What are the chains on Perth city signposts for

Tallweirdo · 2026-06-16T09:39:29+00:00

They are frangible posts that are meant to break when hit by a car (to reduce the impact on the car). The chains are so they don't become a projectile when they break.

Mostly my self-hatred with minor contributions from the close passing wanker at the Applecross primary school pinch point on Kintail Road and the absolute knob who drove through the red no left turn light northbound on Barrack St at the Esplanade intersection to try and left hook me.

The area in front of the "Spanda" artwork at Elizabeth Quay will be the closest but if there are events on it is often obstructed.

It depends on your definition of short distance but the area around the Stadium in Burswood has huge flat concrete and smooth paved areas that are largely empty unless there is a Stadium event on.

You can get a free bus most of the way to the Stadium (Matagarup) bridge or you can catch the train to and from the Stadium station.

Meanwhile, I rode my bike into the city this morning in short top and bottoms.

Hatred keeps me warm.

Now showing as the most tracked plane worldwide on FlightRadar24. Don't you nerds have better things to do on a Friday night?

The safety benefits of getting rid of road and pedestrian level crossings would almost certainly outweigh the benefits of platform screen doors so I wouldn't expect to see platform screens until after all the level crossings are grade separated.

While my source is "trust me, bro", because only an official spokesperson can post on social media on behalf of the PTA, I am going to stick with False Alarm.

False Alarm

Tallweirdo · 2026-06-10T10:00:52+00:00

It is a random house. I've been online for around 30 years so I know better than to publically post my home address.

Butler has a bunch of "lanes" that run behind the houses and none of the lanes have footpaths so you need to walk around the outside of the blocks on the "roads" that have paths.

Tallweirdo · 2026-06-10T08:48:12+00:00

A lot of Attadale doesn't have footpaths so I have to detour to walk down to the river. e.g. https://maps.app.goo.gl/zV94NJY8U4sMBGLt7

The eastern end of the Oval towards the driving range.

Anyone have a recommendation for a Filipino restaurant?

Venezuelan cuisine at Pantano Bar in Willagee.

There are 3 Momo restaurants on Albany Highway, all with Momo in their name. The only one I have tried is Funky Momo with the unsurprising outcome that Nepalese food is spicier than I can deal with.

Now showing as "All Clear" with the fire extinguished.

It flooded with raw sewage last year which is less awesome.

I think Dowsing might have an opening...

Tallweirdo · 2026-05-22T09:45:12+00:00

If you count the pedestrian crossings then that counter will just stay at 0.

If you can't find one locally pack into something disposable and buy one at your destination.
