Since there is apparently a strike here at Curtin today, here is some graffiti from the toilets of The Swan Inn in Fremantle. It was taken a while ago, but still shows the constant struggle between organised labour and ah, scab cunts. Other pics from that series were shown here in Nov 07. Hello Jarad.

I am at work.
my silence is due to the office intertube link being on the blink, and because the keyboard monkey was tardy fixing it.
I should point out that I am a member of one of the learned professionals, so my wellbeing is looked after by Royal Charter.
My belief in social justice is only on account of being a belligerent contrary bastard
the rest of you may well be fuckhead scab cunts, especially if you later take advantage of benefits as a result of industrial action by others.
Truthers, LaRouchers and now Ayn Rand: is this site becoming a magnet for arsemuppets?

Shazza, surely you know me well enough to know my days of beret-wearing agitation are long behind me, approximately coinciding with the time I started earning proper money and ceased relying on the rorting of government benefits (and moaning about the paucity thereof).
Lamentably, I too have retained my sense of social justice, but unions are just a bridge too far these days (with the notable exception of the Scribes, Sculptors and Stiltwalkers Alliance). I will, however, be sure to have a chardonnay in solidarity with the non-scab cunts, this evening.

If I don’t post tomorrow TLA, you know I have been done away with by John, Matty and the henchmen.
Please ensure Bento gets my stilts, skink gets my Germaine Greer and Anais Nin novels, Poor Lisa gets all the French Feminist books, DFOC can have my Rotto booking for mid October, and Snuff gets the porcelain.

Ha Ha that is actually quite clever and funny Skink although a bit uncalled for given the benign nature of my comment. There were plenty of more disparaging comments on this thread about your supposed absence so why carry on like a dickhead at the mere mention of a discredited quasi philosopher.
Were you upset because you didn’t think of the stupid dick gags that I stole off Ben Elton?
There have been plenty of first time people who have made comments on this site only to be unnecessarily abused and then haven’t returned.
Is that what you want Skink? Do you want this site to be your own precious domain, just you and a few mates swapping insults and tearing apart anyone stupid enough to make a comment you don’t agree with?

you are a sensitive soul, aren’t you?
you still seem not to understand that a lot of folk on this site use irony and hyperbole for dramatic effect. Not all of the opinions expressed by users are necessarily a true expression of their position, and not all opinions have been properly thought through
you chose to make posts that were critical of other contributors, then call foul when you get some back. quid quo pro, and such like. At some point everyone on this site will get called an asshat, and it is usually thoroughly deserved. It keeps us humble.
you make fun of me, I make fun of you, and we all make fun of Rolly.

I love that every year the Dockers fans forget what it is that makes being a Dockers fan such a miserable experience. It’s not that they lose all the time, its that they show patches of brilliance, followed by patches of incompetence. And you fall for it every time.
