With enough forward planning, sometimes not even that, you can get a decent room in the CBD for what I paid for this place in a fairly non descript location on the North Shore.

As for the 'whinging'...I wondered how long that would take, congrats, you win a prize!

What are you on about you silly man?

$400 in Sydney gets you a beautiful hotel room on Darling Harbour, with a water view, breakfast and probably enough left over for dinner.

I was thinking more along the lines of a nights lodging with some average wage earners in some outer suburb somewhere...should be an interesting night!

There was a woman on the radio a couple of months ago, moaning that there were people daring to live in Housing Association homes near her million dollar home on the coast.

'Why can't they be moved somewhere unimportant, like Penrith?' she asked.

I think Weebie could spend the day with her.

They're kindred spirits, obviously.

You should be ashamed of yourself. And both of those young men should wash their mouths out with soap. I for one am shocked and appalled at the language.
