The Perth Thread - Part 4

[Perth gal]

We still have to wear them at work.

Potentially the dumbest thing I’ve seen in this thread, on this board, nay in my life. Ever. We are all stupider for having read that. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.

Ol Jack, wears a muzzle, loves our state daddy, very obedient, never has or will run a business.

We still have to wear them at work.

That is sad.

That is sad.

She's a nurse. Not a greenskeeper.

Don’t recall it raining that much at all in the city - had lunch outside

daughter said it bucketed down out at Wattle Grove

This reminded me of someone in this thread.

99% of people who die in car crashes are seatbelt wearers. You really think your precious seatbelt is going to save your life? If YOU personally think seatbelts are keeping YOU safe, why should I have to wear one if you're already protected? I've never worn a belt in my entire life and I've never had a problem. Wake up and ask why we can't question the pro-seatbelt agenda. I REFUSE to be restrained by the government or by my vehicle. Free thinkers will rise while the sheep will strangle themselves on these restrictive chains. How much are we hurting our economy by forcing people to spend all that extra time every day worrying about their precious piece of string?

TBF, a mate in primary schools older brother was in a bad accident and only survived because he didn't have a seatbelt on.

Is this serious or a pisstake? Surely the latter?

Of course it's a pisstake full of sarcasm - but the worrying thing is that the language used is similar to a poster in this thread whose views on masks are quite sincere - and it isn't just legitimate questioning of their effectiveness.

When New Seat Belt Laws Drew Fire as a Violation of Personal Freedom | HISTORY

The 1980s battle over safety belt laws reflected widespread ambivalence over the role and value of government regulation.

There is a minority that still oppose those laws

Ultimate irony/Darwin award winner came in 2005 when an anit-seatbelt campaigner died in a car crash when he was thrown from the vehicle. The other 2 occupants of the car survived because they were wearing belts

Planning a mini-holiday with the missus one upcoming weekend at Moore River/Guilderton area.

Have already lined up the observatory, is there anything else up there worth doing?

Golf or canoeing up the river. Other than that not much.. which is just the way I like it.

If you are heading to Moore River, it’s to just chill and relax.

You could do the Pinnacles but that’s another 100kms or more up the road and given it’s only a weekend I suggest you just stay put.

Am I the only one that thought Moore River Guilderton was crap?

Yes

 

[daniologist]

Nope. I'm not a fan either. Stayed at Seabird for Xmas a couple of years ago, that was also crap.

 

[Off The Couch]

Suppose it’s all about what you are expecting, as it’s predominantly a place for fishing, trail bikes, camping, hiking etc.

If you are looking for a fancy resort and a cafe strip then it’s probably not your thing

 

[Beerfish]

My in laws used to have a place overlooking the river on Moore River Drive. It was ****ing magnificent. Really wish we still had it. The only thing the area is missing really is some forest.

Some good 4x4 driving beach/tracks up there to if you like that sort of stuff.

Sounds like a weak prick who doesn't see 24 hours in the day/ 24 beers in a carton as a challenge to take on.

 

[Beerfish]

Seabird.. lol

 

[Off The Couch]

Isn’t that the place that’s about to fall in to the sea

The retirement village that's about to fall into the sea yes.

I remember fishing for yabbies in the Blackwood river down south when we were kids.
