“I would have gotten away with this sign too if it weren’t for you meddling Worst of Perth kids!” – Sign Writer.
Hooo-ee. An intense week. A whole city of worsts disappearing under the wrecking ball, West sticker mania, the bafflingly ubiquitous La Chong, (Patti Chong is the definition of ubiquitous in some online dictionaries) Jesus jockey locksmiths, Ai Ya! I wanted to take it down man, take it waaaaaaaaay down. To be once again a special breed of cat. To worst as it were “plein air”. How nice therefore to receive this honest, classic worst from Kitty to calm my fever. One worst that really should have been vanished. Kitty says…
Whilst returning from a sporting to trip in Byford one Sunday, I persuaded my partner to stop at a charming looking ‘pub’ (somewhere near Armadale). Turned out to be a bit of a bikie hangout and we opted to continue our journey – not before spotting this sign in the carpark. Looks like Scooby Doo’s had a hand in it… I think the place was called “Ye Olde Narrogin Inne” ….
Thanks Kitty. Worst well. You’ve saved the sanity of this sentimental old smartarse.
Any restraurant that serves canned soup at a wedding reception has bigger problems than not being able to spell. :)

I came for the missing apostrophe
and stayed for the extra ‘R’.
was there one settler, or several?
I think we need to be told.

I think we have accepted that trade names don’t need it.
The Ye Olde is apparently also on the Style (Heritage) Council’s heritage register.

Elegant worst, TLA. DFOC’s palm and my gum tree are fine touches, too.

Yes, an intense week – and it’s not even morning tea-time on Wednesday.
What next? Style Council classification for the Hyatt? Howard Sattler’s hair preserved in aspic? Noel Chrichton-Browne sleeping rough in the workers’ embassy?
Whatever happens, I’m confident TWOP will bring us the news.
PS: Kitty, please refrain from using the word whilst.

You’re going to stop me using “actually” next.

I’m pretty sure my English teacher from high school would have been delighted with the ‘whilst’!
I felt, given the fact that Ye Olde Narrogin Inne is right next to the Elizabethan village that it was quite in character actually..

I got told off for ending sentences with the word “but” yesterday. As in I should be using “though”. Not as in “I really like eating at Settlers, but…”

yes I was hoping the Cocos would be noticed.

There is absolutely no limit on swearing. What are you talking about? Or even peurile name calling. Things that might bring legal problems to a blog that has no income is the only limit.

I think young Skink is still upset about being banned by young William on Pollbludger :-)
