Looks like a quiet night’s shopping for you and I then bubzie. :p

You might also bump into the odd janitor with a bucket.

This is exactly the shop we need in Canberra. Erm…please someone get me a bucket. Better yet a length of rope!

I have an invite I probably won’t use – if anyone wants it, you can reach me via the link in the Wotz On thread.

woohoo.

my wife dipped out. she has decided that a night out with the girls is far better, and has just stamped my leave pass for the sim challenge tonight. yes, yes i know, it isn’t the 11th, but it looks like i am on baby sitting duties on the 11th…

and possibly other nights as well.

she knows how I feel about DFO, about the same as christmas shopping, being chief pram pusher and carrier of all manner of sh!t, dragged from store to store and trying to placate bored, tired, screaming kids, while she marvels at how good item of clothing will look on her…

it never matches up for her after she buys it.

I always decline to voice an opinion. we don’t have a dog house, but there is the cat enclosure…

I want my freebie gift.

It’ll be a voucher. Spend $500 at a shop, get 5% off… you bet.

@ Mick, if you don’t get a better offer, I’m only going for JB Hi Fi and the book shop. I don’t mind giving my pass to someone else when I exit, I doubt I’d be in there for long.

hehe, actually I was thinking of a particular person! No offence to the rest.

I want my freebie gift.

I’m with you Scootergal. Yawn. I’ll get more entertainment from seeing the photos in the city news of all the bores getting frocked up and posing for the cameras.

If anyone has a spare ticket, can you maybe let me know? I got one, but stupidly assumed they were doubles.

Duh 🙂

Well yippee. More giordano and scooter stores.

Mia80 – you sound like you know what you’re talking about…tutt tutt off now

Man this is going to be a real challenge for Bogan Depot to keep it’s limited clientele.
All Canberra needs now is an Ikea and we are a trashy southern Sydney burb.
YAY!

Fair enough if you’re not interested in shopping. Neither is my husband – which is why I have to shop you see, so that he has clothes to wear ;o)

I think I can resist for a few years. I have only been to Brand Depot once, about 6 months ago, and it was looking pretty sorry then – lots of empty shops. They have been promoting Tuesday (I think)as pensioners day, free coffee, sing along with the Silver Baron whoever he might be. Desparate. On the plus side, there was a hell of a lot of parking space outside.

“Don’t miss out on the hottest invitation in town restricted to the first 3,000 people, click to RSVP here”

Hottest invitation?! Bah. It’s a big shop.

Meh, care factor?

I hate shopping – though I s’pose this may be because I never get to buy more than the essentials, what with rent being so ridiculously high . . .

I certainly would not bother to travel to either of these places.

All the places have been filled!

hehehe

At least it guarantees an explosive start to these small businesses operations.

Mr Snow does have free reign at the airport and DFO is a big thorn in the Snowtown-worl-domination-masterplan….

scootergal….will you marry me? 🙂

Has anybody informed the Chaser yet ?

Be very careful, DFO marketers. You will get slammed as soon as anyone here has been there I suspect! Wrong target audience altogether most likely!

Another way for the stupid to be separated from their money.

sexynotsmart8:12 pm 11 Aug 08

Well, I’m not usually doing much on a Thursday night. So what the hell, I just used the RSVP link. I wonder what colour the VIP lanyard will be?

Am I the only female who doesn’t really get excited at more shops, or shopping? Oh well, good on them for more crazy mass consumption of stuff we don’t need. I’ll check it out once (like I did with brand depot) and probably not give it another thought.

HAHAHA! I just realized that!! 😀

Seriously, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!! *squee*

Wallets?!

Too late.

Reminds me of the South Park episode when Walmart opens a store in town:

Cartman: Dude, check it out! “Time Cop” on DVD. Three copies for eighteen bucks!
Kyle: Why the hell would you want three copies of the same movie?
Cartman: Because one copy is nine ninety-eight! But this way you save like twenty bucks!
Kyle: You only need one copy, r-tard!
Cartman: Okay, fine, dumb ass, YOU go ahead and buy one copy for nine ninety-eight!
Kyle: Okay, fine, I will! (grabs a copy) Huh, wait a minute! I don’t even want ONE copy of Time Cop! (puts it back)
Cartman: Dude, you can’t shop for crap

dragonflygal4:43 pm 11 Aug 08

Can’t wait! DFO has a lot of decent shops – I hope we don’t just get the merchandise that doesn’t sell in the bigger ones though!

I wonder how long it will be until Brand Depot closes down?

Yes, yes, yes…

no, no, no, no, no…..

and my wife rings me now.

damn it!
