Tristan H saw that the downward spiral of Dunsborough is being made even more exquisite. “Le” boatshed? Jeezus. I wonder what Brendon would think? This is not connected to my Le Specs wearing.
People have sent me this Morley wall before. Ninja wants a truck to run through it. It’s not without charm though. 
Outrage Cohen remembers the battery man who used to ply plates of batteries on William Street. Now probably occupied by a shop selling ironic objects to hipsters. 
And Glenn is confused by Am Confused website. I’m not surprised. I am a little confused by their “wacky” graphic design.
And Charlesjhey, now in London, sent this Melbourne shot taken by a friend.
Worst well.

I wondered why that Morley fence had never been Worsted. I confess to having a soft spot for it, too. Better than the vast expanse of beige blandness that is the new fence on the Broun/Coode intersection, just down the road.

There has to be an equivalent of Rule 34. If it exists, there is Hello Kitty of it.
I like the wall very much, but not as much as the sublime batteries.
As for Am Confused, as the second kid/troll hates both of his or her soon to be divorced parents, he or she should plump with Dad for the Playstation, then renege and use Mum’s total freedom to move in with the first kid/troll, then crank up the volume on said Playstation to drown out the noisy sex. Simple.

Off topic but in the interests of the historical record, a magnificent article in Teh Worst today with resident doddering snoozer’s Zoltan Kovac’s ode to the apostrophe. Naturally like the rest of the “paper” I didn’t read it but it is nice to know it is there.
As someone who choses to live in Perth for its lack of change: holes in the ground and inappropriately scaled and sited buildings excluded (thanks Multiplex), one can only applaud the continued editorial direction that provides the spacing between adds for electrical goods and outdoor furniture.

Is it true that Zoltan tried to get redundancy, but was too old for a payout and had to stay on churning out this stuff to keep himself in dog biscuits to dunk into his International Roast?

Ninja may wish to note that a vehicle knocking the wall down merely results in the insurance payout allowing it to be rebuilt in increasingly retina-searing colours. At least, that’s what happened six months ago…
