Melbourne: "best city in the world"!! WHICH world!!

... But they are definitely wrong about the weather. Melbourne is a dog for weather.

Why do you think so, patiodog?

I see!

Well I broke down in East St. Louis
On the Kansas City Line.
I drunk up all my money
That I borrowed every time.
And I fell down at the derby,
Now the nights are black as coal.
It must have been a train that took me away from here
But a train can't bring me home.

WHAT'S THIS? MELBOURNE'S BEST

Quote:

Melbourne has retained its position as the best city in the world to call home FROM.

Often derided as Bleak City by Sydneysiders, Melbourne topped a survey of 130 cities, narrowly beating out the other four Australian capitals surveyed - because its weather rated the best.

Corrupt and bankrupt government. No services. Sewer backing up into the streets.

I'm sure most of them agreed.

No worries. You can feel free to ignore me when I spout gibberish, if it pleases you. I won't take offense. (Likely, I'll just understand that it's time to shut up...)
