Inner city decay, causes and symptoms. Honey Piglet sees the cause. It’s future Perthers of course!
And the result of this future Perthing? Gondalez notes some more baffling transient graffiti. 
And further future Perther degeneration seen by Ben W. Or is this just post modern?
But no matter how bad, the inner city gets, you can always be sure that Midland will be overpopulated with plonkers. From Sarnia.

There is also one out at the Eastern Entrance (the Food Court side) at the Morley Gonorrhoea. Unlike teh one at Hillarys, it does absolutely SFA should you try to feed it coins. Totally static.
Also totally perplexing, just like the walrus and seal sculptures around the
PogromProgress Street end. Maybe requires a shopping trolley too…LikeLike

I must confess I was not disappointed by Gary Ashead’s ‘special investigation’ into ‘Perth’s Hairy Underbelly” in Teh West today.
the ‘special investigation’ seemed to be a random series of dull anecdotes from Kizon’s charge sheet, all of it already in the public domain, pasted together with little narrative.
the only thing proved so far is the WA is the ‘Get-away-with-it State”

I leave it to readers to join the dots…
can I be the first to nominate TLA for the Slimes Pride of Australia gong?
and regarding things Worst: the Slimes also had two good stories about Fazio’s movie “Two for me, One for You”. One story wondering what happened to all the money , and a second in which Rai suggested he may write a TV crime show based on the Perth criminal fraternity.
Maybe he could have a meeting of minds with Gary Ashead and they could collaborate on a TV version of “Perth’s dark and moist Underbelly”

I wandered, druggy as a trolley
That floats on fumes of herring balm,
When all at once I said ‘O Golly’,
A host, of rotting manky palms;
Beside the stove, beneath the sign,
Of golden dolphins mincing in the seas.
Continuous as the cars that shine
As they clog the gaseous freeway,
They stretched in fear-inducing line
Along a graffiti’d pavement of decay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Waving their fronds in evil prance.
The weeds beside them shrank; as they
Radiated their worstful ‘tude:
A hack could not but feel dismay,
At such things in health so rude:
I retched–and gasped–but little thought
This was the future other cunts sought:
‘Cos now, when on my beanbag I lie
In hungover or vibrant mood,
The blackening of the metro sky
Makes me a fearful of the outside dude;
The city is bathing in terror qualms,
As every wanker grows the palms.
