Alexikokopops Posted 25 January 2013 Posted 25 January 2013 I found the people in Melbourne more down to earth and realistic, but in terms of scenary Sydney was as good a city as I have seen. A good summary from my experience. Sydney really is stunning, but Melbourne (even though I was only there for a couple of days) was extremely welcoming. Not that people in Sydney were overly dickish or anything, although this did happen a couple of days after I left for the first time... Female dentists are ace. I concur.

Yeah the Lebs weren't the most welcoming to us, we stayed in Parramatta for a few days and they didn't come across as the nicest people. Melbourne I couldn't complain about a single person, a lot of drunken fighting after the cricket at Flinders Street but you get that all the time.
Saxondale Posted 25 January 2013 Posted 25 January 2013 Female dentists are ace. Not experienced a female dentist as such, but have felt the wrath of a female hygeinist. I remember thinking that, on paper at least, the situation was very exciting - I was lay down in a small, darkish room with two not-unattractive women leaning over me. The excitement soon dissipated when i found myself wincing in discomfort at what felt like a Dremel mini angle grinder being pushed around my mouth.

Jon the Hat Posted 25 January 2013 Posted 25 January 2013 My company's office is right on circular quay. Staying two blocks over. Been around the quay and the rocks all week, plus took the ferry to Manly for dinner. Ferry to work? Yes please. No time for beaches. It's all livening up for Australia Day, and I'm off to the airport at 12.
Parafox Posted 25 January 2013 Posted 25 January 2013 That the security bloke in Tesco has the cameras that display at his lectern zoomed in on the self-service checkout screens to watch out for people trying to pull a fast one. People have cottoned on to the fact that you can but 500gm of bananas (expensive) for the price of 500gm of carrots (cheap) if you touch the carrot icon on the screen. No-one ever checks... until now
Rincewind Posted 25 January 2013 Posted 25 January 2013 Always make sure you have credit on your phone.

Parafox Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Or, as I have known people to do, 500g of Stilton for the price of 500g of carrots. Now thats classy. But how do they do that? In my supermarket the cheeses are either pre-packed and priced or weighed at the counter and the bar-code stuck on.

sphericalfox Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Agreeing to do a serious survey months back and forgetting about, and answering the door battered is not a good idea.
BoneDog Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Agreeing to do a serious survey months back and forgetting about, and answering the door battered is not a good idea. Answering the door battered is a nightmare if it's a stranger! I always act well shifty On the same note, my Nana once came round when I was trippin' a long time ago. Her head looked like an alien off the Sigourney Weaver film and an onion, and she had loads of the old SPX trainer logos floating around on her cardi. Mental.

Thankfully my fella rebooked me for some time in the week after work. The meeting should be an hour and half. Had he come in, he might as well have waterboarded me. Nana Alien Onion-Head? Interesting.
AoWW Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 How to replace a headlight bulb on a Peugeot Pop down to Halfords.
SystonFox Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Pop down to Halfords. And get ripped off! DIY that shizz
Raw Dykes Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Pop down to Halfords. Does anyone actually get them to fit anything at all? They wanted to charge me £80 to fit a car stereo. I thought I'd give it a go myself. Took me about half an hour.
lavrentis Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 A mechanic told me to avoid Halfords like the plague, rip off apparently.

AoWW Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 And get ripped off! DIY that shizz But I'd break my nails.

Daggers Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 I've just learnt that burger-flippers never get over being shown up for being the half-sharp, limited homophobes they are. You have to wonder what little the thing has going on in it's life for it to be such a pathetic fvck. Brilliant, I'm so delighted it is still all bitter and twisted after so long.

Oh god, i'm being referred to as an "it". Such a penetrating insult, I don't know how i'll ever recover.
The Doctor Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Colin Firth makes a great Mr Darcy. His inability to express emotion is perfect for that role.

Took me about half an hour. £7 to fit a replacement battery in bitter freezing cold in November when I was wearing a suit was a bargain.
