Pop goes Canberra has produced her hot or not list for winter with some controversial choices.

She’s given Ardeche in Civic a kicking which personally I think is way off base. I think they’re great.

While jelly-wrestling, VY?

I was disappointed because I didn’t read about anywhere where patrons eat food out of a communal trough.

Not a bad effort, for someone who obviously hasn’t ventured out of ‘central canberra’

Hence they are built and not dug….

Never mind.

Well its pretty sexist at the moment as most buildings are shaped like males..

You could make a city sexy by making all of the buildings shaped like women. Or is that sleazy? Hmm, it’s a fine line.

I thought Wadeye was the sexiest ‘city’ in Australia?

Having a further look around the site in question, the ramblings of the author have about as much credibility as myspace.

“OMG!!11! HI2U! i m teh kewl intarnet jurnalist!”

yes melbourne is cool… but I fail to see how a city is sexy… it’s an inanimate mass of concrete/metal/noxious gas… people can have sex appeal because of biological triggers and so on… but I don’t think I could ever pitch my tent over a city.

I love Melb but what’s with the Today Tonight, Delta and reality tv worship and the public transport bashing? She’s a bloody twat.

So did I. Who is this dribbling, borderline retard anyway? How the hell did she become an arbiter of public taste?

Oh…she’s not. I see. I’m sure Ardeche are quaking in their boots at the thought of this moron and her insightful review of their “icky” food. I had their rabbit confit – and I thought it was pretty damn good.

Ardeche is only nominally French – Modern French, I suppose. If I wanted classic French, I’d go to Christophe’s.

I read the rest of the website and I despise this person… are real people that stupid

if she wants spunk she should go to fyshwick…. that place is drenched with love spunk…

How about a little analysis of the food – beyond “tasty”.

As for Gus’ – bleah. Yeah, the staff are sexy, but God forbid they’d do something demeaning like…say…serve a customer…

Thumper gets the nail on the head award. I wasn’t aware that “spunk” was a recognised term of reference for restaurant reviews. Using it repeatedly will not make it catch on either.

I’ve had some great dinners at Ardeche too. One really good new year’s eve. I’ll tell you though – when you’ve had a fair few champagnes, those restaurants where all the glass walls look like doors are a bit of a worry…..

agreed… that’s ridiculous.

Interesting she mentions the good-looking staff in her reviews of four of her five new hot places. Just saying.
