Andrew Bolt has proof that Melbourne is more boring than Sydney.
UPDATE. And Canberra is more boring than Adelaide.
Nahhhh, Tim, you’ve got it all wrong.
Sydney’s just more low brow!
Then again, maybe I should be quiet before someone points out I live in the same city as Traceeee Hutchison and Andrew Jaspan.
Posted by Ash_ on 2008 05 11 at 01:48 AM2 – Doesn’t Eddie McGuire belong on that list too?
Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2008 05 11 at 02:37 AMNOTHING is more boring than Adelaide–and I’ve lived in Blenheim NZ, which is almost comatose.

Posted by Ash_ on 2008 05 11 at 03:01 AM- Sydney City has Clover.
While in Melbourne City we have Underbelly and Nixon.
Now in the suburbs we have what?Posted by stackja1945 on 2008 05 11 at 03:32 AM As a Sydney sider I see nothing offensive or incorrect in the point Mr. Blair is making.
Though, having been born in Perth, I also endorse frollickingmole’s accurate characterisation.

Posted by entropy on 2008 05 11 at 04:36 AMI looked up doidy doidy music on youtube but came up empty.
Posted by dean martin on 2008 05 11 at 04:53 AMI once knew a girl who relocated from Adelaide to Sydney.
When I asked why, the response was:
“I ran out of guys to fuck”.
Hmmm, never heard of that before as a reason to move interstate.
Posted by mr creosote on 2008 05 11 at 05:05 AM12 – Lord! I knew Adelaide was a small town, but…
Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2008 05 11 at 05:12 AMCanberra isn’t very boring. Compared to such exciting, far away places as Toledo, Ohio, yes. But not compared to…. um….
Well, it only takes 10 minutes to get to work, and Sydney’s only a 3 hour bus trip away. It took me almost that long to commute from Sydney’s Northern Beaches into the CBD.
Posted by Zoe Brain on 2008 05 11 at 05:25 AMI think I found doidy music. If that is what the Irish listen to, they and their backpacks should be expelled forthwith.

#9 Abu C…if you were a real Sydneysider you’d spell it that way.
Posted by Rod C on 2008 05 11 at 05:44 AMThis is a better version Dean.
Posted by Ash_ on 2008 05 11 at 05:50 AMfrollicking, careful you’re wick doesn’t catch fire…
Oh, not wick?
Posted by kae on 2008 05 11 at 06:01 AM#18. Rod C: you must be from Melbourne, as indicated by your penchant for pedantry.

Posting of such music without proper warnings attached can only be regarded as a declaration of war.
So be it.
Your vile act of aggression leaves me no alternative but to retaliate.Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2008 05 11 at 06:44 AM Can’t we all just be friends Swinish?!
Posted by Ash_ on 2008 05 11 at 06:55 AMOh that is a despicable act of terrorism Swinish. Here is your karma.
Posted by dean martin on 2008 05 11 at 07:07 AMAdelaide less boring than Canberra?
Having lived in and loathed both, I have to disagree.
From Canberra, when you leave the city is only a few hours to Someplace Else. Most of Someplace Else is interesting.
From Adelaide, when you leave the city, things go Downhill Fast.
Downhill Fast blows big lumpy chunks in any language you care to name.
Canberra, at least, has excellent libraries, museums and the War Memorial: it also has a fabulous public exhibition of the most primitive of primate life-forms, Homo Headinarseicus, AKA ALP politicians and their missing link, the pre-hominid species, Protohomo Greenicus. There is also a rare survivor of the loathesome sub-species Raginghomo Brownii
Adelaide has third generation welfare bludgers who stuff the chopped up corpses of their relatives into barrels so they can steal their dole payments.

You say that like it’s a bad thing, MarkL – they’re all off the dole now!
I must visit Canberra again, haven’t been there since 1981, to the War Memorial. Must go and see it again as it’s changed a lot since then.
Posted by kae on 2008 05 11 at 07:16 AM- There used to be a saying that the only thing that moves in Melbourne on a Sunday is the smoke from the crematorium.
But I’ve been everywhere and I can say with absolute authority that Wellington NZ is the dullest capital city in the world.
Once spent a Christmas Day there. We were the only customers staying in the city’s leading hotel. Except for the manager, the staff all had the day off.
Went for a walk in the park and streets for about 30 minutes and saw not one human, living or dead.Posted by Skeeter on 2008 05 11 at 07:19 AM Secondary broadside at the swinish one.
Posted by dean martin on 2008 05 11 at 07:20 AMI drove across the Story Bridge on Friday nite, on my way home from Brekkie Creek.
Brisbane is really pretty from the Story Bridge, and it seems like you can reach out and touch the buildings across the river from the bridge, which is at a 90 degree angle to the city. Story Bridge, Brisbane.
Posted by kae on 2008 05 11 at 07:21 AMPsst, Deano. This will make him run screaming from the room.
he he he
Posted by kae on 2008 05 11 at 07:26 AM- (shrieking) Friends?
FRIENDS???
Suffer and cringe before my Doomsday Weapon!Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2008 05 11 at 07:27 AM MarkL and kae, my only visit to Canberra was in 1954. Do you think there has been enough change to make a second visit worthwhile?
(#31 Kae: Bugger! I’ve missed another Brekkie Creek.
Is that one of your favourite vehicles swooping past the bridge?)Posted by Skeeter on 2008 05 11 at 07:28 AM- I’m sure I sent you an email??!? About Brekkie Creek?
MareeS will be up in a coupla weeks, we’re going to have a re-run on the Thu or Fri 22 or 23 May.Yes, it is an F111 doing a D&B.I just realised driving over the bridge at night how beautiful the city looked, and how unusual it is to have a city spread out like that parallel with the bridge.Posted by kae on 2008 05 11 at 07:32 AM This is about what Swinish deserves.
Posted by Ash_ on 2008 05 11 at 07:33 AM#35 You did. I got sidetracked and forgot what day it was. Happens to us coffin-dodgers all the time.
Posted by Skeeter on 2008 05 11 at 07:39 AMKae and dean, unless you have something more powerful in reserve, we better surrender to swinish!
If Saddam possessed the Doomsday weapon swinish just unleashed, even the french would have joined the C of the willing!
Posted by Orion on 2008 05 11 at 07:40 AM- Skeeter, you must go see the War Memorial.
It’s AMAZING.
And touching.
And fascinating.Posted by kae on 2008 05 11 at 07:45 AM - Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2008 05 11 at 07:51 AM

That is clearly outside of the Geneva convention, so don’t count,Devastating? yes.
Pulverizing, utterly mind numbing sure! but still illegal!!Posted by Orion on 2008 05 11 at 07:59 AM Talk to this guy about the Geneva Convention!
Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2008 05 11 at 08:11 AM- HA!

Right Ive been keeping this in reserve, I dare anyone to count just how many times a certain word is used in this song So 80’s it hurts.

You don’t have Perth to call Dullsville any more.
