Guest Post, Hudson River Valley

From Bartender of Manhattan I mean Bartender’s Skills with a Manhatten comes a wonderful selection of pictures. Perhaps depressingly, many of the pictures he may be providing as worsts, particularly of the Bryant Park area look wonderful and we would be glad to have them in Perth, but first here’s some genuine worsting from The Hudson River Valley. I hope that’s a genuine US freedom style bullethole Bartender. Bartender says,

“To give your readers a bit more info, the Hudson River Valley is unique in being an area colonized by Dutch, German and French Huguenot settlers prior to English settlement, and is also the location of significant Free Black and later Swedish and New England Yankee towns and sites.  This has resulted in a delightfully polyglot history with a fair bit of tolerance for anything (provided it resulted in good living) and has also insured that classic Anglo-American-style “good taste,” they had it not, for 400 years.  Not complaining: Gomez and Morticia Addams were always more fun than John and Abigail.

Ratings

More than one reader has written in about the Paul Cut n Paste Nurry, Simon Kahunas Beaumont situation at 6PR. There has been a deep throat style command to “Follow the ratings”. I believe that the suggestion is that 6PRs claim that it’s all about the ratings doesn’t hold water if you compare the ratings Nurry had at the station last time he had the chance to showcase that fabulous voice of a flu infected housewife, and that Kahunas ratings shit all over Nurry even at his peak. So throats, are you saying that Kahunas Beaumont was too nice for PR? The only thing these sources didn’t give was the reason we should give a shit about these two tools.

Spruut Melbourne

Since I haven’t been able to find graffiti cock one in Melbourne, you’ll have to make do with this bronze version near the Arts Centre, and Ill throw in a horse’s willy from the Mark Webber/Lindy Chamberlain Apartments featured before. The apartments in real life are much more appalling than this horse cock can possibly show. And the emanation? Either bird or teenager. And as Derek and Clive said, didn’t reach the belly button.

Bed the Wench

I don’t know what it is about beds, but some of the most bits of furniture have been beds. I saw some nice pieces at Empire on Beaufort when I was there on Arrondissement Day, but this wasn’t one of them. Why?

Put out the light, then put out the light

Former display home on Benara Rd. An exquisitely classic Perth Worst by Orbea. I prefer it now to what it would have looked like when new. I love it. If I owned it, this is exactly how I’d want it.
