“Sydney, don’t become like Melbourne”

This article is simply HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!

Cr Moore has said she wants to encourage a more cosmopolitan Melbourne-feel for the city, but Mr Thorpe, a gruff, straight-talking publican of old, views these Melbourne types with deep suspicion.

“People can sit down, talk about history, chew the fat and gaze into each others eyes and all this sort of baloney but it’s pie in the sky stuff,” he said. “That’s not what Sydney wants.”

    Skivvies? Chardonnay? Cucumber sandwiches? WTF?

    Where is this Melbourne hidden which characterises us enough to be classed as the archetypal Melbourne haunt?

    I am amazed to learn places like that are so prolific.

    However, by any and all means, if this gruff, hole in the wall existence dulls the bejesus through you, buy a Subaru, fit it with roof racks, don your stretchiest bicycle shorts and off you go fancy boy.

    You know where to go.
