The Perth Thread

[Beerfish]

Actually I think you will find that ******* pile of excrement that is MKR is heavily scripted. Its not random average people, its cast and the theme and storylines they want to tell are written in advance.

Still good riddance to those arseclowns who write in the style of a couple of moronic 15 year olds anyway.

If you mean by 'cast' that they're average people cast to fill preconceived archetypes then I agree but they're not actors. My wife used to work with one of the current 'contestants'.

I don't have a single problem with MKR, I just find it cringe worthy when people actually believe it's genuine average people. They get so worked up when someone's a bitch on there.

What a knob. Cultured vegetables?

Hope he chokes on a emu meatball one day.

There was an article that came out last year that revealed a lot about mkr. Scripting, cooking lessons before the show, not the contestants actual houses and a lot of other stuff. I remember catching one of the contestants mouthing the others lines as they were saying it. Clearly scripted. Basically the show is bullshit and I'm surprised people get so into it knowing this.

Cooking lessons? But two thirds of them can't friggin cook!

Like the two morons who over cooked their roasted leg of lamb while TWO timers were stuck to the fridge that didn't get used.

I like that new pommy chick though.

A stunning looking woman.

Almost prettier than Pete the paleo ponce.

I honestly had never heard of alkalised water and activated almonds before Pete's column.

Thanks for nothing Lyndey Milan.

I treat it the same as any sitcom. Scripted all the same but still entertaining it it's own right.

MKR is the second worst show on TV atm. What a disgrace it is

We're calling em malls now?

 

[Juggs Magnetic]

Remember when it was My Restaurant Rules and the Perth one was on the Cappuccino Strip? When I went to uni in Perth I heard a weird ******* story about those WA contestants...

Was that the pollie and his mum?

 

[Righteo]

We're calling em malls now?

Hay St Mall I assume.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Isn't mall a fairly popular Perth word?

My dad is born and bred Fremantle and calls any avenue of streets a mall.

Fremantle Mall, Hay Street Mall, basically anything doubles as an arcade/mall.

Pretty much. We still call (inside) shopping centres, shopping centres, and I doubt that will ever change.

And rightly so.

My old man would lose his shit if we started calling that particular area Malls.

 

[Silent Alarm]

As long as we never go to the Geelong way.

They call shopping centres and street arcades 'mals.'

As in, "my mate Mal (short for Malcolm." Rhymes sort of with 'foul.'

Weird shit.

We've been calling them that since I was a kid in the 70's...

Weird shit.

Any shopping area where the streets are closed to traffic and are pedestrians only.

Ahh yes this is what I mean , yes of course we call the area such as the Hay st mall ...a mall lol.

But to call a shopping centre a mall, umm .......

 

[Scotland]

The pedestrianised sections of Hay St and Murray St are malls.

The perpendicular connecting passages you can walk through buildings between each mall are arcades.

Garden City, Carousel, Karrinyup etc. are shopping centres.

You're welcome.

I think he's more having a go at their pronunciation. A mall is a maul, not a Mal.

Like Queenslanders who can pronounce castle but not Castlemaine.
