Yeah...beaches in sydney...like the ones you were just listing that AREN'T in sydney...

Well the beaches in Sydney aswell as the Harbour Bridge and Opera House is what people recognise overseas. What do touros do when they first get here..... go to Bondi. All you have to do for Sydney in ads is show em the beach and people flock here.
What do Melbourne do, show some girl chasing a giant ball of wool around the city:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow, someone else that actually doesn't like going to the Beach. I hate the beach tbh.

Spoken by someone who's clearly never left Sydney, as I said.

But why would you want to go to the beach anyway? All that sand, and those orifices...yuck.

That stretch of beaches is unlike another in the world and that's just in Sydney. You can go outside of Sydney to the north and south and find the best stretch of beaches anywhere in the world.

-Comparatively, Shire-ites experience this feeling in crossing Tom Ugly's. (For the ignorant: Tom Ugly's links the Shire with civilisation)

Except for the fact that to the north of sydney is swamps and mangroves and to the south is cliffs...

Was it you that failed geography?

Bells Beach may be great but the unending stretch of beaches from one end of Sydney to the other is unlike anywhere else in the World. If you want to extend it then the stretch of beaches from the top of NSW to the bottom is the same nowhere else in the world does a coast have beaches like we do.

If only the Pasha Bulka was still there:lol:

We have more coal

That paragraph in itself is an oxymoron "We don't give a fuck about the sydney melbourne debate. Sydney's the best" - if you didn't give a fuck, you wouldn't bring it up.

Immigrants =/= 'tourists'.

Spoken by someone who's never been to Bell's beach on a summer day, clearly.

Bullshit.
It's because you have no reasons as to why Sydney is better than Melbourne.

-Where do tourists go when they come to Australia....Sydney

- We have the best stretch of beaches in the world(I reckon we would win on this point alone)

Bullshit.
It's because you have no reasons as to why Sydney is better than Melbourne.

You truly think Sydney should be the capital. And rightly so. Furthermore, you grew up in Sydney if you don't give a F**K about the Sydney/Melbourne debate, because unlike Melbournians, we don't feel the need to justify our city's worthiness...we just know it's the shit.

Half those are applicable to anywhere in australia.

-You were there:"And the winner is....SYDE-NEY!". And where do I start with the 2000 Olympics? (Not to mention the 4 years' build-up prior)

-You know not to try getting a taxi anywhere near the 3am changeover time.

-You've walked the city streets looking for a taxi (in a drunken mess) at the 3am changeover time.

-You couldn't find a taxi at 3am, so you went to Pancakes on the Rocks instead

-If you live on the Northern Beaches, crossing the
bridge is for special occasions only, and a mission at that.

-Comparatively, Shire-ites experience this feeling in crossing Tom Ugly's. (For the ignorant: Tom Ugly's links the Shire with civilisation)

-You've hugged the "free hugs" guy who spreads the love at Pitt St Mall

-You know the dude who stands at the corner or George and Market Streets outside Myer, pleading for money for his "Supreme Court Trial".

-You're familiar with the old guy who sells those material bracelets around Town Hall & outside the George St cinemas. But never bought one.

-You know who the "Chasers" are.

-You'd like to be chased by the Chasers (unless you're a right wing freak and have something to be ashamed of)

-You've never done bridge climb, and you're never planning on it.

-NIGHTRIDE!

-"At night, rave near the guard's compartment, naked with a blue light" means something to you.

-You went on multiple school camps at Narrabeen

-In what could only be described as some form of punishment, you went on a school camp to Canberra, complete with visit to Parliament House and that damn lake with the big fountain. Thanks to this trip, however, we know never to bother going to Canberra AGAIN.

-The best trips were always the school camps to Jindabyne!

-Still on school: you grew up in Sydney if a pedophile and kiddy fiddler disguised as a giraffe who called himself "Harold" visited your primary school under the pretence of sexual education. Hello, he had a van; With no windows. Blindingly obvious he was a fiddler.

-"No hat no play" being drilled into your head made you the UV-aware person that you are today.

-You can understand just what the train guards are saying on the PA announcements (For the record, it's usually: Stand clear, doors closing")

You haven't been to the zoo, except on a primary school excursion where you threw stuff at the animals. (or alternatively.. zoo? what zoo?)

-You know if you went to Scruffy Murphy's, you should either (a) hang your head down in shame or (b) never tell a soul you were there...

-You've never seen Kings Cross in daylight.. unless its on your way home. Same goes for Taylor Square and that stretch of grass near the fountain, otherwise known as "Trash Island". And the adjacent fountain, "The Communal Douche"

-You've swum in the fountain at King's Cross

-A trip to Mt. Druitt warrants a pillow in the car

-You don't like Bondi, but would choose Tamarama, Bronte, or any of the Northern Beaches any day. Maybe not Cronulla if you're anything other than Anglo-Saxon.

-You know that the "Bra Boys" are anything BUT cross-dressers.

-You can pronounce and spell the following:
Coogee, Woolloomooloo, Wollongong, Parramatta, Woronora, Warrawee, Wahroonga, Waitara, Yagoona

-You know that Turramurra and Tamarama are two different places.

-You know what "Glamarama" is actually the name for. And you know why.

-The sight of drag queens does not phase you.

-If the train is expected in ten minutes or less you figure CityRail is having a good day!

-The beauty of the harbour does not surprise you

-Riding the ferry is not for leisure or pleasure, but a mode of transport.

-However...You don't even use the ferry as a form of transport because its too frickin' slow.

-You know what tzatziki, baklava, hommous, yum-cha, pad thai, dolmades, tabbouleh and pide are and you've eaten all of them.

-You know how to say hello (and possibly some swear words) in at least one language other than English. Most likely Croat/Serb/Bosnian/Macedonian, Greek, Arabic and possibly Indonesian or Chinese.

-You've ever "studied" for exams at the State Library

-You wanted to kick that stupid man dressed in a donkey suit in Pitt St Mall.

-Many weekends include a wait to meet someone at Town Hall Steps.

-You see a guy wearing pink, and don't automatically think he's gay

-You treat Baristas like they are your dealer. Coffee is your drug.

-You've heard the following uttered from a dog statue: "Hello my name is Isley, I was once the dog of the great Queen Victoria........If you toss a coin in I will thank you. Thank you. Woof Woof!"

-You NEVER catch the monorail and think it's a useless, expensive-to-catch piece of crap. "Class A" waste of space. After all, it's not an episode of "the Simpsons", is it? ("Monorail....Monorail....MONORAIL!").

-You know it might be quicker to walk from Central to Circular Quay at any given time than catch a bus down George St or a train

-You know where all the 24-hour drinking establishments are. Bar Ace and Maloney's are but two (albeit dive bars, you can always rely on them for a drink.)

-You're scared that when you walk past Town Hall steps at any given time, two dozen emo children are going commit mass suicide, declaring "It's a cruel, cruel world, maaaan"

-You think: what is it with P-Plated Subaru WRXs on George St Friday and Saturday nights. And Industrie shirts with the collars up.

-Fireworks just don't get you excited anymore. (Come on people, we have them for ANY thing). And just in case anyone is thinking of doubting this fact, here's a short list of the occasions for which the City of Sydney has/ has had fireworks.
-Australia Day (Granted)
-Anzac Day
-NYE (times 2)
-The Sydney Harbour Bridge's birthday
-Queen's Birthday
-ANZAC Day
-When the QE2 departed Sydney Harbour (yay, let's fanfare a bunch of people who could afford $100,000 + for a cruise and spend taxpayers' money doing it!)
-The Easter Show...oh not just one night, but each and every night!
-Chinese New Year
and, my all time favourite reason for fireworks,
-The Australian Idol Grand Finale (EVERY YEAR!!!).
-Football Games (mainly Origin or Finales)
-NEW for 2007: APEC Summits. Only on the condition that we, as Sydneysiders whose money is being spent on them, don't look at them.

- You know what happens at "The Gap", and what used to happen at "The Wall"


-The Easter Show is something that's only okay to go to until you're 16, and only after that if you're taking your OWN kids.

-You think Showbags at the Show are a waste of money

-It's not called the Underground, the metro, the tube or the subway, but it's just called "the train".

-"God's Country??" What is this, like a Lord of the Rings film or something? Please, Shire, you make us weep with pity.

-You've been to at least one "Big Day Out"

-You drank in Hyde Park, underage,on at least one year of the Mardi Gras.

-You know it's pronounced Circular "Key" not "Kway"

-You hate the State Labor Government, but somehow they still keep getting elected. They promise change; it doesn't come. Then they get re-elected.

-You wear a scarf/gloves/beanie/puffer jacket when the temperature hits below 18 degrees.

-You've accepted the (annoying) rule that no thongs are allowed to be worn into clubs. But you'll always try to sneak in anyway. Or beg.

-You have just accepted that all bouncers are pricks.

-You laugh when people say they're from "The Shire".

-You think people from "The Shire" are inbred, parochial freaks.

-You know what I mean when I say "The Shire"

-You say "Wog" and don't think of it as derogatory. And neither do the wogs around whom you say it.

-If you live in the Western suburbs, a night out in the City is a big deal. So much so, that you're forced to get a HOTEL room in which to stay the night...hahaha.

-If you live in the City, you'd never go into the suburbs.

-You know you're from Sydney when the bigoted comments about or from the Shire Hobbits/Race Rioters, The Westie Bogans, North Shore Conservatives, Northern Beaches Surfies, Inner West Yuppies/ faux hippies and Eastern Suburbs Princesses/Coke Whores no longer phase you... because we are all as bad and self righteous as each other.

AND FINALLY;
You truly think Sydney should be the capital. And rightly so. Furthermore, you grew up in Sydney if you don't give a F**K about the Sydney/Melbourne debate, because unlike Melbournians, we don't feel the need to justify our city's worthiness...we just know it's the shit.

Only touros do that.

It's like the ferry. If you're from Sydney you know it's slow and useless:lol:

Climb the bridge.

A root?? :cool:

How's it goin with that girl?

Only guys who have insecurities about their own, obsess over penises.

I left one of my final assignments on the desk in yr12 and before I handed it in one of my mates decided to "snazz" it up a little. I returned to find he'd added a nice border to the first page, a border made up entirely of different sized and shaped penises. I didn't have time to change it so just dumped it on the teachers desk while he looked at me rather strangely.
