The Perth Thread

[Biggie]

Lol, exact same route as yesterday's debacle. Lucky I'm not using that today

 

[Perth gal]

Busted water main at the Charles/Vincent Street intersection.

Luckily that's a nice and sleepy intersection so shouldn't cause too many problems.

6-5 shift in what is essentially a shack, bring it on.

Heading over during Easter, pretty excited.

Keen to hit up Cottesloe Beach & Rottnest Island in particular.

Try and get down south if you can

By down south he means Rockingham. One of nature's true delights.

While Rocko I agree is full of kulcha and is bogan free he probably means

Busso
Margs or
Dunsborough

So not even a police officer then.

my beef is not with police officers or even the police department staff. my issue is with poor policy.

if they defeated my challenges, then they may have a good policy. given they are found guilty of a serious offence then that attests to the fact they have a poor and criminal policy and procedure.

I'm a 10 Was expecting all the eastern burbs to be dark red but surprisingly (to me anyway) it's more the inner-city suburbs. And Booragoon.

Very nice, you'll be here during (imo) the best part of the year, weather-wise anyway.

6 for me which is surprising since I'm ~5kms away from the red area where Bibra Lake is.

I'd be interested to see how these maps interrelate to demography.

I would suggest that age and socio-economic status would most relate to heatwave vulnerability - i.e. people who are very old or very young, and also people without the resources to install or pay for the usage of air conditioners.

I wonder if the dark red areas tend to hit one or both of those factors.

Terrible list. Taosted sandwiches should never rate that highly

 

[ioppolo]

Literally on a border between an orange and green zone.

It's not Perth until you've participated in a glassing or complained about drivers that don't merge.

 

[Van_Dyke]

In a 7 rating for that map

Depends how you define nice. I like mid 20s

All I can say is thank god I know the back streets as it was a car park this morning.

I'm so tired of hearing about the weather. It's summer - it's supposed to be hot

We have NEVER had this many days over 40 before, this one pushed it to a record total for summer and its long from finished.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Did you guys ever discuss heatwaves as kids in class. There was alaways a theory/rumour that if it was over 40 3 days in a row youd get to go home, like a snow day. Was that just kid rumours or anything to it??
