Live and Let Die was one of the best songs I've seen live. Phenomenal.

That five pack from Band on the Run through to Hey Jude was the highlight of the show for me. Loved Hard Day's Night, Can't Buy Me Love, Blackbird, Four Five Seconds, Love Me Do, All My Lovin. Just brilliant. So glad I went.

Far out mate if you love fire works this much NYE is gonna blow your mind.

NYE fireworks annoy me, particularly because the taxpayer pays for them when, in my opinion, the money could be better spent elsewhere.

And for the record, the fire was better than the fireworks in Live and Let Die IMO.

 

[jd2010]

Isn't it paid for by the council?

So really it's rate payers and people who get parking fines that pay for them

What about the music? That was pretty good too.

I could be wrong, but pretty sure it's the tax payer.

Hahaha oh of course. One of the best songs I've seen live.

 

[jd2010]

It's paid for by Melbourne city council down here. Pretty sure it's Sydney city council who pay up there

 

[Cruyff14]

You're right, I stand corrected.

Still think that money could be better spent elsewhere.

 

[jd2010]

What else are they going to use the money on?

Parks are clean. Street lights work. Don't think they do much else

There's always programs they could better spend the money on than a silly light show.

It's marketing spend to showcase their city

Roads, footpaths, carparks. More parks. $6m could do heaps.

Where are they going to pull a park out of lol

Roads are state govt.

Footpaths is the other one they look after. They're not that terrible in the city

For some reason I was thinking of local government stuff. ******* idiot lol

True. How much extra business does it create though.
You'd think there'd be a large spike in alcohol sales for a start, all of which helps local businesses as well as provide excise income.

The on screen time it generates for the city after it pays for itself

 

[BluesMan]

Just finished watching it. Had the exact same reactions as you guys. First half was a real average, but epic second

 

[bok_party]

Personally, best Star Wars film yet in my opinion. A couple of moments that made me cringe but felt it was a far more
Enjoyable experience than the rest.

The Simpsons have always been ahead of their time. But where were they in the 70s and 80s to tell us not to sell shitty houses in shitty suburbs that would now fetch over a million dollar?

Pretty impressive track record they have of predictions. Still waiting for “smell you later” to replace “goodbye” though

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Darn UK and their Xmas ads... it drives me to drink... Irn Bru. It's not bad actually, I can see why the Scots like it so much.

Also saw an awesome Xmas lights show yesterday. Tons of people there to see a whole court being lit up. It was freakin' amazing. To think I thought putting up the lights was a dying art. What I saw last night was amazing!

Give it time.

And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.
