Simon G. saw these WA 150th paving slabs, removed presumably during the city development upheaval, sitting behind wire mesh at the City’s Osborne Park depot. She -Ra says that they wil definitely be reused, although I’m not sure if she meant these, or the ones with the historical B Listers inlaid into them in bronze. In any case, I would kill for one of either kind. Of the bronze I would ike “Some Dude – Wheat Farmer”. BTW I am assuming Lisa She-Ra Scaffidi Princess of Power will soon be Lord Mayor of the universe – if The LM of Lagos doesn’t snatch it. I hope you’ve voted. Remember, you could have got Max Kaye.

“The publican of 18 years said on Wednesday that Emu in particular had plunged in popularity in recent years but there was a hard core crowd of Swan Draught drinkers who would taste the difference in the water from other states.
“Water dissolves minerals in different regions around the world and makes it taste different,” he told AAP.
“It’s all to do with the water quality.”
They can taste. NF#1 gave me a bottle of Swan as a joke. Hadn’t had it for years. I thought, “It can’t be so bad I can’t drink it.” It was. I had to pour it down the sink.

New videos released to teach Perth drivers how to merge in traffic and how to use roundabouts:

As everyone in Tokyo knows, you stand on the left side and walk on the right, or vice versa in Osaka, and it works perfectly. So I was sure my leg was being pulled when I was recently informed by a friend that you’re now not supposed to. Fortunately there’s as much chance of that happening as anyone turning off their phones when using the Courtesy Seats on the trains.

What the heck? That’s nuts. I’m almost hoping they turn it into a nationalistic point of pride like Seoul did (to cover up shoddy escalators inacapable of taking an unbalanced load). The authoritarian signage would be hilarious.

Nobody is going to be anything other than vaguely bemused at a notion that so obviously flies in the face of common sense, snave.
p.s. Should anyone ever find themselves in the rare situation where somebody doesn’t observe this tradition, don’t pass up the opportunity to crack up a total stranger. Walk up the escalator until you’re directly behind the offender, turn to the person next to you, exchange a resigned expression and whisper … K Y. I guarantee they’ll appreciate the irony of a foreigner, whom by default are 空気読めない (kuki yomenai) observing said behaviour, given that it means not only oblivious, but also innapropriate.

I totally want to stake my claim on that bronze “placeholder in case the state ever gets a person of note” embedded at the foot of the stairs on platform 4 at Perth station. Of course, this is assuming the state gets a person of note and it is removed. And then the question must be raised: what happens if we get two persons of note? Do they have to duke it out for the coveted plaque?

Hi. I’m in Iran at the moment, and can’t see the picture above, as it’s banned by the Iranian government censors. However, if I were in Perth right now, I would be stealing those pavers (I remember them) like they’re going out of style.
In other Iranian news – TWOP is not censored by the Iranian government (just the photos), but, fortunately, every other Perth news website is 100% inaccessible. The websites of Perthnow, WAtoday, NEWs.com.au, ABC, and almost every Australian newspaper is banned in Iran. TWOP, is my sole news connection with Perth. Also, Facebook is banned, twitter is banned. My own website, is banned. Not that thats a bad thing, I’m sick of that thing. I only put it in the link so TLA would know who I was. Don’t click on it.
Anyway, I have a great Iran worst, I’ll send it when my Internet connection is better.

TLA – holy shit, it is Hillman Hunter AKA Paykan heaven. Taxi’s still use them (although there is plenty of new cars), but the trend is now for young Iranian hipsters to lower them, put on white-walls with low rider rims, but retain the classic look in every other way.
