Had a lot of submissions in the last couple of weeks, and some promised to go up have been delayed a bit. Sorry. Coming. The most extraordinary submission was from International correspondent Bento, jaunting the globe in the company of a good woman, still managing to snap a few international worsts (or wursts in this [...]

Now don’t get me wrong, I love London Court, despite, or perhaps because of how ridiculous the premise was and how out of place it is. For overseas worsters, London Court is a shopping centre built in Olde Englande style, in 1937. From the website, London Court is, “The only walk in the world outside [...]

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, [...]

Haven’t had much architecture lately. A building involved in the jailing of a Premier that surprisingly wasn’t Brian Burke for a change. Liberal Ray O’Connor was found to have accepted a cheque for $25 [...]

I have had The Pacific Motel in Harold Street Highgate in my own photo waiting list for a long time, but since Poor Lisa also went out and shot it, I’ll use hers. She sent me this quite a while ago, and I had to avert my eyes a little from my inbox, as I [...]

More clearing the backlog of submissions, but this one is astounding. This apparition, complete with nappy is in Belmont, the home of a few worsts in it’s time. This one is from Mulberry. Mulberry went on to condemn pointy knobs on houses as a worst architectural feature. I’m not actually anti knob Mully, but [...]

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 [...]

During The Son of Fed Square debate, the sober discussion of form following function degenerated into a rather squalid concentration on the computer generated figures that populated the scene, and whether some were naked. David Cohen, Anonymous Perthon and Golden1, I’m particularly looking at you. I think that Vivifyer took responsibility for these nudies wandering [...]

I’ve never noticed this church next to Hyde Park until Kat sent in this picture. Kat says…
The attached neglected (but I believe, still used) church of some obscure denomination wouldn’t be nearly as bizarre if not for the location. Right next to lush, leafy Hyde Park. On the southern side. Very strange, it looks like [...]
