Climate Change

Posted on August 16, 2014 by AHC McDonald

Snuff is still on tour, but Orbea reminds us that although it’s still Winter, it’s no secret that hot flushes are on their way. Subiaco. Although secrets of senility would probably be the go for this Subiaco location.

Edge of reality

Posted on August 15, 2014 by AHC McDonald

TONSKI sends in the al fresco area of a Henderson lunch bar as a worst. But I love it. I would totally eat a (possibly still slightly frozen in the centre) Chiko Roll here.

Kalamunda bites back

Posted on August 14, 2014 by rottobloggo

Kala heavyweights have responded with cliches from both barrels to TLA’s savage attack 12 days ago. The Midland-Kalamunda Reporter’s Joel Kelly (whom my sources say lives in Parkerville) coaxed quotes from council CEO Rhonda Hardy about the TWOP outrage. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…whilst…eclectic range of architecture…some of the buildings being less inspiring…whilst…has its own charm…investor confidence…range of local and independent shopping, artisan and farmers markets”. Mr Kelly revealed a bundle will be spent on underground power from next month (take that, former Gooseberry Hill-dwelling Flangemaster!), and Ms Hardy said there had been recent approvals for the old Toyota site, Barber Street, and Kalamunda Road (put THAT in yer beret and yarnbomb it, Mr McDonald! Good DAY, sir). I for one look forward to Mr Kelly’s spread on the tears at the Haynes Street Larder. kalaexpose

Sighn

Posted on August 14, 2014 by AHC McDonald

Which is sadder. The paint job, or the hoodie clad type doing it? Remember it’s taken a year to go from concrete grey, to vomity orange yellow, back to grey again and now to this.

The Sands of Jindalee

Posted on August 12, 2014 by AHC McDonald

Bento found another bong graveyard in another possibly fictitious suburb Jindalee. Is it real? It’s no Darch.

Peace be…

Orbea sent this in thinking it may be a tableau of graffiti from the Kimberly. I guess that depends on whether you think it’s Allan or Allah.

There’s a bit of it about: how about this HBF ad in yesterday’s Worst for jumping on the caboose? hbfOutrage HQ’s rates notice from Swan council is in. Are there really friands and espresso at Tiffany HQ on Fifth Avenue? Krazy Kym thinks not. tiffanybreakfastIt’s enough to drive you to drink an SSB of an undetermined vintage. hydepissCheers! privateeye

A year of living streetlessly

Posted on August 9, 2014 by AHC McDonald

Snuff’s still buying tapirs in Hong Kong. Surely that’s enough? If not, I think we are the one year anniversary of Perth’s lamest and long running public art project. It’s still like this.
