yes. i can smell fresh sea air and have a seat on the train in rush hours. and there's a beach with hot guys in speedos just a ferry away straight from my skyscraper office. i wake up to the sound of cockatoos and kookaburras, and see rainbow coloured birds pestering the customers at a city cafe. i see big green lush trees and fields, big open spaces. i can walk around playing with my phone without fear of anyone snatching it away. and i can walk fast through the sidewalks without an umbrella or wellies.
yes i live in Sydney, the most populated city in Oz.

I live miles away from the nearest "city", when the sun goes down all I hear is badgers shagging, cows calling and foxes killing chickens.... I drove to work the day before yesterday and didn't see another car all the way there, the job was 18 miles away.
The people who complain the most about British weather are generally people who never have to work outside, doing my job, or any other outdoor manual work in 40-50 degree heat is hell on earth, we take no pleasure in it so whats not to like?

Anyway, I see Australia have won another gold, this time in kayaking. It takes them higher than the Netherlands now.

I actually stared at the TV for ages before I began to question if this was the best way to spend my time, staring at flailing women in a dirty green lake in London go round and round and round and round......
