Remember that stupid birthmark campaign? First time contributor Meredith found a particularly egregious example not in WA but in another state. I don’t remember Gofa.

It was a campaign to encourage buying stuff with the WA logo on it or something.
The didactic jingle went something like:

As a piece of non-threatening architecture, I quite like it, but the way that they ignored the fact that King’s Park is a war memorial in order to pander to vocal relatives and the usual talkback suspects was pretty shabby

I have no idea why you would expect intelligence from me Richarbl. That point aside, tell us all about your G spot research. I can’t wait to hear all about it.

Obviously shazza, skink and snuff don’t think I should be on TWOP so why don’t we have an referendum of our own.
Why don’t the next twenty people to login cast a vote to decide?
If I get less than fifty percent I will never login nor post again.
The question…. Should richarbl be a part of TWOP? Yes or No.
I will put down shazza, skink and snuff for three NO,s just to get the ball rolling.

Well TLA Thanks for allowing me to have my say on your fine blog but I think I just one of those epiphany things that skink keeps banging on about.
For me this site has become too one dimensional which I think is a great pity as I truly believe it has an important role to play in the overall fabric of Perth but the incessant negativity has simply outweighed the fun factor.
Good luck to you all.

Depending on your vintage you may have shaken hands with Todd McKenney, who was animating old Percy in the late 80’s early 90’s – he even deputised for Reg Whiteman as the Obese Feline when he needed to be in more than one place at the same time.
Here is a current shot of Reg with the latest version of the Obese Feline who I believe is being animated by a female.
