Perth Zoo – Tricia 2


Perth Zoo - Tricia 2

The signs say she doesn’t stop for photo’s and that you shouldn’t touch her. However, I don’t think Tricia knows the rules. I was lucky enough to observe her stopping to say hello to these lucky folks. Possibly she was hoping that they had a snack, any how she spent quite a few minutes here before slowly moving off. A lovely moment.

Tricia, an Asian Elephant at Perth Zoo (November 2013), taking her daily constitutional. Apparently she turned 56 this year. It’s not often you can get up close and personal with an animal this size.

How Very Rude


Today was a good day. I will reveal all in a future post.

This post will concentrate on this evening.

We have just returned from a concert at the Astor Theatre, Mount Lawley, Perth where we have just seen Hot Chocolate perform.

This post is aimed directly to at a group of ignorant, rude and disrespectful folks seated in the middle of rows M and N of the stalls.

Hot Chocolates support act was a solo acoustic performer, Jason Ayers, a local Perth talent. He was really quite good, performing a number of his own compositions along with some more well-known songs. Unfortunately, we could not give him the attention he deserved due to the noise of the prats seated in Rows M and N.

To you, the rude, the ignorant, the disrespectful I say

  1. If you were not interested in the support act, why didn’t you stay out of the theatre until Hot Chocolate came on ?

    2. I call you rude because you inflicted your conversation on the rest of the audience, most of whom were actually interested in listening to Jason Ayres.

  2. I call you disrespectful because you couldn’t care less about your fellow audience members who had paid good money just to listen to your inane chatter.
  3. I call you disrespectful because there was a young man on stage who was trying to entertain and you didn’t give him a chance.
  4. I call you ignorant because you appear to be totally devoid of the basics of socializing in a public place.

I hope you are pleased that you have annoyed me enough to write this post. You probably view this as confirmation of your own self importance. Your rudeness was noted by several other members of the audience who commented to me and other members of our party.

You are yet another example of what is wrong with society today.
