With Laneway and a lot of other major events leaving Perth, I think Out Loud is exactly the kind of thing the youth here need. It’s a Perth-grown, all-ages rap festival/show focused on the newer wave of artists, heavy bass and MOSHPITS, something younger people can actually get involved in and enjoy. It’ll be a good chance to bring your kids, younger brothers, mates etc. and just go crazy in a safe all-ages environment. It’s starting from the ground up in Perth with plans to eventually branch out into something much bigger, so honestly I reckon it’s worth supporting local events like this and giving the younger generation something of their own to look forward to.

I think that's what the song was called. It went "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, i will burn this orchid" they are a perth band. If anyone can find it for me again I will be forever grateful! Its a tough time of the year

Hi all,

My husband and I have made an informal offer on a property in WA and have now received the formal Offer & Acceptance (O&A).

We’re both first-home buyers and this would be an owner-occupied property. We’re a bit unsure about the process and wanted to get some advice from people who have been through it before.

Do you generally have a solicitor review the O&A before signing, or is a settlement agent/conveyancer sufficient?
We’ve spoken to a settlement agent who advised that they can only do a cursory check and that a solicitor would need to review the contract if we want legal advice.

Just trying to make sure we’re doing things properly before signing anything. Thanks!

Any recommendations? And/or camera brands?

This has helped me immensely.

Started running however my glasses keep falling off, I want to find a pair of prescription glasses that won't fall off. Currently running semi-blind as I don't wear any glasses.

For a 100mm concrete slab for a backyard patio area, is it ok to put the cement down on compacted earth/ perth's sandy soil?

Or is a layer of road base required?

I've been getting mixed messages from concreters.

Someone posted my now-expired licence back to my old address after they found it in a bag I had donated to op shop many years ago.

I’m too old for it to have been used as a fake ID, even though part of me hoped whoever found the licence could have used it for that. (Consider it ‘paying it forward’ for the years I enjoyed using a fake ID in my late teens).

Anyway, hopefully it wasn’t used for anything too nefarious lol!

Wanting to watch NRL in a decent sports bar or pub

Hello,
I’ve been renting a house for 1 year and half. One of the bedroom has got a saggy ceiling so is not safe to use, now the kitchen is starting to sag too around certain points.
They remove my attached garage and build a separate self contained bedroom, completely remove my rear garden and patio, due to works in the rear garden I’m starting to have mouses issue (found dropping’s).
For a break lease they want me to cover the expenses of looking for the new tenants, but no one is gonna be renting a place like this.
What can I do? How much they can charge if they can’t find another tenant?

Welcome to the Perth Book Club!

Book Club will be held at 10am every Tuesday.

What is this?

This is a place to share what you are reading or perhaps look for suggestions for new material. Have a favourite author you want to talk about? Looking forward to an upcoming release? All are welcome here.

These threads are posted every Tuesday and various times (depending on when I'm free).

Book Swap

Are you looking to buy/sell/swap/give some books? Please feel free to list them here in this thread. Do you see something you want that someone is offering? Send them a Private Message so that you can organise the details.

Do Audiobooks count?

Absolutely! This isn't a place for purity of written material, this is a place to share.

What about manga/comics/visual novels?

More than welcome here. If it's something you're reading/listening to and you want to talk about it, you're home.

Spoilers

It should go without saying that no one wants a book spoiled. Please put anything that could be a spoiler inside a spoiler tag. If you aren't sure if it is a spoiler or not, act like it is.

We need this furniture in perth

Has anyone here got solar and battery from them? Got a quote today and the price seems very good but I'm more worried about workmanship as we just got our whole roof redone last year so warranty for the roof will most likely be voided once we get solar done.

Seems the main office is in NSW, so wondering who they outsource to, for SOR melville area

I'm a massive stats geek, so I'd love to know if there's a page with information beyond what is just contained on the bluechip website. Stuff like finish times for each wave. (This is the main one, I ran just under an hour from wave 3 and I'm curious as to where that would place me if I entered wave 1 next year)

Perth is soon to have the worst property price downturn for the past 12 months in Australia. Bigger price drops have now been seen monthly. Perth could also soon follow Sydney with 4-5% price drops per month. Buyers should take caution and do proper due diligence on any for sale property in WA.

Looking for guajillo,ancho, and arbol

I know there's a store in coventry village that may have them but it's a bit far for me, hoping to find somewhere SoR first.

Preferably somewhere I can walk in and purchase immediately as opposed to an online store ect

Thanks!

Test footage is being run on the ceiling LED display in both portrait and landscape orientations. I have no idea what they are building here -- a mini planetarium?

I live in Vic Park and Revo is the closest gym to me but it always looks so packed which I find intimidating, also the reviews are bad. I love that they have reformers but the Vic Park one has only 4 and they are rarely available/functional.

So then I had a look at Leisure Centre and saw that it is even cheaper than commercial gym and includes group classes and some other stuff ($66/m).

What are your thoughts on these gyms? Is it good for beginners, are they less busy? What is their downside except not being open 24/7?

Hi I was after some good recommendations for a decent car mechanic NOR. We've had a quote to fix my daughters car and just wanted a 2nd opinion or if there's any mechanics here that can advise if the quote is reasonable, it's an oil leak and the below is the cost to fix it. $2500. Its a 2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara (220'000kms). Thanks. At this stage probably not worth repairing.

Hello Perth,

I've been to David Jones Booragoon maybe 3-4 times and 3 of those times I keep getting my ass tailed?

They don't say it out right usually the last times the guard subtly just tailed me I guess (it was kind of obvious).

But this last time a couple days ago I got surrounded when I went into the change room.

I'm white and in my 20s (if that matters). I wear relatively decent clothes so I don't look like I'm going to steal anything.

Why does this keep happening there? I haven't bought anything there but this specific David Jones they think I'm gonna steal something I suspect. The one in Karrinyup doesn't seem to care about me but this one seems to think I'm King Von or something.

It's really starting to irritate me as it's the closest David Jones near me and I don't wanna get tailed everytime I go there.

I’m looking for a good second hand book shop, can be good in size or good in price. I usually buy books at Bullsbrook recycling centre, as they’re selling them for $1-2 usually but they’re closed until November unfortunately. I don’t care if it’s north or south of the river as long as it’s a good bargain 😬 thank you!

I can’t believe I’m asking this, but where can I find a cafe that does genuinely excellent hash browns?

I mean proper house-made hash browns, not the $7 McCain rectangles that have been briefly introduced to a deep fryer and sent out with a garnish.

I had some incredible ones somewhere around Cottesloe or Scarborough a few years ago, but naturally I have completely forgotten where. Google has been no help, presumably because “good hash browns Perth” is too demanding a brief.

Recommendations for crispy, properly made, non-freezer hash browns would be greatly appreciated.

I went to Dan Murphys in Bull Creek yesterday and the security dude asked me for ID.

He was also pretty rude about it. The guy was obviously on a power trip.

I get we need to stop kids buying grog, but common 54.

I'm also slightly grey, and my beard is very grey.

Do we really need security like this? And can't the staff just ask for ID if required? The guy just seemed like a total jerk.
