Everything you need to know about Dullsville sorry l mean Perth.

Still more entertaining than Melbourne though. Unless you like AFL that city is the most boring 4 million plus city in the world.

the only thing more boring than Perth are the people who constantly feel the need to berate it. FFS grow up.

Agreed

Oh its boring, there is no culture, no rolling green fields, poor choice in supermarkets, I hate people walking around in bare feet, there is nowhere to drive, I hate the ocean etc etc... I have never ever been so bored as I have since I have mored here, aren't you bored Northernbird?

I mean I get to go camping, go down South for a weekend of country walking - the fields are not really green and nor do they roll, it must be my imagination. I get bored shitless by being 4.5km from the ocean and taking my dog there for his run, and as for those shitty beach cafes where we have our brekkie, my god give me the local cafe in Holborn any day.

As for bike riding, there is nothing worse than cycling round the lakes or on the coastal path and taking in scenery - the scenery is shit. It doesnt make up for the lack of English pubs and Next, Tescos, Marks & Spencers and the choice of ready meals you can pop in a microwave.

Boring or what!

I can't wait to be bored there!

To be honest different places suit different people but that doesnt make them boring.

When do you get to Perth?

We leave Singapore on 13th December, go back to the UK for Xmas, arrive Perth 30th December, move into our house 5th Jan (which is also my son's 4th birthday).

We first visited Perth about 11 years ago, said "We'd like to live here one day." Many years later it's about to happen.

Now I just need to get through the next few months of chaos and upheaval..........

Excellent, you are going to have a very busy end to this year and a nice new beginning to 2011

We have a year and a half till we go for our citizenship

I used to get lovely smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels in a cafe just off Red Lion Sq in Holborn. Worked there for 8 years! God I miss them

Just because your life is boring dont assume everyone else's is. I have been in perth 2 years and never been bored

I used to go out to Sainsburys in Holborn to buy my lunch or sometimes to the pub but I dont miss it at all.

I prefer the yummy pancakes in Gino's cafe in Freo

I love boring.

Unfortunately I'm fed up with it. Perth really is a backwater. I've sold my restaurant and will sell my house and shut down my Oil Consulting business and head back to Scotland early 2011.
I came here in 1998 and thought the place was great, but over the years I really think it has become stale. The lack of public transport and taxi's mean nightlife and going into the city is restricted. Police over authority in driving and normal day to day activities is astounding. Acceptable driving standards frightens me. I won't go on to a rant so will stop here. Good luck to anyone who moves here.

Personally if I had the money I would move somewhere way out in the sticks in WA.

Loved this quote....sooo true!

If a Perth driver is leaving Fremantle via Leach Highway and is going to turn right somewhere in, say, Riverton, 25km away, they will (a) move _immediately_ into the right hand lane; (b) drive at 40km/hr so that they don't miss the turn; and (c) indicate at least 5km before they reach their intersection. Also, a typical Perth driver will _always_ stop before turning a corner, regardless of whether they are turning left or right, and whether there is any reason to do so.
