Outrage Overseas Cambodge

A delightful evening tonk up the river from Kampot. We anchored to watch the sunset. There were young things on top (tony English and American accents: Ivy League types on NGO work?); silent and seething Frenchmen (reflecting on lost rubber plantations?); smoking Chinese. Then we saw SUPpers! Gaaaah. If someone had laid down yoga mats on the shore I would’ve got out the AK47. 

 We dined at Kep…aka Crabtown! Cambodia has a Crabtown! The seafront is vibrant. Beach chairs for hire, street food, toilets where you pay. Never happen at Cottesloe.  

 In fact Cambodge is on the ball when it comes to big things. This roundabout – as well as rivalling anything in Bunbury – features a durian and the other Kampot fruits (mangosteen, rambutan, pineapple). 
 Ciao for now! I’m off to watch a trash movie about heroic media workers: nice!

Submit Vile Vistas

It’s all very well for BSWAM to point out the pimples on the arse of the generally charming Hudson River Valley. And I understand that adding sliding aluminium windows to a 1680s tavern is “not ideal”, but where is real worsting at re: Western Australia? Where are the worst views to be had? Submit some, particularly spots that are the main focus and I’ll add them here. I’ll start with (natch) Kalamunda and it’s putative town centre, Barberry Square, where the new for lease signs on the shithouse new erection only cover the fading for lease signs in the buildings behind. And next door. And around the corner. Another that comes to mind is the Dunsborough town centre. I drove through Midland on Sunday and it is also pretty bad, but it is on a national highway, so it’s not quite as egregious I guess. If you don’t have pictures, send us the google maps link.

Amenia New York

In the now traditional fashion of treating the whole planet in terms of being environs -albeit distant of Perth, BSWAM presents Amenia NY. Once again I’m not entirely certain if BSWAM understands what worst is vis a vis here. Amenia seems like the kind of place we might say, “If only Kalamunda was like this.” And, “Well this is quite nice.” But in any case, BSWAM says…

Greetings!  Today we’ll be visiting the borderline quaint village of Amenia NY.  It’s where all the proles who can’t afford nearby Millbrook have been hiding. Amenia1

The local Italian eatery has helpfully painted the trunks of the trees int he parking lot white so if you over-imbibe you don’t hit them the very first thing. 

Ameni2

Among Amenia’s two cultural attractions is the local drive-in theater, to be seen in the background here.Ameni3

Amenia has a well-preserved main street lined with quaint gingerbread houses.  For this reason, the local gas station has tried to blend in. Amenia3

The houses themselves are quite charming and would be more so had they not been evidently smeared with condiments.Amenia4

“Do we have any mustard left?” “No.”Amenia5

This house has not been restored.

Amenia6

They are, however, redecorating. Amenia7

Why do they take the good ones?

Jon English, Now. Not. at The Astor. Mind you, I’m not sure the Wailers will have the full complement either. Perhaps John Waters can fill in. Or PETA Credlin, who looks like English’s twin.

Dirty work

“As good as the Royal Show!” That was the only thing missing from this excellent article in today’s paper of record. And it’s good to know there are “glimmers of light” in the construction industry. Mr Kerry Stokes’ Seven Group Holdings is the big kahuna of Teh West and teh Westrac – as any fule kno – so there was surely no need to declare the ownership here. “Larger projects to smaller ones”: small is beautiful again. Keep digging!

Register or Perish

A mighty lawn registry. By Slanderer. Leederville. As usual the quality of the registration is the inverse square of the reality of the lawn. None shall pass. True story.

Outrage Sunday 239 excellent article

Keep moving. You don’t want to be like the Abandoned Sauce Sachet of life.      

 


No sauce needed on breakfast: a superb cured rodentia with pis-glazed wild mushroom in a formic jus. Mmmmmm so special.  

 
Excellent: as excellent as the local jerbalism.  

    
 Getting the painters in? Remember, spelling isn’t their thing. I think only Bento does it himself.

Sharia Law Buns

It’s that time of year again. Coles might want to call them Hot Interfaith Buns, or Woolies Hot Crescent Buns, but in any case if this is Sharia Law, I’m for it. Somehow they taste better with the crescent instead of the cross. Can’t explain it. Shouldn’t Waleed be contacting me for an interview?

Good Riddance Cammo

Good riddance Cammo, you who
Could give the impression of being a monstrous arsehole

Even when crying

On air 

Good riddance Cammo.

Good riddance Cammo, the managers were right. That you didn’t have what it takes, 

and

To stop playing campy old Dusty Springfield

Good riddance Cammo.

Good riddance Cammo, your shithouse pieces with Ross Solky were execrable. 

But you kept 

on 

doing them. And made even John McGlue

Look human

Good riddance Cammo.

Good riddance Cammo. You’re still calling your wife 

the fucking War Office

Which wasn’t funny 30 years ago

Good riddance Cammo

Good riddance Cammo, even though we both know you’ll be back

By unpopular demand, your turd shedding more glitter every year

Even though everyone would prefer Russel Woolf

Good riddance Cammo
