Brisbane is ok. Its not really known for anything I can really think of... Its the city featured in Inspector Gadget 2... ok not exciting...
We have a good club scene. One of our clubs was voted best in Australia, which is pretty good considering Sydney has some wicked clubs (most of those ones are ghey though...)
Oh, I know, Brisbane is the home of the CROCODILE HUNTER, Steve Irwin.

Manchester
Most famous for copious ammounts of rain that fall upon it\'s streets, and famous to a lesser extent for being the city in which the worlds first computer was built.
It\'s also infamous (albeit rather embarrasingly) as the home to Manchester United, the worlds greatest footballing exploiter of it\'s own fans.

Definately. I love Chi town food. I have had a lot of different foods in NY but i dont know, I guess im just biased since i live here. A lot of the stuff thats really good is so damn fatty it\'ll clog up some arteries in a wink. Meh who cares, lifes short enough.
