50 reasons NOT to move to Perth
Keet and Deanna have posted 50 reasons to move to Perth. So I feel it is only responsible to post a retort. So here is 50 reasons NOT to move to Perth:
- It is the most isolated capital city in the world.
- Because it's so isolated it takes ages to go anywhere else.
- The shops shut at 5.30pm. Some earlier.
- It is full of whinging poms (Brits) that complain about how bad life is in Perth but still won't leave.
- We're getting electricity real soon now.
- Everything costs more because of the extra transport costs.
- Stinking hot summers can last nine months.
- Water restrictions.
- Hole in the ozone layer.
- Melanomas.
- It takes five minutes to walk from one end to the other of Perth's night life district.
- Hardcore porn is illegal.
- Prostitution is illegal.
- No nightlife + no porn + no prostitution = boredom.
- Ripping your own CDs/DVDs is illegal.
- Recording/time-shifting television shows is illegal.
- ergo ipods and VCR/Tivos are illegal.
- no Tivo.
- IP laws are governed by US laws (under the Free Trade Agreement).
- 20,000 Singaporeans - okay that's actually not bad but fellatio is illegal in Singapore. It could happen here.
