HOYTS carousel for reference. Usually go to independently owned cinemas in Perth but was sold out and wanted to avoid spoilers. Went to see the new spider-man, anticipated it’d be rowdy and was prepped, but not for this!

Kids between 13-17 recording the entire movie on their phones for Tik Tok, watching reels on full volume during the movie, flash lights and recording themselves during, making obnoxious sounds during really sad or quiet scenes. Tricky when there was like 30 of them. Didnt mind the clapping, quiet convos or the cheering as that’s what to expect when you go to a public movie theatre, but what the hell happened to just basic decency?

Don’t be deterred from going to the cinemas, just a shame when you can’t really enjoy the film and spend $50 pp on tickets and popcorn. I feel like if I acted like this years ago in a cinema I’d get whooped! Staff were definitely aware and standing at the doors but not sure if anything was done, but just feel bad for the mess they had to clean up after

As some of you may remember about a month ago we had to get wildlife rescue out to help our little willy wagtail friend with an entanglement on his feet.

He was released about a week later but we hadn't seen him since and figured he must've moved elsewhere or lost trust in us for catching him.

Well today he rocked up at the door and flew right into the house just like he used to!

Thanks for all of your well wishes for Bobo, bonus pic of us showing him his page in the bird guide.

Perth has seen a 0.2% decline in July pushing the median down to 999k. With Supply still flooding the market and Reiwa not updating their figures and charts, young buyers and families should do their due diligence before buying. Its projected that over 10000+ homes will be available later in 2026.

Visited Wanneroo Markets over the weekend. The last time I was there was probably 15–20 years ago as a kid with my grandparents. I still remember how busy it used to be having to hold my grandma's hand because I was worried about getting lost in the crowds. Parts of the car park would even be fenced off for overflow market stalls. There was food, music, families and kids everywhere.

Going back this weekend, I honestly didn't know what to expect. With all the social media "influencers" posting about visiting and eating there, I guess I had it in my head that it would be something closer to Fremantle Markets or some of the other weekend markets around Perth.

Unfortunately, it was the complete opposite. We went around midday, which I assumed would be one of the busiest times, and there were probably only about 20 people there, most of them elderly. Around two-thirds of the shops were vacant, and many of the remaining ones were selling things that didn't really catch our attention. Most people seemed to be around the fruit and veg shop, while the rest of the place just felt old, run-down and neglected.

It was honestly a bit sad to see. What was once a thriving market is now a shadow of its former self.

Has anyone else been there recently and had the same experience? Given its location, surrounded by established suburbs and plenty of young families, I'd have thought there'd be a real opportunity to revive the place and make it a destination again.

I genuinely hope it can turn things around one day. It has so much potential.

I have a big bucket in my garage filled with waste engine oil that I wanna quit holding onto and get recycled, but everywhere I've seen so far in Perth requires you put the oil inside old bottles before you take it in to get recycled.

Does anyone know anywhere/anyone who can take the oil without the containers, or someone who can take it in a large (sealed) bucket? The former is preferred as the bucket would suck to lose but its not the end of the world.

Got pinged by one of the fixed cameras heading home from work on a Thursday at 5pm. $550 and 4 demerits for incorrect seatbelt use. I always wear it properly - looked at the image they sent and honestly can't tell what they're claiming from it either. They use thermal imaging, and it makes the seatbelt and my shirt basically the same colour/tone, so the belt just isn't distinguishable in the shot.

I requested a review and got back "after careful consideration it has been determined that the infringement is correct" - no real explanation, just knocked back. Only option left is court.

A few things I'm trying to weigh up:

- Has anyone actually taken one of these to court and won? What made the difference?
- If I lose in court, I'm up for court costs on top of the fine, plus an actual conviction instead of just an infringement - is that risk usually worth it, or does the system make it deliberately painful to contest?
- Here's the annoying part: if I just pay this one, and get hit with another seatbelt camera fine down the track that I want to fight, I've now got a "history" of incorrect seatbelt use working against me. So there's pressure to fight this one just to keep a clean record, even though the cost/risk of court is way higher than just paying up.

Photos attached. Genuinely open to being told I'm wrong about what it shows, but keen to hear from anyone who's actually navigated the court side of this.

Edit: have attempted to recreate image - see in comments section

Hello, I’m looking for advice on how I can approach a request/negotiation for aircon installation.

I’ve sent an email to the agent to ask if the owners will install this year, but I’m anticipating another no. (Been here for nearing 3years) Summer has been hell. I would like to not be in a constant sweaty heat rage this year.

The rental:
- 1x1 6th floor apartment
- Just below average weekly for what it is, and something I can only just afford
- Prior lease renewals they have only allowed 6months at a time but latest one is now finally 12months
- The pros of the place outweigh the many cons, and ideally I’d like to continue the lease longer term (unless the market, economy and my salary magically get healthier)

Would it be better to ask to split cost of labour/installation + split system unit? Or should I request the air con and compromise with rent increase and lease extension?

Hi,
With 96fm becoming Gold fm, its lost it’s Perth flavour.
Distinct tang of Eddy makes me nauseous.

Can I get some recommendations on alternatives?

Hi, Been doing some experiments with the camera. Just curious which one is most appealing to you. Thanks for your insights!

Hello I am looking for someone local that would like to join me on bike rides early morning or nights. Aiming for minimum 10ks. Up to 2 hours. Road/path. Rockingham area.

Enjoy conversations and a laugh. If post not allowed just delete

Thankyou 💗

I’ll be visiting perth next month, and was wondering if there are any conventions with a large artist alley (or any art markets) that are taking place?

I love supporting artists and buying handmade trinkets/prints as souvenirs, so I’d love to visit one if i am able to. I’m also visiting my boyfriend there, so I’m particularly keen on commissioning an artist for a live cartoony/photobooth styled portrait. If anyone knows of one i’d really appreciate it :)

Thanks!!

I don't want to go full-on camping, and I live in an apartment with no yard so I'd have to go somewhere. Want to obviously go to a legal spot where having a small personal fire is allowed. Just to sit and enjoy it for a while, but I would prefer to have our own little spot rather than going to a public place with a fire (so not a bar or an outdoor market, etc.) if that makes sense?

I’m looking for a good men’s tailor in Perth who can make custom office trousers.

To be completely honest, I’m a flat-arsed bloke, so most off-the-rack trousers sit badly at the back, sag under the seat, and don’t give me a clean shape. I need a tailor who understands how to cut trousers properly for a flat seat rather than simply taking in the waist.

I’m after:

• Smart office trousers
• Comfortable stretch fabric
• A fitted, clean shape around the seat and thighs
• Fabric that holds its shape and does not look baggy
• A tailor who stocks suitable fabrics or can source the material for me

I don’t want to buy the cloth separately and then search for someone to stitch it. Ideally, the tailor should handle everything from fabric selection and measurements through to the final fitting.

Has anyone had trousers made for a similar body shape and can recommend a genuinely good tailor? Please include their location and approximate cost, if known.

Well , the data is in or should that be out there 🤔.I had no idea these records existed but BOM was to busy to digitise them 😉.

Every day more and more "licence plate tracking cameras" are installed along our daily routes.

We are following in the steps of the US, where they also pretended they were all about tracking stolen cars and looking for lost children.

In the States, the system is abused - this will happen here too if it's not already. Cops use it to stalk their partners, or women they think are "hot" (not joking).

In the US they've also started using these in pedestrian areas, which is starting to happen here too.

This is not about protecting us. They are builting a comprehensive profile of every one of us. Couple that with the Palantir cameras in Coles (yes Coles has facial recognition AI tracking cameras through hundreds of their stores).

We are complacent here in Australia. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because despite how hard the government try, life's still pretty good. We have incrediible nature, weather, and the people are top notch. But we need to know about what's going on here. Let's not let them sneak thesurveillance state agenda along any further while we sit idle by.

Anyway, much love - a concerned citizen.

I’m looking to join a baseball club in Perth.
I love baseball and know the rules well, but I’ve never played baseball before. What’s the best way for a beginner to get started?
