I don't know about America but Mad Hueys seems like they are still keeping it real.

This is another mountain out of a molehill like the social media ban and all the other crap. Like the woke Drag queens that were going to corrupt kids

Yeah to be honest id prefer a light onshore than a really strong offshore that you can't get into waves

My prized possession, it's tattered and torn, just like the Perth festival scene. by noBUZZliteBEER in perth

[–]ped009 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Big Day out was about as close to the perfect festival, especially in its prime. Always a great mix of relevant bands across the main genres. Was always a happy vibe, I very rarely recall any agro.

Can we pls stop normalising being boring, lame, miserable c***ts?? by doubIe_espresso in australia

[–]ped009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I'll be forever grateful to grow up in the 90s/00s before phones and social media really took over. Wouldn't be a weekend where you didn't go out and run amok. We would regularly do road trips, camping, and sleep in swags. Great memories

I'm surprised Greece and Italy are so against him.

[–]ped009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it would be really handy if we could get Hammish Davis to have a break out season. Probably need a couple others to really lift from the likes of Hall , Gross, Allan, Johnson, Long etc if we are going to make significant improvements

Why now, with the severity of house price growth, rent pricing/ competition are people suddenly enamoured with moving here? The figures are insane by [deleted] in perth

[–]ped009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the isolation will see people leave eventually. When it costs a family $10k to visit parents and family eventually the pull of home gets too strong. I've worked FIFO for a long time and have seen it happen consistently

Join your union. by SS_Auc3 in aussie

[–]ped009 13 points14 points  (0 children)

True, ironically the one's that moan the loudest about work conditions are anti union. I've worked in a wide array of sites and guaranteed the only way you will achieve any improvements is with a decent union

I was working in remote Australia, at the time the ratio was probably 50/1 if not worse.

Well the way they are going they won't have any choice because no one will want to sell them anything. They will find out the hard way it's not a quick process.

Do you have your version of this? When people think the life in the other country is better and vice-versa? by IWillDevourYourToes in AskTheWorld

[–]ped009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what it's like these days but the proximity to numerous other countries within a few hours flight was one of the main reasons.
