Can anyone from Melbourne actually relate to any of this?

I've lived here my entire life and honestly, aside from 2 or 3 of these it's one big 'wtf?!'

Read that yesterday, and although there were a few misses, it wasn't a bad effort.

Lol... diarising in September for the footy?? More like from March to September.

Yeah most of those I didnt really get... but then again its the Age newspaper its printed in.

- When diarising anything in September you first consult the footy fixture.

Whats that meant to mean?

Exactly...the article was written by a woman who probably can't spell "sport" and doesn't realise that the footy fixture actually doesn't tell us which teams will be playing where and when in September ! March to August yes but September, that's a big no right there !

- You pretend the Sydney-Melbourne rivalry doesn't exist. Which it doesn't. Because Sydney doesn't care. And that really shits you.

Got that bit right.

"- You refer to rococo furniture as "very Franco Cozzo"."

Does that guy still have ads on the TV? I still remember his ads from 15+ years ago. "Come to Footscray, Franco Cozzo." in an Italian (i think) accent.

I liked this one:

" Melbourne. What School Did You Go To?"

Half were crap and the other half re-worded crap stolen from the internet.

Most of it was not about 'you know you are from Melbourne if...', it read like 'you know you are an upper class latte sipping snob if...'

But I completely relate to the Melway comment

 

[bresker]

Every city should have a version of Melway. It's brilliant. But now sat nav will ruin it.

 

[bradrowe#32]

I can't stand Catherine Deveny and that list was lame. I put her in the same category as Mia 'every little bit of my life is just soooo exciting' Freedman, Robyn 'no one anywhere is allowed any fun' Riley and Cheryl 'all my stories are about the Richmond cheersquad' Critchley.

i bet it was stolen from a facebook group.

Reminds me of my Dad's very lame joke he told me about 1000 times...

What did Franco Cozzo say when he accidently stepped into a bucket full of grey paint while walking through brunswick?

- I'm in Brunswick and foot is grey....

 

[demonfan9]

There's actually been a song made about Franco Cozzo. It's half Italian-half English, quite funny and catchy though.

I felt betrayed when I discovered we weren't the only ones with trams.

And maybe thats the issue, you need to go somewhere else to find out there is a big bad world out there and Melbourne isn't the be and end of the world.
