The Perth Thread

[Kram]

I love Perth but there are a few suburbs that aren't much chop.

Name and shame.

 

[JW Frogen]

I will name one.

Armadale.

Bad reputation, great place to live.

Big blocks, you do not have to listen to your neighor take a shit or take a pee, on the typical new Perth block, lots of trees, privacy and all ameneties of other suburbs.

And our crime rate is lower than other Perth burbs, because all the crims live here and work away from home.

You just have to listen to your neighbours screaming at each other every evening.

Any love for the KGB?

 

[Upgrayedd]

Typical politician.

Speaking of, thoughts on Smith's attempt to take leadership of labor?

Ripping bloke and was a huge loss to Labor federally. I wish Smith toughed it out and kicked Shorten to the curb. Would of been 100% behind Labor with more guys like Smith around.

It's been on the cards for a while, Labor should win the next election, They probably should of won last election, I dont think Labor feels like with MCgowan as the premier they can win power

There is nothing good about living in that area

No. Had to live in G for a few years late teens. Didn't have much trouble but it was a bit depressing. Lots of folks on pensions etc.

I had to live there for 25 years. Nothing good about it.

Well, there's never a dull day in the KGB...

My brother the other day tried to tell us that Kingsley is a 'rough' suburb.

 

[Smeg Head]

Anyone caught up in the road closures for the cycling event on the weekend? From what I hear, the closures were still in-place hours after they were advertised to be reopened, and a huge amount of other roads were closed but not advertised which caused chaos. I've also heard reports that they were supposed to be letting traffic across in intervals but failed to do so in some areas. The route itself looked a mind-boggling decision by cutting off the north-east.

It appears signage indicating closures was left up and out when it shouldnt have been in some places.

Some people have got less time than that for murder.

I know people from the KGB that have got less time for murder

 

[Shane Hird]

Leda, Kwinana, Orelia, Parmelia, Medina...the wastelands.

I guess Marangaroo is pretty bad being next door?

It's not as bad, but it's not good

I live next to the KGB, it's not the best but at least I'm not in Armadale. Or Rockingham.

He might be a ripping bloke but this was pretty underhanded - he isn't even a member of parliament ATM. I agree McGowan might not be the man to win the election - he really doesn't have a spark but the options are quite limited. He doesn't really need to do much ATM other than make the occasional comment as Col and his boys are doing a fine job of shooting themselves in the foot

 

[BALKAN]

What is KGB? Koondoola, Girrawheen, Ballajura?

 

[Van_Dyke]

What is KGB? Koondoola, Girrawheen, Ballajura?

Thought the B was Balga.

 

[Scotland]

Koondoola, Girrawheen, Balga.

 

[The Speaker]

Seemed the opposite of underhanded to me. MPs asked him to do this, he accepted and was upfront about it, and will accept the result, thus making it clear that McGowan will continue to be the leader until the election.

 

[Scotland]

I'd take Armadale or Gosnells over KGB.

Not that it's necessarily any better, it's just more familiar and that's half the work with 'shit' suburbs in Perth.

That whole block Reid Hwy to Ocean Reef Rd East of the Freeway I'd honestly have no idea one suburb to the next.

Is that the one who is about 100 metres from having the Peppermint Grove address?
