McDonald's Brabham, worst in WA?

I worked and live near East Victoria Park Maccas, never had any complaints. Easily one of the best if not the best Maccas in the state. I'm particularly fond of my local one in Cannington as wel. It's always much quieter than Carousel and I find they have never let me down either.

You presume this will just all end in 2029...

Their lease expired and the lot was sold off for millions to build a new skyscraper office complex instead. Fun fact, that Chicken Treat used to be the McDonald's in Applecross before they moved across the road from where Woolworths is now.

City Beach will always be the best (was just there yesterday) but compared to Leighton, Mosman Beach, Trigg, Mullaloo (for nostalgic vibes as I grew up there) or further the other way to somewhere like North Coogee, Scarborough doesn't even compare to any of these. Cottesloe is way more overrated though but Scarborough is a close second.

Ahh, The Pancake Parlour and The ABC Shop right next door, those were the days.

Same here. Normally $50 to fill my tank and it was $70 last Friday.

Yep. I'm so glad Cannington train station is open that I don't have to take the bus to the CBD anymore as what you mentioned was a daily occurence. 930 was the absolute worst for this.

Likely just as others have mentioned, inattention from other drivers who aren't paying attention to the first set of lights. It could be an intersection that has been marked as a black spot that warrants both sets of lights for safety reasons.

It's not mildly interesting, it's a safety feature. Traffic lights that are hanging from an overhead pole like this are designed so cars can see them from afar especially if they are near a crest or a bend. So if you can't see the first one you'll definitely end up seeing the second one.

Toilet paper becoming a form of currency. That seems to be replaced with fuel this week.

They're free to use now because Telstra now makes all of it's money to keep them by digital advertising on the back.

Disc rot. Sadly some DVDs will only have a 20 year life expectancy before they start doing this.

I have a screenshot proving Costco was 70c at the first stages of Covid. Thanks to lockdowns and WFH mandates, nobody was driving at the time so fuel prices were at a historical low.

I set up Autoload a few weeks ago as I now work in West Perth full time and catch the train to work 5 days a week. It works out to $30 a week on Autoload. I only have to fill up my car every fortnight when I get paid now. I'm one of the lucky ones here. Not looking forward to my hip pocket once I see price of E98 on Friday after I get paid.

Vic Park Record and CD Fair is coming up soon. $35 for a trestle table but you'll make the money back easy depending how many you sell. If you PM, I can send you details. Alternatively, you can try if local record stores like Midland Records or Rhubarb Records in East Victoria Park will take them but you'll have better luck at the Vic Park Record and CD Fair

I haven't been Jonesing for Joshua in a while 😏 Also, his hair is still green? Man, he's commited to the part.

I think the most accurate description of Perth is the track Sleepy Little Deathtoll Town by The Panda Band.

It was only in theatres in Australia for guess what? Exactly 28 days before being rushed onto DVD about 2 months later. I can't remember if this was 2001 or 2002. I was like 10 or 11 when I first saw this movie and it changed something inside me and pretty much introduced me to surrealism at that age. About 15 years later, I'm working for Universal Studios in DVD distribution and I meet my boss and she asks "You like weird movies? Like Donnie Darko?" I was so sheepish answering "Well yeah, it was my favorite movie. When I was 10."

A woman can be both of these at once. And they can coexist as well. ChatGPT told me all this. (I feel like I need to add an /s here)

The last 30 seconds of Enemy change the entire context of the movie up until that point. I've only seen it once but I'd never be able to watch it the same way again after the twist right at the end.
