Food, Drink & Dining Out The Perth Thread - Part 2

[Off The Couch]

I'll complain about winter because I hate the cold and wet. I couldn't care less if we have one of the best climates in the world

 

[craigos]

General whinge

I am so ******* bored. a knee arthroscope (remove a piece of Femur which was in my knee, weight bearing part, couldnt jog without swelling for 3 days) wednesday turned into an open knee surgery (My Femur was cracked, ) was supposed to be back at tafe Monday, Now im a locked knee brace for another 12 days at least, Crutches for 7 weeks (no pay, wew!) and going to miss at least 3 weeks of tafe which puts me pretty behind. cant drive for 7 weeks




Also St John of god is a bit of a hole

How you traveling now? I have similar issues at present and also had to have my leg screwed and plated a few years ago. It can do your head in if you don't keep your mind occupied.

Yeah that Waterford Shopping Centre carpark, along with that whole Manning Rd strip is shyte full of shyte drivers.

It's right next to Curtin, full of P-platers (and Asians). Had a few near misses there during my Curtin days

I'd honestly rather go to Vic Park or Park Centre.

 

[ChampRevesby]

If all people have to complain about is the weather and bad drivers then life must be pretty good.

 

[Beerfish]

I have plenty of other things to complain about if you'd like.

Thankfully I refrain from whinging about work on here.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Thankfully I refrain from whinging about work on here.

That fact you even have a job should be celebrated.

I blame immigrants and young people.

Not sure what I'm blaming them for, but it's their fault.

 

[JackOutback]

I blame immigrants and young people.

Not sure what I'm blaming them for, but it's their fault.

And political correctness.

I assume it's the reason I have had the flu for the past week. Bloody campaigner thing.

 

[Scotland]

Them too. Even when it was the bears I knew it was them.

 

[perthblue]

Cucks and snowflakes, the lot of you

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Hey cucks, one of those livability things came out. We came 7th or something but, yikes, even Adelaide got us for culture.

 

[Beerfish]

100 for infrastructure? wtf?

 

[quotemokc]

Surely Australia should lose at least 20 points in infrastructure due to our 4th world internet speeds.

 

[Plugger35]

100 for infrastructure? wtf?

I don't know where they got that rating from, public transport here is s**t, we're well overdue for a decent sports stadium and the new children's hospital has been a shambles.

 

[estibador]

Haha Auckland beat 'centre of the universe' Melbourne for culture. Suck on that Vics.

 

[perthblue]

would like to see how they calculated that. our infrastructure is Mogadishu level

 

[JackOutback]

I don't know where they got that rating from, public transport here is s**t, we're well overdue for a decent sports stadium and the new children's hospital has been a shambles.

Public transport is not extensive, but it is exceptional. Cheap, clean and on time; you'll find a lot of cities struggle with all of those three.

 

[Scotland]

I agree that the PT network is pretty good for the 5% of the population that it serves.

exactly I catch the train each day (joondalup line) and can count on one hand the times there have been extensive delays over the last 5 years years.

 

[JackOutback]

I agree that the PT network is pretty good for the 5% of the population that it serves.

And yet a significant number will drive to the freeway and continue into Perth, right alongside a cleaner, cheaper, more reliable train.

That said, Metronet will address some of these problems. Just don't expect a train station at your front door.

 

[Scotland]

Habit is powerful. I've looked out the window at traffic moving at walking pace from the train many times.

I can't for the life of me work out why people who live near the train network drive into the city, pay for parking, don't use their car during the day then drive home. If you need your car or have free parking or have a trade off between multiple connections vs an easy drive it's different, but a lot of people just don't think they should have to use PT.

I've driven into the city once in the last 5 years and it was on a Saturday morning to pick something up from Myer that I'd organised at Garden City that day. Figured since I was already in the car I'd just keep driving. * that, never again.

In Auckland right now and it's a good joint imo, people are friendly and some decent pubs. Weather is good too, would say it's about the same as Melbourne right now.
