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

[Silent Alarm]

That bad hey?

 

[Carl Hooper]

canno dogs and Mandurah dogs are a good pissy night out (Mandurah has real good food; i know that)... especially if you leave legless with a full stomach

I have never been but I already have this image in my head that it has the atmosphere of a TAB ie. elderly people in tracksuits half-drunkenly walking around, and the food is a warmed up 4&20 meat pie served with a side of discoloured and bitter vegetables.

It's not the absolute worst place in the world (still not great though) and last time I went (many years ago - **** the Greyhound industry) the food wasn't gash. But anything to do with animal racing generally brings out some of the not so great of society. Throw that into a suburb with a terribly high crime rate and a fair portion of public housing with a main train station, well you get the picture.

Can you explain this to me please?

You would prefer to eat gash?

I meant it the way the Brits use it, not in a literal sense

Didn't even realise the Cannington greyhounds were still a thing.

This is a very Silent Alarm post.

Terribly high crime rate? Fair portion of public housing? Have you been there. It's hardly Dalkeith but still a fair way off your Armadale, Kwinana, Mirrabooka etc.

 

[Reynolds Number]

Only been to a greyhounds track once in my life. Not in Perth.

They're hidden behind the enormous Bunnings that's gone up there.

Looks like the super airfare deals into Europe will come to an end, inevitably really as they weren't sustainable.
Etihad have pulled out of the dick measuring contest and announce they will be pulling out of Perth 1st October.

From what I heard they were the poorer cousin of Emirates and Qatar anyway.

Yep, that is why they realised they couldn't compete and cut their losses

 

[Silent Alarm]

Etihad were always cheaper though. Flown them twice long haul to Europe and really enjoyed the service. The colour inside is less insane than Thai so props, and it’s not as good as Air New Zealand but almost none are. It was a pretty good airline for like a grand return to Europe.

People I know who've lived there couldn't get out quick enough. Home invasions are a nightly routine. A quick google search will confirm statistics.

If you put the state housing in the suburbs then they don't have to evade the fair on the train to get there.

It actually reduces crime.

Big picture thinking.

Why do you feel the need to consistently make suggestive posts and have these vaguely erotic avatars?

You seem like an intelligent person and you make some good, insightful comments but you seem to like projecting this sort of sexual image that's sexy for about 5 seconds, but is ultimately a bit tedious. Here in the online world no one actually gives a **** if you're a bloke or a woman. Give it a rest maybe?

You come across as a bit disingenuous with this 'thing' you've got going on.

And, for full disclosure, I'm happy to acknowledge my own flogness and am trying my best not to post whilst heavily intoxicated(and failing miserably).

*has nothing to do with quoted post and is a general comment.

 

[Off The Couch]

I’m still trying to work out what was remotely suggestive about that post and then along comes SA with some off the wall ramblings and that’s me done for the night.

Im obviously getting too old when I can’t even follow the storyline that’s being proposed

[Tarkyn_24]

Are you reading my mind?

She’s like the Ross Lyon of Bigfooty - use random words and suggestive ideas to essentially convey nothing, and in turn have nothing to be accounted for or nothing to actually say. It’s weird.

Quite often I read her footy posts on the main board and the caveat is ‘but chicks can’t footy so...’ but at the crux, she’ll speak in weasel words and so many buzz phrases that you’re like wtf is this? Brendan Fevola was a great footballer, Buzz Aldrin was an astronaut... yet she makes football seem as complex as space travel.

What does that post mean? The suburbs? What suburbs? It’s Perth, not Chicago where the suburbs are almost not even counted as Chicago proper. Are the suburbs Bull Creek and Doubleview Or Fremantle and Subiaco? Are they Armadale and Clarkson? It’s vague in Australia.

In a way her post is saying keep shitheads to the shit suburbs but then it’s like... but shitheads don’t travel to shit suburbs?

But then she’s also saying keep shitheads to the desirable areas and they won’t use Transperth... but no one has ever called Mt Lawley ‘the suburbs to me?’

It’s a ****in riddle understanding even one of her posts. It’s really odd. Like it’s actually amazing how baseless and all over the place they are.

Not to mention the lame innuendo on Freo rumours and the cringeworthy ‘I’ve had footballers chat me up but I didn’t care... but I’m posting about it’ posts.

Well that was a completely unprovoked and undeserved character assassination.

Hope it made you feel big.

what the **** is this? SA this is bad, even for you. I don't know who the other bloke is but strong chip on your shoulder to make an unprovoked comment like that. Heres a tip: stay off Bigfooty when you're drunk.

 

[Off The Couch]

I see twotooto that you’ve come back and added an addendum that your comment had nothing to do with Taylor’s post which was why I was confused by your post. Instead it turns out it’s much worse than that - it’s now just a poster attacking another poster on an insulting and personal level and that’s just plain pathetic. SA and his ramblings are the norm but even for him this is another level but unsurprising nonetheless.

 

[twotooto]

Yeah, look, it was pathetic...agreed.

I apologise to Taylor and the board for my comments. They were indeed unprovoked and uncalled for.

It seems I have some things to work through.

 

[Beerfish]

Not often you see that on BF. Kudos.
