@bjerky, it's actually the name of the lead character from a series of stories i started writing with a friend at uni. now i tend to use it as a catch-all internet name for forums and email. if i ever get around to writing the full novels and have them published i'll be sure to send you an autographed copy

make sure you come to melbourne - much better than sydney, and cheaper too (not to mention the spiders are less dangerous).

You dont want to go to Melbourne. They are a bit backwards, they drive badly and they like to kill a bit of tourist for food... unless you decide to watch tennis, there's absolutely no reason to go to Melbourne.
There are a couple of places to upgrade your phone in Sydney. But gelfen was about right - silverwater might be the closest one? There are others located in Artarmon and Parramatta. |

Oi! I'm from Melbourne!
Where is the one in Parramatta? I live in Baulkham Hills (when I am back home) and didn't know there was one there. Met my wife in Parramatta actually:-)

well then, i suppose paramatta might just scrape in as acceptable
as for sydney, well there's really nothing to recommend it other than a few obligatory landmarks. melbourne is the sporting, artistic and cultural capital of australia. sydney might be a bit more flashy, but melbourne has the substance. and better weather.
for those non-aussies reading this, there is a rather pronounced sydney-melbourne rivalry. it's mostly just a sydney inferiority complex after melbourne was made the national capital before canberra was built. 
@morbo, there's always the chance someone might want to see the Australian Open golf, Formula 1 Grand Prix, AFL Grand Final, Melbourne Cup and Spring Racing Carnival. oh darn, i forgot that sydney has thugby.
