mong summer dream (now featuring added winter, also spring)

The death of newspapers is massively overstated. They'll be kept afloat by people who HAVE to complain about how awful they are for a good 20 years yet.

It seems such a fitzy fixation.

daet said st. k suxx due to backpackers ruining it and she only stays due to job being there, would prefer thee north

backpackers do tend to make everything awful so she may have a point

St k proper sux because of tourists, that I dont deny. But it doesnt mean Windsor, or Balaclava, or South Melbourne or Elwood are crap! (theyre lovely). I dont "get" the vibe in fitz/clif hill etc at all tbh :/ dunno why.

But the fake tan Dahling set are eveyrwhere now, so the whole inner 'burbs are all ruined tbh

PS woooooahhhh this sudden rainy change is AWESOME *opens all the windows*

Id lived here for years and not really heard it before that. It seems such a fitzy fixation.

The north-south difference is quite striking imo – the mood is tangibly different. Also otm about St K, especially during the festival when it's just blue-grid bogans. Really hate going to Acland St now.

I mean we're still in St K E (obv) and love it to bits, no desire to move out of the area at all. People keep telling me that Yarraville is better and cheaper (it is) but I'm happy to pay extra rent to live where I want to live ffs.

Everyone I know says the same about Richmond, and tbh, I'd not mind moving to Richmond - but the quality of rentals in the area compared to where we are is suprisingly shithouse. Nothing is newishly renovated, all the houses are dumpy as fuck, that ive been able to find.

Plus, no parking *anywhere*

True, though not even remotely a concern of mine :P (besides, its walking distance to the city!)

lets not forget this cut out and keep guide: Autumn Almanac reviews Melbourne because as an insomniac, he can't sleep just yet

I think it needs updating, through - "Look at my phone it has Bluetooth" is a very mid-00s thing.

haha I do not remember doing that

bluetooth dude bluetooth

This Christmas, give it to her in the bluetooth

bluetooth dude bluetooth

you better not be using my material on those dates as well, son

lol

on friday's evidence my 'game' appears to be based heavily on slagging fairfax, so no difference from my 'internet persona' it seems

is it a winning angle?

ask again one (1) month

can do!

Fuxake. Make a passing comment on FB about not finding as many nice places to rent at the mo as I have in the past couple months.

Annoying friend starts spamming my post with rentals in Footscray "look at how cheap these are, so much cheaper than where you are". Fuck off woman, if I wanted to live in the west idve moved a long time ago. I said I dont want to leave the area and she's still at it.

&^%#$

And yet she bitches all the time about the crappy non existent PT (mostly only busses) and dodgyness of footscy station and wonders why its cheaper?

luv the scray. never seen so many pho joints in a kilometre square radius in my lyfe

yeah i mean i have no great desire to leave my area but i don't hate on the cray, there's lots of really nice parts of it and it's probably the best value housing in town at the mo

dead set there is a footscray/yarraville rental cult atm (I even tried that on with you trayce iirc)

it's not really a surprise though imo, i mean for people who need cheaper rent but to be close to town it's entering no-brainer territories

TBH Ive only ever passed thru on the train - I'm not judging the place. I'm annoyed that saying "we have chosen to stay in this area" means getting flooded with "but lol CHEAPER HOUSES" posts and one other dick telling me i need to "lower my standards" (he is a LANDLORD - he can eff right off)

Also its worth stressing, while I work CBD, Nick actuallyt works right up our end of st kilda rd, so moving west would be insanely pointless.

"lower my standards"

for a lot of rental places i've seen, lower standards = a carport or lean-to

ease of getting to work is key

for a lot of rental places i've seen, lower standards = a carport or lean-to

LOL I know right. Thats one good thing abt my area, at least (in the $$range we are lookin in) things are newly rennoed. The state of some places... dear god.

ugh i have a crankypants headache now.

your headache would reduce if you moved to footscray

lolol

DONT TRY IT

(ps lol)

awfully like those tourists who see you taking a quick self-portrait in a tourist trap and actually STOP YOU in order to offer to take it for you

just bugger off, i really really want to take this photo and/or live in the inner south-east

u savage

TBH I'd happily live somewhere like Sandringham or Aspendale but hilariously thats eveb more expensive.

I have to say if I moved to Melbourne, I would certainly consider Footscray. Regular trains to city, not concerned about it being a dodgy area (because duh, I live in Redfern and love it), convenient if I wanna go to see my sis, or where my parents are moving to as well.

Also because once I saw a Metro bit of signage advertising service interruptions/bustitution, and it was mistyped as "Footscary" and I liked that.

also can request in this thread that KBP does a Sydney suburb wrap-up, please.

and it was mistyped as "Footscary"

will do my best to crust this into the local vernacular

those horrible bastards

yo h-bruz are u nomming @ ebc tonite? we will be there from 7.15..

also can request in this thread that KBP does a Sydney suburb wrap-up, please.

I bet I can get pretty close to what he would write:

Eastern suburbs: Latte sipping homogays with expensive haircuts
South west: Azns
North shore: Nouveau riche azns
West: Cold Chisel dude Cold Chisel
Inner west: An oasis of Portuguese chicken in a desert of hipster skinny jeans and expensive parmas.

looooool

yo h-bruz are u nomming @ ebc tonite?

jajaja

Is there some special fud- thing on there or youse just like going there? (they do make nice meals I must say)
