Haha I'll reply cause I'm bored too

Favourite restaurant... Italian Kitchen in Kaleen ever since Cafe Della Piazza closed

Best steak - Charcoal Grill

Fave shop - Portmans!! Welcome to DFO and anywhere that sells shoes, Steve Madden is a very nice addition to Canberra.

Car wash at Mitchell goes alright, always less busy than the Gunners one.

Bestest food van - GSpot!

Fave pubs - All Bar and Kingos

Fav roundabout is that big one near the war memorial at the very end of that road

And Fav online shop is RHD Japan. Lotsa Jap goodies for my car.

Ok everyone else's turn to talk shit now.

Well, I'm procrastinating, so...

Pub? All Bar Nun is close, but if I'm in town there will often be a stop in at PJ's. The Kingo is never a bad place to spend an arvo.

Eat? Agree with Kat above about the Kaleen shop, but since I've moved I've become partial to Mee Sing at the Lyneham shops - CHEAP chinese, always friendly and never a bad meal in an almost weekly visit! Plus they deliver when it rains and I'm lazy

Steak? Mine at home, sadly I haven't had a better one in Canberra Was pleasantly surprised by Jacksons near Circular Quay when in Sydney a while back though... $14 inc a schooner of Squires and the steak was very tasty.

Shop? Not really my thing, probably Aldi or Bunnings :S

Car? Visit BP every few weeks, Waves Car Wash in Gungahlin is a good enough reason to drive up there every month or so... haven't been to one in Mitchell, might have to check it out as I didn't know there was one there...

Drive? GDE is nice and smooth with my suspension Roads out Mt Stromlo or Uriarra way are nice on occasion...

skills for moose mate

[Bullet32]

civic...moose

Mooseheads sucks... Unless you like waiting 20 minutes to order a drink, being surrounded by teenie sl_ts, getting in a fight with a bunch of 18 - 19 year old wankers who have something to prove, then getting home and having to wash the soles of your shoes because you made the mistake of wading through the inch deep lake of urin in the mens toilets.

Mooseheads sucks...

+1!!!

I have to plan to go there in advance so that I wear crap shoes so that shoes don't end up black or manky!!

[Swiper the Fox]

WTF??

[Gus-]

lol some1 edited my post haha...twas a joke kat btw anyway...jsut remembered a great spot...

the chess board at pancake palour hahaha

[GTRKat]

LOL ok I shall leave you boys to your randomness

The pancake parlour is so wrong. I was with someone who ordered a steak that came out with a pancake as well (guessing you'd prolly call it a crepe) but savoury or not that's just weird!!!

[Gus-]

lol sif not order a pancake at the pancake parlour.

that place is gold at 11 pm on a friday night and the girly wants soemthing better than a crummy foodvan.

[GTRKat]

The G Spot shits all over Pancake Parlour!!

[TURISMO]

Food- Thai Amarin, Erindale

Movies- Hoyts Woden* Tuesdays only

Chillout- Mount Jerra* Can't go there anymore

Drive- Back Track, Sutton Rd

Best Food Van- Agree with kat, GSpot* i can never find it though

and also agree with gus about pancake parlour

GSpot= Bacon & egg roll with 1-2 mates

The Parlour= 1am Hunger hangout with a group

Both just as good as each other

[ZCR]

there are a few places in here that i have to go and eat at by the sounds of it!
