You haven’t had the full experience until you’ve paid $25 for scrambled eggs in a cafe with repurposed containers and XXL-sized filament light globes.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

...and even had time to shoot 5 under at Royal Pines today in the PGA to be just 3 behind the leader going into the final round

Haha shows how much I care about golf.

Through choice or necessity?

I assume indoor given Melbourne was the venue. Can you do some scouting for one of those 205cm / 110kg Category B type rookies I'm always looking for?

Yeh. Indoor for sure. Might be a few around this week.

sparkling is alright but produces absolutely horrific hangovers

i still have recurring nightmares from drinking 22 of them in one session about 12 years ago.

I did 18 Sparklings on one poker night along with a heap of smokes when I was still pretty new to the whole drinking thing. The hangover was simply apocalyptic.

an important stat is that melbourne averages only 602mm of rainfall a year which isn't very much.

to put that into perspective, queenstown in tasmania averages 2400mm. innisfail in qld averages 3600mm.

melrose, in the dreary old mid north of south australia averages 550mm.

another important rainfall myth is that its always wet and miserable in london. i will shatter that myth tonight by revealing that london averages only 601mm per year.

Yeah Melbourne just has an exceptional talent for having half an hour of absolutely torrential rain that comes out of nowhere and being sunny and dry like nothing ever happened two minutes later. The rain has a weird personality in Melbourne, which is probably why people think of it as a rainy place.

 

[Del165198]

whenever i've been to melbourne it's been a windy campaigner, i'll give it that

 

[Magpiespower]

Dying of thirst after a campaigner of a night at work so I stopped in at the local on the way home, had a cold as West End Draught, and even though the barmaid cut me off for skulling, it was the greatest beer ever poured in the history of the whole wide world IDGAF what you beer w@nkers say...

 

[raman]

They can cut you off for skulling? Is that a thing?

 

[Del165198]

 

[Del165198]

no more for you, you've had too many after that one beer you skulled!

 

[Magpiespower]

Not for the first time, lol. This was the first time sober, but. She looked like she'd had enough for one night. But still...

[Grave Danger]

Some old geezer playing really loud music near my place. Paul somebody or other.

"All we are saying, is give peace a chance"

I think he must be taking the piss.

 

[Magpiespower]

"You are tearing me apaaaaaaart, Lisa!"

Ya dunno know what your missing........great game. I've tried my best to master it but unfortunately
it takes a lot of balls to play golf like I do.

 

[NoddyHolder]

I went to Melbourne once and drank international roast - ironically

Try and out-Melbourne that ****ers

 

[Prison bar Pete]

I contributed $1.51 to CityLink on a recent trip

And washed it down with a $15 deconstructed coffee

Agreed, I got caught in rain in Melbourne on what had been a reasonably sunny day one January about 30 years ago that was as heavy as I have ever seen, and that includes experiencing torrential rain in places like Darwin, Townsville, and tropical countries I have visited.

It only lasted for about 10 minutes, but it was so heavy that even with the windscreen wipers going flat out you couldn't see any more than about 50 metres, and I remember dozens of cars having to pull over to the side of the road until it passed.
