It's 2 degrees in Melbourne..
Bet you didn't know that.
Here's some other things you non-nocturns may not know:
1/ When you're driving out of the city towards the Westgate Bridge, you past the Vegemite factory on your right. If it's night-time and it's raining, you can smell Vegemite in your car. If the heater is on, and it always is, you can smell Vegemite toast in your car. And then, even though by this stage you're on the Westgate, you have to pull off at the next exit, turn around, and drive back home to make Vegemite toast. It's pretty imperative at 3am.
2/ Brunetti on Faraday St is open until 11pm. But until 11.10pm, you can still get a takeaway Italian hot chocolate. Even though this stop-off means you're about 20 minutes early for work, it's worth it to start the shift with a thick, creamy, chocolatey cup of thick, creamy chocolate. However, if you can't drag yourself away from the couch and the Miss Universe telecast and you get there at 11.15pm, no chocolate for you. Bitches.
3/At Melbourne Airport, if you drive in and follow the signs to the Hilton, there is a long, LONG row of car parks. So many that all the permit-only cars-that-are-supposed-to-park-there in the whole of Melbourne couldn't possibly fill them. And if you put a sign that says "MEDIA" on your dashboard, no one questions you. I'm never paying for parking at Melbourne Airport ever again.
4/ Not as many pubs as you'd expect are open for substantial hours between midnight and 8am. When I get enough for a list, I'll post them. I'm not counting the Burvale.
There's so much to know.

Ok note, that when you work 9-5 in an office full of women, who have the heater on full ball, because they have no heat in their inner core, because they sit on their arses all day, and you ride about 25kms a day, which forces you to have to sit around in a singlet and shorts in the middle of winter, because you will over heat and die, note: this causes the oil heaters to heat up and with the dust of the old building that we are in that probabaly gets vaccuumed once a month, makes a burning smell permeate through the office which to me smells like vegmite on toast, which at 4pm (when it happens... every day) absolutely kills me... just like that 3.30itus bullshit you see on that cup-a-soup ad or whatever it is. So yeah I fel ya pain.
