griffo I think the third line of banjo's post is bang on the money.
the problem with people in perth is that in their isolation their brains are going.
look at the resistance offered to anything different.
they will flay themselves in the streets to prevent anything changing.
perthites need a good solid natural disaster to befall them and shake them out of the rut they bury themselves in.
just look at the bull**** on the freeway in the morning. in the 100km/h zone they flog along at 80, safe and secure in their mediocrity. when they get to the 80 zone do they keep on going since they are already at the speed? no way jose. they slow to 60.
the only other place that you see that sort of slow brain clinging steadfastly to yesterday is in an aged persons home.
I'm serious on the appraisal. I've lived in Perth since 1970.
aeroplanes on the swan river? bugger me havent we had enough of the noise problems during the war??? when will they ever learn???
Perth sentences itself to total mediocracy.
me personally. I'm in total support of the guy flying floatplanes off the swan.
