tuck shop arms

Pretty sure that's not what Sanj was getting at.

Gotta commend you on your cool kid lingo, Sank. You didn't even know what yorn and smexy was once upon a time ;)



Cite at One40 is crap by the by. They do sell your watches though, Gabs. Shoe shop is also crap.

um i actually was talking about tuck shop arms, which are also known as bingo wings. what did u think i was on about?

is there a new cool kid term for me to learn and impress my friends with?

Haha, really? Well, there you go.

I know the term bingo wings but going on the discussion and factoring in the Sanj factor, assumed you meant the other meaning.

Nevermind - if you don't know it, awesome!

^^ I wasn't sure which he was referring to, if that is any consolation. Can never tell if he is referring above or below the belt, so to speak. (see bagel reference from earlier today)

lulz

u best tell me woman cos now im curious

bart - the bagel reference was inadvertantly a euphemism, i was just trying to think of something kosher and something not so kosher. i might use it though, i think it's quality

eg id slip some lard into bar rafaeli's bagel anytime

Pretty sure that's not what Sanj was getting at.

Yeh I seen, but I can get the same ones for half price off the net.. ChaaaaaCHING!! :lol:

The only comment of worth on this thread today. Fact.

Yeah its fucked up.

I don't have a problem with any of these places opening later but the small bars should be able to as well.

Funny the Rise getting in on it. Completely different crowd so don't know why they care. Probably because they've got pingers who cause no trouble and pissheads cuasing trouble down the road.

Did anyone go to the PertHour thing about small bars? Even the woman from the Dept of Liquour Licensing seemed to agree...although didn't say explicitly. Basically - a small bar license is till 12. You can get an exeption until 1. Them's the rules. If you want to open later you have to get a Tavern or Nightclub license (much more expensive). Wouldn't say why they are the rules or what review process there is for them to possibly get changed.

I hate it as end up having a great night around the small bars in Perth... time flies... then its midnight and I either have to go home, go to a pub that is open late (not many where you can still have a conversation - at least the Brass Monkey is better than the Elephant/Rosies/Mustang) or go to a nightclub (getting a bit old for that). :ohno:

The state govt are looking at further reforms to the small bar act. The current trading hours for bars is just fucked. 10pm on sundays FFS!

The bird has a tavern license btw.

As for the health department, what a bunch of kill-joy pricks. If it were up to them we'd have prohibition. I don't even see why they'd be considered a stakeholder in deciding who should and shouldn't get liquor apps.

I like to analyse everything I have to do to find the most efficient way to get it done. If its something I am useless at (eg cleaning) I'll get someone else to do it. Not worth doing unless you can do it right.

Really sweetie, how can someone be useless at cleaning? I'm average at it I suppose but utterly detest it. You work all week then spend all of Saturday cleaning, then by Sunday you're a puddle on the floor. I've been thinking I'd get someone in to do mine too, it is just a worry that organising a cleaner might take more time and effort than just doing it yourself!

cleaning? whats that?

^^ It is something that some people get the "help" (often Asian) to do.

Does mincy know about this ulterior motive of yours kfc?

she accepted her destiny at birth

Geez - it didn't take long for my not-so-subtle joke to get found out. I'm lucky this is a thread Mincy doesn't come to.

:lol: You have no idea. I'm great at being organised and tidy but wiping down stuff etc. I just make more of a mess. I'm not sure whats wrong with me.

On top of that like you say you spend all week working last thing you want to do is spend one day of your weekend cleaning.

To clean my place as shit as I do it takes me around half a day. My cleaning lady comes in 2 hours a fortnight and its cleaner then I could ever make it.

So i had a look at the Herdsman website and they open on the 23rd of this month.

WA trading hours 'a farce' - Coles MD
by AAP on September 16, 2010

Coles MD Ian McLeod has slammed Western Australia's retail trading hours regime as "a complete farce".

McLeod told a business forum in Perth on Thursday that WA should change its retail trading hours regime, which was "a decade behind the rest of Australia".

Under WA's retail trading regulations, certain retail outlets can open on a Sunday while others cannot, depending on factors such as how many staff are on shift at any one time and whether the store is in a tourism precinct, writes Rebecca Le May of AAP.

Progress appears to be being made, however, with the WA government and opposition agreeing in-principle in June to extend trading hours on weeknights while shops selling bulky or "durable consumer goods" will be allowed to trade on Sunday.

But the ad hoc changes - resulting from several attempts at reform - were recently labelled a "dog's breakfast" by Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive James Pearson.

McLeod said it was a confusing situation that begged for improvement.

"Western Australian trading hours are a complete farce in my view and it's something I believe ought to be addressed," McLeod said.

"We've got six stores that are open in Perth on a Sunday and more than 50 stores in WA that have to remain shut on that day because they don't fit with all the strange rules."

Speaking with reporters after the briefing, McLeod went a step further, advocating full de-regulation of the retail sector.

"Why does it have to be regulated at all?

"It should be down to the retailer.

"It offers more employment, it offers more choice (for consumers)... so why regulate at all?"

WA's current retail trading hours regime gave an unfair advantage to IGA supermarkets, which were far from "corner shops", he told the briefing.

"In Perth, they're bloody huge."

McLeod said the current regime was also unfair to WA shoppers.

"The customer needs a fair go."

He said 80 per cent of Perth residents wanted extended weekday supermarket hours and over 70 per cent wanted more flexible Sunday trading rules.

"So there's a very substantial demand out there."

so went to kazbah in balmain on sunday and had a really good brunch. interestingly they serve both breakfast and lunch til 3pm and this is something we need more of in perth. you can have both a breakfast and a lunch dish on the same table which is perfect.


wouldnt recommend it to mincy as they do not take reservations and are extremely busy but the good thing is that when you go and give them your name etc they give you an approximate time so youre free to walk around etc


north african/middle eastern food, very tasty. 2 of us had a massive breakfast with a couple of drinks and it was $53 which is pretty good.

they also do a breakfast degustation for groups of 6 or more that looked fantastic. only $25pp and the quality and quantity of the food is really impressive

they do not take reservations and are extremely busy but the good thing is that when you go and give them your name etc they give you an approximate time so youre free to walk around etc


Explain to me why places do this, please, Sanj.

I have no idea why they do it and it just pisses me off.

There could very well be sound thinking behind it but nothing I can come up with on my own.

well as far as i know no-one takes breakfast reservations (except maybe larger groups or buffet type places) so the brekky part isnt a big deal

re the other meals though i imagine they do it so they dont have to deal with the whole people booking and no turning up thing. also a place with people waiting outside to get in is always going to seem more intriguing than the place next door without a line etc

Explain to me why places do this, please, Sanj (or any other nosy bastard)



The short answer is because they can :)

There is Prada signage up on the hoarding now..

Went to Soto for brekky this morning. Very disappointed. I went about 6 months ago and it was quite good.

Potato cake was col, bacon tasted like it had been sitting there for hours, bread was barely toasted and Mocha has a slightly burnt taste. For the price I paid I'd expect a lot better.

Went across the road afterwards and saw Beaufort st Merchant and had a look at their menu. Cheaper prices and the food and service looked much better.

this was morning -

young girl comes to ask if i wanted to have breakfast, i said yes thanks, i'll start with a mocha... she leaves to place tha order...

five minutes later, she comes back to apologise for tha wait and hands me a menu... i asked, if they had tha newspaper, she replies yes, goes back in and never comes back... i can see newspaper by tha front counter...

after a few minutes, she comes back outside to wait on some new people, takes their coffee order, steps back to my table and takes my order to which i ask my usual scrambled eggs, ham, cheese and tomato on toast... to which she replies, "that's not on tha menu"... so i point to her it's tha eggs and toast with a side note "to your liking..." "oh" she says, "i'll just run it by tha chef and make sure you can get it..." then remembers i asked for tha paper... and proceeds to ask whether i still wanted it, to which i said yes please... "i'll quickly go get it..." she goes back in... i look over to tha counter and notice tha paper is gone... to which i start internalising ohmmmmmmmmmmm's to avoid queen bitch diva from coming out...

a couple of minutes later she comes to bring my coffee and then apologises for forgetting tha paper... "i'm really sorry..." i thank her for tha coffee, she goes back in, i watch her over tha next few minutes clearing up tables inside and what-not... and she comes in and out a couple of times to wait on other tables... i start asking myself why she doesn't just tell me all tha paper's are gone and be done with it...

i wait and finally my meal comes out, asks if i wanted anything else, then proceeds to tell me all tha paper's are being used... i think "girl i was over your shitty service 5 days ago..." so then she asks if i wanted anything else, so i ask for some water... she leaves and never comes back...

i pay up and proceed to go home with my child, walk thru back streets and noticed a high perched cafe with hipster locals over looking tha road and side street with big ass brothel's on either side... i look over to tha people eating at tha balcony seating and sni!gger at their "enjoyment" watching men who might walk in and out of tha brothels... lol. hawt.

avoid tha blue room in south melbourne...

So a while back (April) I bought 3 tailor made shirts from Joseph Anthony. First off I'll say the positive, the shirts are of good quality and do fit very well. However thats where the good ends.

The service is shocking. Nice people in store but I ordered these shirts and heard nothing for a month. I called and they told me that were having delays. Another month went past and still nothing so I called again. Next week they said - nothing so I called again, next week and so on until end of June I get my shirts.

I get my shirts and they come straight from a package (they were all folded) so I assume they just order them online from Asia somewhere.

However I only got 2 shirts I ordered. I asked about the third. "The shirt had a thread pull in it so we sent it back to get fixed". Be back in a week. No problem.

2 weeks went past so I followed up again. Next week they said. Followed up 2 weeks later. "We can't get the style you picked, you'll have to come back in and pick another". So I finally went back on the weekend and chose another style. No apology, no offer of anything for free.

Now for $250 a shirt (I got a 3 for 2 deal though still way too expensive) I expect much better service. I feel utterly ripped off.

Got my measurements now so I'll just order them off the net from now on.

you're not exercising your power of destruction enough if you're buying shirts at $250 a pop...

:p

I didn't. I got 3 for the price of two. Although $500 for 3 shirts is ridiculous I was in dire need of new shirts. A decent Hugo Boss shirt will run you $150 which is nowhere need as good quality so I figure why not.

I need to buy new Tigers as mine have had it. With dollar being so good at the moment I figure its perfect timing so does anyone know a good/cheap website to by shoes from.

i would have gone off at them for behaviour like that. how much of a deposit had you paid?


bought a whole hogget shoulder today. looking forward to dinner tomorrow.


mark with the awesome carrots and other veg is back at mondo on saturdays. highly recommended

I couldn't believe a jacket in calibre was priced at $750! Who the hell do they think they are? Burberry?

Comparably, Politix has an equally good clothing range for less than half the price of calibre.

I knew I'd read comments on Politix here... I picked up an end of season jacket today for about $240 down from $450 - they were matching prices from their myer store as there is a 1-day myer sale on. Very happy with the jacket (wool), but I would have checked out Calibre had I been more organised and checked here 1st. I was dreading coming home and finding out everyone thought Politix was the worst shop ever and I'd have to hide it in shame:)

I didn't. I got 3 for the price of two. Although $500 for 3 shirts is ridiculous I was in dire need of new shirts. A decent Hugo Boss shirt will run you $150 which is nowhere need as good quality so I figure why not.

In Hong Kong / Bangkok / Singapore...

...a *really* good tailor made shirt will cost you about 50 or 60 bucks.

For about 200, you will get the finest shirt you have ever seen in your life, worlds best.

Multiple fittings, finest cloth and construction, etc.

A *really* nice tailor made suit, about 500 - 600.

We may have had this convo before, but, with the price of airfares these days, I don't know why anyone would shop for suits locally. Go to Singapore, spend about 1 - 1.5k, and get two suits and 5 or 6 shirts, and be back for Monday at work!

I had paid half as a deposit. I don't get angry very often, I find disappointment works better. Still, I'll just boycot them.

Yeah we've had this discussion before. I still plan to go and do that but just needed a few shirts to get me by now.

LOL - That is all.

I had torn 3 shirts in 3 months, 2 in a fortnight. Very frustrating so I just needed shirts.

I'm about to freshen the wardrobe with these: http://www.tmlewin.co.uk/

4 great shirts for 100 quid = under $50 a shirt and they really are a great shirt - a mate put me on to them and he is in an executive type position where one needs great shirts. He's not tried the suits, but if you know your measurements the shirts are great. If you were comparing with what you could pick up at DJs/Myer for under $50 (and I know you are all classier than that), well these are $100+ shirts by my reckoning, and you can name your sleeve length etc. With the weak pound it is like what $40 a shirt? crazy.

I'm just holding out as they sometimes have 5 for 100 quid specials - tightarse!

This all includes postage worldwide.

Hmm today it wants to charge me for postage... hmm.

I can't understand how people are able shop online for clothes. 99% of what I try on in stores doesn't fit well, which drives me nuts enough, let alone having to post things back because they don't fit.

Don't worry you're not alone. Unless you have a catalogue figure the majority of the population walks around in ill-fitting clothes regardless of the purchase method. Some just spend (a lot) more than others for that 'privilege'.

Business shirts, most just walk in to wherever and pick up something in the correct neck size, no choice on the sleeves, maybe a token "slim fit".... in a packet all pinned up so buggered if you're trying it on for fit.

Here's a tip. Try it on in the store first then search for it online much cheaper. Another thing I do is stick to brands I know. Almost guarenteed to get the exact same fit. Good websites also have exact measurements of clothes so you can get the right fit.

The reason I got tailor made shirts. My neck is quite thick so all my shirts are like tents unless I get shirts too small for my neck but then they usually don't fit my shoulders.

I am wearing a HK tailored shirt as we speak!!

Nate, I had a dream I bought you a pair of sneakers (Tiger California's to be exact) for your birthday, but just before I was about to give em to you I changed my mind and decided to keep them for myself, and gave you one of those small plastic pairs instead.. haha total random!


P.S I want the new HALS X REEBOKs!!

less zegna more foie gras pls

gabs - its the thought that counts haha

sanj, I got nothin - on a whim, went to "sizzle mania" for lunch the other day. Not recommended.

You're right, quality, fit etc has nothing to do with what clothes cost. You see well made things for $15 and badly made things for $500. All I want is a natural fibre, nice fabric, properly sewn and a decent fit, but you have to be happy if you even get two of those things. Target has been good lately, their clothes actually cater for women with hips, waists and breasts, miracles of miracles, rather than the usual catering to logs and stick insects. I have been willing to pay more for natural fibre garments because they wash better, but even high end things are more often than not synthetic now. A lot of synthetic stuff lasts one wash :ohno:.

Business shirts, most just walk in to wherever and pick up something in the correct neck size, no choice on the sleeves, maybe a token "slim fit".... in a packet all pinned up so buggered if you're trying it on for fit.

Not fair that you can do that and get away with it! I've noticed also the last couple of years that mens clothes have nicer fabrics than womens. I've started buying things that are too big in some areas then getting an alterations place to fix it. They do a good job those places actually.

Although, speaking of fabrics, I noticed that Dangerfield have some magnificent fabric. Really rather fond of a good fabric put to the right use.

Here's a tip. Try it on in the store first then search for it online much cheaper. Another thing I do is stick to brands I know. Almost guarenteed to get the exact same fit. Good websites also have exact measurements of clothes so you can get the right fit.

Ah, good idea. Although going to such bother for clothes makes me feel suddenly weary :). I don't really have a passion for fashion and my job has a messy component that allows me to get away with wearing Rivers cords, like a certain other forumer. At least I wear shoes and a brassiere, unlike some of my colleagues.

I agree with what NVL said too, going to another country every few years to get some nice things made. It is extravagant I suppose, but if you are there anyway... I had three silk and three cotton business shirts and a silk lined wool dress (so warm) made in Thailand recently, they are masterpieces of tailoring and craftsmanship! The shirts were $25-$30 each and the dress $100. I don't wear them though, just look at them in the cupboard and rub my face against them, lovely. Miracles of tailoring don't take kindly to five kg of winter pudding though. That is what stretch cord is for.

Sorry about the waffle, I'm pretending to work.

Sorry Sanj...here you are.

I think the Inglewood has quite decent pub style meals and they are under $20 as well. I've been there a couple of times recently and had a guinness pie one time and fish and chips another (quite obvious where the winter pudding has come from). They have a decent side salad with nice dressing and good chips. They have 'small' meals for about $10 as well, homemade chicken sausage rolls etc. A fellow on the next table said he only goes there for the sausage rolls.

Casa Mia on Great Eastern Hwy Belmont is a strange place though, I've been there a couple of times recently too, as I like the setting (open fires, old house, intimate). The food was ok, same hearty style food as the pub, but costs about 30% more. Had the best roast pork I've ever had there one time. The staff are quite interesting, it looks like a couple run it, he smokes and chats with the patrons while she runs around in a flap and a fury, giving you the death-look at the slightest provocation.

You see well made things for $15 and badly made things for $500.

wearing Rivers cords, like a certain other forumer.

I'm pretending to work.

ah a woman after my own heart ;) (on 3 counts)

Is there a special club for people who like wearing Rivers?

Google ads. Fish Food, Curry, Indian Food...

New edition on William Street will be open before the end of the month.

There were a few people in one40's Herdsman last night stocking shelves, etc.

Hey mincy, if you ever get a chance can u please post the cover article from this week's voice "Corner Shop Fury". It's the most stupid thing I've heard for a while.

^^ Yeah saw that. Just skimmed the article because it looked like the normal NIMBY thing.

Extended weeknight trading; check.

we should send congratulatory letters to john cummings

We should send him a Coles gift voucher .

we should pay for his braces

actually we really should start sending him smart arse letters, articles etc

wont be that hard

Woo hoo!!! I heart common sense.

LOL the three major news websites have all used the exact same article from AAP.


Perth shops get 9pm go-ahead
From: AAP September 21, 2010 5:34PM

NEW HOURS: Perth's major retail stores will be able to stay open until 9pm. Picture: Supplied Source: Supplied

MAJOR retail stores throughout the Perth metropolitan area will be able to stay open until 9pm on weeknights under legislation passed by state parliament.

The new laws follow Coles managing director Ian McLeod dismissing Western Australia's retail trading hours regime as "a complete farce".

Under the old laws, major retailers were forced to close at 6pm on weeknights with the exception of Thursdays.

Now, under the state government's plan to reform Perth's trading hour arrangements, retailers can keep their doors open well into the evening.

Commerce Minister Bill Marmion said the changes would benefit the community, particularly working parents, who now have the convenience of shopping when they like.

"Creating a retail trading environment that allows choice, flexibility and competition has always been the focus of this Government," Mr Marmion said.

"We take into account the modern lifestyles of West Australians, such as working parents, who may find it difficult to shop within the current restricted trading hours."

Under legislation which passed state parliament, the outer metropolitan suburbs of Midland and Armadale will have their trading hours extended and retailers will be able to open on Sundays.

Last week, Coles managing director Ian McLeod told a business forum in Perth that WA had to change its retail trading hours regime, which was "a decade behind the rest of Australia".

Trust me, its got nothing on a proposed Freo development. I have to scan it for its pure wankiness.

Basically, someone had the nerve to propose a three storey development of Wray Ave! While you're shitting your pants out of surprise, take into account that this development would be right in between two other three storey buildings (one on the left, one on the right).

I shit you not, there were quotes along the lines "there goes the neighbourhood", with 40 odd people coming out to protest.

How long before it comes into effect?

Yeah I was wondering that too, but seeing as they've all used the same article I cant seem to find any info.

Edit: just read the Media Statement. 'In time for the busy Christmas period'. So I would imagine november sometime.

I take it back sir. Then again it's perth where this sort of stupidity is the norm rather than the exception. freo has always been in a league of their own.

there was another article in the voice about a brothel on oxford st where a business owner next door was objecting because his employees would perve too much and get distracted. (not that the brothel had any chance of going ahead anyway)


I am looking forward to seeing some of the shithole IGAs getting upgraded now (leedie being one of them), although knowing perth a lot of establishments would rather loose money than do something slightly proactive.

I can finally say goodbye to IGA for good. Not that the one near me was that bad but just because of cheaper prices and the principle.

^^Thing is, these are exactly the sorts of things that the IGAs should do to differentiate themselves. Offer these sorts of products that you can't get at a regular supermarket (for example Stirling Village IGA with their big smallgoods section and range of imported Italian groceries) Get people to shop at your store because they want to, not because they have to.

youve obviously been in yooorop too long my friend. that would make far too much sense for it to work in perth

this should at least make settling back in perth a little easier... woof.

Yeah. True. Maybe ill just find somewhere else to buy cherry coke. They used to also have cherry 7up which is fucking fantastic!

This is the shiznit right here. Pepsi mixed with orange soft drink. Coke do one called Mezzo Mix, but Schwip Schwap is way better :) Your challenge is to find it in Perth jackso!

Has anyone seen Orangina in Perth? A friend of mine bought a few cans back from the UK. Way nicer than Fanta.

The add is hawt too

tKK37G-ZWvk

Their ads freak me out. Animals in bikinis and seductive poses = wrong!

you can buy orangina at some asian grocers (cant remember which ones) and i believe prime products on william st. from memory the ones at prime are from mauritius (i could be wrong) and sometimes they're good other times they're pretty flat

if u go there give limca and thumbs up a go, indian solo and coke equivalents

i used to love orangina as a kid, was also a fan of kickapoo joy juice. yes, that is the actual name, u can get it at a few of the azn grocers on william st (pretty sure vihenti has it).

not to dilaz they're not.

Anyway, 2 days until Herdsman opens. I cannot wait to step foot in there. I highly recommend their chocolate desserts. Top cafe quality at supermarket prices.

supermarket prices at the herdsman?? u sure about that??

which choc dessert u talking about btw? in the big fridge near the soups and salads etc?

I wonder what their trading hours will be like..

+1 to the chocolate desserts at herdsman. I love the chocolate and custard one with cake bits in the fridge section. Like a high quality Yogo :)

ah yes i know the one u mean. that is pretty good from memory

the chocolate mousse is the best.

See this one, Miensie?

Hey mincy, if you ever get a chance can u please post the cover article from this week's voice "Corner Shop Fury". It's the most stupid thing I've heard for a while.

lawl, I was this close to posting it for your enjoyment but thought better of it cos it really is stupid. Makes you feel dumber just by reading it.

But here you go, I got this out of the [recycling] bin. Would not have done that for anyone but you, Samby.

Did you guys notice that in all the articles (that I've seen) about the new Perth Retail hours there is no deliberate (or otherwise) misinformation. It's clearly worded to indicate that shops will be 'able' or have the 'choice' to open late and not 'will' open late.

In the past it's always been the more headline grabbing words to give the impression that deregulation actually meant all shops opening late which was clearly false and misleading.

They're either getting smarter or just a fluke.

edit: hey thanks mincy!! I knew I could count on you :)

Local newspapers can't resist any opportunity to have a photo of protesting residents (particularly children) lined up and looking directly at the camera. It's such a tired, manipulative and irritating cliche.

:bash:

The Voice is especially notorious for it. Front page, can you imagine.

That, and their articles with John Hyde sticking his beak into things.

Won't somebody think about the children!!!

Time for Perth to take on Sunday trading, say retailers
Katherine Fenech
September 22, 2010 - 9:04AM

http://images.watoday.com.au/2009/10/13/787167/article-shopping-420x0.jpg
Perth residents are now able to go to the shops after 6pm as well.

It's time to look at Sunday trading now that legislation allowing major Perth retailers to open until 9pm on weeknights has been passed, according to the Retail Traders' Association.

The State Parliament yesterday approved new laws, giving major retailers permission to keep their doors open after 6pm on weekdays, not just Thursdays.

While they are yet to decide on a date for the changes to come in, a spokeswoman for Commerce Minister Bill Marmion said it is hoped they would be in force for the Christmas trading period.

It was the culmination of negotiations between Premier Colin Barnett and Opposition Leader Eric Ripper.

Commerce Minister Bill Marmion also released a position paper on establishing a detailed register of retail shop leases yesterday.

Touted as a way to protect shopping centre tenants, the registers would be available to both current and prospective tenants and contain information on the terms of their leases.

Mr Barnett's previous bid at extending trading hours was defeated in August last year by the opposition and The Nationals. Labor had originally wanted a weekday closing time of 7pm.

RTA executive director Wayne Spencer welcomed the changes and said it was now time to look at allowing more Perth shops to open on Sundays.

"It was about time it's great to see that it's happened, now we need to all settle down and resolve the Sunday trading issue," Mr Spencer said.

But that could be a while off, with the state government and opposition yet to decide what constitutes a "bulky goods" shop. Only those trading in the bulky goods would be allowed to open on Sundays.

Mr Spencer said he was waiting for a discussion paper to be released for public consultation, which is due in the next month. It will seek public comment on which types of retailers they'd like to shop at on Sundays.

"Quite honestly it's going to create a shambles," he said. "I don't see why we can't allow people to trade right across the metropolitan area."

"The whole idea is to have a level playing field, we've got to have a diversity of products and services available."

He said he was disappointed with the decision to ban New Year's Day trading but that he could "stand back and see the bigger picture" of the changes already put through parliament.

Mr Marmion said the changes would benefit the community, particularly working parents, who now have the convenience of shopping when they like.

"Creating a retail trading environment that allows choice, flexibility and competition has always been the focus of this government," Mr Marmion said.

"We take into account the modern lifestyles of West Australians, such as working parents, who may find it difficult to shop within the current restricted trading hours."

You should post that on FB, Sanj.

Just so I can see what your friend Aaron says about it.

That article about children's lives being put at risk is comedy gold! Love it haha!

:lol:

aaron is actually quite progressive which is why i was surprised by his view but i wouldnt dismiss him as being a nimby

LOL 'modern' lifestyle! Welcome to the 20th century.

"We take into account the modern lifestyles of West Australians, such as working parents, who may find it difficult to shop within the current restricted trading hours."

LOL, if it's so serious just lobby for a footbridge over the road.

The first thing that comes to my head is why are the kids near Beaufort Street...
Dont let your kids go near a main road :)

Plenty of schools on Beaufort, I know all too well, as I've gotten busted in a school zone way too many times.

There are these things called zebra crossings and pedestrian lights. You look both ways and if it is safe you cross.

In any case, more stuff = more people = more cautious drivers. Also more traffic = slower traffic.

beauf st is pretty much 40k every 2mins during school times anyway. you can barely get out of 2nd gear.

http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/10_02/crocs_468x355.jpg

problem solved! got 6 pairs on pre-order (can't wear 'em on God's day tho)

h0h0, are we getting Sass & Bide??


Yes, we are:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/Miensie/SSC%20-%20Articles/SCAN1000_001.jpg

Tuesday's Guardian Express, y'all know the drill.

i must say their PR department didnt seem to do a great job. we heard non stop about LV and wheels & doll opening, hardly anything about sass & bide

i could be entirely wrong though as it could have been quite targeted advertising

I'm almost sure the store had been open for nearly 2 months. Mind you I'm probably the last person on their mailing list.

The last I heard was they were supposed to be opening in April but that didn't happen so I assumed they had pulled out or it wasn't going ahead. I would tend to agree with you though Sanj.

Doesn't bother me either way as I'm not a fan of their designs. Just look at what she's wearing - pink latex pants with jowls. Yuck. Overpriced for what it is and too try hard.

i'd like to know what i should be wearing to carlton's best and fairest???

lol.

Yeah S&B have been open for around a month now I think. Maybe longer.

Hahahaha...nah, in all seriousness, crave, just wear one of your medium grey suits and you'll do fine :okay:

♥ How cute is my avatar ♥

Herdsman looks great. Shelves fully stocked, and they had a lot of staff on. Also looks like there is a lot of checkouts which is a plus.

hai kids, went looking for wongs hawkers which i heard had reopened near curtin but couldnt find it. ended up having lunch at o'mama kopitiam, pretty good actually. they have a number of nasi lemak options with a choice of different chicken sides for $4.80 which is remarkably cheap for lunch in perth. nasi lemak sambal is pretty damn good as well.

they also do the malaysian drinks like teh tarik, barley, kopi etc

all in all definitely recommended. no idea how good the other dishes are although the mee goreng they made for my mum (she is allergic to MSG so they had to make it differently) was quite good.

yo crave have u been to earl canteen?

their pork belly baguette is meant to be pretty damn good

lol. i just got home and i wrote on facebook "i want pork floss..." then saw your comment...

nah i haven't sanj, thanks for tha heads up, i've been taking notes lately and i've been thinking about those "moreish" foods, last night i had some crazy gravy beef craving in a crusty bread with nothing else... tha other day, excuse my ignorance for never having come across "pork floss", but i came across it those asian bakery joints and god i couldn't stop eating it! lol.

love pork floss. did u have it with seaweed in one of those buns? from memory nate is a fan as well

thanks bart!

they used to be behind karawara shopping centre, near the kfc and shell. i havent been there in years but thought i would check it out as i heard they had reopened and my office is nearby in como. it had closed as the whole place is being redeveloped, you should see it now, looks entirely different to the dump it used to be.

they had some really good noodle dishes but also had some average ones. unfortunately like most hawker places what you specifically want to eat will determine where you should go

^^I hear that the KFC behind the shopping centre does really good burgers.

Novembar burger anyone?

Novembar burger anyone?

havent been but am curious to check it out. i suspect it is more novelty than substance but am happy to be proven wrong. more likely to be a burger like alfreds (big, greasy, tasty) but their chilli test could be fun

im not indifferent. i enjoy KK, just like i enjoy apple strudle @ corica but i dont think either are as amazing as people say

in fact i dare say if i am craving something sweet apple strudle @ corica will not be in my top 10 choices.

definitely not in the top 5

I bet Rockpool Bar & Grill and Bourke St Cafe are in your top 5...

im talking perth toots

btw i realise u r stirring but if u genuinely think that things like the brulee tarts @ bourke st bakery arent tasty (which is impossible as u didnt have any) your tastebuds are worse than i thought

I'm yanking your chain, hon ♥


Sherbet? Urgh...that red velvet cake and carrot cake and the coconut cake...urgh...

haha yesterday i broke my sherbet ban. i hadnt been for at least 6 weeks i think, possibly more

they had a new raspberry and vanilla layer cake that looked interesting. im eagerly waiting til they have their citrus (i think red grapefruit) poppy seed cake, have been waiting more than 6 months for it.

Do they rotate their cakes on some kind of schedule or is it just random, do you know?

I would not normally pick carrot cake so I have ckf to thank for that. It was bloody fantastic.

FIGJAM

i think it's random but i don t knwo that for a fact. even if there is a schedule i wouldnt want to know as part of the fun is turning up and seeing what is available

How good are you CKF?

will have to ask the wife, brb

que?

You couldn't hold out on your Sherbet ban. (variant on the Seinfeld episode)

ah i see what u mean. well i hadnt set a goal/ban as such i was just going way too regularly so had to cut down.



im thinking of doing something completely and utterly indulgent though as a reward for a couple of things. anyone have any ideas?

top of the list at the moment is probably a quick trip to liverpool to watch a game and try to fit in dinner at the fat duck

acc - would u be keen to join me at either? i kind of pissed off the guy who could get me tickets for liverpool games by calling him a dickhead fairweather fan but will see if i can repair that

Well done, Sank.

fuck him. high and mighty twat who is the exact sort of sensationalist idiot ruining football. i'd rather pay 300 quid a ticket blackmarket than have shut my mouth when he was running his.

he did delete me nearly immediately off facebook though so not sure how much hope i have

Bart, +1 for the Seinfeld reference.

Sanj, I'd def be up for both those things.

Visiting for 2 weeks.

:banana: :carrot: :pepper:

Is it really that soon? zomg awesomeness!

Probably common knowledge for some but worth sharing anyway.

Taken from the West Australian Good Food Guide 2011:

-As we went to press some exciting new restaurants were in the pipeline. In July 2010 Neil Perry announced he would be opening a Rockpool Grill at Burswood. It will follow the same highly successful formula of his flagship Sydney and Melbourne steakhouses with an $8 million fit out, it’s own ageing rooms, five tones of aging meat on the premises at any one time, great décor and, of course, the magic that is the Neil Perry touch. It is scheduled to open at Burswood in February 2011.

-Steve Scaffidi, the entrepreneur behind Subiaco’s hit restaurant Altos and then Bar One in the City was putting the finishing touches to his big, bold new CBD restaurant, Sentinel. We’re not sure what the name means but Scaffidi told The Good Food Guide that it will be ‘a mix of traditional French bistro cooking and modern American grill house’. The massive fit out encompasses three dining rooms and a stunning bar clad in travertine, wood, glass, black leather and a five metre tall ‘library wine wall’.

-Sebastian Bouchard, flush from the success of his new Bou Bar venture in Nedlands, will be adding to his flagship West Perth bistro, Bouchard, with a new project in Northbridge in 2011. ‘It’ll be a Cumulus Inc-style of operation,’ Bouchard said – a reference to the highly successful Cumulus Inc. restaurant in Flinders Lane, Melbourne. As we went to press negotiations over a site for the new venture were in full swing.

-Kate Lamont will be closing her East Perth restaurant in late 2010. She will move operations to her new restaurant in the western end of the CBD at about the same time. The East Perth restaurant will be closed for renovations for all of 2011. She’ll move back to East Perth sometime in 2012.

Speaking of the sentinel, there are now signs up saying that its opening in november.

and it's looking pretty sexy. This area of the terrace is going to be great with The Sentinel, The Palace, whatever opens at the Commonwealth Bank building and everything opening at City Square.

lulz @ sebastian bouchard

when he bought 6 clicks west and was about to change it to boubar he was saying things like he was going to revolutionise things and what he would do had not been done in perth yet etc

result - it is a meh cafe with a small number of average to good snacks and basic food items

to namedrop a place like cumulus inc is pretty fucking ballsy

Who is it that is opening the restaurant on the corner of William and James in NB? Any news on that?

You have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Bouchard is one of my favourite restaurants. I haven't been to Bou Bar though. Doesn't look like anything special on urban spoon.

nic trimboli of balthazar, duende, il lido, little creatures and ecucina fame

i can only assume it'll be great

You have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Bouchard is one of my favourite restaurants. I haven't been to Bou Bar though. Doesn't look like anything special on urban spoon.

yes and no. bouchard is good but he has shown a tendency to run his mouth and overpromise and underdeliver so lets see how he does with this one.

Sebastien Bouchard, owner of one of Perth's most famous restaurants, Bouchard, is about to open two new establishments within two weeks of each other.
The first is an espresso bar called Boubar in Nedlands, which Mr Bouchard said will serve ``super high quality coffee.''
``There is nothing like it in Australia that I've seen ... It's like a place I used to work in Montreal.''
Boubar will open in three weeks.
Following that, Mr Bouchard will open The Burgermeister, also in Nedlands which he hopes will double as an international beer bar.
``If I am able to get the liquor licence, I'm hoping to have about 100 international beers,'' he said.
Mr Bouchard said he believed doing something different to everyone else, and doing it well was the key to success.
``I think if people in Perth were to approach their venues like that, we'd have a restaurant scene a lot closer to those in Melbourne and Sydney,'' he said.

LOL X100!!
I'd never seen that article before. Holy crap, some people are really delusonal! (or must think the public are).
Absolutely nothing special about Boubar. For Perth's sake I hope his last prediction doesn't come true.
The place is no different than your average coffee shop. (with some yummy mummies)
At least 6 clicks west had a somewhat unique name.
boooo

Yes no different to a normal cafe, I've been there quite a lot.

nice knees

The dress, Samby. Model itself is ordinary. The dress.

yes.ordinary.i would definitely kick her out of bed if she farted

The dress, Samby. Model itself is ordinary. The dress.

I wasn't looking at the model, just the knee ;)

Who has nice looking knees though? Knees and elbows have got to be the ugliest parts of a human body.

Going to a fashion show/week would just kill me, just like a diabetic in a candy store.

If I don't see it then everything is ok ;)


lawl, the lady at the Approvals Office has gotten into the habit of emailing me DAs before I ask for them but they're still not copy and paste-able. What is going on.

Who has nice looking knees though? Knees and elbows have got to be the ugliest parts of a human body.


they can be the ugliest (for most) but can also be the nicest. much like feet.

Some people have really nice feet. Slim and elegant looking. I don't like the look of really long painted toenails though *shudder*


Went to Bar 399 last night for a couple drinks with some girlfriends and I must say, it's a drastic difference between a Friday/Saturday night.

You can actually hear yourself speak. Not sure why they turn the music up on weekends to an extent where you have to shout to be heard.

Knees schmees, feet schmeet. The key to attraction is being drunk and having a lady with a goon bladder squeeze in between you and a lady you are chatting up, offer you some goon, and well that scenario worked for me and the missus anyway. After that it is all about finding someone who tolerates endlessly repetitive jokes, and hopefully that lasts until you have kids which should buy you a few more years and then realistically it becomes just too much effort to generate the energy to move on.

Well, gee, Matt, you've really given me something to look forward to.

My theory? Don't have kids ;)

thats how i met my first wife! it seems to work

After that it is all about finding someone who tolerates endlessly repetitive jokes,

LULZ!! Yeah I must have hit the jackpot then (the feet were just a bonus I guess). I don't even find my stupid jokes mildly funny any more but somehow she's still amused. keep telling there's something seriously wrong with her.

crave! thanks for that! major food porn

just had lunch @ V burger bar in vic park. by far the best chips i have had in a long time. god damn they were good. perfectly crisp yet fluffy inside, not greasy and seasoned perfectly.

burger was good too, not amazing but no major complaints. worth going to just for the chips

thought you'd like that one...

gonna give that lo mai kai a crack... :~

You serious!

I have a major weakness for chips - crisps and chips alike.

Is this place new? Whereabouts is it/next to?

not new at all, nearly a year i think. they take a lot of cues from jus burgers, they use turkish buns, have a little skewer in the middle to hold it together, have some similar flavour combination etc

it is in between batavia corner and bintang, across the road from the prophet

Do they have vegie burgers?

Speaking of The Prophet, we should go. We should also take the Samby along :)

prophet is great, heaps of veg options for you as well. easily one of my favourite places to eat in perth


re V - i know theyve got a veggie stack burger, i think they have another option too but im not 100% sure. as passe and cliched as a veggie stack is it is actually pretty tasty, ive had it a couple of times in the past

; they take a lot of cues from jus burgers, they use turkish buns, have a little skewer in the middle to hold it together, have some similar flavour combination etc



Funny you should say that. Seems there are a few places who are trying to copy JB these days (or lets face it, more to the point, wherever JB copied their style from ;)). Have you noticed the sign outside JB saying no photos allowed because of impostors etc... (paraphrasing).

I found it quite amusing really, as apart from the fact that one doesn't need any photographic detail to copy a burger, it's plastered all over their website anyway. More of an arrogant self promotion disguised as brand protection.

yeah i noticed the sign, im with u on that. you cant stop people from copying your ideas because they can always just buy a burger and dissect it anyway so it seemed a bit self indulgent/an exercise in futility

as passe and cliched as a veggie stack is it is actually pretty tasty, ive had it a couple of times in the past

I ask this seriously, are you sure? I have had veggie stack burgers before and they're bland as.

Can you come to this year's Food Fair by the by? October 10th.

yeah the veg stack was definitely not bland. it was the 1990s in a burger as it was a veg stack with pesto and i believe a balsamic reduction but it worked. cant remember if there was some sort of cheese in it too, probably a feta or goats cheese, something like that.

food fair sounds good, will you be my tour guide? any hot, single azn women who want residency in australia in return for doing my laundry, cleaning the house etc?

disclaimer - i havent had the veg stack in at least 3-4 months, last time was when i went to cats so it couldve changed

lawl.

You think you might be interested in my friend who has the 30 years of age deadline? ;)

I'll definitely point out stuff that's good and that's not as good/bad. You can finally try my Mum's kway teow! I'll also introduce you so you might get a larger portion and for free ;)

Make sure you keep it open ok!


I will give this burger place a go. Definitely.

I'd rather it be something higher quality (though still affordable) than noni b. I shouldn't expect much more though, they have a right to locate themselves wherever they want and shouldn't be forced out of a location just because I don't fall into the target market [/sanj].

hot weather make aaron do less work.

but seriously. i agree with you sanj. there is no reason why it shouldn't be there. there are plenty of retail sites in the city other businesses can set up at. Having another bar/botuiqe shop etc is more interesting but its not like having noni b there is forcing them out.

it will obviously generate more activity (though perhaps not after hours) and that can only be seen as a good thing.

OMFG

Haha...I know...


Mmmm...crispy seaweed...these are just as good as a packet of chips to munch on.


Hoi Sank, do you know of/have you been to a Thai place on Canning Hwy across from The Raffles Hotel? Apparently it's really good? It was recommended to me last night but I cannot for the life of me remember the name.

the only one on canning hwy in applecross i can think of is thai corner. you wont like it, definitely thai food for whitefellas

there used to be another thai place next to hayashi, not sure if it is still around. again, nothing great.

i must say though that thai corner used to do a nice version of the minced chicken with basil back in the day, was properly hot too. we are talking a long time ago though so i cant vouch for it anymore. it is also not good value for money, im fairly sure most mains are in the high $20s, some in $30s

Mmmm...crispy seaweed...these are just as good as a packet of chips to munch on.

BETTER!

I have been buying the Thai one (chilli flavour) Tae Kae Noi... at least one a week.

I love that shit. I lived on it in Bangkok, you could get a pack of ten "Big Sheets"....

Which one do you like, where do you buy it Mincy?

I forgot to mention I was watching ABC News24 and there was a segment called the 'Commercial Quarter' or something that featured the small business' spawning in Perth lane ways and had a nice interview with Lisa and another with the owner of Wolf Lane.
The Lane way off the Murray St Mall should be finished by December according to Lisa.

OMG!!! Tao Kae Noi???

That is the exact one I get! I just finished eating a pack! I love the chilli and the original flavour - not brave enough to try the wasabi flavour yet XD

Bought it from the supermarket that's near the Brass Monkey for like $1.95!

Love the stuff! Am going back to get more cos I have run out hehe...

You is cool, Nate :okay:

haha thats where I've been buying it from! The tom yum is pretty good as well...

two things:

1) It tastes better in Thailand - it must just be that bit fresher
2) Imagine about four of the strips joined together, making a "sheet". The put ten of those sheets in a pack, and call it "big sheet". This is the one we don't get over here (yet), but its the bomb yo!

I had such cravings for it, after buying it every single day (at least once a day) in Banga's. The missus is a big fan as well.

Nate- Any idea as to what Fox Hunt will be?

All I know is it's the Pigeon Hole peeps.

This is a good thing, I think Pigeon Hole have a great range, great looking shops, and look forward to them doing something cool on William Street.

Cool. I like the name too. Pigeon Hole is an awesome little shop, I especially like the one in the Bon Marche Arcade.

they have one there too? bloody hell these guys are everywhere, LCourt and 2X Shafto lane. My Mrs can't stay away from it.

they have one there too

Coming soon...

So I moved right near Full Moon Thai.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to eat anything else for months, because holy shit it's good.

And Nate, do you guys do layby or whatever? I really want that ceramic elephant bank number I saw in your window yesterday, but can't shell out the full amount immediately.......................!

ýer, i watched that too, king st/wolf lane? is the most beautiful city area in perth. where exactly is the laneway off murray street?

I believe the lane on Murry Street Mall is next to the Vodafone store at the east end of the mall.
There is a cafe on the other side.

1) Everything is better in Thailand ;)
Everything bar coke and bread, that is.

2) lawl, I get seaweed crumbs all over me as it is. Imagine trying to eat a big sheet of crunchy seaweed without making a mess.

What exactly is 'it'?

I went to The Chimney for dinner Tuesday night.

It was dead quiet - the waiter said they'd had two people come in for a meal the whole day 0_o really makes for an uncomfortable and unpleasant meal as you can tell he's trying to not be too intrusive but you feel watched the whole time.

The fitout is beautiful though. Service was nice enough. Food itself was a bit meh. I can't say I'd go back.

Entree:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/Miensie/SSC%20-%20Buildings/SSC%20-%20Food/chimney.jpg

Traditional lasagne:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/Miensie/SSC%20-%20Buildings/SSC%20-%20Food/chimney3.jpg

Petite pasta bourride with chicken, tomato, saffron and herbs:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/Miensie/SSC%20-%20Buildings/SSC%20-%20Food/chimney2.jpg

Tomato and ricotta orecchiette:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/Miensie/SSC%20-%20Buildings/SSC%20-%20Food/chimney4.jpg

Looks pretty average. Not very interesting at least. Value for money though?

$19 for the lasagne, $25 for the pasta bourride, $21 for the orecchiette.

I also had a side serve of buttered mixed vegetables for $8 which was yuck. Overcooked, bland and came out 5-10 minutes after my main came out.

I did love the bread and olives though. Those small olives they use are divine.

Not expensive by any means as the portions were pretty reasonable. Doesn't matter in my opinion. It was just meh. The orecchiette was also quite doughy.


Sanj, do you know how they do these olives? They're small and unpitted and are in this pepper/olive oil sauce. Sooo good. I ate both bowls. Can you just buy them from a supermarket or are they gourmet?

did they look similar to this? if so they are ligurian olives

http://www.qualitycentre.com.au/script/view_img.php?c=product_5&p=5&t=f

not all that easy to get actually but im not a huge fan of olives so never buy them. having said that i do enjoy the ligurian ones in a dish, eg galileo used them in their beef carpaccio

maybe try your gourmet and/or wog places like charlies, that deli next to princi's on fitzgerald, re store etc

pasta looks a bit thick and possibly undercooked to me

They were a light olive green colour and were longish and slender as opposed to a roundish shape. Kinda like the shape of a cat's eye. Wish I'd taken the photo of the entree better. Indiana do the exact same olive dish with bread, if that helps.

The Re Store probably do have them. They have piles of olives.

room temp or slightly warmed thru?

I accidentally stumbled onto this bread today.

It's some continental store (Shopping village -cnr Nollamara and Hillsborough drive)
The shop itself has nothing much of interest. I'd gone in to grab some water and noticed an interesting looking flat/lavash bread. Just packed in plastic bags with no print. I asked the chick behind the counter and she said it's Iraqy bread but didn't know where the bakery was. She said some bloke just drops it off every day. $1.50 for 2 LARGE pieces.
It looked very fresh so I grabbed a few. I can't stop eating the bastard. It's between mountain bread and turkish bread in terms of consistency. I think I'm gonna explode but can't stop.
If anyone happens to be in the neighbourhood I highly recommend it.

PS: It'll be brilliant slightly toasted with the above olives and some olive oil.

oooh nice one. thanks samby

if u like bread like that i recommend you check out turkish kitchen in east vic park, onlalbany hwy near the maccas. hevent been since they renovated but they cook all the breads in their woodfired oven- turksh bread, lebanese bread, iraqi bread and another one i cant remember now. they are the ppl who do the $3.50 lahmacun ive discussed previously

ah cool thanks. I will definitely check it out for the bread. My mum makes a mean lahmacun so I'll leave that to her (otherwise I'll get in trouble)

I want green mango and chilli. Had one on Monday and one last night and am currently experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

If I were in Thailand, I'd be able to wander down to the backyard, pluck them from the tree and eat it when/where I want.

Green mango and chilli :drool: someone take me back.

I finally got around to making my first curry entirely from scratch. Chilli, lime, lemon, corriander, ginger, garlic, tumeric, onion, cream, chicken. Big success if I say so myself :)

fark....$19 for lasagne? i cant believe i put up with that shit for 22 years of my life! i cant think of a meal ive had over $19 in sydney since ive been here....actually...i can think of one....my birthday dinner at Assiette

This is so lame, but, anyway - Little Willy's on William Street does a good breakfast burrito, but, at the moment, are closed on Saturdays.

Yes, I am not very helpful haha

Serious? I'll keep it in mind for a weekday then maybe.

I don't kn ow of anywhere that does breakfast burrito's. Other than HJs (sorta).

ive heard it's pretty good ryan. i tried to go about a month ago on a saturday, havent had a chance to go back and actually have it though

aubergine in freo also does a breakfast burrito, as does the dancing goat in swanbourne which is owned by the same people as little willys. havent been to either of then so cant comment

Thanks mate. I'll keep it in mind for sure. Can't believe they aren't open Saturdays.
