Live Poets and Cosplay. We’re taking it up a notch! By Meccano, Melbourne.
AndNatalia Fan#1 was sent pics of toilet doors in The (Teh) Hague. Perhaps Slobodan himself used one of them.
If you still haven’t had your fill of dumbarse numberplates since we have kinda left them behind, then there’s a tumblr of them here.
Hell by Joel T, Walter Rd Beford.
And Stu shows how not to mix perspex and metal on The Barrio, North Perth.
And Bento has several issues with ASK on Teh Arrondissement, including but not limited to…
* Hairdresser using hilarious play on ‘shear’
* The risible bogan ‘K’ for ‘klass’
* The tortured tautology of ‘absolute’ and ‘shear’, simply in order to create a lame acronym
* Amateur signwriting
* Arrondissement location
* xxxxxx xx xxxxx next door. 
Real shame about the beautiful old home being bastardised like that. The heritage police would go perspex on your arse if you tried that in Freo.
As for hair salon….I reckon someones feelings are about to be terribly hurt by this. My guess is the creator thought it a stroke of brilliance. A cutting edge name. And will accuse us of splitting hairs.

For all those people who wish Perth was more like Melbourne – be careful what you wish for. A timely warning Meccano.

It’s become a reflex now so:
Endangered species I bet. Or: the price of fish these days etc. Or: why was he in Sealanes instead of standing at the end of a jetty, his lithe toes gripping the salt-crusted boards while a salty westerly lashed at his salt-crusted pony tail and his rod bent with the weight of a feisty…I don’t know enough about fishing to write this bit. etc.
It’s funny how I’ve often unconsciously noted 2 of these worsts ASK and the fence, but never been alert enough to do anything about them. ASK is a no brainer.

Isn’t it time for an interactive map or even a walking tour? There is so much in this region. Marilyn and James Dean, Dennis Lillee, the “it puts the lotion on its skin” computer shop, chopstix, IGA noticeboard. I’m sure there are more I havent thought of. Notice they’re mostly on the west side of the road, why’s that?

there was a shop near ask which advertised in its windows, amongst many other things in a very large font, ‘pearl necklaces’. it always seemed so wrong.

And very appropriate if you’ve ever had to wait in the queue for the bowser when they’re the cheapest in town. The question is, was Satan himself serving at the counter? Or just the usual Indian staff these places usually have?

What’s the deal with the pixels and the X-ing for ASK?
Oh, mea culpa. I was in town this week as the $1 million cactus was being installed, but once again I was without a camera. It’s probably too obvious a worst anyway. Although, part of me wonders: what if we left well enough alone. What if the Perth Train Station still had its monument in limestone to usher visiting dignitaries into the city’s vibrant heart? Would Perth have needed to fine something worse for CHOGM? I suspect yes, but maybe not. Maybe the answer is at the bottom of this bottle of Howling Wolf? Maybe.

Have spent many hours perusing the shelves of that terrific Melbourne bookshop – specializes in poetry, good fiction and philosophy sections, can’t even remember what it’s called right now. It’s in the immediate vicinity of some kool clothing shops, which may explain the cosplay material, not that that’s any excuse. And speaking of both shittily monikered Perth hair salons and philosophy, would someone please stop and get some shots of the surely Worst-worthy Philosophy of Hair and Beauty on Stirling Hwy, Cottesloe – I’m always running late for something when traversing that particular stretch.
