LOL. :)

Nice trainspotting benny the cunt.

Did NPL exist in Victoria at this time, or should we write to channel 9 and point out the error? Maybe it's the same bar that had Pure Blonde on tap in 1998? :geek:

Then again, it could have just been a clever product placement paid for by NPL?? :idea:

i dont think NPL was around then, but who knows, they may have got someone from channel 9 to make sure that the banner was shown LOL

it was funny, i was looking at the forum at the same time as i was watching underbelly, and then i see that.

I'd say it was a product placement thing.
Like in Seinfeld, just swap Snapple with NPL game.


Seinfeld - "NPL Game?"
Virgin - "No thanks"


Ohhh and just swap Seinfeld and Virgin with Gangland murderers.

Either that makes sense, or I tells ya, I should NEVER be up this early... lol
