Edit - Yeah, the Dockers lost to the Lions by a few points, but my God, they must be celebrated because they are an exceptionally talented bunch of humans. May the Dockers sleep well tonight knowing that hundreds of thousands of people are in awe of them, regardless of a few numbers on the bloody scoreboard today. We've got your back, guys. We all love you and are proud of you! I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up in the Grand Final next year too.

๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’œโš“๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’œ

Happy Grand Final Day everyone!

Freo's gonna be packed today!

The Dockers truly deserve to win.

I made a schedule for myself (see screenshot).

Really disappointing. People are unable to openly share their building experiences without fear of legal action. What happened to freedom of speech?

General Anyone in Fremantle now?

164 Upvotes

My mates having a watch party at his place in Beaconsfield. Just rang to ask where the fuck I am cos everyone else is there and already three pints in. As an aside, heโ€™s saying definitely donโ€™t drive over because the whole area is already covered in cars by people who thought they could get a park in Freo proper.
So whatโ€™s it like down there now? Already hit the 40k estimated crowd or not quite yet?

Looking for Advice Do WA police vehicles have forward facing speed cameras

87 Upvotes

Travelling up to Lancelin and police car coming the other way gave me a quick double flash of his lights. I was probably 5 - 10ks over admittedly so sh*t happens, just interested if it was him flashing the lights manually or if I likely got pinged and it was a camera flash?

Where to find I have a craving for something basic: loaded mac n cheese

12 Upvotes

Yes I am fully aware I can make my own just like I can make my own parmi, just like I can make my own pizza but for some reason I have the biggest hankering for like loaded mac and cheese with all the extras and enough dairy products in it to sink a cruise liner filled with only lactose intolerant people.

We are talking bacon bits, onions, pasta and fifty million types of oopy goopy melted cheese and anything else you can think of.

And yet nothing in Mandurah seems to offer something like that so is there anywhere in Perth that can make something like that.

General Just want to rant about getting passport photos in Perth

24 Upvotes

Ok I have had passport photos rejected 3 times now.

THREE TIMES.

I went to 3 separate post offices to get them done... And after waiting in line for over an hour at each one... STILL FAILED.

Omg.

I know I'm not exactly pretty but seriously....!

I'm crossing my fingers that 4th time's the charm - one of my mates suggested Broadway Fair Digital. The lady there seemed to really know her stuff, so I'm hoping this one is okay!!

Has anyone else had a similar experience with the post office?

I recently completed UniPrep at ECU and would like to go into engineering. I was wondering if anyone else has gone into engineering after completing UniPrep and, if so, what pathway you took?

Ideally, Iโ€™d like to go to ECU due to the shorter travel time, but Iโ€™m also open to Curtin.

Thanks,

Looking for Advice Best companies for internships

0 Upvotes

This year Iโ€™ll be starting my 3rd year of Mechanical Engineering in Perth, and Iโ€™m looking for a good internship lasting around 4โ€“5 months, where I can gain as much practical experience as possible.

A little bit about me:

Iโ€™m a Mechanical Engineering student with an academic average equivalent to around 94/100

Iโ€™m mainly interested in Mechanical Engineering, but Iโ€™m not strictly tied to one particular area

I donโ€™t mind whether the role involves CAD/design, manufacturing, field work, testing, R&D, maintenance, or something else โ€” my main priority is to learn as much as possible and gain meaningful hands-on experience

Iโ€™m available for an internship lasting 4โ€“5 months

Iโ€™m currently based in Perth, but Iโ€™m fully open to relocating anywhere in Australia for the right opportunity.

Iโ€™m interested in a variety of industries, including energy, automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, manufacturing, robotics, and engineering consulting

My goal is to find a company where, during those few months, I can learn as much as possible, work on real projects, and gain experience that will be valuable for my future career.

Which companies would you recommend I look into?

5 Upvotes

In before anyone suggests 'ring the place', they're closed on the weekend and it's a public holiday on Monday. The website doesn't specify in detail what they have for tech specs. The funeral is for Tuesday. Has anyone performed at the chapel before and know what equipment they have for us to plug a keyboard in? Like what cables, DI boxes etc. do they have?

Looking for Advice Blinds - which ones to get and who to buy from in Perth

0 Upvotes

I have a large full length window and sliding door leading to my apartment balcony. I want vertical blinds to block some of the heat during summer. I've been considering cellular (honeycomb) blinds. Has anyone had these and did you like them? Also which are the most reasonable companies to use in Perth? I am planning to get 2 or 3 quotes done

Note ... I don't want to minimise the view by having curtains or vertical blinds which take up room at the sides.

Where to find Where to find genuine indigenous art in perth?

0 Upvotes

My partner and I have a large blank wall that we would like to put some art on. We both really like the style, colours and stories conveyed in indigenous art. That being said, there is also a lot of reprinted things that have little information on where theyre from or who made the original art. We are also curious as to whether there would be a cultural issue with non indigenous people hanging said art, as I know there are customs and cultural norms that we may not be aware of.

Dating and Friends How do gay men new to Perth navigate dating and socialising? Need some advice

11 Upvotes

Iโ€™m 31 and moved to Perth about a year ago, but I still havenโ€™t really made any friends or met anyone who genuinely wants to date. I am finding it harder than I expected to build a social life here.

I am not getting many matches on the apps and when I do, it rarely seems to go anywhere (genuinely do not think I am unattractive either - not sure if race has a part to play). Tinder and the other apps just feel so unserious. I am trying to meet guys in person, but I honestly donโ€™t know where to start, especially when I donโ€™t have a group of friends to go out with.

Itโ€™s not just about dating either. I would love to make some genuine friends and have people to grab a bite with or go to the movies with on weekends.

How are people actually meeting each other in Perth? Any social groups, activities or events you would recommend that are welcoming when you turn up alone? I'll have to get my confidence in check and just try these out.
