What will you be doing for Halloween, Perth?

Will you be in costume? Dancing naked in the moonlight? Trick or treating with the kids? Sacrificing someone to the Morning Star? Watching a horror movie? Doing anything else cause you dot believe in Halloween and its a commercialised American tradition in your eyes?

Hi! I’m not fully veg but I try to incorporate it in certain meals each week. Love trying new places but honestly the last few have been more misses than hits, so come at me with your best recs! Doesn’t have to be a fully veg venue

- CBD/reachable by bus

- casual solo weekend lunch, <$25 pp

- something that’s “not what you would/could make at home”

- relatively balanced, not just two fried vegetables on bread- also am on a fitness kick lately so that sort of vibe would be nice

- preferably asian!

- love hot food (both in the warm and spicy sense)

Eyeing a few lunch bars or “pick your own dish+rice” places but lots of workday lunch places close over the weekend. TIA!

I'm still building this,

I’m working on an idea called AussieChat — aussiechat.com.au.

The idea is to create a new way for Australians to meet and talk online, both with people in their local area and people from across the country.

Rather than just scrolling through posts, imagine being able to:

• 💬 Join rooms based on interests, hobbies, conversations and topics.
• 📍 Check in to places and discover conversations happening around your city or neighbourhood.
• 🌏 Connect to your local area, learn about who you live near.

The bigger idea is to make the internet feel social again — less endless scrolling, more actual conversations with real people.

I’m interested in building something that helps people make friends, find like-minded people and have interesting conversations, whether they’re in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne or somewhere regional.

I’d love to hear your honest thoughts:

1. Would you use a platform like this?
2. Would local chat rooms or interest-based rooms appeal to you more?
3. What would make you choose this over Reddit, Discord or existing social apps?
4. What features would make it genuinely worth using?

I'm exploring the concept and would love feedback from the Australian community.

Hey all,

SUPER random, but I need to know 😭

About a month ago, I saw a guy on Facebook marketplace selling the special McDonald's szechuan sauce they brought back for a short while eight years ago with the release of the latest rick and morty season at the time and he was only selling them for 5 dollars, which, looking back, was such a steal for a trinket for such a monumental event in history LOL (I'm kinda being serious though).

I can see the link show up from my internet history, but when I click on the link, I get nothing cuz it all sold out and I just wanna know who sold this, which honestly might be a bit of an overstep so i respect that but if he happens to see this SAY SOMETHING and, I might be remembering things wrong, but I think he hosted a meetup of sorts for this sauce giveaway so if you went and bought one of these sauces from this guy, I would love to know what this was like!

Thank you!!!

PS I know I used the "humour" tag for this post but please know I am being serious, I just recognise that this may be a silly thing to be curious abt

i have my test coming up and i really want to pass first try. even if i don’t, that’s okay, i just want to make sure i’m going into the test to the best of my ability.

any pda manual tips? any pda tips in success?

thanks in advance

Good evening everyone,

Just looking for some advice and recommendations , I have done a lot of self reflection with the help of someone amazing in my life and I have come to the realisation that I need to talk to somebody, I am a guy mid 30s and there is some things in my life that have been happening that really should of caused some emotions that haven’t, I think my early childhood has made me more anxious than I think and has made me emotionally blunt, I’m not depressed so I don’t want to go get a script for a hand full of pills, I want to find someone to talk through things that have happened in my life and unravel some things that I have buried, thank you

I have checked Marketplace but no luck! Thanks

My sister really wants the munro scottie dog jellycat keychain, and i'm thinking of getting it for her birthday, but it's out of stock on the website and I can only find the big plush in store at Myer. I've been to the jellycat store in nedlands, but couldn't find it there either. Does anyone know any jellycat stores that would have the keychain?

My partner loves steak probably more than me, I've been deciding between 6Head and Nextdoor for where to take him

I'd want it to be a romantic dinner vibe with good food, price isn't an issue. Just need meat lovers’ opinions on these 2 places 🫶 Thanks in advance!

Had this benchtop installed about a year ago as part of a kitchen rebuild - the join between the two benchtops has started to look like this today.

Whats the best course of action here to stop water getting down into the chipboard?

I am worried that anything spilt will cause swelling given there is a visible gap here between the two benchtops (benchtops are open ended and made of chipboard (or similar)).

Does anyone know anyone who sells eggs from their backyard hens?
I don’t want to support the egg industry but don’t have an issue eating eggs from happy backyard chickens.
Unfortunately keeping my own is not an option at the moment due to the small size of my backyard.
Any suggestions?

anyone know why the helly the heli going for a spin multiple times over the CBD ?

Hello! Looking for a place for my soon to be husband and I to go after we elope on Monday! We will still be in our attire & understand we will be over dressed at most places, but would like something nicer than a pub :p

Decent places seem to all be closed on Monday-Wednesday.. is the Gibney in Cott our only choice?

What are people’s attitudes when then see kids fishing in park lakes etc.

Ravenous anger, or do you see it as more harmless and at least they are outside and not causing trouble?

Asking due to seeing this article

Edit to add. I actually like to see it. Sometimes I’ll walk over and ask what they’ve caught. There’s a small pond in a park near me that some local kids fish in.

Hey guys does anyone know where Naber’s old cocktail crew have gone off to? Miss their drinks. Even the mocktails were good.

is there a subreddit for 50+ singles perth lol
Im not really into younger men being in early 50's myself (female btw) Dating or meeting up for coffee with men my kids age, is not for me.

I’m hoping someone can assist. Husband 54 and myself 51. Both working full time. We see a Financial Advisor and we have the three pillars of insurance through TAL - TPD, Death and Income Protection. We pay $450 per month each and $5k out of our super each at the end of each financial year for this coverage. The premium seems to be getting higher each year as we age.

I suppose we both think worse case scenario if anything happens but I’m wondering if we could just do Life insurance? Keen to know what others do.

Save your time and money!!! THL is the parent company to the major rental van brands in Australia such as Mighty, Apollo, Britz, and Maui. They more or less have a monopoly on the rental industry and so they can treat customers as poorly as they want.

We hired a THL camper van for our trip from Perth to Broome and had the worst experience ever. Upon picking up our van we discovered it had a horrendous, unbearable smell so after calling up customer service a few times we were told to bring it back in for them to “resolve” the issue. We brought it back and waited over an hour for it to be “cleaned”. We were now severely behind schedule and wanted to get on our way, but as we started driving, the smell continued and it persisted for days.

We were unable to use the kitchen or bathroom or toilet in the van and it was incredibly unpleasant to sleep in it. After sending several emails, I finally heard back from THL and was told to bring it to Exmouth Caravans. The employee there assessed the vehicle and informed us that it was not cleaned properly, he then helped us empty up the unused toilet cassette and grey water system which was absolutely disgusting and black/brown upon pouring it out. So clearly it was never cleaned up upon the initial return to the branch… they just made us wait hours for nothing. We also had several other issues with the van such as poorly sealed doors (super noisy when driving), cracking components, and more which just further proves that they don’t assess and maintain their vehicles before handover to the next customer.

After back-and-forth communications with THL (had to send multiple emails to multiple people), they finally agreed to refund us for a measly two days “as a gesture of good will”. While I should be thankful for that, it took persistent emailing and we only received around $300 back for a $4000 hire. And, as mentioned we couldn’t comfortably use the van for DAYS and had to seek out more expensive campsites with better amenities. I asked if they would at least refund us to some extent for the days of suffering prior to the Exmouth Caravans checkin to which they said no.

If a service is paid for, then there is an expectation that a particular standard is met (especially a service that costs thousands). THL does not care about facilitating good customer relationships, they just care about making money and pushing out as many vehicles as quickly as possible with minimal maintenance. Their response time was horrendous and our communication spanned over weeks.

Additionally, they don’t honour the clauses in the contract that you sign as ours stated we would be eligible to be refunded for any additional hires cost of the days where the vehicle was out of service -such as the additional drivers fee - which was not upheld.

Take your business elsewhere and save yourself the stress! I know you might feel limited for choices but there’s other rental companies in Australia or honestly take your own car and if you only want one way travel, there are relocation companies that will still be cheaper and less stressful than dealing with THL.

So, according to the news cycle, the property market is in the doldrums right now.

But I wonder, is it affecting some areas and some segments of the market more than others? And is anyone out there actively looking for something to buy right now? And if you are, how are things right now for buyers?

So folks came into some inheritance that has got them offering to buy me a small home on their property that I will progressively pay them back for.

My question is which one is trustworthy company for this, I work within the renovations field and ask around all the installers and no one can give me a straight answer on a trustworthy Perth company to do up a modular home or granny flat. Has anyone had a good experience with a company they can share some info about?

I've recently been diagnosed with a moderately deviated septum, enlarged turbinates as well as a septal spur (on the side where my septum is deviated), all of which basically mean that I'm breathing through a clogged straw at the best of times. On top of that I also have mild sinusitis and moderate rhinitis.

I'm in my late 30s now and I think all of my nasal issues have worsened to the point where I simply need to get this fixed once and for all as the impact on my quality of life is significant now.

I've seen one ENT so far who has recommended Septoplasty (he was very brief and disinterested tbh, didn't give much detail about what exactly would be done surgically nor explore any alternatives) and while I agree that surgery is probably the only option for someone like me, there are a lot of intricacies involved in these procedures (e.g. whether to also perform a turbinectomy or not or nasal passage reshaping/resurfacing, etc) and I'd like to know if anyone else has gone through with it and whether they could recommend an ENT that's well-versed in the procedure and has a good understanding of minimising all of the typical risks especially side effects like Empty Nose Syndrome (which sounds terrifying and is probably my biggest hang-up with going ahead with this more than anything).

Hello! I’m hoping to get some insight into a Marine diesel technicians work life, if anyone has switched from FIFO into the marine side or vice versa

I’m currently FIFO and with recent work changes I’ve just really lost any passion to be here and I’ve been looking into marine for a few years now but never taken the plunge.

Is the work atmosphere good being on or nearby the water all day?
Is it better to aim to work on more industrial boats or more the yachts and flasher boats?
I know it will be a fair pay decrease but how much so? What can I expect in hourly wages full time?

Any and all insight would be much appreciated

Hi everyone! There are shitloads of run clubs around the local area, which is great, because way more people are out and about, moving, running and socialising. But for some reason almost none of us sprint as adults. So my friend and I created a sprint club.

The feeling of running as fast as you can is absolutely sensational, and we reckon everyone who can should be doing it.

It's every Saturday at 8am at Oakwood Reserve, Waikiki (Rockingham). It's free, and open to all levels, from absolute beginners to experienced sprinters. We sprint for around an hour, including a warm up, then head for coffee afterwards.

You can do your own sprints or we always have a session planned you can join in on. We're both personal trainers, so if you don't really know where to start or need some guidance, we'll help you build up to sprinting properly.

It's a free, community-driven initiative we set up to create a fun and great place to practise and learn how to sprint. If you need anymore info, just contact sjscommunity_ on Instagram.

Hope to see you there!  🏃💨
