G'day peeps, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend or suggest a decent pub, in the SE of Perth, including good parmy, that also has pool tables?

Yes I know there been a post looming for this type of venue before but that was for N of the river. I'm one of those rare gropers that lives in the hills and mate I wanna catch up with is down Byford ways so looking for somewhere in between.

Thanks cobbas

Hi all

My gf has finally managed to secure a driving test later this month, only issue is its in Mirrabooka and we are from the Mundaring-Kalamumda areas. So it's not an area that we have much visited and not overly familiar with.

I'm wondering if anyone could share the places that the Mirrabooka DOT assessors like to venture for parking, routes they opt for the "left something behind" and all that. So we can go out and I can run her through some practice just so it's at least not entirely unfamiliar terrain.

It's been a long grinding process of trying to get a booking and she has done a good deal of proper lessons and such. She can get pretty locked in her head with overthrowing and anx

To be clear, I'm not being facetious or anything other than academically curious. It may be that I just have a badly skewed perspective aka anecdotal view but the ubers and such that I've encountered are almost exclusively of the foreign sort and from between Africa and SE Asia.

I wonder how that comes to be, why no other foreigners like Italians, Canadians, Kiwis, Japanese and so on. What makes this niche industry so appealing or so much more marketable towards a limited range of ethnic options? Is it just a Perth thing, or Aus thing or world wide?

So, I'm wondering did Dennis need to gain permissions from all the creators who's IPs he references in the books, for example did he ask Craig Alanson for permission to developed the 'Skippies" with the overt references to EF series as characters?

Or is there kinda open licence for fellow authors/creators on that if it's in some kind of good faith? Like how does this work?

Has there ever been a person or singular entity that is comparable to Holden in the key points of how "he was in the right place at the right time" so many times to significantly impact human history?

I can't think of anyone. Maybe Alexander the Great? But that's a bit simplistic I think
