More empty vibrancy promises seen by Tristan H. Vibrancy is getting very cargo cult-like, as if by saying it enough, the gods will drop a laneway bar on your head.

“Revitalising” implies, in fact requires, that it was vital in the first place. Which I don’t remember it ever having been, fat cat christmas spectaculars notwithstanding.

Also saw Clockwork Orange for the first time there back in ’93 soon after I turned 18 (you couldn’t get it on video those days, so you could only see it at the cinema, plus my Mum is a fan of the movie, suggested I should see it: what a good call, Mum!). Another Lumiere memory was going to see Paris Is Burning, a prize from the long-gone-yet-legendary RTRFM queer humour radio show, ETHOS (Each To His/Her Own Show) and meeting Wanda-June Honeywell (aka dials doyen Rob Fletcher, who as Frank Calabrese rightly pointed out, is suffering damnation by now doing the twiddling for 6PerthRacists).

I was nabbed by Mr Plod for street drinking just near that sign in about 1989, ambushed at the end of that metal rail crossing by 2 large chaps in a hawaiian shirts. Underhipstercover cops. They were keen for us to pour our longnecks out onto the barren Ent Cent carpark wasteland as we trekked back to The Firm from a party, but was fine with us necking them. Nice of him (?), although it made us very much drunkerer. It’s probably his fault that I was found not too much later dancing to an ironic spin of I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY at the Firm.
I remember my friend calling me several says later to tell me the cops had been around to his house to deliver the fine or whatever it was, so living with parentals, I hightailed it out the front of my house, and yes indeedy was witness to a scene from ‘Division 4’ in my very own brown concrete driveway. Three plain clothes cops in a late model Holden/Ford sedan, in very high spirits, waving a piece of paper at me.
It still astounds me that we gave the ‘Danno’s’ our real names and addresses. Ahhh the daze of innocence.

DAMMIT … apologies for the double post – realized upon re-reading that there were two Mr Plods, not one, and tried to change my writing, but failed due to lack of experience recalling tales from the town of my daze of innocence upon such sites of internet joy. And again I may have led you astray. I think there were 2 cops, but only ONE had a Hawaiian shirt on. The other one had similarly just past the knee shorts, and deck shoes, but I think he was sporting one of those wannabe K-Mart style Hawaiian print shirts. Like a potatoe cut of a palm tree, applied with little care but much fervour.

Wonder if Ballieu would take a leaf out of Barnett Rubble’s book on managing Law and Order? C’mon, what’s wrong with a bit of the ol’ name ‘n’ shame, eh? So what if a few juvenile riffraff get besmirched before being proven guilty, which they are, as you damn well know!
