friends? good joke ;)

did you get out over the easter break?

also, some more advice, no public transport post 8pm on the broady line. its dangerous.

finally have pf back online at work...where ya at ash?

how is sunny melbourne going?

Australia / Secret gems (Good places to have a beer) in Melbourne Australia [20]


well, you will love e-55 or hells kitchen.

carlton is the university district.

artistic, try fitzroy, northcote, collingwood. trams 86 or 112.

there are shitloads of bars all over melbourne hidden in different nooks and crannies. you just walk around and find them.


hard to define.

i work in the city and live 20 mins train ride away. i would never call a place in the city my local, but the bar 5 mins from where i live i would call my local.

some people however would call the pub/bar they frequent their local.


here is a link to the pub (and forget about it being an irish pub, its just like any pub):

sorry guys (and gal), no longer get pf at work and gotta remember to check the site after work.

been to afl match yet ash?

get your man (if you have one, im not one for cryptic clues myself, very useless there) to take you to one.

try to answer some of the hilarity i have missed.

Australia / Secret gems (Good places to have a beer) in Melbourne Australia [20]


you've moved to broady? for serious? oh my gawd (said in best ethnic northern suburbs accent).


let me know what you think of it.

there is also e-55 on elizabeth st, good beer on tap, couches and laid back.


im probably alot older than your good self young lady.

already found a man?


hahaha...may have to try that one.

Australia / Secret gems (Good places to have a beer) in Melbourne Australia [20]


docklands hardly the slums, posh some may say.


pour the jokes on broady...just dont go looking for any ham.


i suggest starting from elizabeth street and walking up flinders lane and take the left alley opposite degraves. it is upstairs and you will have to fight your way through a haze of ciggie smoke.

who you going with?

id suggest catching up but not sure how i explain to my gf that im meeting up with a woman from the internerd.

Australia / Secret gems (Good places to have a beer) in Melbourne Australia [20]

back from the dead???...pity i have noticed at 11.25pm.

just quickly, are you heading out by yourself?


also, head to hells kitchen (google the address), in the words of eddie murphy's landlord in coming to america, "you'll love it, its real fu<ked up".

hows broady?

dobranoc.

too busy listening to craig david?

Australia / Secret gems (Good places to have a beer) in Melbourne Australia [20]

hahaha...ash, you should have posted this in your melb thread. ive been checking that for the last 4-5 days. hardly enter off topic.

what are your pre-requisites?

ambience, price, location, etc.

im sure places that i would frequent may not be up to the taste of others.

for your more common places transport is an okay place.

beer deluxe way over prices for mine.

my brother swears by the drunken poet near the vic mkt, happy hour on all beers from 5-7 on fridays.

me, i prefer places like e-55 and hells kitchen.

here is an okay site: barfinder.com.au

ps mods: can you please move this thread to the australian section in pf?

long hangover?

Love / 12 years of marriage my Polish wife still doubts me [74]

dude, if you're as much hard work in real life as on this forum then maybe you're beyond help.

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]


im not pie-cist, some of my best friends are magpie supporters.

no, the cats are the team. but you should really find one you identify with.


is that your sport of choice ;)


cmon, its fabio.


hahaha, you're getting it. ya gotta feel the hate, let it in.


it really depends aj. we were on water restrictions all of last year and our dams were falling to 20% and the sky was falling. and then it literally did. we have had the highest record of rain fall for the year and summer.

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]


why an insult?

finally after 6 months, the best game on earth returns.

and the shorts are no longer short.

the docklands. i thought you wanted the extra sleep and hence would move closer to broady.

and it isnt etihad, it is jihad stadium.


is this not the worst example of "how to do things"? can you imagine the the football worldcup dragging on over 2-3 months?

the only sport news worth following is afl. youtube it, will be confusing but a thrilling watch. maybe.

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]


still ugghhhh.


another bikie?? there are paths along the yarra and through carlton that i know of. you could always join the lyrca throng on saturday morning for the ride to mornington and back.

you can take a ferry from st kilda to williamstown. or get real adventurous and get the portsea to port arlington ferry.

not a big fan of halaal meat, so dont know much about kebabs. i prefer the lamb souvlaki's but the turkish bread, unfortunately they will never come together.

you dont need oil heaters in melbourne ;)

comedy festival coming up in april if thats your thing. most street festivals happen during the warmer months.

geelong cats, best afl team to support. but im guessing you seem more a magpies type!!!


broady? dallas? roxburgh park? fawkner? thommo?


i never get citylink so got no idea.

i think its a weakness of our public transport system as a whole. try hoddle st/punt rd at anytime. awful.

im shocked that places like doncaster, templestowe, donvale have no train station nearby.

where i live its not too bad, 2 tram lines and a train line. but the further out you're the further you're farked.

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]


ugggh, commercial areas, ugghhh.

if you're looking for decent factory outlets then head north to smith street. bridge rd used to be the ****, bit now its just chains saying they're factory outlets but charging the same as myer/david jones.

then again, whatever floats your boat.


you go girlfriend.


you will maybe have time to learn that you gotta carry an umbrella with ya at all times.

it is drizzling at the moment.


melbourne in general?

take a trip out to scumshine in the west, dandewog in the south east, frankston in the south east. in the words of eddie murphy's landlord in coming to america. you'll like it, its real ****** up.

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]

luxury apartment where?

what shopping strip?

and rain forecast tomorrow...the beauty of melbourne, perfect one day, shizen the next.

Work / Process and Resources to find a job in Poland for an IT professional [15]

well, people have asked where you're from. you haven't answered. is this being honest?

what country and what nationality would have some affect on your search.

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]

no, just rain belts.

Work / Process and Resources to find a job in Poland for an IT professional [15]



why keep dodging the q?

how can people help when you're not being honest?

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]


nae bother.

glad i could kind of help, just lucky that you decided on the norf.

ive no idea about the south side of the yarra.


yeah, it did sound more uk oriented.


nah, not the bummers.

i support geelong and thoroughly recommend impartial supporters to take them under the wing.

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]



is that a sydney-ism?

here is the timetable (20-30 min depending where you lay your head):
tt.metlinkmelbourne.com.au/tt/XSLT_TTB_REQUEST?command=direct&language=en&outputFormat=0&net=vic&line=02CRB_&project=ttb&itdLPxx_selLineDir=R&itdLPxx_selWDType=T0&sup=%20&count=1

if you want inner city living then Flemington, Kensington, norf melb are your best bets on that line.

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]


i take that back, there is a train line that runs up there but obviously no idea how close to where you're going.

and just remember no one travels to broady, everyone is travelling out of there.


you should be, she has ole skool charm does this girl.


i do remember that show. you must be of my vintage to remember it.

nearly as good as simon townsends wonderworld.

how ya go ashley?

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]


broady, thats hilarious.

well, there is your multicultural experience.

you'd need a car to get there.


busy on weekends but mid week should be quiet.


hahaha, there are even newer ones.

if ya want ole skool then there is a city circle tram that is free.

or live it up: tramrestaurant.com.au/en/

my middle name is lazy.

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]

im guessing you're either studying at rmit/la trobe?

is that where you are commuting?

fitzroy is far from multicultural or leafy and green but is diverse and arty and well serviced by pt.

also a good place to use as a base. plus only 15-20 min walk into the city.

you obviously been on gumtree to check prices and the like?


they look like this now (sorry, cant be arsed copying to my hard drive and then uploading pic):

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]

you mean literally?

Australia / Places to live in Melbourne... [36]

can no longer view pf at work, and my memory aint the best to remember to log on.

what are you looking for?

renting by yourself or with others?

how far out do you want to live?

you prefer a more snobby scene (south) or an alt scene (norf)?

im no big fan of south side and if i was giving advice id suggest innercity places like richmond, carlton, fitzroy.

if you prefer city locale then maybe south melbourne or east melbourne.

all these options are going to be very $$$$ though but you dont want to be too far out.
