The Perth Thread

[Scotland]

Woolies South Lake? ALWAYS busy.

Possibly. Was a Caltex Woolies not far from Bibra Dr. Not generally a part of the world I explore.

 

[gaskin]

The one next to the shopping center? That one is usually expensive.

 

[JoseMourinho]

I just always go to murdoch lol. $7.40 saving for 4 hours is a waste of time.

Should read SookNow (New name for Perthnow). Anything that Colin does that you know tries to make Perth better is met with the following responses from the armchair infrastructure experts:

• OMG, I THOUGHT WE HAD NO MONEY, WHY ARE WE BUILDING THESE WHITE ELEPHANTS WHICH WILL GENERATE NO MONEY (Yes, all from that Steve!)
• WHY NOT BUILD TO KWINANA INSTEAD? (which has no infrastructure yet but probably the next thing but lets complain about it now)
• WE DON'T NEED TRUCKS, WHY DON'T WE BUILD RAIL INSTEAD?
• WE DON'T NEED A NEW STADIUM, SUBIACO IS FINE (yes, I've legitimately seen that response and laughed!)
• ROE 8 WILL DESTROY THE WETLANDS

I think my new pastime will be trawling Perthnow

As someone who works in logistics involving sea ports the throwaway notion of just heading down to Kwinana and building a new operating port would take a decade at least but you can't tell people that. The sale of the ports will be a mess with the amount of land and other things belonging to the Port and the state of disrepair a lot of it is. They had the Kwinana side of the authority for sale for 2 years and not one nibble. When you go down there it's rusting cranes that have toppled over and abandoned machinery from when BHP owned the land. It's like soviet Russia ffs.

Colin Barnett's son got bashed at Metros nightclub on the weekend so old Colin might have a few enemies out there.

Poor guy looks like his old man too.

I'm of the theory he was pissed up with his girlfriend after a day on the lash at the Polo with that other spoilt bastard offspring and went to Metros acting like a twat. Not many bruises either and he didn't press charges. I'm calling bullshit that it was unprovoked.

His ladyfriend looks like a humble lass too.

This is why ISIS want to see the world burn.

 

[Beerfish]

Heh. I thought it was weird that he reckons he was 'punched in the face three or four times' yet the article said he received 'minor injuries'. Must have been pretty pissweak punches.

Someone mentioned that but self-proclaimed infrastructure expert, Steve told him that he was wrong and Kwinana was fine

I'm voting for Steve.

Yeah I thought that was strange too, he didn't look like he was injured at all, you'd expect at least a couple of bruises from being punched in the head and I doubt it played out the way he said it did if he isn't pressing charges.

She looks like she's sucked so many... straws?... that it's permanently deformed her face into a sucking motion

As I said before - I am not joking about the Subiaco comments

Nek Minute "It's unfair on subiaco to have such disturbance when events are on"

 

[WCErevival]

Need a lot of wood for those extra bench seats.

 

[Off The Couch]

Personally I think they should have made the seating capacity bigger at the new one

 

[gaskin]

I agree although I do think it will be some years until we actually get 60k every week.

 

[Forward Press]

I thought the new stadium was expandable?

 

[Beerfish]

I thought the new stadium was expandable?

Hopefully it's not collapsible.

 

[gaskin]

I thought the new stadium was expandable?

Yeah by about 10k I think.

Eagles have a 20k waiting list now, we would be giving it a nudge most weeks.
