Stairway to heaven grounded



[color="#000080"][quote name='The Daily Telegraph | August 06' date=' 2008 12:00am']A BRIGHTON East brothel has been thwarted in its bid to operate from a ground floor room so its elderly clients do not have to walk up the stairs. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' />



The Bayside Leader says he owner of the legal Hawthorn Rd brothel said some clients had difficulty climbing the steps because of their age and frailty. Ultimate Magic owner Norman Anderson said the majority of the clients at his "mature relaxation brothel centre" were older men, including some in their 90s, who visited because they were lonely.

"They don't come in for s e x they come in to talk," Mr Anderson said. "They're just lonely old guys, most of them."



Mr Anderson, who has been licensee for 11 years, said the brothel had operated since 1977 and catered for a niche market of elderly clients. He said the application to operate a fourth room and to increase the number of clients allowed on the premises from four to five and the number of employees from three to four was not about increasing business.



"We're doing less business now than when I came here (about) 10 years ago," Mr Anderson said.

"The application was to amend the permit to have Sunday trading and to use one of the rooms downstairs for elderly clients."



Last week the council rejected the application because the site is within 100m of residential dwellings.

Bayside Mayor Andrew McLorinan said the council was legally bound to treat the application as if it were a completely new brothel proposal.



"It's quite clear that if there wasn't a brothel there and there was an application, we wouldn't be allowed to permit it," he said.[/quote][/color]

One of the best ways to meet people is to attend a Melbourne social networking event. There are some free networking events in Melbourne that are designed for new people to Melbourne to come along and meet other people and increase their social network.



The first event run by Newcomers Network, a free Living, Working and Networking event held on the second Thursday of each month at the Rendezvous Hotel from 6pm, followed by Newcomers Networking at 7.30pm. The event is free to attend and booking and more info can be found at [url="http://www.newcomersnetwork.com.au/"][color="#3987cb"]www.newcomersnetwork.com.au[/color][/url]. Newcomers Network has been running for over 10 years and is Australia's top source of information for new people to Australia. The Newcomers Network website is free of charge and is a fantastic wealth of information for people that have moved, or are planning to move to Melbourne to help them make the most of their new life here.



The second event is a free end of month drinks night run by Fun, Food and Friendship held on the last Thursday on each month at a different bar in the CBD. Fun Food and Friendship is a Melbourne social club that runs a wide range of social events in Melbourne and is all about enjoying fun activities, meeting new people and making new friends. More information and booking on the free social drinks night or other activities that can be found on [url="http://www.melbournesocial.com.au/"][color="#3987cb"]www.melbournesocial.com.au[/color][/url] or [url="http://www.funff.com.au/"][color="#3987cb"]www.funff.com.au[/color][/url]



Hopefully it will help you meet some new people in Melbourne !
