The Worst of Perth

Z-Frappe was entranced at this, at the intersection of Scarborough Beach Road and Loftus Street in North Perth. And there is much with which to be entranced. Perhaps the ‘Our Nikki” PhotoShopper is responsible? I note they use the word “whilst” in their website copy.This bloke on the 0550 out of Midland needed three seats, but graciously retreated to two as the train filled up. The breakfast of champions! I’m calling this couchette 2 (carbonated). He was gently snoring by the time we arrived at Teh Pert, and no-one roused him from his slumber.I wondered: if bore water is being splashed around these Claremont grounds, why aren’t they brown? Puzzling.Speaking of bores, did you see Mr Murray in the paper of record yesterday? More cutting and pasting. “Big numbers of Muslims”! How big? Mr Murray didn’t say. Those clowns at the ABS claim: “At 30 June 2011, 27% of the estimated resident population was born overseas (6.0 million people).” And: “Persons born in the United Kingdom continued to be the largest group of overseas-born residents, accounting for 5.3% of Australia’s total population at 30 June 2011. This was followed by persons born in New Zealand (2.5%), China (1.8%), India (1.5%) and Vietnam and Italy (0.9% each).” We’re being overwhelmed by Muslims! Danger!We can thank our lucky stars Mr Murray is vigilant while the likes of yours truly frets over fripperies such as : when is he next appearing on TBOUQM? Nothing lately, but I did enjoy this from Centralia, WA. I hope Snuff-san has been there and can illuminate us about the “brutal bottom line”.
