 | Melburnian? Please no!
Greetings all For as long as I have known - REMO has been one of the last bastions of 'non Americanised' and 'non Modernised' renditions of our language. Until we see our Southern cousins' home city renamed Melburne (no 'o') - let's have shirt that forces our Pacific neighbours to recognise ('s' not 'z') some tradition in our spelling. Despite little Johnny's best efforts, we're not yet the next small seven states of dubble-ya's empire. Cheers and best to all Matthew

| CustOMER
This word is more than just another example of bad punctuation. CustOMER is what (to date) we have been calling someone who dwells, not only in a physical place, but also within the parallel REMO universe. It took 8 years (and a mirror) to figure this one out!

| Perthling
Hi, although i now live in London, I was a regular shopper at REMO during my days in Sydney. Glad u are back! Anyhow..I was thinking, u should add another city to your t-shirt range! My hometown of Perth! And how about the word Perthling.

| Brisbane not Brisvegas
Brisbaneite yes...but Brisvegan? Uggch! Def not! The term Brisvegas I believe came from some attempting to combine Brisbane and the Gold Coast together as one city. Its not the same people! Both have differnt atmospheres, different people etc..besides if you went anywhere outside Australia with Brisvegan on a tshirt..I doubt anyone would have a clue what it meant.

As someone who travels a bit - this t-shirt (in my native Sydneysider) is an excellent way of striking up a conversation with complete strangers.

| Melburnian Seperatist Scumbos!
As an adopted St Kilda-ite, I can honestly say that Melburnians DON'T want a t-shirt with MELBURNIAN / MELBOURNIAN on it, they want a t-shirt that says VICTORIAN!
As a seasoned traveller, I've found that when travellers get together, they'll ask each other where they're from.
While most Australians will say "AUSTRALIA", folks from the insignificant little slab of land at the bottom-right corner (Just above Tassie) will proclaim:
"VICTORIA!" or "MELBOURNE!",
but never "AUSTRALIA"
I suspect they don't really like Australia and want to split and form their own little classist, segregated, English-style country.
Hence the "National" Gallery of Victoria, instead of "STATE" gallery! ;-)

| Feeling homesick?
This is one of those t-shirts you need to have when you are living away from home and want something different than the usual and run of the mill. Buy 2 and one of them a size bigger - makes for a great night-shirt

| What about the rest?
I have to admit that i probably didn't read the fine-ish print, but when I ordered this fabulous design, I thought that I would be getting the other cities shown (New Yorker, Parisienne etc) with Melbournian (or Melburnian - i am ambivalent!) slotted in instead of

| Melbournian
As a true Melbournian, there a numerous attractions and idiosyncrasies about Australia's cultural capital, but it you want a symbol that is very special to that city and particularly Melbournians, may I suggest a t-shirt design featuring the famous floral clock in the Royal Botanical Gardens.

I agree that you should change "Melbournian" to "Melburnian".
Also, I think "Brisbanite" should be changed to "Brisvegan" , consistent with the common reference to Brisbane these days as Brisvegas.

Love this tees ability to make me affect a French air of je ne sais quoi and feign that I am a true Parisienne. Pity that my French skills are so pathetiqué. C'est la vie!

Sorry, can't help myself- with all the clamour for hobartian why don't you produce a shirt with two collars?

| Let's call the whole thing off
Any Australian dictionary will give you the adjectival form of Melbourne as Melburnian. Just as Mancunian is to Manchester, and Liverpudlian is to Liverpool. It's a quirk of the English language, and I like it.
As far as the t-shirts go though, I like the international look of a list of four or five cities on the one t-shirt, as shown on the design close-up.

| Kansai-jin rule!
Do you actually sell any Tokyoite t-shirts in Japanese? I can't imagine the repressed, hung-up, puckered asshole types who make up Tokyo's legions of organisation-men having the attitude or guts to declare anything personal about themselves. On the other hand, Osakans (or even better, Kansai-jin) shirts would sell their tits off. I'd buy several for my proud friends from Kobe and Kyoto. Even better if you add the classic Kansai greeting, "Hello, are you making money?"

| Perthian
Could we have a t-shirt for Perth-ites,
a species of Luddites from the most
isolated city in the world?
Boorloo was the old name used
(for up to about 149,800 years)
before some confounded boat person
arriving from Scotland in 1829
renamed this area in South
Western Australia after a Scots
town which is now comparatively
insignificant.
The other ones which would interest
me would be Grazer and Wiener
after the respective Austrian
cities where I have lived.
Nice font, by the way.

Alright for New Yorkers or in memorandum of Sept 11.
How 'bout "Brisbanite" or as we are now hipply known - BrisVegas. You could put - Meet me in BrisVegas ! Also, what about "no fixed address" This would be a good general purpose one for those of us who have no affinity for a particular corner of the planet. Or maybe are just plain nomadic.

If you had Queenslander ( not that its a city, but it covers many cities and we would all be proud to wear it) I would buy a few for friends as well. But I agree with many other Remoids, we need one to indicate a more global citizen......how about Resident Alien or Earth Citizen
