    Echo’s Through Time. Does that mean she keeps hearing the same message over and over again? That could get quite boring, especially for $65 a pop.
    And I wonder why she is surrounded by bubbles? Looks more like a poster for a 5 year old b’day party.

    For $65 a ticket, you’d think she could afford to have a new flyer printed each time she appeared.

    The white out does add a good Kalgoorlie effect though.

    The offending apostrophe is far from being a one-off, though there are of course many other things one could say about this.

    Annette is also blessing Dianella with her presence in the mature singles lounge at the Dianella Tavern – desperate, dateless and full of premature ejaculators. She predicts all those lost souls that never made conception.

    I may not be a dog psychic but I suspect that a Kalgoorlie dog’s major problem is finding something that it does not want to piss on.

    Worked for most of the Petracatella family – great to work for Italians, bring the kids to work and Mumma and Pappa in the back room will force feed and entertain them until work is finished, then all get together for a feed and a laugh. Good times.

      Been to Agostino’s and Uncle Domenic’s many times during my younger years: my Dad had his wedding reception at the former when he remarried in 1984.

      Woggy, yes, but in that endearing way that is sadly dying out.

        Where else could you get seranaded by a guitar and accordion, smack bang at your table, whether you wanted them to or not. They needed to be convinced to go elsewhere, with money.
        I remember the parties of coppers in the back room – pretty wild. No digital cameras in those days, more’s the pity. I could be a very wealthy woman by now!

              Same too. I studied photography at CMC TAFE about 13 years ago: great subject and skills to learn, fortunate enough to have been in that period where film was still the dominant medium, but could see the digital writing on the wall and started pointing-and-clicking in that direction (that’s where I started using Macs).

              However convenient digital is, it has somewhat democratised entry into that sector in a paid capacity: now anyone with a half-decent DSLR and flash, some cheap Chinese studio lighting equipment and an adequate laptop with Photoshop pirated and loaded onto it, can call themselves a professional photographer. No longer do you need to loan out $50,000 or more to equip yourself with Hasselblads, Bowens lighting and and artfully apply reflectors (with an assistant) or filters to get the correct exposure, for you can fix it up in post-production digitally. That, combined with the always-present preciousness of the Hindenberg egos and bitchiness of the scene, finally saw me flip the bird to any aspirations to the scene. And the truer that I live my life in concert to my ethics (as I do now), the happier I am that I bypassed the turn-off to that town of glamourous sheen and hyper-competitive one-upmanship, all about pretence and polishing turds to a high level of unreality, pandering to vanity.

              Bah humbug to that bullshit.
