The Perth Thread

[Silent Alarm]

Probably, it was named after someone – I remember the GPS not working in my mate's car en route.

I've never played them.

Pretty hollowing hearing about the young man taken out at Cheynes in Albany today. I saw him graduate six weeks ago and remember thinking about how much life and fun all those blokes and girls had in front of them. Sad stuff and a very normal, independent, up for anything, classic young person.

My missus was at cheynes today when it happened, got down there about an hour before it happened. So sad to be taken so young like you say SA

 

[Silent Alarm]

Channel 7 talking about irrelevant swimming lessons and "SEEK AND DESTROOOOY" like that was the angle, considering a young person died, was just typical. It was angering to hear.

He was with my sister at leavers and born just a few days after her. Such a fun-loving, open bloke (though he was a Hawks fan – how could you not be, following them?) who would've revelled in his life from 18 onwards.

Your mistake was taking anything Channel 7 says seriously. It's a pure commercial station, nothing more.

It's been a long time since ive been to Albany but cheynes beach is basically where the whaling station was is it not. I remember that swimming near there was a bit of a no no because sharks were used to going there but this was 20+years ago when the whaling station wasn't all that long ago. Suspect it may be different now

Really sad to hear that he was someone you knew and genuinely hope you and your sister aren't too shaken up by this

At least channel 7 took Jaws off tonight.

Bit behind, but how good is this ground. Admittedly played a fair bit of cricket for Midland-Guildford but the setting is pretty darn nice. Not a whole lot of grounds border a river from what I know. The Charity Match was out of this world as well.

The day DK Lillee and his son tore Pakistan a new one at Lilac Hill.

I was at this game. Best one I went to I reckon.

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.

At one stage without a current license the casino was the only place I knew i would be guaranteed to get in. Obviously not if i was shitfaced....

I felt like a Muslim trying to get through an airport last time I was there, although to be fair it was after mad Monday.

Can taxis refuse to take you anywhere? Is that legal?

I don't believe they can refuse

 

[Quokka]

Its basically refusing a fare so unless they can justify some risk of harm I'm pretty sure it'd be grounds to be fined. Although there's probably some sub rule that covers them if you were asking to be dropped off in Townsville.

Good to see regular public transport after midnight last night.

Illegal but happens all the time

Depends if they are area restricted I think.

Cheers guys. Actually read their code of conduct which says they can't discriminate even based on distance. My brother and his girlfriend just had a bad experience last night.

 

[Stronzo]

They do it all the time. I've had them stop and ask me where I want to go, then speed off again when they haven't liked my answer.

A great many of them are
Paranoid shitheads as well. I've actually taken to riding in the back more often these days, I just can't be arsed with the small talk and having to smell their BO.

Taxi drivers are a bizarre protected species in the media and society - sure their job sucks but considering the prevalence of taxi rape et al as well as mild things like ripping off drunkards, the way they're held in such "leave me alone!" Is bizarre

Hi guys not sure if this is the place, but could anyone recommend:
- Good beachy pubs in the Perth region?
- Venue for Australia Day/Hottest 100 (perhaps ties in with question 1)
- Any other good joints (live music, food or just bad ass activites for a group of dudes to do)
Cheers

Don't go to the OBH whatever you do. Unless you also think you're living on Venice Beach in 1989

What area are you looking for? CBD only or are you willing to travel a bit?

I've heard about these taxi things but I've never actually been able to catch one in Perth..
