  Great read! I'm sure there must be more to London's message than "faint whispers of aristocracy" though, but maybe I've been here too long and can no longer hear it. I always thought it was about Creative Ambition...

  • ..that's very true if 'creative ambition' is a by-word for 'self-satisfied cunts'– lukus_W1/3

    or perhaps 'self-congratulatory cunts'.. I'm not quite sure.– lukus_W2/3

  Can anyone add their thoughts on the ambitions of Sydney and Melbourne as cities?

  You always hear is that Melbourne is for artistic and cultural ambitions and Sydney is for ambitions of power and commerce.

  Can anyone flesh these out a bit more with personal observations (rather than hearsay)?
