I guarantee you, all the Green voting Uni students are living off 2 minute noodles.

I’m hooked ……yes aware of the heart issues………do we have a coffee thread on Blitz ?
You’re forgetting the other main diet staple there.
Free beer from student associations.
maybe we would have won a flag in the past 20 years if the players drank more Blend 43
Our performance suggests they’ve only had access to international roast.

We’re probably sponsored by Ovaltine
I bet that still doesn’t happen.
Anyone who went to University in the 1970s would remember the Mr University contests that revolved around drining lots of beer and eating disgusting amounts of all sorts of things. At Uni Melb, it was always won by a Chemical Engineer, and most famous was the guy who would eat his own vomit.
Those were the days.
I feel sick after typing that.
maybe that’s how we can incentivise players next season
win = can go to your fav cafe
loss by <20 = 7eleven or maccas only
loss by 21-40 = moccona
loss by 41+ = warm tap water

Free beer and bbq Tuesdays with bands like You Am I and The Meanies playing outside in the early 90’s. Kennett killed all that dead in a year. Walk through the Union outdoor now on a sunny Tuesday and you hear Laurence Fishburne’s immortal line from Event Horizon echoing through the place.

Ha! Free beer!
What do you think this is? 1990?
Student associations don’t have money to be giving away free beer…… and there is no way Universities would allow student associations to be giving away alcohol, in this day and age with their healthy eating policies.

They were still doing free beer at events when I was an undergrad (early 2010s).
And I could swear I saw emails when doing my PhD about student associations putting on a bar tab.
DECAF too.

You rescinded on that rant about leaving this thread once and for all very quickly.

Running up and down the Redmond Barry building and being able to keep it down.
Prosh Week had a few interesting contests.
Mate of mine would often stay late at uni and on one occasion, they had a very formative Ol’ 55 out in North Court playing, and on another they were filming the movie Petersen with Jack Thompson and they did the scene there where Jack porked Belinda Giblin for some liberating reason or other.
Pete and Dud did a show there in October '71 on their Behind the Fridge tour, and Wilson Hall was packed to double capacity. They had to take out all the seating to accommodate the crowd. Tickets $1 a pop.
The Union Building is all concession stalls now. It used to be a big cafeteria.

Misquote. Message was to the effect “Hi, dropped in to tell the thread what I thought of it. And done, Bye! (See you later)” Also, rant is so pejorative. It was adding to the discourse.
Great question. Lets take that discussion to the Australian Politics thread, not the coffee thread. Oh… wait… Bye!
