Canberra looks like a dump...

I resent that remark, I take the time every weekend to wax and polish the rusty Camira that’s up on blocks in my front yard.

Surely you meant ‘white commodore’?

Nah, that’s my “formal” car – I use it for drink driving.

Christchurch may be temporarily in that category too, but they’ve got a legitimate excuse…

Is that really necessary?

Well, no, but New Zealanders are generally a very proud lot and are unlikely to make it permanent.

One thing I have noticed walking along Marcus Clarke and London Circuit in the city is that people seem to be ‘sick’ along those streets quite a bit. Or has it always been that bad and the cleaning fairies have just stopped cleaning it up?

Where, or how, did you dream up that crazy idea?!

Just look at the weeds growing in and around Commonwealth Bridge. Canberra is quite shabby these days both on public and private land.

Canberran’s seem not to care about their lawns, gardens or homes appearance in general.

I for one think it’s because most haven’t had to landscape their property themselves and couldn’t give two sh!ts about the appearance of their homes.

I spent two years landscaping my front and back yard and now have a lot of appreciation for the appearance of my home and I wanted to show some respect to my neighbours and the value of their homes.

as the graffiti in Flynn says;”It’s a Belco world”

My wife and I went for lunch last Sunday at HaHa bar in Belconnen, to celebrate our anniversary. I couldn’t believe the tip that was the area surrounding it, and all of the other shops. Rubbish everywhere – and it looked like it wasn’t just the rubbish from one busy Saturday night, it looked like the area hadn’t been cleaned in a month. It was the first time I’d been to any of the restaurants or bars down there, and it left a pretty bad impression. Certainly not what I’m used to when heading to the shops around Canberra.
