Is there any suburb in the whole of Perth that you like? Do you have a criteria for friendships as well as in they have to tick the right boxes in order to fit in with you?

I would suggest you remove your crown Princess and take a step down from your high horse, because that is one hell of a self imposed height to fall from.
I do infact like freo subiaco leederville , mt hawthorn and mt lawley ..........is that ok for you ?

I have a few friends here one infact owns mosmans... the withes couldren and two clothes shops in claremont and mt lawley . the other lives in butler from manchester another in padbury , and one in bayswater originally from bournemouth .......Bournemouth is stereotypical of an old peoples place , however quite the opposite , alot of people come down from london of a weekend not to join the knitting circle but to go clubbing !!! ...you got a bad attitude , to critisise me , professional princess perhaps the narsesism is what is spoken due to the fact you attack a specific member on here and your name fits perfectly ........

I love Freo but am just happy to visit it, Port Kennedy is merely a suburb like many others, no more bland than many out there - plenty of people are happy here and find plenty to do, you obviously enjoy the pub /cafe culture which really isn`t very important to me - ok now and again but can happily take it or leave it. I really hope you manage to move soon - you seem very unhappy with your Oz experience so far and life is too short to be miserable - personally I`d be breaking the rental lease asap or finding someone to take over the lease if I was that unhappy.

I know the prospect for trades jobs here in SA, my hubby is a sparky and I work in the construction industry. I know how busy the Subbies that we use are, plenty of work around if you look for it and want it...(I have worked with some that don't )

I've never been to Perth so can't say what it's like. We didn't even check Perth out as I had family here so thought it was a good a place as any to live. I never regretted it either

I agree. You never know what tomorrow will bring, so live for today and be happy. Hope you manage to find your happy place either there or somewhere else

I worked the doors for 8 years , trust me its great if you go to places like aruba on the beach great chilled out bar over looking the beach , 1812 sophisticated bar , bar so great club , also klute , all these places are the other side of bournemouth I take it you never went that side !! ...........the only two places worth going in OLD christchurch Road are DNA an rnb club , and after that to the camel bar , great food dancing downstairs and sheesha pipes great eastern feel ..................go there did you ? didnt think so ...........
poole is a dive for pubs has the hog pub , proper pikie pubs along the quay by the harbour , I worked them all including oyster quay where the pikeys like having brawls throwing chairs around,
I even worked in the triangle in the gay pubs too hillarious , I even sued one ....made world news infact ...........so perth dull or bournemouth mmm I would say rockingham is dull has nothing going for it , fremantle has a great vibe but tiny , I like bournemouth and freo ...................the rest is shit ...........
Used to live near Dean Park. Christchurch road was awful - unless you were on a stag do where it might tick the boxes. There isn't a single decent pub in Bournemouth town centre. I tried them all.

Never mind what suburbs are boring etc. I'm still trying to work out what a 'tounge' is?

Oh and you were amazing to have checked out the WHOLE of the Gold Coast on your holiday, to have come to the conclusion it's ALL tacky like Benidorm

Bruce & Sheila have you seen the stickers that people around here have on their cars? A map of WA with 'If you don't like it then leave' printed across it

Well in our 'rough British' area the car stickers read as I've said.

Sorry but you sound like one of the Brits that come over here & give the rest of us a bad name for being a whinging pomme. I can't believe you even slate the aussies here, it's their country for heavens sake! As for telling another child to 'f' off....nice...not! Yes I can understand you being annoyed but lead by example, you're an adult after all & please don't give the rest of us a bad name because of your attitude & opinions.

Oh & do you actually know any bikers personally? I'm a biker as is hubby as our many of our friends, even some aussie ones, all normal people.

Why on earth would you want Citizenship? I'm struggling to work out what you actually like here
