Grotty Grotto

Posted on September 17, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Barcelona on Bayswater

Posted on September 16, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Architecture used to be the staple of The Worst of Perth, but personalities (if you can call Howard Sattler a personality) and politics seem to have been dominant recently. So let’s get back to our roots. Don’t let anyone tell … Continue reading →

Instead of international worsts, I thought I’d use this worstoff to try and clear just a few of the giant backlog of submissions. A couple of people have been after this lovely sticker. Fuck off we’re full. Finally captured by … Continue reading →
