    Australia's Most Boring (Dull) City

    I've got a mate who lived in Perth WA and we are constantly bickering as to whether Perth is more boring than Brisbane. So hopefully this poll will settle the issue.
    I've not been to Perth but he assures me it is even more boring than Bris-vegas which I cannot believe because I lived/worked in Brisbane and have to say it was the dullest place I've ever been, but hey, that's just my opinion.

    Australia' Most Boring City?

    Voted Bris-vegas only because i've experienced the mind numbing dullness of the place first hand.

    Boring is as boring does. Boring is in the eye of the beholder. Only boring people get bored. I dont understand boredom, I dont have time to be bored. I wish I did have enough spare time on my hands to be bored.....There is SO much to do and see but hey some people dont get pleasure from the simple things in life...I sure do. Id say Perth is an uncomplicated place for laid back people.

    Agree, I can't put which is the boring city/state, you should do a poll on which is the best (don't forget to add Cairns), then the one that doesn't get any votes you can say is the most boring lol x

    Imagine the scene .......... Aldo and chris meet up in a bar overlooking the sea at surfers.

    Aldo ............ god its boring here and this beers too cold.
    Chris ........... Its sunny again out side, i hate it.
    Aldo ............ You know the sun gives you cancer.
    Chris ........... I know thats why i never go outside, i hate it.
    Aldo ............ Why did you move to Queensland from Geelong then.
    Chris ........... So i could moan about it.
    Aldo ............ Fair do's that why i didn't try anywhere else, if i found out it was great, i wouldn't be able to moan.
    Chris ........... that beach and sea looks horrible, all sandy and wet.
    Aldo ............ i know look at those Aussies enjoying themselves, they are so shallow.
    Chris ........... I hate those surfer dudes, they kicked sand in my face and laughed at me.
    Aldo ............ They ducked my head under the water and gave me a wedgy, i really hate em.
    Chris ........... God i'm bored.
    Aldo ............ I bet i'm more bored than you.
    Chris ........... Its almost 8 pm, my mum said i have to be in bed for 8.
    Aldo ............ Well everywhere shuts at 8pm anyway.
    Chris ........... Night Aldo ......... god i hate Australia.
    Aldo ............ I hate Australia more.
    Chris ........... See you on Brits Abroad, god i'm gonna moan on there.
    Aldo ............ I bet i moan more than you.
    Chris ........... But i still live here, i have more to moan about.
    Aldo ............ Fair do's i can feel your pain and suffering brother.
    Chris ........... Do you think anyone believes us that Australia is crap.
    Aldo ............ I doubt it, we always get caught out, because of that peacock and Hoff, i wish the mods would ban them, so we can just moan about everything without them two hassling us.
    Chris ........... I know Aldo i'm running out of negative stuff to say about Australia and the uk's gone to the dogs.
    Aldo ............ I know thats why i didn't go back and went to Spain instead.
    Chris ........... We need some new material, i keep repeating the same stuff over and over, even i'm fed up with it.
    Aldo ............ I have just had a brain wave, i will start a poll thread about Australias most boring city.
    Chris ........... Brilliant Aldo, won't the HOFF and peacock know we haven't been to most of them.
    Aldo ............ Its all i've got ......... you never come come up with any good stuff do you.
    Chris ........... Sorry Aldo.

    It is a difficult question to answer really, I voted Perth because it would be the second last place in the world I would live, just ahead of Baghdad. I couldn't stand the isolation and being so backward and behind the times. I wouldn't be there long enough to get bored though.
    Soon to be back in the undisputed NUMBER 1 country in the world.....ENGLAND.
