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.

There’s someone in town who really doesn’t like 6PR Radio. I know that narrows it down to everyone less than 70 years of age, but this particular person often likes to vent their spray on this old corner shop on East Parade in East Perth. I sometimes suspect a The Worst of Perth reader. My [...]

Grovesy sent in this from John forrest National Park. I have a nagging feeling it was mentioned or sent in by someone else months ago, but I couldn’t find it in the 40 pages of emails. Sorry if Grovesy [...]

Of all writings I love only that which is written with blood. Write with blood: and you will discover that blood is spirit.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
Why is this obscenity rendered in blood on a footpath in Karawara? And whose blood was it? Has graffiti (not to mention dongers) become so passe that only blood soaked freehand will [...]

I originally chose it for that stupid Chineser font that gets used every time something Asian is advertised. Dial a chopstix? Ai Ya! But I really liked the old rotary dial phone graphic. A concept [...]

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.

According to 6PR cockjock Howard “Good Riddance” Sattler, Perth pensioners are gnawing on dog bones in the dark these desperate days. If so, is it right that this tavern should have it’s heaters on with the doors wide open during this gas crisis? I have to say yes and YES. It’s like tapping your [...]

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 [...]

Don’t really know what category to put this one in. Perhaps Worst Architecture, because I am sure that when Jackson’s Hotel in Lord Street East Perth, (Formerly The Norwood, ) is demolished, what replaces it will not be an improvement. How about a light brick office complex with some lattice, or perhaps some nice eaveless [...]
