You know the whereabouts and have been to Ramsay Street

You stuffed up in year 12 and ended up in Swinburne Uni Lillydale

You stuffed up even worst in year 12 and ended up in Holmesglen Tafe

You or someone you know was beaten up by Kambo Klownz back in the day

You or someone you know was beaten up by Oakleigh Wogs

You dress better then your friends (from the west) i.e. they still wear flares

You slow down at Orrong road on the way to the city to avoid the speed camera

Anything on the other side of the westgate bridge is a hike

You were not surprised by the riots at Noble Park Maccas

Springvale Rd is no more then 10 minutes from your house

You refuse to accept that people from Cranbourne are Eastsiders

You haven't been to Fountain Gate since Krispy Kremes became available everywhere

You exit at Toorak Rd and NEVER use etag

You drive into the 'U' at Edithvale to show off your ride (you know there's no chance of finding parking there)

You are paranoid and wind up your windows and lock your doors once you get into the slums (westside)

You have been to Princes or Kings

Standing on the hot, squishy 888 bus in summer next to some fat guy that wreaks of BO.. is all worth it once you get into the water

You're glad Ozone was built on top of the 'old bus stop'.. this nearly wiped out the 'Bus stop gangsters'

You've had a bbq/birthday/drink up at Jells/Burden park

You used to wag school and hang at Dandy Plaza food court

This one is especially true. I once helped a big samoan rugby player change a flat tyre on his ford falcon - needless to say, im in the good books now among him and his rugby mates. And this guy wasnt no 6ft samoan that weighs 90kg....he was more like 6ft 8 and weighed 130kg..... comparison purposes im 5ft6 (5ft 7 on a good day) and weigh just under 70kg.

Oh and the glenny and chady one is soooo true! haha...

oh and the ramsay street one - i actually met ian smith (aka harold bishop) at myer - man i was one excited mofo! The guy got scared when i ran up to him saying "you harold!!! you harold!!!"
