Mining Boom Board.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Ive lived in humble Perth for all 26 years of my life, and the amount of bogans walking our streets is escalating at an exponetial rate, thanks to the mining boom, to a point where living here just isnt as good thanks to this souless filth.

Get off this coast.

But seriously, I do agree.

Bogans have always been here. I just think the better areas are becoming more bogan. Yangibup and Midland are the undisputed kings of domestic violence, meth-lab explosions, and dirt surrounded cream brick housing. But the areas that were once considered 'decent' are being swamped by bogans as well.

Just move to inner Melbourne.

Yep am moving over to Melbs soon - looking forward to it.

Agree, mining boom has allowed them to populate the previously bogan-free suburbs.

Also I saw a guy yesterday with a stars and straps tattoo on his neck:

Goodbye job prospects

Never been to Perth or WA before, but that sort of thing really shits me. I have a cousin who since getting his licence about a year ago has written off two cars, copped numerous speeding fines, got done drink driving, lost his licence and then got caught driving without a licence. Yet he tells everyone the cops have it in for him. Heaps of people like that around too on facebook, always complaining about the police when they get caught for illegal stuff.

Just completely idiotic

Read the 50 odd pages of this thread, your head will explode.

Firstly, it's Yangebup. If you're to put down a suburb (there are many that are much worse, and no I don't live there) at least get the name right.

Secondly, you've been here (Perth) for 5 minutes so in keeping with what seems to be a common theme on here (BigFooty) you don't really know shit from clay but are shooting your mouth off in in a pretentious manner. Evidently the lessons of the haircut thread didn't really sink in.

By all means, tell us all about the decline of Perth's 'decent' areas and regale us with stories from your vast experience living in inner Melbourne...

 

[The_Reaper]

How does the mining boom increase the number of bogans?

 

[Silent Alarm]

I'm sorry for not knowing more about a total shithole of a suburb.

Also, irrelevant to this topic of discussion.

Your head is in the sand if you think Perth is a classy place.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

-An obsession with indoor cricket

So true. I played indoor cricket for a year with my mates a few years ago. The quality of people that hang out at indoor sports centres is disgusting, truly horrifying. Bloodshot, singlet-wearing yokels sculling cans of pre-mix spirits everywhere.

Treating their children's weekend sport like it's life-and-death.

Swearing and absuing shop assistants when there's a slight inconvenience.

Lack of teeth.

Having domestics in public, shopping centres, etc.

Having morbidly obese girlfriends.

Smoking in stadiums, school grounds, etc.

Gathering outside shopping centres in large packs.

 

[bunsen burner]

It doesn't but cashed up bogans get under peoples' skin a lot more than the stock standard boge. Nothing worse that some boges who cash up and all of a suddenly think they're classy.

 

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

Pretty sure the Chevy badges are because GM owns Holden. I remember when that new Monaro came out a few years ago, seeing it on TV with the Chevy badges. So I don't think they're putting the badges on themselves.

Not that I'm a car guy at all, so who knows.

Tbh, I much prefer them to the English wannabes, who pretend to be English even though they've lived in Australia for 95% of their lives.

OP isn't original, or even creative. Sounds like a ********.

You're basing this on your single year of experience as an adult?

Not only Kiwis, but Poms and Saffers EVERYWHERE

 

[Mancey]

Meh they're their own subculture. Cashed up bogans and their reckless spending are keeping the economy going.

Least they aren't sponging off welfare.

All this talk of bogans and no mention of armadale. disgrace

 

[The_Reaper]

Not only Kiwis, but Poms and Saffers EVERYWHERE

Basically every mining engineer in Perth is South African.

Perth has as many poms as Sydney.

 

[peppy la pew]

I associate the word bogan with shit haircuts and pimples,

And before you get to Armadale Mancey, I demand you drive through Thornlie and Gosnells,

The Jerusalem to the hardcore Bogan.

props to Kelmscott

Let's not forget beautiful Banksia Grove

Not just Perth...pretty much wa in general. no choice really, we need engineers and we aren't producing enough.

Can't blame saffas chasing the awesome coin.

Is that the land of 40 virgins

more like 40 versions - of the truth when the cops arrive...

Darch !

I don't have a problem with the traditional bogan, in fact they are a declining breed in Perth. It's the cashed up bogans who are commonly found in middle class and/or new suburbs in Perth that think they are classy that are the problem. Give them alcohol and when they cannot pick up a chick they start looking for fights.

This x1000000

The thing that really shit's me is these said people go on strike for not earning enough and everything is still unfair and everyone is against them.

I suppose they are right, $120k to drive a forklift for two thirds of the year up North just isn't enough. I spent 3 years at Uni, am currently workings towards 2 post graduate degrees and these guys still earn 2.4 times more then I do. The ironic thing is that I have my forklift license also.

The tradtional ACDC export drinking bogan - they are easy going, and funny as.

The cashed up bogan gets to me. Have everything they need and want but still carry on like pork chops.
