Palms

Posted on June 21, 2013 by AHC McDonald

Unbelievable. They have palms in the Middle East now! What next? Broken barbecues parked on registered lawns? Commodores Lexuses ploughing through bedroom walls? Qatar.

Burswood glamour

Posted on June 21, 2013 by Bento

It was established some time ago that some forms of expression are what my Communication and Culture 102 lecturer referred to as ‘historically and culturally specific’.

Let’s add extreme sitting to that list, shall we? First, we have New York style:

NewYorklunch

Hackneyed, trite, and just so predictable. Vastly superior in almost every way, however, is Perth style:

redrum-01

Are you paying attention, Bartender’s Skills With a Manhatten? This is glamour, done right. Relentless blue sky, Cocos (or Date, or Cotton, or Majestic – I don’t fucking know), pre-1997 telco monopole with maximum impact headframe, boozies, aircon box on top of brick cube, and a registered lawn. Skink did but see her passing by, and yet … he went back and braved the Burswood badlands to bring us this masterpiece.

Modern boobs

Posted on June 20, 2013 by Bento

Notable Perth Modernians include 1 Prime Minister, 6 Cabinet Ministers, 9 judges, 2 Major Generals, 1 Rear Admiral (heh), 8 Diplomats, 15 Rhodes Scholars, 7 leg men, and at least 1 boob man.  Or boob lady.  Ladies can be boob men too, these days.

Ashes to ashes

Posted on June 20, 2013 by Bento

Isn’t it always the way?  You wait 6 years for a flaming bumhole, and then two come along at once.

Now, I’m sure the good people at Just Cremations have done their research.  But  … I don’t know, maybe it’s just me.  No.  Really, it can’t be.  I just can’t picture myself, inconsolable because Nanna has finally passed to the other side, thinking: “I’ll call those jokers with the fucken hilarious billboard in Welshpool, with that bloke’s arse on fire.”  Or is it just me?

Bonus grasstree, for the spotters.  By Misspent Yoof.

Outrage Overseas Brighton filth

Posted on June 19, 2013 by rottobloggo

Mayor Jason Kitcat has a lot on his plate – and in his streets. Revolting bin men (and women) mean rubbish is lapping at the shores of the sea. The stench is delightful! The seagulls here are as big as chicens.

Smells like teen spirit

Posted on June 19, 2013 by Bento

Regime change is commonly followed by a good dose of nepotism – 8 out of 10 former Local Government CEOs agree.  And I am a traditionalist, if also a metrocentric twat (TM).  So, let’s open the account with a marvellous submission from the lovely Mrs Bento.

I’m in that age bracket that is both too old and too young to have any experience of One Direction’s ouvre.  But they look like nice lads, and I’d expect they’ve grown out of the malodorous teenage boy phase, no?  Surely even Taylor Swift would put ‘smells of poo’ on her list of dealbreakers?

They said the sex offender register would have unintended consequences.  I never would have thought it would be inspirational, though.

Blackfriars Road. They have some nice glasshouses, though: the Express building on Fleet Street.
