In Belmont only the fit survive Damien as you well know

Roger that Valencia (and Micks Sandman). I might be a corporate wanker now, but will never forget where i came from. Maybe coming from a tough suburb sets us up for better things later on in life.

I went to a subdivision in Tamworth yesterday called Kingswood. Bit flasher than Kingswood in Sydney.

Are all Belmont suburbs, synonymous with Bogans and a specific socio economic climate? (Yes I'm trying to use big words to mask my inner Bogan)

The Belmont here probably used to be a bit rough in some areas, but today it is just part of the bigger city and has some very nice parts to it. The "Bogan" (for want of a better word) areas today are probably Windale/Gateshead West and West Wallsend/Holmesville/Barnsley although it is a bit unfair as I know some great people from these areas. Jennifer Hawkins is from Holmesville (media always stuffs it up when they say she was a Newcastle girl, not correct she is from Lake Macquarie).

Down fall? I don't have even a bulls roar enough hair for a mullet LMFAO

Haha, Belmont, Bogans, Corporate Wankers and Mullets (or lack thereof). It sounds like a movie plot.

Maybe Jennifer Hawkins could be the suffragette.

Are you sure you've left the corporate world mate. Just asking.

That wouldn't be too hard......

No, there's good people everywhere if you look hard enough.

This is a good group with things in common. Why wouldn't we help each other out? Just like the old van days....
