Superthread L. No honour.

Supabarn the contact you need to speak with is Joanna Doyle. She does ranging for their Sydney + ACT stores. Get your Sutho guy/girl onto her. ALM ranging is a must, but you guys should be fine there.

Janelle at Porters Sutherland just went through a big brew-ha-ha with Porters, so she is now rebranded under ILR as Local Liquor Shire Cellars. Expect that place to improve as she now has more wiggle room for ranging.

And f**k DM! If the local indies were smart, they would leave the Treasury / Constellation / Pernod product to them and diversify their variety. Those that don't will die or get their licence bought out by Woolies or Coles.

Yeah, we dropped some stuff into Joanna the other day. She is a good egg. Should have some stuff going on there as Alan is onto it.

Heard about Janelle. Did she just get the shits or was there more to it than that?

Totally agree with you re local indies and Treasury etc. If they got some good juice at good price ranges and had agreements on exclusives, they'd flourish as people want good wine yet can't find it.

Jeanelle is fine if you keep seeing her etc. if she chats with you, you're good. Cross her though...

As for changing banners, it was because of Porters doing a bunch of loss leading promos and not getting rebates out for over six months. Expect Porters Miranda to follow soon.

 

[Drew-Sta]

Figured that about her. Lovely to those who do her right, not good with those who don't.

Fair dinkum! Had NFI Porters were doing that. I've heard they're in trouble but it sounds worse than I thought.

Yeah I've stuffed my knee again doing Bootcamp. Running isn't good for it, jumping is worse. Most of the last fortnight has involved jumping.

I wonder of getting better shoes will help the shin splints. Where's Cliffy when you need her?

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Everyone changes banners about every 5 years or so. Currently the hot ones are Liquor Stax and Local Liquor, but that will change. It always changes.

 

[Misanthrope]

Going to stand on a Chinese destroyer and wander around inside a Chinese submarine today. Hoorah!

I think I have man flu and I'm not even a man

The merry go round of independent liquor :crazy:

Press the red button! Its totally worth it :sarcasm:

You're complaining, so you definitely have it :lol:

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Chinese destroyer Hoorah!

Is that what you will call yourself in 16 days? :sarcasm:

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Considering sending a strongly worded letter upon your death.

 

[Cliffhanger]

It's man flu or pharyngitis. If I swallow or blow my nose I get paid in my ear ear. My throat is partially blocked. My noise won't stop running, my eyes are watery and my head hurts.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

You get paid in your ear? FMD! Don't you have a bank account?

Not to take the piss as I know you're sick, but this was a hilarious phone post. :lol:

Also, how is that F7's article coming? We could use you for next round my dear

Will it also come with free membership to the 'Misanthrope Appreciation Society' or do you need to jump into bed with you before that... :sarcasm:

Medium? You must be... like, small like me... :crazy:

 

[Skinner]

I used to get mine in a brown envelope

 

[Drew-Sta]

I used to get mine in a brown envelope

I used to get paid in cash, weekly, many years ago.

Took me ages to budget properly for a full monthly pay.

 

[Misanthrope]

Wages should be fortnightly. Monthly pay is just cruel.

6 feet and 70kg of impotent (actually - that's not true. I have mini SMBN snoozing on my lap now) rage!

Cameron Smith? Is that you?!
