Ok so now that I'm back in civilisation this is what I've found from my trip to the foot of the Blue Mountains:
- Excessive coarse language is normal
- People on the trains have conversations with other people without taking their eyes of their phones
- Whether you're catching the express train or not, it still takes fucking FOREVER to get away from Penrith
- A mother will say to her son "Don't swear or I'll fuck you up right here right now" without hearing her own irony
- Fat people think having tattoos makes them less of an eye sore
- If you think you're seeing too many pregnant women or single mums, relax, you're seeing too few
- "Food Court" doesn't quite cut it in Penrith, they refer to it as a "Food Terrace" - of course this makes the KFC, McDonalds and Pizza Hut Express all the more healthy
- It's acceptable (and likely encouraged) to stand on the right hand side of an escalator blocking fast walking people from overtaking you
- Fibro and Weatherboard Houses are standard
- "Bogan" is the official language of the area.
You should walk passed Penrith stadium on game day!
You will more than likely encounter an old guy who still thinks he is 18 scalping fraudulent tickets to panthers home games.
I told him it’s a waste of time because it’s very rare panthers sell out home games!
Panthers supporters are the biggest fair weather pricks you will meet!
I had a friend of mine, I would never hear from him, except for when the panthers beat the bulldogs.
It got to the point where he would call me and I’d answer saying “hey Rick, what’s up? Let me guess, the panthers beat the bulldogs yesterday didn’t they?”
I’ve never known a bulldogs supporter to call their friend out of the blue to gloat about beating their team?
