The Perth Thread

[Illinois Nazi]

I thought female because she needs a note to remind her to get up in the morning.

I don't listen to the radio much at all- what's 6ix? ie what do they play? Do they have those horrible drive shows that seem to be on everywhere at the times I'm most likely to be in my car?

I find that I'm most likely to have my iPhone playing music in my car- if I could find a radio station that played more songs than ads or inane chatter, I'd probably listen to it.

Try 89.3 fm. It's a university station out of Joondalup.

Great music with **** all talking and ads. They play everything. Every day I find myself thinking " I haven't heard this song in years."

Varsity in Nedlands
The Doghouse in Lathlain

Doghouse isnt much, but the hotdogs there are good. Fresh donuts too.

Doghouse isn't great Brah, used to live walking distance when i was like 19 and was great coffee for waking up hung over and still couldnt drive in the morning, rest is Eh

You south of the river folk really struggle with this whole driving caper. Runs like clockwork on the good side of the narrows

We people of the south have just got used to having a freeway, after all our money was used up in building yours. I'm glad that old bloody donkey trail has gone- it was stuffing my back up big time!

Not everyone has 3+ lanes, you know! When we finally get our third lane in, I bet we'll be as good at driving as you NORs are. We might even figure out how to merge by then.

I doubt it, though- because you NORs haven't figured it out yet.

We are smarter down here so we are more likely to figure it out.

Lovely! Thanks- I'll try that as well. Haven't had the radio on at all lately.

i get scared being so close to those concrete barriers just after the narrows bridge around south perth i must admit. i do prefer our luxurious wide lanes and emergency stopping areas on both sides of the lanes

Is it too early to start calling people falling from 10th floors a trend?

It was at the Dynons plaza - Chevron building.... Some are speculating that it could have been a suicide attempt due to redundancies, Very sad.

 

[Borry]

Yeah its not a fun time to be a senior employee with 10 years experience in specific roles getting made redundant.

Can be out of work for a year plus. So, so easy to fall down into hardship from that position.

I work across the road and heard all of the sirens and we thought it was a bank robbery as the police rushed inside the ANZ bank which is next door to the Woodside building.

Not quite the same but both involved falling from a 10th floor. Really is a miracle that both survived, at least I hope this guy will pull through.

I'd say that it would definitely be a downward trend, if so.

 

[Borry]

At least its not coming from the Wesfarmers head office building, it would take the slogan of one of their companies "down and staying down" to a whole new literal meaning.

He might not want to, by the sounds of it. And the medical bills from an attempted suicide, if that was what it was, won't be covered by medical insurance, I don't think.

Gee, what a mess

There are 2 types of girl in Perth. The bogan or the wannabe socialite. That's it. Neither are particularly attractive options

if you find any that dont fit into these two categories...MARRY HER

I always wonder when I see some accidents how the hell it even happened

 

[jerry springer]

decided to go watch the fight at the casino on sunday

So did every other male in perth

 

[Borry]

Except me.

Glad there were pubs,that decided not to fork out money for Main Event (costs a pub $4000 for the priveledge) and I could watch the footy.

 

[Borry]

Classic FB status on my feed on Sunday

"So who is going to watch the fight in Freo?"

One of the replies was

"Which of the 17 are you going to watch?"

Nice inconvenience for the 300 metre queue of Curtin uni students waiting to get into the one bus.

The wife and I are moving to Perth in about 2 months. We have done considerable research on housing and public transport recently, but could always do with other perspectives on the positives and negatives of this city. Our main question is which suburbs would you recommend moving into, where there is a maximum 20 minute public transport ride into the CBD, minimal noise and low crime rate? We have been looking at Tuart Hill, Manning, Bateman, Mount Lawley, Watermans Bay, Booragoon and Maylands. We'll be renting for the first 6 months to a year before we decide on where to buy. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

All good areas except maybe pass on Tuart hill and maylands is a little "mixed" - lots of high rise units but depending where you are looking pockets of "good". Mount lawley is a good area for easy access to city and bars and eating out and some very expensive homes, along with the hipsters and the arty crew - also one of the traditional old areas for housing. Mt hawthorn and North Perth would be other areas that may appeal.

The rest are South of the river which means driving on "that" freeway and while they may say "20 minutes from the City" that certainly wouldn't apply weekdays. I will leave the southites to sell you that side
