I was going to post this last week, but wanted to make sure I could acknowledge the taker of this fine picture, Stephen N. (Via Chris O). Yes it is a worst, and yet also magnificent. If anyone wants to know what is good about living in Perth, you need go no further than this picture. Where else can 10 tanked up blokes travel semi submerged in the sunshine off superb beaches while Gaza burns, Europe freezes and Zimbabwe starves? This is not worst. I think Stephen N should be able to flog the large version of this shot. Perhaps to Rottobloggo’s David Fucking Outrage Cohen for his study wall, or if not, then to the Police Water safety unit. The small version doesn’t do it justice. Click on picture for larger. The famous Quokka Arms Hotel, perhaps not surprisingly, is in the background. These guys all look like prime The Worst of Perth subscribers.

More incorrect capitalisation, and darren still hasn’t learnt to spell “off”, put apostrophes in the contracted forms of “it is” or “I have”, and he still thinks the contracted form of “you are” is “your”.
Now I appreciate the irony of him calling others morons whilst demonstrating repeatedly that he happens to be one himself, but I’m not particularly give to the rather unedifying spectacle of duelling with clearly unarmed opponents, and this is like shooting fish in a barrel. In keeping with our aquatic theme then, I’m throwing him back in. Too small.
