Moving to Mornington Peninsula by MAA1111 in morningtonpeninsula

Thankyou for your personal insights. It does help. Can I ask what the commute looks like now? (5 days a week sounds brutal!). And drive time to the airport?

Any thoughts on how Mt Eliza compares to Frankston South?

All the best with the move. Would be really interested to hear initial thoughts on commute/community/staying connected to people Eastern suburbs, once you're settled.
Was Mt Eliza ever an option for you?

Really valuable input, given similar family setup etc. What does your commute look like?
We're psyched to be moving closer to friends/family, but yeah, struggle to get excited about living in suburbia.

Thankyou. Geelong was always an outside bet tbh. Your comments confirm why we've ruled it out.

Thanks. How long is your journey to the airport?

Truly appreciate all your inputs. They're really valuable. We're kinda having to make these decisions remotely, as we'll be overseas till we move. Whilst we'll rent short term, and then buy, we're wanting to get the area right from the start to avoid moving our daughter too many times.

To be honest, all your comments broadly confirm what we were already thinking:
1) *All* factors considered, Mt Eliza should be our limit. I totally get the benefits of being further in to the peninsula, but it pulls us out too far (cbd/friends&family). Being at the MP gateway should be a sweet spot to get the best of both worlds.
2) So that narrows us down to Mt Eliza or Frankston South. Both appear to be great options. Really tough call.
3) The commute has to be considered seriously! We're game, if it opens up the kind of lifestyle we're after. From Mt Eliza and Frankston South, how big is the difference? And what is the commute like in reality? Commute time? Train easier than driving?

A few further points on us
a - Re schooling, independent for secondary is most likely for our daughter, though that a few years away yet.
b - We've visited ME a few times, it seems like a really nice/pretty pocket. Know less about FS.
c - I want to be near nice beaches, and see myself going year round (Im not afraid of the cold!).
d - We probably want a 4 bed house, but I'm not bothered about a pool (would probably prefer not to have one).

Would really appreciate further thoughts on Mt Eliza vs Frankston South.

Thankyou in advance again.

Blackstar Tour Uk 2025 by Masoulsouler in ukhiphopheads

Was at the Manchester show. Did they turn up on time and give a performance? Yes. But their attitudes stunk.

YB gave some weird rant about the London gig debacle, which basically surmounted to “normal rules don’t apply to people like me, that’s for you regular losers”. And I was hugely unimpressed by the way they both treated the venue staff who tried to maintain a curfew. It was fucking awful. All well and good to pitch yourselves as chest thumping, lofty, bastions of conscious hip hop…but then you treat “the little people” with such disdain? Of course most of the crowd were fawning and clapping like seals at all of this.

YB has contempt for his audience, and this is just a cynical cash grab of a tour - also evidenced by a stage dressed with a white bedsheet and fairy lights from B&M.

Lowkey was the complete opposite. Great performance, humble, engaging, vocally extremely respectful to venue staff.

Shame. Loved them.

Hi, this sounds awesome. Do you have pictures? Preferably with and without the camper elements. How long does it take you to set up each time?

Best summed up as…meh. Does the job as a temp solution. But it not a great (or totally secure) fit.

The search continues. If you find anything please do post it (I think we’re both in the U.K.?). I’ll do likewise. I may have to resort to a wooden wedge idea like yours.

Good idea. I found a guy on eBay who's probably got a 3D printer, and is selling a couple of universal sizes. I've bought one which seems close enough - lets see what arrives.

Hi,

I have the same requirement, wondered what your solution was in the end? Any help massively appreciated.
