There’s so much wrong with this, fake celebrities, (including the poor man’s Russell Woolf Michael Shultz), Belltower, wearing orange, abseiling into a boat. The highlight of the week, the highlight mind you is Wear Orange Wednesday. And organisers told me that placement of safety harnesses will prevent looking up Michael Shultz and Ebbeny Farranda’s respective dresses. Not cool. (Ebbeny? Really?) And no Mignon Henny? For shame.

The Worst of Perth 
Celebrities ? I was just looking for a present for an, ahem, friend. That’s one URL that’s not gonna look good in my browser history. Guess it’s not as bad as when I was looking for a pen for DFOC.

I wonder are you born in this state and do you consider yourself a West Australian?
If you are, then may I suggest that you reconsider your sad, small minded perspective of community and life in WA.
To unleash your ‘Lazy Aussie’ (aptly chosen name I would suggest) criticism at an organisation such as SES that supports community in such an important way is disgusting. If your objective is to find the worst of Perth each day then maybe you should find somewhere else to live and allow others who do take joy in living in this great state to do so.

Gina, An orange peril supporter – too fat, too slow, too lazy, too dim to be a real emergency responder, they join for the bacon sandwiches at the SES caravan, swagger around in orange overalls and shout at traffic, carparking at crucial communidy events – like nursing home bake sales.
You know things are beyond redemption when the SES are called in – you want crime scene evidence eradication? destined-to-remain-missing-persons search? poncing about on quad bikes and horsies? Give up all hope and call in the orange fuckers.
Thanks Gina you tit

Take it from someone who used to be in the SES, mounted division. If the bitching over the sandwiches and needless politics were done away with they might find the missing person they’re looking for and I might return. There’s a dark side to every community service love.
