Thought we’d try this place for late dinner , paid for direct delivery , driver turns up to the “restaurant” (which is actually someone’s house) , the driver is literally there for 25 minutes telling me “the restaurant is busy” …. After a further 15 minutes the driver starts to head towards me. When I get the food it firstly smelt not very pleasant and was COVERED in sauce . The whole situation seems very dodgy , I’d stay well away , wraps looked nothing like advertised… and I mean NOTHING . We didn’t even take one bite . Straight in the bin. Such a waste of time and money.

- this place is on uber eats

It's a signed portfolio with a set of prints that came with the Beata tickets on their 2018(?) Evening with Sigur Ros tour.

I've held on to it since then, but it's from a different time, and I need to pass it on to someone else.

I'll take it to work with me. Anyone who can pick it up from Barack St tomorrow around lunch, let me know. If there is more than one person, I'll let Excel pick a random one.

Just wanted to post a warning for anyone in Perth dealing with plumbing issues, because I just got completely stitched up and the whole thing felt insanely deceptive.

Had a water leak pop up at my place, so I called one of those Perth plumbing companies that heavily advertises "No Call Out Fee!" across their website and vans. Thought sweet, at least I won't get hit just for having someone step through the door to give me a repair quote.

Plumber turns up, spends 30 seconds looking at the pipe, and then drops the bombshell:

"It’s $265 for a 'Diagnostic Fee' to inspect it properly before we can give you a quote, but if you don't go ahead with the diagnosis, there’s a $125 Call Out Fee for us coming out."

So essentially:

1. If you pay the $265 "diagnosis fee", they claim there's no call-out fee.
2. If you refuse to pay their arbitrary diagnosis price, they hit you with a $125 call-out fee anyway.

It is literally a call-out fee under a different name. You are locked into paying them money the second they rock up to your driveway unless you sign off on whatever inflated quote they throw at you. Pure bait and switch marketing.

Has anyone else run into this with local tradies lately? Is this even compliant with ACCC / Consumer Protection WA rules regarding misleading advertising?

Would love recommendations for genuine, honest Perth plumbers who don't play these dodgy technicality games.

Here's the company Plumbdog

Hello! I'm not sure if they will ever see this, but on Saturday around 12pm I was on the train to Perth just listening to music and I look over and see these two men speeding through a Rubix cube, I have a family member on the spectrum and he loves solving them so I thought it would be good to learn it to play with him, so I approached (mind you, I've never spoken to anyone on the train before) and I was very nervous, so I just wanted to say thank you both for being so kind and teaching me without making me feel awkward about it

You made a lasting impact and I brought a Rubix cube for me to play with my younger family member also :)

Not long now until we have a new addition to the family. Was chasing on a bit of advice for the hospital.

Something you are glad you brought along (for mum or bub) and something that was a waste bringing along?

Feels like I've packed half the stuff in the house!

Hello! Just wondering has anyone recently had to change their name? And was it a challenging process social and legally??

Looking through the subreddit the last post about this was 4 years ago and the comments were facing struggles with some companies (st johns, Telstra, ATO, to name some) wouldn’t accept it unless they sent the form with lawyers approval ect? Is this still prevalent?

And would I have to pay for everything again, such as drivers license renewals, passports, etc ?

Hi all,

Im on the hunt for either a rooftop bar that does coffee during the day sort of thing, or just a good spot with a nice view?

I like to adventure in to study at a cafe or somewhere easy going. I've been enjoying The Hub in Elizabeth Quay. Just seeing what else is around and if there are any hidden gems 👌

Cheers.

So after a couple of failed attempts at starting my own book club I'm looking to join one that already exists!

I've found a lot of very generalist book clubs (like books in the brewery) but general fiction isn't really my vibe, looking more for a book club that reads scifi/scifi adjacent books. Anyone have any good leads?

Disclosure upfront: I'm involved with the retreat running this.

Dr Noel Nannup (Nyoongar Elder, OAM) leads a camping weekend at Yarragin Private Retreat in the Wheatbelt — campfire yarns, Dreamtime stories, Nyoongar astronomy, and guided cultural walks through granite country while the wildflowers are still around.

Family-friendly, and it's not just tents either, camper vans and caravans are fine too if that's more your thing.

Self-drive, self-catered, one night out under the stars. Numbers kept small on purpose.

Two dates:

Sept 12–13

Sept 19–20

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

The Burford Soap Factory Tunnel is a 96-meter underground tunnel built in 1905 in Fremantle, Western Australia. It once connected the W.H. Burford & Sons soap and candle works to Rocky Bay on the Swan River, serving both industrial water intake and waste disposal.

Burford's manufactured candles for the State's mining industry and produced soap and washing powder until 1959. Effluent was pumped through the tunnel in the cliff face into Rocky Bay, with such effect that the Bay became known as “Soapy Bay”.

After soap production ceased, the premises was used as a margarine factory, warehouse and sail loft, before conversion to multiple residences in 1981.

The tunnel is all that remains today.

All of a sudden they are at none of my usual haunts.

People of Perth….Please say it ain’t so

So this has happened to me twice now, once in the Perth CBD a couple weeks and just today at Uni. I was minding my own business and two people approached me, claiming they're doing a survey about culture and religion. (Mind you, I'm as white as a piece of paper). The first question both of them asked was about my culture and if I have travelled, and then they began asking about my religion (of course I'm not stupid enough to answer those questions).

Has anyone else had this experience? It was really weird and quite uncomfortable. They never spoke about a church or wrote any notes down, just asked questions....

I’ve lived in an apartment for 5 years. I’ve taken very good care of it and they’ve always thanked me for looking after the place during inspections.

I just moved out and had the carpets professionally cleaned and the house cleaned. I thought it looked great! Photos attached.

I just received the below end of lease inspection report from the real estate agent. Is this reasonable? Some I know for a fact was there on the in going report which i will tell them but it seems extensive?

This has helped me immensely.

Someone posted my now-expired licence back to my old address after they found it in a bag I had donated to op shop many years ago.

I’m too old for it to have been used as a fake ID, even though part of me hoped whoever found the licence could have used it for that. (Consider it ‘paying it forward’ for the years I enjoyed using a fake ID in my late teens).

Anyway, hopefully it wasn’t used for anything too nefarious lol!
