Fitzroy history – from Punters Club to Bimbo Deluxe
As the SLV notes state, The Punters Club was a hotel that was established 1987 as a live music venue; it closed down in 2002. It’s now the home of cheap good pizza (weeknights) and brawling bogans (Friday and Saturday nights, usually about 2am as they leave the venue).

lunch at Sambal Malaysia, Victoria St Carlton
Sambal Malaysia is a new place that opened only a few weeks ago. They do excellent noodles and rice, all freshly made to order. I had the char kuey teow first time I went (unfortunately without my camera) but was back a few days later for the ‘me sing’ noodles with lots of prawns and Chinese sausage. Everything is new and clean and I feel that the quality of the food is better than that from nearby competitors.…

goodbye Lagom, hello Kodiak
I’d forgotten to follow up on confirming whether Bar Lagom had closed, but the recent changing of the sign to ‘The Kodiak Club’ is self evident. There’s a new cocktail list in the window. Will the much missed Ginger bar finally have a suitable successor?

keep your stupidity to yourself
OMG, WTF and LOL. I am overdosing on interactions with stupid people at the moment. Two in one day yesterday necessitated some venting.
First I got an email from ‘Clarence’ from a marketing agency asking for my advertising rates. Listen dude, I don’t accept advertising, I’ve written about this at length and if you had bothered to find out anything about Fitzroyalty you should have seen this before contacting me.
If you had read my thoughts on the decline and hopeful failure of the advertising business model then you would not have contacted me at all because it’s a waste of your time and mine.…
talent
Call me cynical, but if you spend more time on your own work rather than pasting over that of others, then maybe you’d be getting somewhere. But you’re not serious and no one believes you.
