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...

The new cookie cutter suburbs are generally just depressing.

But if you get a portico like everyone else, you can really stand out.

Cooled down quick. Happened as I was hand watering. Beautiful outside now. Cool and still as the bbq warms up.

This is why I never want daylight saving.

So a price search shows me they are quite expensive Beerfish - do you have a brand recommendation

Okay so Choice also recommends a brand called Bellini which retails for $99 yet scores a 74% against the one I have at 75% so it sounds like good value. One of the biggest knocks is the size though, a claimed 800g against mine which is a claimed 1.2kg.

Target has them.


Your mission, should you choose to accept it..

Went to La Sosta for dinner -very nice

Is that a minion?

I have the overpriced Phillips that's just a bit bigger but not much better apparently.

What did you have? Would've been lovely in Freo this evening.

eggplant napilitano to start followed by Beef Cheeks

and yes it was nice - haven’t been to freo of an evening in years

Anyone tell me what kind of area ward A2 is in Joondalup hospital?

Its a general ward.. I've had a couple of terrible nights sleep there. Nurses were nice. The view was leafy.

The floor is the linoleum style that your child inside wonders if you threw a bottle of olive oil down the hallway maybe you could slide the entire length of it.

Looking for a rental at the mo.

Looking for a rental at the mo.

Beerfish can help you out- just remember to demand your fair share of pest control.

 

[Shell]

Just drove thru Crazieburn Scotland my lord, that is just getting bigger and bigger. South of Craigieburn actually. There isnt going to be any open fields/paddocks left soon all fking housing.


With no new roads

Good luck.

Looking for a rental at the mo.

Leaving Inglewood?

 

[Forward Press]

Looking for a rental at the mo.

Should be plenty at affordable prices. House prices aren't dropping dramatically but they aren't exactly climbing either. Sort of a holding pattern for the past few years, ideal for first home buyers and renters but not for those with investment property portfolios.

 

[Perth gal]

Leaving Inglewood?

Yeah over it. Plus no need to be here anymore.

Since this is the Perth (cooking) thread anyone else got a convection oven? I was given one years ago and have never quite mastered it. Like this:

 

[Scotland]

Kram EE is great. And by great I mean painfully average.

Back in myyyy day it was 4.9%, brewed in WA and was 30-4-30. Jackpot for a uni student, drinkable full strength beer for $1 a tin. EB was pretty popular at the time but had a much stronger flavour. You could also claim state pride in buying a local brew and if you were some posh UWA w***er you could pretend you were living like the 99% or drinking it ironically or whatever.

Now it's 4.2%, costs $55 a block and is made in Adelaide. Doesn't really hold a lot of appeal beyond faux sentiment. Do LOL when I see people taking it out of WA as checked baggage. Like you know it was trucked in to WA in the first place right?

Yes, although I have not mastered it yet either. My mother can do a perfect roast in her one though

 

[Scotland]

They are good for pork belly if you get it right. If you get it wrong you can burn the top or dry it out too much.

I don't think I've had a can of it in about 20 years, yeah probably wasn't even that bad it just had a very poor 'image' and barely anyone drank it.

I took a couple of leftover blocks from my older brothers wedding in the late 90s, I remember him saying "Doesn't anyone drink this s**t anymore?" as there was heaps of it and almost all the other booze got finished.

 

[Scotland]

Poor students probably buy Tun Bitter or Hammer and Tongs now. Horrible, horrible stuff. Oettinger is only $47 for 24 x 500 mL cans. I'd probably get that.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Melbourne Bitter in the early 2000s was $27 a carton at the Civic Hotel. Would be double that now. That was our carton to go to as povvo students.

Went to the Freo beerfest on the weekend. Third time I've been and has been great every time. No aggro. No dickheads. Just may have been lucky through...or I was the dickhead.

Elite Perth private school forced to outlaw 'sack tapping'

The fad is colloquially called 'sack tapping' and occurs when boys whack each other in the testicles.

Anyone else think Mr Testa is very ballsy for going public with pandemic?
