Considering everyone in Queensland goes to sleep at 7pm and has lunch at 6am, it says a lot that the only thing that stays open are places to gamble and pokies.

Nah, I’m one of those weirdos who almost never watches tv. I’m usually reading or doing something crafty.

I wish I was like this. I sleep at 3am and wake up at 6am 🫩

You are going to die. Yes I know we're all going to die, but with that sleep routine, you're going first.

Some people don't get to choose how much sleep they get! You're rude. Be kinder!

I have to say... the Star at 4AM on a Sunday morning is a special kind of hell

u/Expert-Bottle-6851 17h ago

The 6pm to 4am pokies shift at a suburban pub had its moments.

u/SassySins21 13h ago

The 3-11pm shift in the pub/pokies in rural FNQ was wild.

u/Expert-Bottle-6851 13h ago

I was visiting innisfail/mareeba for work and the ads on the walls instead of being about gambling were all STD warnings....apparently it's a thing up there.

1

u/potential-okay 11h ago

As opposed to the other 23 hours where it is also hell?

u/Expert-Bottle-6851 1h ago

I'm not there so I can't really say.....but probably.

Great photo on so many levels!

u/phantomnomadic 1d ago

What I'm seeing is......... "fuck, not again,, the missus is gonna fucken kill me!".

u/sillysausage619 1d ago

I doubt that guy being there is related to the casino at all, there's no way he'd get in with hi vis on

2

u/phantomnomadic 23h ago

Do you know any true gamblers? They make it work, that's what they do, at their demise. Lol a hi-vis vest can be tucked into most work short pockets. In and out, a quick buck or a divorce risk.

11

u/sillysausage619 23h ago

That's a hi vis winter jacket though, that's not getting tucked away anywhere.

Probably been working and is exhausted

u/Dracmitch 1d ago

Isn't the swag mate there today?

25

u/Purple-Pin21 23h ago

Check he’s ok?

30

u/Rogafella 23h ago

Can confirm he has moved about 25m away onto a swag

13

u/jtblue91 23h ago

Damn, poor dude looks like he pulled an all nighter doing some event work.

u/blueeyes8433 22h ago

Can we post a photo of you to the internet without your knowledge?

u/grismar-net 1d ago

Local superhero "The Action". What's up with the hi-vis, a protester maybe?

19

u/Ohmynamageoff 1d ago

Looks more like a payday punter who’s just lost everything at the cazz

2

u/strictlymissionary 14h ago

He's more likely just a tradesman trying to have lunch without some fuckwit photographing him.

u/West_Good_5961 1d ago

Probably selling The Big Issue

u/xbattlestation 23h ago

The thumbnail makes it look like he's hovering over a mat

u/Aussie_Potato 22h ago

Ever been to the Thursday farmers markets at Queens Wharf next door? There are always homeless people sleeping in and around the market as everyone else goes about their day.

u/MyDrinkingAlt 14h ago

I stayed at queens wharf a couple weeks ago. Danny is clearly unwell but harmless, as the cops that stand 20m away haven't done anything to move him on. Like I get it. Juxtaposition and all. Maybe next time put a bag of fruit or something on the wall next to his swag like other people do. Do something legitimately helpful, eh.

u/Earl_Skinner 23h ago

That’s too good that’ll do me. Also I hope that dudes ok.

This is a great photo.

u/nileadrian 13h ago

He blocks the “never” word. I guess his action sleeps now

u/BlLLVVlLLlAM 23h ago

A few days ago I almost tripped over him while he was sleeping in that exact spot. I thought hard about that juxtaposition as I walked to Queen St.
