New Labor Club targeting students

You are correct vg, civic would not be a maze for an overseas visitor, no more than a quick stroll around Nara (JP) would be for you.

No emotions but 2 FFS in one post and one “god help me”

Sounds like you need to walk down to civic Labor Club for a cheap, crisp, clean, cold beer.

🙂

“but you suggest an overseas student after a couple of coldies, should be right to get through Civic, around building sites and then navigate the labyrinth that is the ANU……umm OK”

If they could walk there I’m sure its not beyond them to walk home. Would you like someone to hold their hand? I stand by the soft remark. If you can’t be arsed to walk the entire 20 mins it takes to get from one side of the ANU to the centre of Civic for a cheap beer then you are soft, very soft.

It’s Civic we’re talking about here, not a maze. God help me!

No emotions, just shock at what students have become. Its an extra 2 mins past Mooseheads FFS. Students don’t have trouble walking there do they?

Asian and Middle East Students come from a variety of backgrounds, drinking and non drinking, which was not my point. Finding Civic was not an issue either.

It was the “very, very soft, poor little petals” comment that made me want to comment.

After talking with a lot of students about their life at home “very, very soft, poor little petals” just doesn’t seem to fit.
Most are not strangers to walking long distances, or beggars, or violence, or a’holes.

Most CANBERRA people cannot find their way around the ANU, but you suggest an overseas student after a couple of coldies, should be right to get through Civic, around building sites and then navigate the labyrinth that is the ANU……umm OK.

I am sure you are too busy at work to post……your emotions don’t follow you home?

Yes, Civic is terribly hard to find. I’m guessing the students from Asia and the middle East may have religious backgrounds that don’t involve them drinking but to say that Civic is too far from the ANU is ridiculous.

And I don’t post when I’m at work, too busy

If Civic is ‘too far away’ from one side of the ANU Campus then students, and the yoof of today, are very, very soft. Poor little petals

A lot of the ANU students are from interstate or overseas, with little knowledge of Canberra.

Some of the backgrounds of the students from Asia and the Middle East may suggest they are a little more than “poor little petals” VG

The Junkies that hang around the area begging (Police problem) would be a good reason not to suggest to any overseas/interstate students that they bypass all the other good bars to get to the Labor Club.

Bad shift VG?

Why walk past perfectly good bars to go the Labor Club?

(if not for the cheap beer and the cheap food)

Thanks for the info Kerces!

Whilst my student days are well over a decade behind me, knowing another potentially nice cheap place to duck into for a cold beer on my trips into civic never goes astray!

Seems to draw a decent (public service) crowd for lunches Mon-Fri.

is it tiny – the bookshop wasn’t that big?

about the belco one, that was – the civic one will find it harder to get the same kind of customers.

It’s a good place if your stuck in belco after 2am and can pass the prying eyes of security.

I went there a couple of months ago… the tap beer tasted great… really cold and crisp. The food looked really quality and from all acounts it was.
