abuse victims

Posted on July 7, 2015 by rottobloggo

That whale-gritting balcony-dweller Bento popped his head over the 2.8m parapet wall again after seeing this on Teh WAToady. “They want more abuse?” more abuse

Ground Zero

Posted on July 6, 2015 by AHC McDonald

How many years has this Guildford Hotel crap been going on? I would have been happy with demolition by now. What do we think of the new proposal? I admit that at first I was of the opinion that the apartments ( that will fund the hotel renos) should be lower than the height of the hotel. But as a famous Guildford resident said, “It’s just fucken Guildford, who cares?” And you have to credit that point of view. The  so called heritage streetscape is not really that interesting apart from a very few shopfronts. James Street used to be named Mangle Street after Governor Pedo’s Stirling’s wife’s family. Wouldn’t we be assenting to Pedo Stirling’s proclivities? I’m ambivalent about it. Yes, the apartments are probably shithouse. But then again, not a soul ever went into the Guildford Hotel pre burning. Everyone hated it.  It was a craphole. I can’t help feeling that the influx of wankers would improve Guildford. There might even be a customer for the hotel. What do youse think? Asks Carbuncle.

Outrage Sunday 204 the commercialisation of spruut

Posted on July 5, 2015 by rottobloggo

I think this was the first time spruuut reared its head on TWOP. A timely reminder after Bento shares his retail fetish. Sprutt a product? Why not, when Nirvana is lift music and there’s a small bar called Judgement at Nuremberg. spruut1spruut2
People only like art if they can go shopping afterwards. eBay, Gumtree are the place to view masterpieces in the Po-Vi age. IMG_1037IMG_1043
It’s enough to drive you to drink. Even cider in the street.IMG_0282

Trio probed 

Posted on July 3, 2015 by rottobloggo

How can you probe nipples? Trust the Chook to keep abreast of matters. This is all good: David ‘Ding-Dong’ Bell, crime, pasties. Better than Violent crime duo caught on video.

Seamen

Posted on July 3, 2015 by AHC McDonald

Well I guess the kerning is ok. By Reign of Error. Fremantle. Should have got a tagger in to do the sign. I would have gone “Club Seaman”.

Wonky Eye

Posted on July 2, 2015 by AHC McDonald

This split level eyed woman on the Beaufort Arrondissement has annoyed me for years. Always want to get out and lower the top one. Maybe why I never quite join the Beaufort Street Network.

Steve’s

Posted on June 29, 2015 by AHC McDonald

Pete F reminds us that there is still a Steve’s Tavern in Nedlands. The only question is why is there still a Steve’s? I remember in the 80s when you could spill out of Steve’s, piss in a pensioner’s letterbox, while calling the neighbours cunts at top volume and then have a quiet crap in their driveway. Now you can do the same outside small bars from Maylands to Kardinya, and it seems the only place now without that kind of rollicking vibrancy is Steve’s and Nedlands. Bring back the street urination Steve’s or get off the pot.
