Blah!
Not being a wowser, but sticking it to Footscray like that is so old hat. Boring, trite and quite frankly way out of date! It's a great place that I know extremely well. Always misrepresented by swarmy eastern suburbs types who if they admitted it hadnt been there in a decade, if at all.
My funniest places in Melbourne however are; High St Armadale, Chapel St South Yarra, Toorak Rd Toorak. People watching there is a side splitter. Anyone watch that 'Real Housewives of Melbourne' show? Those women actually exist (& in there hundreds). Hysterical !!

Well you look so cute in your Levis suit
Struttin' down Collins Street
With your Pucci shoes and your faded blues
Honey you look so neat

You dress so well no one could tell
You spend Thursdays with your mechanic
Suburban passion it's all the fashion
Your husband don't need to panic

Mercedes Ladies they got it made
Cos when they dig they use a silver spade
Mercedes Ladies....Mercedes Ladies
Mercedes Ladies....Mercedes Ladies

You look so smug on your Persian rug
Say your Afghan's got a pedigree
You rest your head on your antique bed
And talk about your arts degree

You act so cool by your heated pool
And take your lunch at three
Own half a boutique that's oh so chic
And work hard for charity

Mercedes Ladies they look so sweet
Cos they get a facelift 'bout twice a week
Mercedes Ladies....Mercedes Ladies
Mercedes Ladies....Mercedes Ladies

You knew there's only one thing better than a 250S
And that's a 280SL or a 280SE and there's only one thing better
Than a 350SL and that's a 280CE or a 350SLC or a 300SEL V8

Take pottery classes and you make passes
At every young man you find
Recapture your youth oh ain't it the truth
That you're just one of a kind

You could be left or you could be right
Or you might just vote for kicks
But you're the perfect wife in a perfect life
I won't bore you with politics

Mercedes Ladies they got it made
Cos when they dig they use a silver spade
Mercedes Ladies....Mercedes Ladies
Mercedes Ladies....Mercedes Ladies

What's the number who wash?

As for me I wash regularly, once a month whether I need to or not.
23 hey? Wow, they are all in my family then, go me!

Wash? I'm the cleanest bastard you'll ever meet.

I live in the spa, the pool, the other spa! The bath, the shower, me loves water. And scotch, tonight, scotch!

Cheers

Ego is not a dirty word
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
