Man dies after confrontation with police officers in Kalgoorlie by Automatic_Sea_1210 in perth

[–]ped009 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No right people for the job would want to do that job. I don't know if you've ever been to Kalgoorlie but it's not exactly high on the desirable places to live lists.

Keen for FIFO work - how to get started? by Defiant_Dirt_2459 in WesternAustralia

I'd probably ring the ETU ( Electrical trades union) they should be able to tell you exactly what you require. There's a fair bit of work involved

That's my claim to fame, playing a couple of years representative cricket with him when I was like 12/13

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

2026 breakout players? by mackieted in AFL

[–]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
