I GO TO SYDNEY

Lucas Heights is nice.

how about oxford st

Can't we combine both those options?

RADIOACTIVE PROSTITUTES

THINGS TO DO

1. Find a place to live
2. Failing that, find a cardboard box to stay in for the interim
3. Drive across this crazy mysterious brown land in the BARINA
4. Get one of those iPod-cassette connectors because really, iTrip is useless
5. Sell a kidney for petrol (maybe)
6. Get drunk at my going away shindig (before I sell that kidney)
7. Tell Morris Iemma to quit before I come over

newtown

Fuck the lack of cheap accommodation so I can have somewhere to stay while finding a new place and starting the new job.

where's the job? In town?

YAHHH CASTLEREAGH STREET YAHHHHHH

newtown and enmore are horrible!

what do you need in a place to live, PP?

He should live near that place where we won the meat raffle.

Any bar where you have to consult a map with a compass to see if you can enter is an excellent bar in my book.

hahha. actually, theres one of those in every suburb in australia.

He should live near that place where we won the meat raffle.

I checked out a place today where the chick said the nearby pub was great - she won a meat tray there two weeks ago.

newtown and enmore are horrible!

RONG

RONG

All about the dude at the train station screaming "why doesn't this fucking train go to Newtown" and then calling everyone fuckheads.

We're still at least another year from coming back to Sydney, Pato. Don't give up too soon.

Yeah. Next Winter. We might go to Hawaii instead though.

Where it will be summer.

good point

SHOE SHOPPING

In Adelaide: there is only one store in tha ADL that sells Size 15 shoes and they only have one type of boring office/dress shoes and one type of casual/sports shoes (butt-ugly Converse sneakers). And it costs way over $100.

In Sydney: I went to the Homebush DFO today (don't ask) and found a bad-ass pair of Pumas with a big puma on the side looking super bad-ass on the shelf in my size! Size 15! And for the low low price of $65! And I look super duper bad-ass now!

fabulous

sydney rules

(don't ask)

there is no more sensible place to go for shoes than the DFO

Yeah I found that out the other night.

DF(TW)O

despite ~90% of everything there being shit and/or not reduced

I don't think I've been to a DFO in my life.

MELBOURNE VERSUS SYDNEY: ROUND 1

Melbourne: froze my balls off on Wednesday night because bogan Queenslanders wanted us to walk in the freezing cold at night so we can have a drink at Crown Bloody Casino.

Sydney: had a pleasant sunny walk through Hyde Park at lunch today and almost got a tan.

I went to two of Sydney's great cultural buildings this weekend: the Opera House and Westfield Parramatta. These experiences have led me to the conclusion that I neither want to be upper class or working class...

I AM THE WHITEST DUDE THAT LIVES IN STRATHFIELD YAHHHH

Still, I prefer the azn girls and dudes (esp. the girls) here in Strathfield than dealing with rich cunts or eternal uni students in certain other areas. It's all good.

strathfield has some sweet vintage shops

okay, last time i was in strathfield was 95 or 96 but i dont think those clothes have gotten any less vintage

PP told me he read in Time magazine (I think?) that Melbourne is Australia's Paris. They both have dirty rivers running through them I guess?

"Sydney's about glamour and bikinis. We're about after dark," explains born-and-bred Melburnian, Karen Webster, who helms the city's annual fashion festival. "They live for the beach. We're foodies. We live to eat."

http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1717144_1841688_1841686,00.html

i wonder how pato is enjoying all that glamour and bikini

If Sydney is for glamour and bikinis, and Melbourne is for foodies, what purpose does Adelaide serve?

winos

If by homeless dudes drinking out of a paper bag, yeah.

i saw some belching girls with crudely tattooed breasts when i was there, they seemed to be thriving.

^^ HINDLEY STREET FASHIONISTAS

i'm glad you escaped.

There was a stabbing murder in Strathfield! Just minutes walk away! It was a top news story because her sister killed her! You don't get excitement like that in Adelaide apart from the one every decade weird serial killings which are usually involving dudes from Elizabeth!

i met a guy from adelaide who tried to tell me that it was a deeply fucked up place run by a behind-the-scenes freaky murder/sex cult called The Family. this guy was a weirdo btw.

what can you tell me about this, KBP?

Er, dude was telling the truth.

ok. ruling out adelaide for the xmas holiday then.

Oh, if you're not a white male aged 12-16, it's unlikely you'll be brutally raped and murdered on videotape for a secret cabal controlling the city.

Christ on a mountain bike, I am sick of Sydney.

I've been invited down to Bowral for a weekend, I am going to take up that offer and urinate on the back porch of Don Bradman's boyhood home.

Lucas Heights is nice.

LOL

Do they sell peanut butter there.

What's the current time in Sydney, next Tuesday?

the future

Still not sure where to stand at the urinal.

directly in front of it iirc

Do I stand on the grate or do I piss over it.

Like, what is this. Do I shit in the middle part or what

Anyway, we'll be there next week.

newtown and enmore are horrible!

can't believe I didn't SB this chick while I had the chance

m8 just syphon the python in a dunny will ya (xp)

btw I note it has been raining in Sydney for months now

Mates, I took a vacation from America to get away from this sort of thing.

WELCOME TO SYDDERS M8

my office in the CBD is currently under lockdown

I just saw this! Jesus fuck!

I know sic is on a beach and QGP is ok...all the other sydneysiders are cool?

breaking news: the strip club across the street remains open

Grand Mufti denounces that one too.

A man has told the Daily Telegraph he bumped into the gunman outside of the Lindt cafe and the gunman threatened to “shoot him too”:

Craig Stoker, a father of four from Eastlakes, told the newspaper:

He was wearing a black T-shirt with white writing on it and a headband and carrying a blue bag.

The bag bumped into me and there was something hard in it. I said ‘watch where you are fucking going’.

gunmen getting "agitated" at ch 10 not running their video

still going on

I am home and comfortable unlike those poor hostages :-(

'Straya has handled this well much better than expected (search #illridewithyou on Twitters as one example) despite some wayward commercial media reportage.

RIP 2 hostages + 1 idiot

One of my friends, who not only used to be a fairly highly ranked policeman but a fairly highly ranked policeman involved in counter terrorism, was telling me last week that he reckoned this is increasingly about lack of proper mental health provision rather ISIS or whatever ... and, voila, this nutjob shows up.

... he was talking from a UK perspective of course.

This nutjob "showed up" seven years ago (hate letters to soldiers & widows then, arranging his ex's murder in 2012, 40+ sexual assault charges as a spiritual healer in 2013) and only "became" a Muslim two weeks ago. There's no sensible reason to invoke ISIS enough to even dismiss it.

only "became" a Muslim two weeks ago

So he was just an Iranian with an anti govt agenda before this? (serious q, from what I was seeing on the news it seems hes been in the news on and off for a long time ranting about hating the govt and saving women and children in the middle east).

I think he just switched flavors of Islam--Shia to Sunni--a few weeks ago.

Amanda Palmer giving us her oh so awaited Opinionz on the matter, of course.

Quite obviously a very sick individual and there was more than enough warning. (He switched brands of Islam in his head so he could be a lunchbox legend like all the other wannabe Daesh.) Why this guy wasn't locked up is beyond me.

Very, very sad about the two people lost and from what the media are saying, they both went out as real heroes.

Walked up to Martin Place at lunch and it was very sad - seemed everyone had come up to pay their respects. Walked past a flower stand nearby and the line up went for ages.
