We’re in Melbourne for Chris’s bucks weekend. This is a collective list we’re all making.
1. The wide roads means the trams will kill you
2. Melbourne guys & girls wearing 80’s clothes thinking their hip
3. Its always raining and windy
4. MELBOURN HIPPIES
5. The airport isn’t even in Melbourne, its a 30 minute drive
6. No sights to see
7. No beaches with sand (local Trent disagreed, says we got Bells beach)
8. Massive ferris wheel that doesn’t work.
9. Pots of beer mean you have to buy twice as many drinks
10. Melbourneites think they invented coffee
11. You cant buy any sunblock cause there’s no need for it.
12. Their Luna park is so un-fun they’ve shut it down 3 times
13. To turn right you have to be in the left lane (go figure)
14. You have to carry a jacket, an umbrella and a pair of sunglasses with you every day just in case.
15. Its that trendy they’re still playing “Mrs Mills Jubilee party” album on a Friday night.
16. All the bar tenders have moustaches.
17. They still get around the city by horse & carriage
18. The taxi drivers don’t know anywhere.
19. There favourite sport (cross country ballet) awards you a point when you miss the target, and its played on a round pitch with two ends, sensible!
Looks like we couldn’t quite get to 20 in the end.
point 20 – should have been , no train from either airport!
and for point 13 , you forgot to mention that you do the turn on a red light
Yep – it’s a 20 buck red bus ride that takes forever to get to Southern Cross…
It sucks , it’s dirty and full of hobo’s.
Yea my melbourne ‘friends’ ladder climbing fuckwits are a disgrace to the expresson of artist. They are really shallow and two faced everyone i have met from melbourne is full of themselves and shallow snobs and hella bitchy. Like which other state in australia bashes someone just from coming from NSW. Jealous Melbourne fucks do. I much prefer adeliade cbd, queensland or nsw where the true blue’s see eye to eye with people not ass to mouth.
Deadset dudes/dudettes a person whom i thought was a good friend from smellbourne. Accused me of plotting his murder. All he used to do was compare sydney to melbourne. He really cared about his public image although claimed he was punk or whatever. Pretty much everyone i know that moved there from sydney are really snobby and entitled. Its like they are still in high school desiring social acceptance and would sabotage anyone at the top of a hat to gain respect or props.
Hi Beddy , could I please ask that you remove my comment as my real name is on it and I been copping it ever since.
Ha-Ha!
20. Too many Indians.
Melbourne and Sydney folk are both the same. Melbourne sucks up to Sydney…Sydney sucks up to Melbourne. So happy not to live in either place. You will never be happy. Always comparing themselves with somewhere else. Don’t be surprised if they never travelled much around their own country. They just want to be be Europe or Britain. They are never true to themselves. Always seeking approval. Latch on to to any positive comment about them and then exploit it. Media driven fantasy cities that aren’t wholesome. The problem with Sydney is that it believes in its own delirium. It also sucks so much attention away from the rest of Australia, as does Melbourne. They claim everything for themselves with no reference to where they drew inspiration from. Total disregard for good people. Expensive existence. No humility to be found in most people. Full of overpayed white trash who befriend anyone with an income of over 1 million dollars a year. Disown you if you don’t compete with them. Also lots of impoverished folk who they don’t want to acknowledge. Pretend to be diverse with an attitude to boot. They prove to be empty headed and soul less. Aggressive for all the wrong reasons. Don’t match up to “their own” hype. I find they are not that well informed but believe their own narrative. Both places do not feel like home and they are not homely. The poor foreigners have to stick to themselves in their own enclaves because the cities aren’t friendly or accommodating. I hate to think that the rest of the world gauges Australians because of these two narcissistic self regarding shits of cities. There are better places with better opportunities and friendlier outlooks. Other cities in Australia aren’t that self focussed and will have the time for others and have adopted a better attitude to newcomers. Except for Adelaide. It is not that friendly either. It is just a Melbourne wannabe city with a smaller population and a pompous attitude. It hates every other city in Australia because it believed itself to be better than the rest and that didn’t eventuate. Sour lemons for Adelaide. All I am looking for is a down to earth, realistic, green city with enough to be happy with and friendly people to talk to. After all, living with narcissists doesn’t excite me. There is a lot more honesty and humility in Australian country folk but they are also envious of city folk. Always wanting what the cities offer without realising that they are better off without most of it. Sydney and Melbourne attitudes aren’t to be envied. They are always looking for more of something. They might have a lot but never satisfied. It’s distressing to say the least. I expected a more robust, well rounded and level headed type of personality but instead you get a bitchy, competitive, and incomplete personality with aspirations of becoming famous and rich. The TV programming in Australia is dismal with a heavy focus on Sydney and Melbourne. Most Australians do not live in Sydney and Melbourne. It is just pathetic. By the way, Sydney Harbour isn’t that great and port Phillip Bay is meh! Overhyped, over rated, bullshit.
