Paul1Perth Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I like the al fresco evenings. Surrounded by mozzie repellent devices! Worth it though to get to have a nice relaxed weekend Barbie, sitting out under the stars till stupid o clock just talking with a nice bottle Probably get more sense out of it than talking to the other half.:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Smelling other people's barbies too, love it :biggrin: One of the few times I've not enjoyed the smell is at the end of the City to Surf when you are coming in to the finish, you feel like throwing up and all you can smell is peoples BBQ's. Wears off pretty quick though and a beer sorts everything out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, in Perth is suppose it's worth it. Not like you can get a £25 return to Paris for the night. Sat in mosquito infestation staring at poor quality meat simmering on a BBQ is the highlight of the Perth summer what more could anyone want from life.

You really are a negative whinger aren't you! Get a life and stop commenting on people who are happy with theirs! It's not my fault you're such a miserable b#@!$%! Lol I don't use deet FWIW. Are mozzie coils carcinogenic in your experience? Edited August 2, 2013 by HappyHeart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I prefer Summer, spring and autumn are still good but I'm over winter after about the first week. Love the longer hours of sunshine, specially light early mornings. I'd far prefer longer evenings and a culture more tuned to more folk actually going out and enjoying the evenings. It would be nice to see folk going for walks, sitting outside cafes enjoying a beer and making the most of those barmy summer evenings.

VERYSTORMY Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 No, mozzies are not carcinogenic nor are coils. But, they are not recommended as a effective by any single research body. Lots of people say "I don't get bitten" actually the bite cycle is the same. Just some people do not react to bites. There is only a single thing recommended for mozzies which is DEET. And no, I am not miserable. Have a pretty good life. In Perth, as I have everywhere I have lived. But also think Perth is dull, stuck in the middle of nowhere and is best suited to those that have little regard to food, arts or any form of culture. If your idea of a perfect night is sat around a BBQ with a piece of crap produce being cremated chatting about AFL then I am sure it is heaven.

HappyHeart Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Why do you have to be such a bitch about it? Sneering down your nose and pouring scorn on other peoples idea of fun and lifestyle. I feel sorry for you.

HappyHeart Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Personally attacking another persons choice of area/lifestyle/food choices/leisure pursuits? Does it make you feel better about yourself? Belittling anyone elses experience is what mean spirited people do in order to justify their own sad little existence. Carry on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see all the things you mention, just take a walk along West Coast Highway, Subi, Leederville, Hillary's, in fact there are far too many places to list where you would see that behaviour. That's at this time of year too, don't even have to wait for a summer that might come around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a couple of times and you can't walk down it in a minute. If you did you didn't see it all. Let's face it mate you've got a downer on Perth and anything to do with it. You picked one place I mentioned and like I said there are far too many to list that you would see people enjoying themselves at all times of the year.

Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Erm have you thought about staying indoors ??? We sat out every night for a month, in our shorts and T shirts in January and neither of us got bit once, I think there's a bit of exaggeration, sorry I mean ...... A lot, lol.

I might be wrong, but aren't you spending work time in Africa? From my memory of living in Zambia and Kenya and having returned there a couple of times recently Including A couple of other African countries there are a fair few nasty things flying around there and many carrying more diseases than our local mozzies here. I am now in tropical Queensland, and don't know how bad Perth is in comparison, and I certainly don't need to cover myself in deet, and didn't for the 9 years I lived in Borneo, I'm sorry to hear that Perth is so bad.

Never heard of Deet ... must be missing something - sorry to hear you have to cover yourself in the stuff if it's carcinogenic, wouldn't use it personally.
