The Perth Thread

Went down to Freo tonight.

I swear, I never see anyone in Joe's fish shack.

The one thing that Perth really can't do well and that's fish n chips. A few good bakeries would be good as well.

You're going to the wrong fish and chip places.

Beaufort St Festival canned due to it being too popular? Farkin lol!

Funnily enough I was just reading through this thread moments before reading nobbys post and suffice to say I found the contrast to be dazzling. That guy gets it.

Wait a minute? Is that "culture" I see in those photos?

The photographers skill in DOF would make a bowl of plain yoghurt appealing.

Gross underestimating of plain yoghurt tho...

What time? I've eaten there twice in the last month and it's been reasonably busy by the time we left both times. It's also a ****ing big place too. Their stuffed prawns are pretty damn good.

Good point.
Add some garlic, salt and some lemon juice and pile it on hot chips and it is the bomb.

Last I heard they were planning more small bars in Subi in preparation for them losing the footy, but it will be interesting to see what happens to the area when it does go.

The income generated from parking fines alone will ensure a substantial drop in income will occur to the local council - they will be able to halve the number of rangers they have

I went there once and figured since they can afford to advertise on TV (and it's not a chain) that it would be pretty good.

Wasn't.

Any recommendations then?

Left at about 6:30. Admittedly it was a quiet night, Little Creatures were far from packed.

Old Trout in Bassendean one of my great places.

It's better to perhaps do smaller events instead of one big one. The last two years were an abomination due to sheer size of the crowds. The cost is also massive now.

Went out on Sunday for lunch and to watch the NBL in Northbridge hoping that UFC shit would be done by 2pm. First place tried was 'The Game' which is normally fine but there was a line to get in and when in there was like something from Snatch. Wall to wall Irish backpackers/Pikies smashed to the back teeth after arriving there at 8am fighting each other, tripping over themselves and some trying to light ciggies inside. All bottled beer and canned spirits sold out, no money in the ATMS, 10 minutes wait at the bar at least. Moved on to the Brass Monkey where it was again full of pikies but not as bad so got to watch the game albeit with pumping dance music. None of the backpackers were kicked out despite the way they were acting going up to random strangers and hugging them then were obviously taking pills because then they got all loving and sensual with each other dancing to Justin Beiber.

A lesson for all. Don't go in to the Northbridge the day of a UFC PPV..especially if McGregor is on the card. It's like St Patricks day on bad acid.

11 dead - terrible weekend on the roads. My heart breaks for each and every one of them and their families regardless of what may be the circumstances behind their deaths.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Shocking stuff. One was from complete stupidity though overtaking on a double white line over a hill crest on Indian Ocean Drive. Then again they weren't locals.

Driving home from Perth on the Great Eastern hwy was surprisingly quiet last night.

Don't have to be a local to know this is a bad idea.

The accident that killed the guys in Bruce Rock was obviously from doing something very stupid to manage to crash in the main street.

Local as in Australian. The ones that caused the accident were foreign nationals according to the news.

Point stands. Not passing on the crest of a hill is common sense not bound by nationality I would have thought and while there may be countries where double white lines means it's okay to pass, I'm not aware of any.

The Fish Shack on Weaponess road in Scarbs or Mt Lawley Fish And Chips are my two favourites.

Judging by some of the youtube clips you see Russians seem to think it's okay.

German backpackers arent the brightest drivers over here, I thought that country had the best learning programs in the world.
