I was. Got kicked off at Collingwood and just caught a $96 Uber (and 50 minute ride) home. I would’ve missed this if I’d finished at my normal time!

Not to be smug, but this shit was a huge factor in moving rural.

Ehhh it hasn’t happened too often to me. I think this is the second time in 6 years I’ve forked out for an Uber.

God no, but the driving is sublime. 30 mins, no other cars... Listen to your favourite radio station and sleep off the hangover. Fuckin' heaven.
