The flag - my flag - was the emblem of choice for drunken nationalist outbursts across the nation; in Wollongong, south of Sydney, Australia Day violence was the worst police had ever seen, with mobs of drunken, flag-clad teenagers brawling in the streets.

...last resort of a desperate man, 7-11 can fulfill all your drunken needs, though you'll probably regret it. From that pack of cigarettes to those horrible nachos or, God forbid, the taquitos, 7-11's got you covered with it's 24-hour service. Warning: While you may run into your fair share of stoners here satisfying their slurpee and ice cream needs, don't even think about asking for rolling papers. It won't be well received.
