Hmm, local festival at a riverside park on sunday. Thought it would be nice to go but didn't want to drive since it wasn't far, but a bit too far to walk. So we took the bus.

our ide on the bus passed 2 bustops. = $1.45 in fare there, 1.45 back. No wonder I hate public transport so much!!

I agree, public transport in Perth is an absolute joke. Like Canberra, Perth is one of those cities that makes getting around nigh impossible if without a car. Had to use the bus for the first time in over a year this morning (both of my bikes are temporarily out of commission at present - I usually enjoy cycling to work as doing my part for the environment & getting exercise at the same time) and it cost freaking $3.70 for a 5 minute commute!!

Oh and yeah, my bike that was smashed all that time ago? Still in the bike shop waiting on new forks...The guy that was helping me went on 3 weeks leave not long after I took my bike in for repairs. Only just found this out yesterday too...Did this country ever have good customer service?

When was the last time you were ACT dude?

Transport has improved heaps, and getting from store to store, mall to mall easy enough.

Perth roads are better designed than Sydney.

I'd say any other major city in Australia has a better road network than Sydney. Sydney's roads are like... well, driving in Sydney drives us locals nuts. It's funny watching out-of-towners go understandably insane when they try to drive here (still remember seeing Demonac try to drive around Sydney... that was fun for him ) - though Melbourne's Hook Turns freak us Sydneysiders out. Perth roads look funny with all those brown streaks along the kerb/footpaths -- I'm told it's from the irrigated water... suuuure it is.

I still can't get over how there's freakin' sand _everywhere_ in Perth! I've noticed that Perthians are easily startled and travel in single file to hide their numbers.

5 years ago. Glad to hear things have improved since then! Do you remember when they were talking of having those pods on rails to ferry people from the city the airport? That would have been awesome!

[gantz]

Yeah I do, we're currently having the 'Light Rail' argument. Again

Stupid Target Joondalup wouldn't pricematch KMart on a Skullgrin.

Just found out my girlfriends Aunt has all her sons G1 figures still in original packaging in her roof and is saving them for when her gransdon is old enough (he's still a baby). I can't ask for them because the second I do they'll jump online and charge me the highest possible price to buy them, that's if they agree to part with them.
So now I get to watch a baby trash a bunch og G1's that are still in excellent condition.
