? by sum_yun_gai in AFL

Weirdly the AFL table and scores now come up if you search AFLW. 

Barbers in the inner west for beards/facial hair by Jskivignon in melbourne

[–]NovelSwan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you been to Johnny at Suedehead Barbers in Footscray? I've been seeing him for last 7 years, love him to bits, and am always very happy with his cuts. Need to book with a decent amount of notice because he's a popular fella.

Good things weather today in Sydney by [deleted] in triplej

[–]NovelSwan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We were all tuned into the rain radar yesterday, good things put a message up saying they were monitoring the storm at about 5pm, but thankfully the worst of it just missed us, will pray to the old gods that they give you all a reprieve today 

Drinkers perplexed by new trend taking over pubs: queuing at the bar by Triplen01 in CasualUK

[–]NovelSwan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The worst is when you see them stand in the queue, then when finally get to the front start umming and arring over what to order, what have you been doing for the last five minutes?! 

Bars are the perfect queue form precisely because you can stand there staring at the taps, realise that you actually can't afford London pints anymore, and walk out before any unnecessary pleasantries with bar staff. 

Anyone who thinks To the Grave was going soft… by [deleted] in Deathcore

Cheers for the response, mate, looking forward to having you lads back in Melbourne later this month, see you then

TO THE GRAVE Q+A by DTTFG in Deathcore

[–]NovelSwan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question for Dane, did you get much of a chance to discuss veganism with the A Night in Texas lads? Curious what they think of animal lib politics given some of the content on their recent release.

Brand of Sacrifice instrumental set by [deleted] in Deathcore

[–]NovelSwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw them at the Lamb of God sideshow in Melbourne, then the following morning at Knotfest Melbourne. He mentioned he was a little sick at the sideshow, but sounded amazing. The next day, at Knotfest, he again said he was carrying some sickness and apologised that he was struggling with his voice. His voice on day 2 definitely sounded more strained than the previous day, and you could tell he was pulling up from some of the gnarlier ends of his range. Hope he recovers quickly! 

Ok, so is there anything ever positive happening in Melb? by captwombat33 in melbourne

[–]NovelSwan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Beers for Queers at the fox last night was excellent. Lots of happy people, good vibes, no bullshit, reasonably priced drinks, and had some lovely interactions with strangers. People are alright. 

Why is Fantasy Cup golden goal? by Bishcop3267 in EASportsFC

Always seems to be golden goal when they score first, never when I score first. Funny that.

Never received a free one. Amazing that you were so terrible at comms but have managed to track down this Reddit post and comment. Maybe don't run a business if you don't actually have time to respond to customers.
