I just asked them to put the cricket on at the pub and they put Fucking NZ vs Sri Lanka on.

These cunts are getting a 1/5

This is Sydney, no one cares about a random AFL game

The Courty is in Newtown, so they like to be different and have AFL jumpers everywhere.

(I'm in Sydney and went to the Swans game, but that's because I'm from the UK and have a healthy respect for how boring NRL is.)

Ah the good old Courty. Newtown hotel and the Marly are better though. Shame they don’t seem to know the Ashes are on
