Weekend Worstoff 21

Just another reminder of the sinister hold pap merchant Andre Rieu has over the city. This is just a small section of the wall of DVD’s. If you’ve never heard his spine shredding version of Waltzing Matilda… Imagine a trio … Continue reading →

Posted on May 15, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Bingo was its name.

Posted on March 10, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Frank reminded me that that The Biggest Bingo Centre is set to close in a few weeks after 25 years. Do I remember correctly that it used to say World’s Biggest Bingo? Probably saddest is the smokers’ area in the … Continue reading →

Bra Burning

Posted on March 5, 2008 by AHC McDonald

This was a lesson to me. I meant to stop and take a picture of this ugly lingerie factory in Maylands, but decided I could do it later. The next day it burned down. Would have been really cool to … Continue reading →

“When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself changed into a monstrous Perth Convention Centre in his bed.” Franz Kafka- Metamorphosis. That’s my preferred translation anyway. OK, here it is, the all time most requested TWOP … Continue reading →

Posted on February 18, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Bunker on Gallipoli

Posted on February 9, 2008 by AHC McDonald
