The Perth Thread

[The Speaker]

That's another Perth thing - is there any major building in Perth that is not sinking or on the point of falling over?

Genuinely alarming when you look at the GPO - cracks appearing at every archway.

Probably been like that since the 1920s.

nothing a few anchor bolts couldn't fix.

No, these have all appeared within the last few years. They are very obviously new cracks.

You mean, since we dug a big hole underneath it for the underground railway station?

 

[The Speaker]

Yep, and for the car park.

 

[Admiral Byng]

Yep, and for the car park.

Ah well, thank god I can do most of my post office type shopping online. I remember going there at lunchtime to stand in a queue to pay bills, in the dark distant past when I used to work in the city.

*Cilantro, allows the cafe/restaurant to add a few $$ to the price.

 

[Harry Yorkie]

Anyone parked in the Convention Centre car park recently? More lumps and humps than a Baywatch reunion.

At least when it sinks in the ground people will stop complaining it's ugly.

Parked there last week. Over $16 for three hours, thieving mongrels.

Get out.

 

[Forward Press]

Solar eclipse in Perth!



Snuck up on me, I normally keep track of these things.

 

[Smeg Head]

well you are plebs who will be shocked when Elizabeth Quay is flooded and the GPO building falls over

Well thanks to one of the site managers I now know why the water park is ****ed. No suprises its because all the plumbing is shit and needs to be redone. Apparently brought in some eastern state mob of plumbers to do it, who technically aren't licensed then as such to do work here so they are trying to hush that part up.

Lots of places do fusion, and the quickest way to do Asian fusion is to chuck a few sprigs of coriander in it.

Me also, one memory was of a bored looking Glen Jakovich sitting behind the teller serving me being trained. Eagles must have decided being a mechanic was too much strain for him.

Surprised that he was capable of it.

May have mistaken the vacant look on his face for boredom rather than stupidity.

Must have been an eagles thing to get young blokes into banks back then. I remember seeing a young ash mcintosh working in what was then challenge bank near the Wesley church on William street in the city

 

[Kram]

It's not really all that hard, just gotta maintain your workrate.

 

[Forward Press]

It's not rocket surgery.

Karl Langdon reckons he was working in a bank when it was robbed by Brendan "postcard bandit" Abbott. So looks like it might have been a theme for young footballers.

I can go one better, The Queens has started referring to lettuce on its menu as just "leaves".

Should add, the CBA building has actually fared worse than the GPO.

 

[Scotland]

Glen Jakovich worked in the post office when he joined WC.

I see him a bit like Woolworths ambassador David 'if I wasn't playing cricket I'd still work here' Warner.

 

[Kram]

Abbot is getting released from QLD but still has time to serve back here.

Big Jo Angel the former WA circketer and 4 Test superstar was a postie in the CBD back in his playing days. I remember seeing him walking round the city with his post trolley.
