Hello,

I am looking to move to Vic Park or surrounds from Armadale. Does anyone recommend any particular relators? And also relators to stay away from? The more detail the better.

I saw "LJ Hooker Vic Park" and "Steven Davis Real Estate" have a lot of negative reviews on google. The positive reviews also have only 1 review per person, it is difficult to tell them apart.

I just want to rent a place for 12 months in a decent neighbourhood without having to be hassled by annoying agents that will do more for the owner than my family (like taking a long time to make repairs, trying to keep bond after leaving, etc.)

I liked the look of some places, but I don't want to sign up for a bad deal just because I am in a rush.

Thanks everyone

So yeah, just tried to start my car and its dead, dead as dead can be. No, i don't have RAC, yes I should have it. I'm boned here guys and if anyone would be kind enough to help a guy out it would be much appreciated

Premier's Annoucement:

--- IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING COMMUNITY CASE OF COVID-19 IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA, AND PERTH, PEEL AND SOUTH-WEST FIVE-DAY LOCKDOWN ---

This morning, I convened an urgent meeting of the Emergency Management Team.

We have a serious update to provide the WA community.

This morning we received news of a positive COVID-19 test result.

That positive result has come from a male hotel quarantine security guard, in his 20s.

The information we have is fast-evolving. As you can understand, immediately our teams moved into place to begin contact tracing and put in place emergency response systems.

This is all underway, and I ask everyone to be cooperative and understanding of what is going to take place.

Here is what we know about the male who tested positive:

He was working at one of the State’s hotel quarantine facilities – the Sheraton Four Points in the city. He had tested negative for COVID-19 on January Friday 15, January Sunday 17 and Saturday January 23 – as part of the weekly testing system in place. When the man was working at this hotel, there were four active cases of COVID-19. Of those four cases, we have at least three confirmed variant strains, two UK and one South African. We are told the guard was working on the same floor, as a positive UK variant case. The guard completed two 12-hours shifts on both the 26th and 27th of January. Exactly how the infection was acquired remains under investigation.

The Health Depart

I’ve been watching a radar for the past 3-4 weeks and noting where the police helicopter goes. I define this by 3 or more loops / paths over an area. ( The app shows the path it has taken) This is just what I have seen when I open the app and is likely missing many visits but still gives you a rough idea of some of our worst suburbs. I know it is the police helicopter because it takes off from Onehunga always and what other helicopter would be banking over a suburb 3+ times. I say 3+ times because I believe that is a fair indication weather they are doing a routine flyover or actually looking for someone. Reddit made the list quiet messy so apologies for that.

Pretty surprised Glen Innes didn’t show up, same with Avondale.

Reminder that the data isn’t entirely accurate as I obviously would’ve missed some but as mentioned gives you a rough idea of the bad suburbs.

The app is called RadarBox if you’re interested. Cheers.

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

A Dad.

That was the punchline

Without missing a beat he asks "Daddy, do you know how much room you need to grow Fungi like that?"

I did not know.

So he tells me "as Mushroom as possible!"

So proud.
