The Perth Thread

[Matele]

Interesting, but I'm not sure how it relates to Perth.

Wrong thread ^_^

Today marks 1 years since this thread began. 246 pages in that time is not a bad effort (although most are filled up with complaining about drivers or the weather) but with Teriyakicat posting in here, I'm surprised the thread isn't double the size.

Sorry.

I will try to do better this year
OK everybody, grab a glass

I propose a toast to BALKAN - the OP of this thread, without whom we would not have had 365 days filled with moaning and whining errr ... I mean fun, laughs and educated discussion.


To Balkan!!

Thanks Teriyakicat , I look forward to whining about the impending heat waves and eagerly await the first shark attack so we can re-ignite the shark culling debate.

Don't forget to save some breath for a few rants about Christmas shopping, shopping in general, holiday traffic, holiday destinations, etc.

 

[Teriyakicat]

Oh- and bushfires!

And most importantly the lack of taxis during Christmas/New Year

 

[Illinois Nazi]

We have Uber now.

oops- yes, sorry. I don't use them but you're correct. They will feature in this thread for sure!

 

[XXRL]

And the lack of daylight saving...

 

[Beerfish]

..which is awesome.

 

[Teriyakicat]

yes- though it doesn't take up as many pages as it deserves, does it?

My bee in the bonnet ATM is the construction of bike lanes on Scarborough beach road in Mt Hawthorn/North Perth. Super busy road which has now been reduced to one lane in either direction and I'm still to see a ****ing bike use it. I don't have a problem with City of Vincent investing in these bike lanes closer to the city but the reality is that up until Oxford Street there are no bike lanes along scabs road and once you get to Charles Street it stops - like, what is the ****ing point

Armadale is really a hole of a place. Been here 15 minutes and almost seen two fights, being asked for smokes left right and centre, etc etc.

Nah I am, I just try to avoid that place like the plague generally, even though it's probably my closest centre.

Haha- well it sounds like today gave you just a little more incentive to keep avoiding it, hey?

Scabs Beach Rd bike lanes are just the first stage, they will extend all the way to Fitzgerald eventually. The road really isnt that busy tbh

Could really use DLS up in the Kimberley. Its bright sunshine at 5am and the sun sets by 5:15pm.
