Albany Dabba Doo

Strangely charming. Better than the Stormie Mills around the corner.

The Cheese remelted after 3 days.

Posted on October 11, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Chris D was outraged by this sight at a Belmont swap meet. Would Jesus Lazarus the cheese in an abandoned toastie? In Belmont? Cheese never comes back.

When Williams Ruled the World

Posted on October 10, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Was there ever a higher point for Williams? When a tree – in the year of the tree – was an honored citizen. Perhaps it was voted emperor? We may never know.

Outrage Sunday 264 In Memoriam The Taj

Posted on October 9, 2016 by rottobloggo

So.
Farewell then
The Taj-on-Swan.
Me, Reign of Error, Pete F.,
And a dozen reporters
Searched for gold, silver, coconuts,
But found C&B.
Soon you will be
Roadbase in Treeby.
People got sick of the aggra
And the setbacks.
I wept, but was it
Building dust in my eye?
No more Taj stories?
Don’t bet on it.

E.J. Thribb-Cohen (17 1/2 domes)

The Facelift and the Shitfaced

Posted on October 7, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Odd how Perth’s glorious post vibrantic future is looking so, well shithouse. Imagine Sam Newman only doing one show! Surely he could jag a two show residency at The Charles?  And queues for Barnsey to sign his book?  I picked the right week to go to Albany.

The Kunsts Don’t Kern

Posted on October 6, 2016 by AHC McDonald

E.M. saw evidence that Germany kerns – or for that matter hits the space bar for no man. Unlike those crazy Italian word spacers. Awesome Festival. Cultural aka “whoopie doo” Centre.

Day trip to Rotto

Posted on October 5, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Ljuke assures me this is as shithouse as you might hope. And this is the A side. What’s the B? Two weeks in Rockingham?

Tasmanian Bathos

Posted on October 4, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Alex and Jenny share the sad – and deeply disturbing image of a Perth pre vibrancy object in a Tasmanian op shop. Sic semper glorio bundy.

Thalidomide Wrap

Posted on October 3, 2016 by AHC McDonald

The appallingly awful insult to John Curtin statue has finally been transformed, possibly by Christo himself into something a little more interesting. One of Perth’s most inept bronzes, kind of looks OK wrapped. Thanks to SW for the pic. It was suggested that the statue has short arms because it was supposed to be viewed from a different angle. But if it was proportioned correctly, surely it would look right from every angle? It’s a piece of shit. Please keep it wrapped Fremantle.

Outrage Sunday 263 free car door

Posted on October 2, 2016 by rottobloggo

Even high-rise apartments aren’t safe from the uniquely-WA phenomenon of cars driving into bedrooms. Here, a Cambridge Street denizen, having obtained all the spare parts he can, leaves one of the doors out in the verge pick-up. This is where Fraka lives. How is that ECU study going? img_4599img_4600
That console-gripping Bento sent this WAToady outrage. “How can they get the possessive apostrophe right, yet not be able to spell simple words?” he asked. image001
The WAToady error file, the list of people that just missed being squashed by runaway Commodores, my despair at not being able to find Oettinger in the bottle-o, the anticipation over the start of the Taj demolition tomorrow: they’re all SO HUGE! img_4575
