Melbourne TWOP stringer Meccano flew into town today to be confronted with this worst at the fucking airport! If he hadn’t already deposited his fruit in the bins provided, he may have turned straight around. Again, banality, meets astounding. This is number nine in the fleet. I shudder to think what the plates of 1 through 8 say. Wasn’t “Assman” available? “Knobflogger”? “Beavrdammin”? “cntkini”? Not even “Locknload”? Meccano, what can I do but apologise that this dispiriting and depressing van was your first sight on arrival in Perth. I’m sure your journey past The Maracoonda, The Red Castle, the motel where that prozzie was murdered, and other one next door where the 13 yo girl also worked as a prostitute, as well as the Smiths’ Burswood bronze infection would have lifted your spirits after that inauspicious and frankly baffling start. I hope the taxi driver was inarticulate enough for you to not understand his enthusiastic description of a sculpture park to be built on Heirrison Island. No, I’ve said too much.
The Worst of Perth 
Praise god, pass the key
Meccano has been warned and
The ending is vile.

When people commit their lives to Jesus and repent of their sins they are given The Key to Heaven. However, you can own the key to a house, but if you are outside and the door is locked you cannot gain entry unless you have that key with you. So it is with Heaven….taken from “The Key To Heaven” by Graham Pockett
…and if you are locked out completely (Heaven forbid) then call SAS

This is one point not covered in “Very Small Bsiness” . In order to drum up business you pretend to be a Christian, however the public being the pile of cunning shits they are also pretend to be Christians and claim heaps of freebies.

Am I the only person to wonder what vehicles 1-8 have as their number plates?
Or where the Ichthys sticker is?

So you did. I was dazzled by your suggestions, and wondering if WA has the same sort of online interface to mock up personalised numberplates as some of the DMVs do in the USA.

Am I the only one to notice the business is apparently based in Leedervile? Perhaps it’s the fire-and-brimstone end of Leederville.
