Don't forget the sun!

There was a serial killer once as well.....saw it on telly last night.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Yes. Perth is probably the most boring "city" on the planet.

Not as wet and boring as Oldham.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

So if Perth had more serial Killers like Adelaide it would be less boring:p
They call Adelaide the worlds serial killer capital but its still boring place.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

I watched that too, nothing better to do in boring Perth :D

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Who's "they"? I can think of other cities in the world with far more serial killers than Adelaide.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Penticton springs to mind :D

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Yes, Perth is boring. I'm bored out of my mind. There is absolutely nothing to do here. The shops are closed on Sundays so I can't shop. There are no decent pubs so I can't go out drinking. Bananas cost $38.50 per kilo. Lettuce is $18.00 per head. My foreign TV set doesn't work here. I have to get a licensed electrician to change the light bulb that blew out in my front hall. I suggest we all drink the cyanide laced kool-aid now.

Are you serious Dorothy, you seemed a lot happier when we met last at kings park. I hope things improve for you if you are serious.

Nev:D

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Perth is the 4th most livable city in the world and Perth also has the reputation of being Australia’s friendliest city. We are the most isolated city in the world so give us a break :)

No decent pubs? Where have you been going?

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Name these so called 'decent' pubs ...

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Well these are my opinions and for the people who dont want to venture out of surburbia, that's you problem.

1. The Brisbane in Highgate - Voted best pub in Australia last year and so it should of.
2. The Queens in Mt. Lawley.
3. The flying Scotsman in My. Lawley.
4. The Subiaco Hotel.
5. The Vic in Subi.
6. Little Creatures in Freo.
7. The Cott in Cottesloe. - Hottest girls in Australia.
8. OBH in Cottesloe.
9. The Royal in East Perth.
10. The Windsor in South Perth.
11. The Raffles in Applecross.
12. The Lucky Shag in Perth.

Give them a go..

Restraunts and clubs now? haha

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

I've been to Penticton. And Kelowna. And Osoyoos.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

There are one or two in there that 'could' or 'would' be, and by the way I've frequented them all, if you were able to find a pint under 9 bucks ...

The Queens is my favourite pub as it goes, outside of my local Paddy's in Joondalup.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

I'd bite the bullet and pay 9 bucks for a pint, northern suburb pubs give me a headache. The mooner and the bailey.. errrghhhh pommy plasterers whinging and yobbos high fiving each other at the bar.

I'm all for the north though.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

You should try Paddy's ... 'pint of the month' which is usually decent (Guinness, Stella etc @ $7.50) ... and the clientele is marginally better than the Moon or the Bailey ... ;):D

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Sweet.. Also, the Flying Scotsman on sunday arvos has a $10 pizza and pint deal. Pretty relaxed atmosphere. People hungover just chillin.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

The Flying Scotsman used to be a cracking boozer, then it went all Karaoke ... still a decent spot with a mixed crowd :)

As for the Subi, Raffles and those in that ilk ... they are very much 'Terrace type' metrosexual haunts but still good from time to time.

If you want a quality restaurant (at a price) head to Balthazar ... awesome atmosphere, great wine list & the food's a touch too.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Latte ... two sugars ... chair with it's back to the sun ... ;)

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

There was a very nice pig farmer in Penticton who decided it might be a good idea to feed a load of prostitutes to his pigs.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Per head of population for a city as small as Adealdie l think its had more serial killings then anywhere else, also more people go missing in Adealide then anywhere else in OZ , large numbers of people there just vanish never to be seen again.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

You are forgetting the best feature of perth, when the zombie apocalypse starts we will be safe being so isolated....I have my cricket bat and shotgun ready just in case though

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

What if it starts in Perth though.....or would that be way too interesting? ;)

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Define boring ;)

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

and the flies...;)

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

We were there for part of our reccie and enjoyed every minute, found loads to do days and evenings, the city is so clean and well laid out (and I am so not a city person), people friendly and has a real nice feel to the place, only been to Oz once we then went south down to Bunbury area and liked WA but house prices have been the deciding factor is deciding to settle on the east coast.

This forum seems to enjoy knocking Perth, we loved it. :thumbsup:

Perth

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

And nice pork sausages they were too!!!

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Had help from the OH with some of these as he frequents pub/restaurants more than me. Entertaining clients, or so he tells me.:rofl:

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Oh no Nev, things are good. House build is coming along slowly but surely. Moose is a full grown slobbering blond mutt. Ron loves work - and I love it because he travels and I get the house to myself. I was just having a little bit of a sarcastic moment. How's you guys?
It was Coquitlam, not Penticton where his farm was. Just across the river from Burnaby.

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

As a refugee from the NZ forum can I say that Perth is one of the most pleasant, colourful places I've ever seen. And boring, nah, never!

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

I've never been to Perth.

However, the builders across the road (a six of them) are from Perth. To quote them directly, "Perth is even more boring than Cambridge". I think that they're making the perhaps dubious comparison with London.

Wendy, a rekkie is completely different to real ongoing life here in Perth

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

I, like hundreds of thousands of other people love Perth for not being like Melbourne etc. If you don't like Perth, that's fine with me. Just stop whinging about it and f**k off somewhere else.:zzz:

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

He is spot on but ask him if he can come up with 10 other pubs which are better?

Re: Is Perth boring ... ?
 

Good for you. I prefer Melbourne.
