For those from Western Sydney burbs (1 Viewer)

[WTF!bbq]

Just to refresh my memory, for EE2. I used to live in Fairfield but it's been a long while since I've gone back and gotten the feel of the place, also, I lived in the same house for about 13 years so I'm running low on variety. Thanks in advance!

A few things:
The suburb you live in
Best / worst things about it
Is it a safe place?
Is it multicultural?
Do the neighbours keep to themselves or interact a fair bit?
General age/career groups and socio-economic status of your area?

Thanks again dudes

Hey - thanks for the sterotypical conclusions!

Heres an equally sterotypical answer:

- Penrith

- Best things : Plenty of fights / alcohol / socio-economic disadvantage

- Worst things : "Dem city cunts" / Muslims / Lines at Centrelink

- Is it a safe place : Hell no! Why else would you deliberately ask? Dragons roam the streets at night while bridge passing is supervised due to an influx of trolls.

- Is it multicultural : Whats mUlTiCuLtUrAl? mEaN?

- Do the neighbours keep to themselves..: Depending on whether there is fighting / alcohol to fight over / if the Muslims across the road are out / lines at Centrelink.

- Socio-economic status of area : Shithouse.

Hope that helped.

Best / worst things about it:

Best: Has alot of necessity shops, plenty of transport and a very family based area.

Is it multicultural?: Yes

Do the neighbours keep to themselves or interact a fair bit?: My neighbours interact a fair bit.

General age/career groups and socio-economic status of your area?: Alot of the elderly

LOL! No problem! Next time I spend 14 years of my life in Fairfield I'll try to take in the glory a bit more. For the record there are a lot of things I love about the west that make me want to move back there.
At the same time, I'll say I feel immensely safer where I am now than I did before (to use an example from my list of questions) but that's not been the case with everybody I talked to (including a bunch of buddies from my old school). Do you feel threatened if I ask you whether you're right walking around at night? Do you think perhaps some people - 16 year old females, like myself, for instance - don't? Or, just maybe, if they do?
The point is, I'm all for a full scope of answers. And I myself have lived in places with friendly neighbours and with grumpy silent ones, rich people, poor people (us being the poor people living next door to the rich ones, for instance), apartment buildings where 3/4 the neighbours were Spanish, as well as quite varied "multicultural" places, so to speak. Also I don't have a problem with Muslims (or Centrelink), although I suspect you might have some underlying issues, and anyway you sound retarded even bringing that up. But thanks for the answers! Penrith sounds like mad fun. :wave:

On a lighter note, thanks to the people who responded without their eyeballs exploding.

Lollers.

Far from my eyeballs exploding - I was bored and wanted a rise out of someone who seemed vunerable. Thank you for validating what I thought would've been a waste of time.

:wave:

P.S. Penrith does suck.

Im sure dear algard would rather live in ancient times. His brother would be Plutarch and Xenophon his cousin. A collaboration of physique, intelligence and criticism. He would Superceed the greats of the era. He would be so holy that he would ascend into heaven to be seated at the right hand of the father.

Algard - " Debens? who the fuck would be so primitve as to use a syphillis infested currency. Why, we need to run with the times. We shall never be able to gain global dominance and the most powerful empire. An empire so powerful! That God himself would not cross paths with its collosal figure"

God - " who the fuck does this little impotent atheist think he is? The architect? I granted him clemency and he spat in my face. Horrid desolate Creten. Jesus died for him, and he'd rather think about having adulterous relations with Hamlet. a "fag", for lack of a better word, is an unnatural being that was raped as a child."

What Eventuates: *Hairy hand of God squelches the little intellect as he squirms and asks for help from the heathen gods.*

Evaluation: Beneficial kill for the Godhead.

Amen: " "
