Aussie Court case leaves a bad taste in defendant's mouth
Brett Robson
A man has been ordered to pay almost $40,000 compensation for performing oral
sex on a young woman who mistakenly thought he was her lover.
Philip Steven Corvo, 25, a salesman, was jailed for four months after being
found guilty in the Brisbane District Court in February last year of two counts
of sexual assault with circumstances of aggravation.

Nice. I wonder what would've happened if the girl had been the one who
came home drunk and the guy was the one with the mysteriously
unexplained failure to recognize this drunk person as NOT their lover.
Also, what in the name of all that is holy is an "inner city suburb"?

No one wants to chime in here? I am actually curious about this. The
original article said "an inner-city Brisbane suburb" if I recall
correctly. To me that is an oxymoron.
Is this common parlance down in Austria or just a journalist having a
bad day? What's it mean?

A person who claimed to be Austrian told me that "suburb" is a name for
administrative districts of cities down there. Thus "inner city suburb"
is not the oxymoron that it might seem to Seppongo speakers.
Thanks to everyone for their help in this thread.

Sorry, the only two Aussies in this group spent the weekend getting drunk and
looking at fireworks and girls in yukata.
That explanation is spot on. City councils or shires group suburbs together like
US counties but all they do is collect rubbish and make street signs.

At this end that sentence isn't past tense yet - just finished another
liquid lunch. I'd stop drinking only I think I'd be less productive in
the office if a hangover began to set in.

bewdiful things. Went to the Goyu festival yesterday for more (beer).

bewdiful things, especially when they fetch your beers and drive you home.

Two out of three isn't bad, although in my case the fireworks and girls
in yukata no doubt were on a much smaller scale than yours.

and apparently he doesn't drink. We are trying to increase our average alchol
consumption so we can't have non-drinkers on the books.

Mind if we call you "Bruce" to keep it clear?
