In Melbourne for the week. Has been pissing down since i arrived and am drinking a crown lager. The full experience.
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.

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.

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...

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

I think he must be taking the piss.

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.
