most liveable city for 2nd year in a row

Adelaide?? Who the F*CK would want to live in Adelaide?

i thought the same thing

It's a nice place.

Where'd you hear that? Someone was having you on.

I have been there many times.

You must be easily pleased. That's what they say about you at Gaylord isn't it?

Perth and Adelaide are the nicest cities in Australia by panels. Of all the other cities, the only one with anything going for it is Melbourne, the sporting capital of the world.

Sydney is quite nice too.

I have never been to Gaylord school.

I'm not sure they are even cities. Just a loose collection of unremarkable buildings populated by a diverse group of misfits and inadequates.

Toronto & Calgary? Liveable for skiers & polar bears. Dont get above zero those place for about 4 months

Interesting that half of the top ten are from Austria

Joel "The Good Austrian" LOL

I'm a bit in Kye's area here, socially the southern cities may be the best but climatewise I couldn't hack the winters. A killer for me.
Brisbane was brilliant back 10 years or more but it's gone downhill with the population explosion since IMHO.

Love to go a bit further north now

Strange Mumbai isn't on the list, surely over 20 million people can't be wrong

DT your kidding right re Adelaide such a boring place what's good about it im not stirring honestly?

Adelaide is a beautiful city, much nicer than any city on the east coast. I dont mean its a hive of activity like Melbourne / Sydney, but as a purely livable city.

if you love churches and poofs its ok

OK i just found it bit boring as in going out new places nightlife etc

Home of serial killers

and don dunstan

any of you guys been to Rome Italy how did you find it?

been to rome - of course it was wonderfull

I've certainly heard that about Sydney LIH but not Adelaide?

Full of too many grasping greedy scamming Southern Europeans. Head to northern Europe if you want to be treated in a more civilised manner.

actually we are hosting a kid from italy next week for while

LIH charge him $35 for a cup of coffee and when he complains just point out to him that is what his countrymen expect Aussie tourists to pay.

its the wine i will hit her up for!

How old is she?

When I first read your post LIH I thought you said you were HOSING a kid from Italy and I thought F*CKING HELL these Queensland Houso's are broadminded.

too old for u joel - 16 i think

He could show her his model aircraft collection and she might take pity on him and let him get a STINKY-FINGER.

Western Sydney is the most liveable suburb in Aust..........

tongans, lebbo's, asians, indians and the most fked up abused AUSTRALIAN kids you could find...........

"any of you guys been to Rome Italy how did you find it? "

Take the main Rhodes, then no Messina'n around just take the right hand turn at the Sicilian roundabout and you'll be as happy as a dog A'ppian on the final leg.

Manchester the highest rated in Britain, down at 51.

I like it in Melbourne. I dont care what anyone else thinks.

If Manchester is rated highest in Britain then this survey is worse than useless.

That is all wrong,utter nonsense.Top places to live in Canada and Australia,must be the 2 most boring places on earth.Must have been pissed.

agrees with crazysnake, capital of nearly everything.
what other city has a stadium 500m from the heart of the city and another a 2k walk holding 100,000

it may get cold in winter, but you cant beat autumn,spring and summer. but you still cant beat spring.

so stadia is the benchmark??

FFS

as usual, read one line

yeah FFS

where is sofia ....  we finished first & SECOND in the Top Ten lol ...

we also must applaud sofia for being a great ambassador for sydney

Manchseter UK at 51 and best in the UK ?


you are joking , it's a truly horrible place ,i wouldn't even say it's in the UK top 51 places to live

If we're so livable why they taking the seats out of our trains. ?  Friday and Satuday nights are a war zone in the C.B.D.  Why did Tattersalls announce their moving to Queensland yesterday.  Manufacturing is in freefall.   This city is becoming very un business friendly, I think we're got a Socialist State Government or more than likely a Socialist leader in Big Teddy Ballieu.   Over the last 6 months the glory days are starting to come to a halt.   Couldn't go forever I suppose.

What wrong, Monday Mike. Do you have Mondayitis?

MonkeyBoy's got the irrits

There's crime scene tape around his last "tipping" thread

Experienced detectives, visibly shaken, have described the thread as, "like a scene from SAW 3"

This is getting more like the'Womans own'forum every day.....

You'll soon be discussing top ten body waxes and most vibrant wall paper colour schemes....

says the short fat leprechaun 

I don't think Melbourne is a very livable city if you're a tall person you can cut your head off in the tram wires.

still you cant beat a tram ride

Can you tell me where Damascus and Aleppo ranked?

no idea, im sure they are lovely citys

I must apologise Megsy ... you probably have no idea of what's going on in that part of the world being a "Today/Tonight" watcher ...

actually i watched ACA last night, what did i miss?

reality.

Are you sure ? Big Brother is on after ACA

I'm sure Joel ...

It seems certain members of our wonderful forum think they have "dibs" on reality.
Well, here's a news flash for those of you with delusions of grandeur, as opposed to the run-of-the-mill delusions which are simply called "living"....There's no such thing

Yes Mr. Crazy.
It pisses me off no end when people say "in the real world" this or that is happening.
Everyone's own world IS their real world.
A struggling person's world is no more and no less real than a rich person's.

This is why Melbourne & Adelaide scored placed so highly
Look at the name of the survey "Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Liveability Survey"
Nothing in there about weather, people, things to do

There is nothing more inevitable than inevitability itself. This simply had to get parochial in the end, didn't it...

Clever Girl,

If that was a legitimate question Damascus ranked 130 out of the 140 cities surveyed.

are you serious Muncha? There's a freaking civil war going on there ...

What about Mogadishu?

Trouble spots like Mogadishu were not included apparently, not sure why Damascus was as you are right the place is a mess at the moment.
Such a shame, I was there (Syria) in August 2010 and the people were extremely welcoming and the place absolutely fascinating.
A lot has changed now though.
