The Perth Thread

[Scotland]

Who gives a shit it's not as if it's going the be easier to fake or something because it's a couple of weeks expired, common bloody sense. Plus I was about 22 and looked that age.

I've been refused entry for the same reason.

Happened once at Burswood. Just went to 4 different doors until I found a bouncer who didn't care or couldn't tell the difference.

Do they eventually make you actually update the photo on a driver's license? I've got same one on mine since I was 19, 14 years ago..

Not to my knowledge. I think my photo is from about 2003/4, so I look 12 instead of 14.

If Michael Jackson had a Perth drivers license that could have made for some interesting explanations

Lets not get started on Casino bouncers. They are getting slammed by all and sundry I know at present. Seems that Ryan Harris was right in that tweet after the WACA test last year.

I think it's the same where ever you go - casino, clubs, transit cops, hospital security - you can see it in the body language as to how importantly they take their job - some not all, appear to be those that would have or have failed to get into the police force (and it's obvious why) so take these jobs to compensate for it.

Im sure though the same scenarios are played out across Australia.

I am confused though about the expired licence - what difference would it make. It in fact seems logical considering how often they are lost on big nights out

I've never had a problem with the casino bouncers. Mind you I rarely go there.

One said I was too drunk to go in once. I had one beer. Apparently leaning against the wall means you are drunk.

Been told the same on multiple occasions after having nothing to drink.

You can't use expired licenses.. I don't know why though. Because it might not look like you? I'm not sure.

It makes sense for those machines that scan your ID and keep your face on profile so you don't go around glassing campaigners, but you wouldn't think it would matter if you're just trying to get into the casino.

So turns out that kiwi fruit up at Roy Hill was poisoned with cyanide, wtf

It all sounds a little suss tbh - I mean, one guy, come on. He also said that it 'smelt funny' and from what I know, cyanide doesn't have a smell.
My son in law works on this site - says it's the most interesting thing to happen in ages and that there are detectives and forensic teams all over the place.

Yeah we do some work up there as well, security guards have been posted in the crib rooms up on site haha.

I'm wondering how someone got a hold of cyanide in the first place.

Some fifo bloke having a mental breakdown and trying to poison someone?

I honestly believe it was someone's ****ed up idea to shut the site down hoping workers would get sent home over Christmas .

Might've been the bloke who "discovered" the fruit himself, looking for attention?

I thought cyanide smelt a bit like almonds.. Or is that "tastes" like almonds? Has anyone here actually tasted it?

Hmm- sure. Yeah, I'll have a lick- just so I can describe it accurately. I'm a scientist, you know!

Nicked it from a gold mine?

Why does everything in this thread revolve around highways and bushfires?

Dammit! I was just about to ask if anyone else has got white ash flying in their front door from the bush#%^* just south of Perth! You've ruined my post!

Most of them are going home over that period anyway. Such a strange and random thing to do

Had a look at our old house in Perth on Google Earth inspired by this thread, our part of Manning is now Salter Point it seems. Managed to use Google Earth to navigate from there to Manning Primary, funny the things you remember.

Google Earth is great- for me, it's like noticing all those little things on Where's Wally.

Last week I was checking my son's address on my computer as I was talking on my mobile and couldn't check there. I started mucking about while I was chatting and clicked on "street view". Outside his front hedge is the neighbour's little dog, having a sniff. Next door, his neighbour (male) is looking straight at the camera on the car taking the photos, while the neighbour's wife has her back to the camera and is looking at her garden.

When I showed that to my son, we tried to work out when the photo was taken, so we looked at my house. Previously, my car was just arriving and parking in the garage, as I had my brake lights on. Now that picture has been replaced by closed garage doors but I can see a chicken hawk circling above my front yard, checking out my chickens!!

Are they? Most mines I know work through Christmas.

Even if most are going home, some aren't. I wouldn't put it past some people to try something like this on to get time off.

All I know is that the son in law is an electrician and that as far as I know they are all coming home at that time - maybe the rest of the trades / workers are staying who knows.
