Here is a funny email a mate sent me about his recent trip past the recently burnt down Victory Hotel in Brisbane:

I just went for a walk through the city and went past the burnt out shell of the ‘iconic’ Vic.

There were police cars outside with police milling about and crowds of men wearing fluoro. I had a peak inside (couldn’t resist) but couldn’t really see much, It looked like a black pit in there. The smell coming off the place was terrible too, like a hundred burning tires in an open sewer.

I walked off a little bit, turned around and thought….

“So what’s changed?”
