Thumbs – October

How good are grandparents?

THUMBS UP

LIVE MUSIC Nothing beats the adrenaline and exhilaration of a pumping live performance, and it’s good to see locals investing in its resurgence.

HEALTH PROFESSIONALS Those precious mem- bers of society who are around to look after you when the shit really hits the fan.

KINGSFORD EATERIES Just about every cuisine you can imagine, within a couple of minutes’ drive from the beaches, and plenty of parking.

ALFY, BIG AHMED & LITTLE AHMED A big shout- out to the legends that deliver a semi-trailer load of Beasts to our garage each month.

GRANDPARENTS Making city living with kids a lot more manageable than it otherwise would be, especially when every childcare centre is full!


THUMBS DOWN

PLASTIC FACES We’re noticing a lot more of these hideous creatures infiltrating the beaches lately. Do us all a favour and stay in Double Bay.

DODGY PROPERTY DEVELOPERS Knocking up lemons to make a quick buck, then pissing off to leave the locals to deal with the fallout.

WIND Unless you’re a windmill, or trying to fly a kite, wind is easily the most annoying thing you’ll be required to deal with on a regular basis.

LOCAL MAILBOX NARKS To the argumentative idiots with too much time on their hands: if you don’t like the magazine, just put it in the bin.

DUMB U-TURNS You don’t need a town planning degree to know that there should be a roundabout at the corner of Macpherson and St Thomas Streets.
