Hello, new to the city and looking for bars that aren’t too raucous have some nice music but not too loud and soft lighting but light enough to see what I’m writing thank you!

For GA tickets, how early did you line up for a big concert and how close to the stage did that get you?

I got tickets to Bruno Mars in Perth, and wonder how early we'd need to line up to be decently close to the stage?

Thanks all!

So I have an upcoming appointment at Sir Charles Gardiner in Nedlands next month. However, my mother is quite focused on knowing my weight when they measure me at the appointment, which I am very uncomfortable with her knowing due to the fact that I am an adult, and she is a bit of an almond mom.

She says “don’t tell them not to tell you your weight, it is a red flag to them” (This is an appointment with a surgeon)

I am also on antidepressants, which stop me from easily losing weight, although I am a normal weight.

Is there any way that i can confidentially tell the clinic before the appointment to weigh me on my own without my mother (but make it seem like normal policy), and for them to not tell me my number, as it makes me very uncomfortable.

. I am an adult, so my mother has no reason to know my measurement

Anyone with any shitty job agency stories?

I am currently living on job seeker and sleeping in my car in the last month Ive had the worst time of my life became depressed and mostly been lazy in my car all day and night, scrolling Reddit being mean not feeling myself (sorry) the last 2 week's I've been up and down but I've picked myself up attended my job agency every morning and spent from 9-5 there constantly hassling my like consultant person about any position available.

I was successful in landing an interview at a cafe in Subiaco, earlier this week I was told I was successful and I can start this week, I went to my job agency with the good news they then rang the employer and asked them to confirm some stuff and they can proceed with helping me with a uniform and whatever else I need (that was his words) we finished things up and i signed some documents and was told to come back tomorrow and they will take me to a uniform shop, I go back the next day and my consultant was at another office unable to attend to me, the manager instructed me to attend a uniform shop and purchase what i need (this shop is 60kms from there office) with my own money and they will submit an application to reimburse me, I immediately informed her I cannot afford to do that and she was surprised and asked me when I get paid and I tell her, she goes out of the office for maybe 20 mins comes back smelling of smoke and says unfortunately they cannot buy the uniform outright themselves that I'll need to find a way to buy the stuff I need and they will reimburse me after submitting an application to a different team in the organisation (based in Canberra) I told her i can't do that and she apologised and told me to call Centrelink request an urgent payment and to tell them to call max employment to confirm and it'll definitely be approved I pulled my shit together from being on the verge of abusing this lady, I felt like ive been lied to or at least misled, I go to Centrelink who immediately tell me to get on a phone and call a number to get assessed for an urgent payment, I spend an hour on the phone to be flat out told an employment opportunity isn't an urgent payment reason so they instruct me to go back to my employment agency and basically force them to help me the person was actually really supportive and wanted to help, I go back and they dont help, i don't understand how if someone has the opportunity to get a fulltime job you wouldn't want to help them?

Isn't this the basis for these people existing?

I've lied to my potential employer twice now about having issues with my car and he's now given me till Monday to get my crap together, how can an employment agency claim to wanna help them not provide basic things to help me get to work and be safe performing my required tasks it's insane and seems like the government wants some people unemployed.

🏡 LEASE TAKEOVER – THE SWITCH PERTH | 555 Wellington Street

Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone to take over my current lease at The Switch Perth, located at 555 Wellington Street, Perth CBD. 💛

✨ Room Features:
• 🛏️ Private room with your own ensuite bathroom
• 👨 Male-occupied apartment
• 🌆 High-floor room with a great city view
• 📍 Super convenient location in Perth CBD
• 🛒 Coles grocery store right downstairs
• 🎬 Cinema at Raine Square nearby
• 🚶‍♀️ Walking distance to shops, restaurants, public transport and everything you need in the city

📅 Lease: Approximately 5 months remaining on my current lease, with the option to extend your stay directly with The Switch after the lease ends.

💰 Rent: $559/week

This is a really good price for a short-term stay at The Switch. If you were to book a short-term stay directly with The Switch, it can be around $580+/week, so this is a great opportunity to secure a room at a lower rate while only committing to the remaining 5 months.

🔑 How the lease takeover works:
You’ll first contact me if you’re interested. Once we’ve confirmed everything, I’ll contact The Switch and arrange for the lease to be transferred to you.

After the lease takeover is completed, you will deal directly with The Switch for your lease, payments, maintenance, and any other tenancy matters. You won’t need to go through me.

📩 If you’re interested, feel free to message me! I can provide more details, photos/videos of the room, and answer any questions about the lease takeover.

Serious enquiries only please 😊

I got pulled over in my girlfriends car around 11pm one night but I do not have a license/never held and i have a clean record. Obviously i was charged for this but im scared about telling my parents and how it will show up on my record. I am planning to plead guilty but I don't know what to do about the record. some advice would be helpful

I’m looking for a reliable air conditioning company to supply and install a replacement for our ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system, either a Daikin or a Mitsubishi Electric. I would like it to have an AirTouch 5 controller, and I would like a bypass duct included. If you have had positive experiences with any Perth a/c suppliers/installers who can do this please recommend! Thank you.

Hey perth

I just bought rear GA tickets for the Bruno mars Feb concert.

Has anyone had any issues with GA rear standing tickets at Optus stadium in terms of sound feedback and echoing ? Surly this isn’t an issue

My friend told me that apparently GA rare is bad but when I saw Coldplay we were GA rear too and we were fine..

Thankyou

HI all,

I'm looking to review all my insurances, and looking for a broker to hopefully get best deals... Have always done my own, but have heard its worthwhile to do a broker instead... Am unsure about the business model, when the accepted setup is that they all receive kickbacks, rather than pay for service. .... any recommendations???

That changed quick

I’ve never been to a show at RAC Arena before and doors open at 6:00. My partner and I plan to get dinner close by before hand and then catch the opening act at 6:45, what time should we start queueing to ensure we don’t miss the opening act? The next band is on at 7:45 and the headliner isn’t on until 9:00.

I’ve always lived in apartments with electric cooktops, so I’ve never really had to deal with a gas bill before.

I’m now moving into a house that is divided into two sections. I’ll be living in the 3-bedroom section, while someone else will be living in the separate 2-bedroom section. However, it looks like there is only one gas connection/meter for the whole property, so the gas bill will be shared.

Between the two portions, there will likely be around 6 people in total.

For people in Perth who use gas at home, roughly how much would you expect the monthly gas bill to be for around 6 people? Also, if there’s only one meter, what would be a fair way to split the bill between the two sections?

Thanks!

Can someone explain why Road Capital Programs are normally the biggest expenditures in the rates notices Budget Newsletter? Dont fuel tax and vehicle registrations fund roads upkeep and development?

To the person who was travelling on the Midland train line and forgot their diary and a single piece of paperwork(not sure what. Didn't read it). I have given the diary and paper to transperth at Midland station.

I’m a girl living in Perth, and I’ve always been too nervous to approach a random guy I find attractive in public.

I feel like it can be pretty hard to meet new people here outside of dating apps, so I’m curious about this from a guy’s perspective.

If a girl approached you at a bar, cafe, beach, shopping centre, or somewhere else in Perth, said hi and asked for your number/Instagram, how would you actually feel?

Would you still feel flattered if she wasn’t your type? Or would you feel awkward or uncomfortable?

And if you weren’t interested, how would you normally respond?

I think my biggest fear is approaching someone who isn’t interested and making the whole situation awkward 😂

If I want to meet guys in their early 20s, where in Perth would be a good place to meet them? Please help me.

A question to all - why do so few of you go see local bands? I'm not talking about those tribute fests. I mean original, home grown, local bands that create and perform music...

Short version of the story is I gave Muay Thai a proper shot a while ago but had to quit as the gym I had found didn't really cater for beginners and I can't find anywhere that does that suits my schedule. Which is too bad as I was kinda getting into it (when i normally hate all exercise with a burning passion).

I definitely do not room for a punching bag at home but was wondering if anyone knows of any gyms in/around inglewood/mt lawley/maylands that have a punching bag to practice on? I checked through the lobby at the gym at terry tyzack but seemed to be none there.

Leaving from Brunswick

Hello! Does anyone have any recommendations for Pilates studios that are more classic and offer mat classes that are slowwww, noticing that Pilates is getting more and more similar to HITT training as it gets more popular. Hoping to find a studio that offers slow and intentional movement mat preferred :)

Thank you!

Just announced they are making their return after 25+ years to where it all began.

Reddit isn't allowing links. So just check their Instagram: bluetileloungeband for tickets and info.

Just pretty much what the title says, need a good place to take my wife for a lunch date, good food and ambience, we can do Thai, Indian, Japanese and we’re vegetarian.

I’ve been to buffets in Crown, liked it. Looking for something similar! Thank you!

Anyone else just feel tired of everything?

Very poor performance from the Dockers

Hi r/Perth!

This is a bit of a random request, but I’m hoping someone might know where I could find an opportunity to bird-sit a small pet bird for around a week (or even a few days).

I live in a pet-free apartment, so I’m not currently able to have a bird of my own, but I’d absolutely love the chance to temporarily look after one and get some experience caring for them. I’d be happy to care for budgies, cockatiels/weiros, finches, lovebirds, etc. 🐦💕

I’m looking for something where I could have the bird with me and properly look after them for an agreed period — feeding, fresh water, and making sure they’re safe and comfortable.

I’m not after adopting or buy a bird at this stage. I’m specifically interested in temporary bird-sitting/babysitting, ideally for someone who is going away and needs a responsible person to care for their bird.

I’d also be very interested in hearing about any Perth businesses, rescues, bird clubs, Facebook groups, websites or other services that arrange bird-sitting/temporary fostering or might be able to point me in the right direction. I'd really like to host them so I can see what it's like looking after them.

If anyone has done something like this before, or knows a bird owner who might be looking for a sitter, I’d really appreciate any suggestions! 😊

Happy to answer questions about myself if that would make someone more comfortable,

Thankyou!!!!

Is it just me has anyone else noticed the rise in bars/cocktail bars in Perth using fully pre made cocktails/pre mix mixers in bottles. I get it they’re trying to make them fast. But how do you know the actual ratio of alcohol that’s been putting in these drinks.

Call me old-fashioned (pun intended) I like when they make a cocktail from the actual ingredients especially the classic cocktails and that’s what a cocktail should be. Hiding the alcohol and ratios just makes me not trust them when you’re spending $25 on a cocktail.

Not just there to get shitfaced but you want to know you’re getting what you paid for.
