I'd have a bit of a boyish wrestle in the surf with him.
Jeez I've mentioned a few men lately I find hansom.

Kings Cross. You can walk up and down the grimy Darlinghurst Rd in a matter of minutes, blink and you'll miss it.

I dont think Kings Cross is rated in the first place.

Most Australians seem convinced that its the global Mecca for crime and hookers.

"Global Mecca" might be a bit of a stretch. Either way the drugs, hookers and clubs are all overrated as many backpackers soon discover - I was one of them.

in all fairness, it would be an ELC in somewhere a bit grim like croydon, as opposed to somewhere posh like abbingdon.
