I thought I had exhausted Inside Cover and The West rants for now, until Jian sent me their caption competition winner from last week. Japs? Really? Can we expect a photo of an old wall so “chinks” or even “dykes” can be worked in?
Japs? Really?
And the day afterI joked about Broadfield “getting wind” of another double parked car, IC does indeed run a follow up to their incredible “car parked in bus bay” expose. Wot fuck going on?
Also, did anyone read Broadfield’s cringeworthy food review of Parliament House dining room in The weekend West mag? The one where he takes IC colleague Daniel Hatch along as if he’s bestowing some noblesse oblige on the poor bastard. Noblesse oblige is French Mr Broadfield, like the word “wankeur”.
“Young Hatch, who’s background is rural, impressed us with his knowledge of all things fodder…” Fuck off you patronising cunt! I assume it shows just how badly “Young Hatch” needs the job that he didn’t ram the Dahl Gram Salmon up Broadfield’s left nostril. And how does a kitchen where you’d have to “pay him to eat the food'” get a 14 out of 20, which according to his chart is a reccommendation?
On the bright side, you can’t help but applaud the “silken voiced public servant’ who told the the IC crew to fuck right off when they tried to take a photo of the dining room. Bravo.
The Worst of Perth 
I’m pretty sure they could’ve found an appropriate file photo, or asked if Parliament House could provide a photo for use ?

since we’re discussing the quality of WA’s Universites…
Twiggy Forrest introduced a lecture by Apple Founder Steve Wozniak in Perth today. Twiggy thinks WA could become a lot like California.
“Forrest, who has made his fortune shipping dirt in bulk, would like to see, in turn, WA grow into “the smartest state in Asia”.
“It’s the model we should be pursue,” he said.
“We could create intellectual centres of excellence here, which could become hubs and examples for the rest of the world, which draws in the smartest people around the world to come and live here.”
the first thing you’ll need then, Twiggy, is a decent university. California has four universities ranked in the top ten in the world: Caltech, Stanford, Berkeley and UCLA.
UWA is ranked 189th in the world and only 7th in Australia. Curtin is ranked nearly 400th in the world, while ECU and Notre Dame don’t make the list.
admittedly there is a massive population difference, but Twiggy’s fucking dreaming. I’d just like the talent pool in Perth to expand to the point where I can employ somebody that’s actually qualified to do the job advertised.
