Isn’t that somewhat in the ballpark (for a few orders of magnitude)?
So really, who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
Wouldn’t I rather gnaw off my arm and jam it up my arse than eat that?
(I’m in Melbourne. And that looks fake to me. But you never know with Perth…most isolated major city in the world and all that.)
It’s Freo, not Perth and totes for reals?
But whhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyy?
Isn’t Fremantle a suburb of Perth?
In the same way Newark’s a suburb of NYC?
ETA: Depends. It’s close enough, sure, but Fremantle’s also very different and kind of their own place and Kailis are a local legend for fish and chips there. Soz for not adding question marks, but this whole thing makes me feel like I’m coming across as real aggro when I’m not.
Anyways, I got a mate in Freo who said and I quote “Yeah, I’ve tried it. It’s fucking fish flavour Ice-cream, what the fuck do you think it tastes like?!”
I’ll let y’all get back to the game now.
?
By what measure?
Is Newark not a suburb of NY?
Didn’t I think the Fremantle Doctor was just the name of a wind that blows across the WACA?
Didn’t I never really wonder where the name came from? Haven’t I learnt something today?
Ummm… distance from other major cities?

Perth seems to be only around 1300 miles from Adelaide, and you can even drive it. That’s practically neighbors by Honolulu standards.
ETA:
(No sympathy for those of us trying to navigate 2 or more threads at once?)
Is “too provincial” a reasonable criticism when discussing “most remote” cities? Is a million people too small to count as “major”?
Aren’t I just trying to see who I can offend by belittling their home cities?
I mean, these places are hardly Leicester, are they?
One of the nicer suburbs of Birmingham, right?
Nicer? Isn’t there a reason I’m from Leicester and not in Leicester?
That time I went to Leicester once and it was shuit?
ETA Typos all fixed?
Wouldn’t I say they’re actually _more_ster?
Zoroaster?
(I was wrong. Sorry. Was being lazy and repeating something I’d read or heard without questioning it.
Perth is one of the most isolated major cities in the world. The nearest city with a population of more than 100,000 is Adelaide, 2,104 kilometres (1,307 mi) away. Only Honolulu (population 953,000), 3,841 kilometres (2,387 mi) from San Francisco, is more isolated.- from Wikipedia.)
