I notice the extra weight I've put back on especially carrying all mum's goods and chattels on my shoulder.<br /><br />Miles, I would dearly love to vent but the 'ventee' loves to tell tales for sympathy so I'm being obnoxiously nice.<br /><br />Robbert I must admit when I went to the city after years I hardly recognised anything. As for new dunnies at Flinders Street, about time. You had to be desperate to use the old ones that I remember.<br /><br />Geez Stacks, I thought they were getting rid of the hack buskers, only letting the talented do it but then Robert Doyle doesn't look like he has taste. They'd have arrested you if you'd stuck your brolly in his wheel.<br />Anyway when did this begging caper start on our city streets?JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-90552057673413595952010-10-25T18:20:08.340+11:002010-10-25T18:20:08.340+11:00Ever since I can remember there's been cranes ...Ever since I can remember there's been cranes on the skyline. Melbourne is a city constantly being built and rebuilt. You can have a drink in a pub one day and next day it's a vacant lot.<br />I don't go into the city much, fourth time now in twenty years. Last Saturday I looked at Fed Square for the first time. A brick wall, pure commerce. Flinders Station has a new dunny, makes me laugh remembering the old one. And the cattle are moved up escalators. Up and down. They look nervy, sitting on the platforms. Governments like them that way. Constant change keeps them unsettled, obedient; don't let anything get too loved. Historic buildings are demolished, new races appear, and hardly a murmur. <br />Re-naming Spencer Street Station, and thoughts of re-naming St Kilda Road (just as absurd) continue the process, unsettle the populace. Lower middle-class dullards jumped up in affluence, are given cafes, given excitement. And all around them their heritage is destroyed. <br />Cities are alienating, they say so themselves. But of course they are, they rely on it. Cities are a beast, a great swallowing monster. Sucker domes, the death of affection.R.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04639593801088008224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-29564081484175949152010-10-25T08:24:27.117+11:002010-10-25T08:24:27.117+11:00Well maybe you're right.

Half-wits with accountants, mission statements. The lord mayor who eats like a pig on public money likes seeing it thrown in the streets. Vienna has buskers so we'll have them too. That's culture, he says. And beggars, that's culture too, old world charm: dirty bastards infesting Europe for centuries, we'll lay them on as well. <br />A woman trailed me along the Yarra bank one night (while her pimp sat and watched) saying how poor she was. I was hoping she'd follow me onto the bridge so I could throw her off. Hell, I've taken risks for money, why would I hand it out to hobos sitting on their arses? <br />Beggars are like advertisers, unnecessary and a fucking nuisance. <br />I'd boot them up the arse but it's always well protected.R.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04639593801088008224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-6636035763606207722010-10-24T22:24:29.482+11:002010-10-24T22:24:29.482+11:00I've used my blog entirely for venting lately....I've used my blog entirely for venting lately....<br /><br />Try being cryptic - works for me!Miles McClaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335102965842725449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-31957876257886696082010-10-24T21:35:52.490+11:002010-10-24T21:35:52.490+11:00JahTeh; I got out my street directory and ruler to...JahTeh; I got out my street directory and ruler to measure up how far I'd have to walk to do 6kms a day.

(Special mention to that cowering weasal and feminists fanny rag: MARK "It's donation time again" BAHNISCH!)<br /><br />Off to the Concours d'Elegance (what bullshit) & Classic Motor Show today at The Exhibition Building. I got into the city by train, and then expecting tram stops to be at intersections I waited at Bourke and Swanston Streets and the bloody thing sailed straight past me; the stop was further up Bourke Street would you believe, what a joke, fucking stupid city! That's what I said, walking in the rain up Bourke Street. I wasn't going to have a smoke all day but that buggered it, I stood there at the stop and lit one up. A busker in a wheelchair (microphone and all) was crooning "It's Raining in My Heart". Someone had tossed him ten cents.<br /> <br />Well darlings if this country gets any more ridiculous euthanasia will be rewarded.
