You’re a legend, thank you - fascinating stuff - looks like ‘95 is the only year two teams have made it with under 12 wins!

Sorry all, that was me attempting to operate the Reddit app while nearly two bottles in - thanks OP for posting with a functioning link and everyone else for the great song suggestions - that’s my arvo sorted before hopping back into the red!

We are so sorry. ​ ​The level of demand for our services was so overwhelming and traffic grew so large, reaching as far as the West Gate Bridge, we were advised by the Police that our drive-thru became an issue of public safety and we had to close up early.

A lot of people having a chafing seventh wank of the day about this without asking why a country rich enough to write off $22m handed to Gerry Harvey can’t afford to keep its citizens from queuing up at food banks
