Trying to knock off a few more reader submissions. A nice one from Damien from the train, which suddenly appears to have gained a Scottish accent approaching Moount Lawley. Perhaps in honour of The Flying Scotsman? Thanks to Damo who is also promising to get a shot of Stephen Smith’s hair for us.
The Cookster has [...]

To say I opened a night club to allow people to do drugs, even in the bathroom - do people think I’m insane? Do they think I’m going to throw everything away - even my own children’s future, so people could get high in a nightclub? It’s ridiculous.

I wish I had taken a shot [...]

A long anticipated worst vanishing has finally happened. The Jumbo is extinct.
One of the lions had already been liberated last week, but the other was still attached to its pedestal. Must have been too heavy to carry off. I suppose it ended up in the rubble. Will be a lovely office block now. Goodbye Jumbo, [...]

Months ago Bento sent me this picture of a mauve house in Highgate. (See I do get there eventually.) Yes, Bento I can dig it, but frankly I’m more concerned with the gold Kingswood parked outside. A slight pan to the right would have really nailed this worst Bento! Another couple of shots that show [...]

Another excellent submission from Glenn. Unfortunately this apparition on Beaufort Street Inglewood is now covered over. Looks like a man who would be into “Spanish” to me. I am actually getting through some reader submissions in the past couple of weeks.

The Worst of Perth blog reshapes city singlehanded! (well, with the help of The Mayor, a crane and a huge truck).
I have to take it all back. Recently I opined that The Arse & Boozie sculpture would still be rotting next to Perth Railway Station in 20 years time. Not so. Readers of The West’s [...]

Frank reminded me that that The Biggest Bingo Centre is set to close in a few weeks after 25 years. Do I remember correctly that it used to say World’s Biggest Bingo? Probably saddest is the smokers’ area in the second shot. The third pic makes me think that it is the same architect that [...]

This was a lesson to me. I meant to stop and take a picture of this ugly lingerie factory in Maylands, but decided I could do it later. The next day it burned down. Would have been really cool to have posted it before it burned, so I could have claimed it was a TWOP [...]

Remember the lizard cunnilingus sign at Rainbow Lodge? Look at the mound in the background. It looks remarkably like the Neo Aztec pyramid being constructed by the Bayswater Bassendean(?) Council on Collier Rd. Seems to be part of a business park. I hope that like its Aztec counterparts, 10 000 hearts will be ripped [...]

Remember when you gave your parking money to a human and not a machine? No matter how tired and surly this fellow might have been, he’d still be better than all the parking machines at Perth Airport put together. I meant to post another of these The Worst of Perth Classics to celebrate 100 000 [...]
