The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

What a sublime day. Though I'm gonna give it a thumbs down just because it won't last all summer long.

I will never understand the need for violence due to tailgating or being cut off.

In fact I struggle to understand why there is so much anger around these days

is this a mating ritual for bogans?

Is there anything more Perth than a bloke in a high viz vest and another bloke with a foot long arse crack punching on in the RIGHT lane in peak hour?

Yep. Really noticeable when you go overseas and come back. Everyone is so angry and impatient here. Not sure if its the constant drinking/drugs or what.

Just an observation, bit I think Australians have become one of the most selfish and "what about me?" cultures around.

Everybody who didn't grow up in Sydney has some memory of better traffic.

Plant more trees

This Sydney street stays cooler than others during a heatwave — here's why

Last summer was Australia's hottest on record but there is one solution that could keep our streets cooler for longer, with a difference of as much as 10 degrees recorded in some places.

Trees are a big part of the reason that old Perth is better than new Perth. Anywhere with heaps of jacarandas looks great now but while they only flower for a few weeks a year and drop a lot of s**t they do still provide good shade.

Obviously you can't expect mature trees and shrubs overnight but when you clear massive areas to nothing and then plant nothing except a few patches of lawn separated by colorbond fences (half of which seem to have been replaced by fake lawn anyway) then you are asking for a hot box.

Is anyone else getting over being asked to change gas companies? They have set up permanent stalls in every shopping centre to hound you as you walk past. Now they are door knocking. Gas is relatively cheap compared to power. It doesnt bother me. The next person that asks is going to cop it

Plenty of people watch the news. My dad goes to bed at 4:30 for work so he just switches on his T.V. and watches Raymond or Seinfeld or whatever is on FTA at the time until he falls asleep.

I started taping the amazing race as i was hoping it would be ok as i used to like the US series. But gave up after 3 episodes. Was my first foray into free to air in years and I won’t be rushing back anytime soon
