You know you're in Perth when....

[DreamTripper]

drinking outdoors on a warm Perth evening is much better!!

 

Very true, eating and drinking is even better!!

-You have to cross the road to continue using a pavement

-You finally feel at ease at the checkout having your bags packed for you

-having a sunshade on your back passenger widows makes getting out of a right hand junction on to the highway like a game of chance

-A half hour programme has 4 ad breaks, which sometimes flow seamlessly in to the programme itself

-you're now almost 99% sure that stone bottom pans are the best pans ever and cream made from jellyfish extract is the way foward

The flies somehow aim for your ear canel, buzz around and shoot off as fast as they came in,

 

The flies land in your eyelids,

 

The flies are eating your dinner befor you,

 

Fly spray does not work, you feel like holding lighter infront of your can of flyspray and burning the bastard flys

YKYIPW the umbrella is used for shade in summer rather than rain when walking.

You can leave a major concert on a Saturday night, walk back to your car, and be home 15 mins later.

A round of drinks costs a small fortune,

 

You have to stop at every McDonalds for a frozen 1 doller coke,

 

You start drinking beer in the morning because you think your still in holiday mode then your pissed by lunchtime and sleep the rest of the day and wonder where the day has gone,

YKYIPW grubby feet are the norm from November to April and sometimes you even have to wash them before you go to bed !

[Lou8670]

YKYIP when you can hear the crickets outside your bedroom window at night and it sounds like they're in the bed with you!

[Akasully2]

YKWYIP when you take your child to the docs because he has a strange rash and after examining him, the doc asks when was the last time he went to the beach and swam in the ocean. You wrack your brains and answer, three days ago. You ask if the rash is caused by contact with a sea creature and the doc replies, "No, it's just that he has sand in his ears".

[nikkiwd]

Lou maybe the crickets in your roof, we have that problem

[louisef]

You see the most impressive "Donut Skids" Ever ...

[Lou8670]

Awe, my OH said he'd let a bomb off in the roof but he's named it Shane so how can I do that to it now?!?

[portlaunay]

Not sure if this is just me but I've learned to look at what's biting me.

What I mean is that rather than just smacking my skin I'll take a look at whatever is sinking its proboscis or fangs into me. A mozzie gets a splat but I want to be able to identify the spider before I pass out

I'm glad it's continued as a light hearted thread. At one point I was worried and thought it would turn into a winging poms thread...but then again YKYIP haha!

[Lou8670]

YKYIP when you arrange to meet a complete stranger in a park, cafe or at the beach having only "spoken" to their pseudonym on Perth Poms. Something you would never dream of doing back in the UK

You are walking home from the supermarket, both your hands are full of heavy shopping bags, and a dam fly keeps buzzing round you landing directly in your ear, you end up walking down the road chucking your head from side to side looking like a complete fool.

 

You feel bad for spending the kids future saving just buying a single pint at the bar.

 

You check the prices of everything.

hahaha, the way you wrote it down, made me visualise it. Remember so many similar situations haha.

[FOL]

Mozzie coils, sticks, spray plus outdoor lighting! Works well for me and I get eaten alive. Nothing nicer than eating outdoors on a warm Perth evening

 

Spraying yourself you mean? And how does outdoor lighting help against mozzies?

 

Sorry for the questions, I gave up the battle against mozzies before this thread and just stay inside during the night

[LoopyLauren]

Made me smile this am!

[Lou8670]

Someone reminded me on FB this morning YKYIP when you find yourself listening to premature ejaculation adverts on the radio whilst driving the kids to school. [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

 

I still can't believe the ads they broadcast during the school run! Mine know all the words now...just like my cousins did in the 80's with the Milky Way advert..."The red car and the blue car had a race..."....but it NOT quite the same! I can never seem to turn the radio over or down quick enough [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]
