    My father always used to call them that. Even their buffet at Fortuna is no good for you and encourages gluttony. SKC also have been rorting customers with big increases in their car parking fees in recent years to such an extent that they sold off their car parks for a whopping $220m. It is Karma for both them and FBU.
    The QC lawyers representing both companies are likely to engage in a titanic battle over who pays for the extra years of delay's with the construction and must be rubbing their hands with glee with the prospect of millions more in lawyers fees.

    LOL Yes, guilty as charged Where else can you get an entrée, main, desert, coffee and cheeseboard and as many repeats of courses as you like for as little as $24.95 for lunch Monday to Thursday ? Of course they get you in the carpark for a minimum of about $11 so its not really $24.95...

    It s even more if you do not get your card validated by them - that is been into the casino and actually eaten or gambled or to one of the eating establishments.
    Back when the complex opened, use to park the car all day for $5 when working in the CBD.
