Archive for the ‘worst garden’ Category

Turf came through with a classic worst (in fact several, all of which will feature soon), from the Perth suburb of Success. When you live in a place called Success, why would you need to clear a broken toilet from the front lawn? Looks like it would be easier to read the paper on the [...]

“Warm the set and cool the tinnies!” Norm, Life Be In It campaign.
“Get a tinnie in your claw.” Alf, Home and away.

The Tacky Taco
