Natalia Fan#1 wanted to make his own Perth bench challenge from North Beach. Bill and Dot’s bencherisation starts sort of OK as a public service at a bus stop, but rapidly descends into insanity with an Eagles/Dockers number surrounded by animal friends. Jeez that Dockers logo is a stinker. Haven’t they dropped that abortion? The text on the football seat says,
“Rest-A-While
Seat donated by Russell family
Restored by Bill & Dot”.

Obviously they are still waiting for someone to donate the cyclone fence. Keep all the bloody animals out of your face.

The first one at the bus stop is kind of cute, like the old couple of the neighbourhood are trying to look out for their neighbours. But the second one is just horrible. Poor design effort Bill + Dot. Is that an Aboriginal flag boomerang snuck in there above the Eagles side of the bench as well?

Perhaps if there’s a rise in wild seniors behaviour we’ll see glasses on chains hanging over powerlines instead of sneakers. And perhaps graffiti of zimmer frames without an owner, “I <3 my Metformin" or "Dot is fugly skank!" scrawled on walls across Perth.

Seniors graffiti would probably be more like “Dot gallivants about like she’s the Queen of Sheba”.

Or: “Dot sux dogz dicks.” Mind you, my granny’s a Dot, and she’s the big 100 in August. We call her Teh Bantam, or Teh Bantam Menace, and several other things besides.

Good on her making the big 100 NF#1! Is she looking forward to her letter from the Queen? Or couldn’t care less? My other half’s granny is 93 next month. She’s a Jean, not a Dot. To hear her talk you’d think she should have dropped dead 30 years ago. Sounds like yours is of a much fiestier breed.
“Dot wears trousers like Katherine Hepburn” might be more appropriate perhaps in your granny’s case.

True Bento, I didn’t think of that. Seniors don’t use the lingo kids do these days. “Dot is a Charleston-dancing knock-kneed floozy” would be more like it, eh.

True story: Playing Scarbble with Teh Bantam Menace a couple of years ago. At one point she looks sheepish and asks “I’ve got a bit of a sexy word, can I use it?” Anyway, puts down C-U-N-T. Missus and I blush and don’t know where to look. TBM looks at me and says, “I don’t even know what that means.” Yeah right, but 98 yo at the time mind you. Next game, a week or two later, she put down D-O-X-Y, but admitted to knowing meaning of that one. Could go on here, but point of the story is that oldies are far more filthy than we typically give them credit for.

My grandmother taught me the C-word in the course of a game of scrabble many years ago. Couldn’t resist the three points…

My grandmother would have died rather than use a word like that. She considered herself a good Christian woman and believed ladies don’t use that kind of language – her philosophy on that was lost on me!
My friend’s mum who is a granny now, aged around 70 yrs and looking rather like the character Ogra from the 80’s movie The Dark Crystal, regularly uses the C-bomb in conversation. She’s also particularly fond of using the phrase “cock smoker”. She’s at her scariest when playing cards. There’s no cuss word she won’t use.

You might note the prevalence of the word “Coño” amongst elegant and cultured Spanish Ladies of a “certain age.”

Love me Bantam, and her stories. Here’s a good one:
Dot: I had a cousin in Adelaide, Daisy – never got married, but lived most of her life with Frank.
NF1: That must have been a bit scandalous back in the 30s…
Dot: Oh no, Frank was a woman. Francis her name was, but we all called her Frank.
NF1: You don’t think they were lesbians or anything?
Dot: Oh no, we didn’t have anything like that back then.

Ah, how cute. I see Perth’s commitment to all things bench continues unabated. Keep up the recumbent work. Is that an Aboriginal flag boomerang I see before me, or a breach of copyright?

Despite the unfortunate fact that no one, ever, in the history of anything, has ever sat on one of those streetside benches, we continue to plonk them along the verges of main roads. It’s almost as if they’re only there to provide space for advertisements.

No, no, you misunderstand me, it was praise. The irony, as Bento comments above, hardly anyone sits on them. In all my traipsing around Perth I’ve only seen a handful used. Some indeed are unusable, dangerous or both. I’ll see if I can find examples in my collection of bench pictures.
