Here's a question for the Aussies: Does the term 'budgie smuggler' refer to the style of underwear, or the bulge? Or both?

Budgie smuggler refers to the type of swimsuit, ie. speedos. I guess because it makes guys look like the have a small bird shoved down the bathers. Actually, despite many a heated conversation, Mr Y is a huge fan of the budgie smuggler. Apparently, unlike board shorts, they let you run through the waves with ease and don't billow. They still look fug though. And as to the pic of Bec Hewitt that micedvolvo posted, um, wtf? A bikini-top top with capris and a hat thingy? Ew. She's got money - put it to good use. ETA: Bec's been fugged.

Who is that woman and what the hell is she wearing?
::tosses phone at faces of good-natured Aussies::
EDIT: My boyfriend was rescued by two young, female lifeguards after swimming out past the markers at Bondi. Does this earn me any cred? He's English.
Does anyone have any recs for good stuff (mostly restos) in Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane? (Yossarian has filled me in properly on the Sydney scene)

Am I the only person in Australia completely underwhelmed by the Melbourne Cup? I join in the festivities because that's what everyone else does (independent thinker that I am), but if such a big deal wasn't made out of it, I don't think I'd notice. I was a bit disappointed that an Aussie didn't win. I'm not quite sure why foreigners are allowed in our Cup Day. Ummm, I think I'll go and fill out that application to join One Nation now. fairfox, what sort of stuff are you interested in? I can recommend some stuff in the West End, which is a greenie/arty sort of area, but the City I'm not so familiar with. The Family in the valley is good to go to if you want to take drugs and dance to loud music and make out with people you've never met, the Vic and the Stocky in the city are good place to go and get really drunk, Downunder Bar is good if you want to go meet foreigners . . . as far as eating out goes, I'll have to do a bit of think about that. I'm usually too busy shovelling food down my throat to actually taste any of it. I'm not sure how helpful that actually was, but I'll do a bit of a think and get back to you.

Beatle - mostly restos or places pretentious English snobs would be interested in (not me - the bf, he is in AUS for work). He lives in London and becomes dramatically, hilariously horrified if he goes anywhere that doesn't have the amenities of London. But yeah, mainly restaurants. And bars populated by only men and/or 80+ yr old women. Thanks for replying!
