No he isn't there's loads of them, although they're not a problem only when they decide to ride next to each other chatting and blocking the road.

Cas is talking about things to do/nightlife, rather than bike riding.

I did say, asked for restaurant recommendations. I stayed at the Vibe Savoy, which was fab, and in the evening I went out to the Italian bit and ate outside at this fab place... It was so busy. Found a bar and had loads of cocktails and fell into bed pleasantly drunk at around 2am.
Love Melbourne... Great city.

You may say you love Melbourne, but you're always moaning about not being able to get out, no money, bad house, Aussie trademen, car drivers, service ...

But you forget I've loved Melbourne since 2000 and didn't live here until 2005 and it's only since then that I haven't had the money to enjoy it.

Besides you've seen my house and know that I have a right to moan about it and the tradesman who built it.

Ok....maybe you've found it's different living here, as oppose to holidaying.

Don't take it personally...I know you love the place....just an observation...just don't see many positive posts from you these days

I'll grant you....you are right about your house.

I'm not taking it personally, but of course I've found it different living here to holidaying, I spent $2500 in a week here, last year I earned less than that, you don't have to be a genius to work it out, hence you should be able to
