The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

I forgot Noel Gallagher was supporting. Hell, I’d pay $50 to see him, $16 for U2 would be a bonus. But in addition to the usual hassles, getting babysitting is an issue for us as well.

Has anyone got a crowd estimate? Was it close to full?

I went and saw jay z who was supporting u2 a decade ago. Stayed for most of u2 but they were the support act in my eyes

Noel Gallagher is pus. Really glad I didn't go now. Cheers.

Noel Gallagher is a hilariously grumpy old man. And his new music is more interesting than anything after the first two Oasis albums.

Not much in the way of concerts coming up at the stadium. Queen minus Freddie Mercury and John Deacon in Feb, that's about it.

A few more at the Arena. Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Michael Buble... I reckon the crowd demographic for the latter will be slightly different to that of the first two. Tool are playing in Feb, I reckon that would be a good gig. Will probably pass on Backstreet Boys, alright.

Yeah all his solo work is great imo. Was a weird support when I heard it, U2 being the popier version of AC/DC

However, the TV is mostly on 22 for ABC kids - because that's modern parenting.

Don't feel bad.

Kids can learn as much from 'Sesame Street' as from preschool: Study

The new findings offer comforting news for parents who put their children in front of public TV every day and/or memorised entire Elmo DVDs, unwittingly.

Not sure I liked the gritty reboot though

I used to work in a building overlooking The Esplanade. before the Elizabeth Quays redevelopment was built. Shenanigans in the park in broad daylight happened quite frequently. It kept the office workers amused.

apart from the who cares factor and just leave him alone, what the **** is going on with this headline

So he was in the CBD?

 

[craigos]

Great advertisement for ice if you ask me. He looks great for his age.

Had a good look at two sides of our city.

Sundowner at Matilda bay and dinner in Kenwick. Holly F, Kenwick is a ghetto!

You watch your tongue, that's my old stomping grounds you're ragging on!

Nah I definitely know what you mean. It wasn't great before I moved there in 2006 but homeswest then snapped up a bunch of properties and it's now full of ice and meth addicts.

 

[Stemp Fester]

I used to live in Kenwick for a long time in the semi-rural zone next to Tonkin Highway and at the time that part wasn't so bad. Drove down there for a nostalgic gander a few months ago and holy shit what a wasteland it has become. Almost like every property has been taken over by some kind of dodgy trucking company using it as a dumping ground.

Nuking the entire suburb from orbit would be an improvement...

 

[Billy ray]

Kenwick pizza still open?

Perth father’s life as he knew it destroyed in instant

Last Sunday Matt Don was clearing trees on his block of land in the Perth Hills — work he’s done countless times before — when a freak accident changed his life.

Horrible.

Don't know this guy but have met his wife a few times. They are good people.

I used to work in Westralia square in the CBD before the BHP building and others were built. Our bulding overlooked the Hilton hotel and there were plenty of times couples would put on a show on their hotel room balcony.

Yep

The Indonesian place near Foodworks?

Apparently it’s OK to punch 10 week old babies in Perth

Something is very wrong

That’s the one

Dodgy but good

Whole case seems very sketchy. I know of someone who went to prison for burning his baby with cigarettes so that's something.

 

[twotooto]

I would just like to point out that there are quite a high number of road works in progress and that it may be giving me the shits. Thank you and have a nice evening.

 

[gaskin]

Gives me the shits too. They keep starting new ones before finishing old ones which means nothing is being finished and it is just wasting everyone's time.
