The severed claw

Posted on October 28, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Yes, there is a severed kangaroo paw tied to the rear windscreen wiper of this car. I assume it waves when the wipers are on. Not much more to say except welcome UK readers to the world of Australian Rurotards. And the red dust. Nice touch. An excellent worst by JustDazzling.

Onwards vibrancy you little minx!

Posted on October 27, 2010 by AHC McDonald

What a sinkhole of crap Subiaco has become. Who is responsible for killing Subi town? I do however like this plaintive chant of “vibrancy” lost here among the weeds, chain link and barbed wire. Perth planning is relying on the hope that by chanting “Vibrancy, vibrancy, ever onwards La Vibrancy!” it might actually come true. By Rob F. And a welcome return by The Cookster who shows us that Scarborough just gets on and lives teh vibrant. It doesn’t bother with “The Art & Soul” (puke,) it just concentrates on the arse & the hole. And before you ask, yes, this vehicle has been reported.

Guildford Skins

Posted on October 26, 2010 by AHC McDonald

There’s an old theatre in Guildford converted into a horrorshow taxidermy  venue. I can’t think why. I thought only New Zealanders got into this sort of crap? It’s sort of got a touch of stupid, combined with a dash of revolting.

Pedal Power vs Paint Power

Posted on October 25, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Wait, who sent me this? Orbea? By Tristan H. The council painted this over quickly, but not fast enough. Saved for ever. Bayswater. I think it’s a quote from West Side Story.

Alexander The Great’s Mansion

Posted on October 25, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Pictures are not really enough to show this extraordinary mega mansion on Gaden Rd Wundowie. Gigantic. Jaw droppingly huge, jaw droppingly bad, complete with massive statue of Alexander The Great, a ferris wheel, football pitch, glass pyramid, water slides, kilometres of columns and statues and even a church. Despite the enormous amount of money that must have been spent, it still looks delightfully half arsed, and the arid bushland setting makes me want to label it magnificent, even though it is one of the most hideous homes you are ever likely to see. Love it. I would give a lot to see the inside. These Macedonians really put Italian bad taste to the sword. Not far from this place, which in real life looks like it’s made of cardboard.

Weekend Worstoff 130

Posted on October 23, 2010 by AHC McDonald

Bonnie took a last tearful pilgrimage to the rubble of Maylands Great Wall. They should have sold off the chunks. She also includes a bonus pic from her Grandparents’ holiday home. Ljuke snapped this at the recent architecture talk. A study in Outrage – by Billie Fairclough. That background is trending worst too.And a baffling slogan via Hokusan in Melbourne. “Tomorrow’s emissions today.”

And Golden1 wonders whether anyone ever buys meat at a sale. Balaclava Melbourne. Reminds me of the long vanished Budget Burgers from about 3 years ago.
