Yes her article was really a nothing article when you read it. Journos are like vultures, we know that.

Still doing this shit?

I notice that you didn't respond when dinger and I questioned it yesterday.

Must have missed what I was supposed to respond to, but I am entitled to my opinion. Have had personal experience of it.

If the club has been so tight lipped on the matter, what can we expect to be reported beforehand?

Read your post again and tell me where it contains an iota of sense.

Yet it is brilliant, only building the anticipation.

The fact that they are giving us coverage, even if its a nothing story, is golden.

I see where you are coming from. 'Golden' however only indicates the low media standards the Club has tolerated up until now.

We don't have to go cap in hand to the media any more. We have to demand the highest attainable performance from everything connected to the Club - from Hinkley, from the players, from the board, from the media... If we don't, we get what we deserve.

It was crap from Caro. I've emailed her and told her so. It's my day for waging war on the media. Tom Richardson at InDaily copped it this morning. I'm old. I'm impatient. I'm angry. I've been diagnosed with PTSD. So sue me.

Ooh, can I make another guess on Cryptic Clue #3? The vistors sign?

I'm gonna say that it's about visa requirements. Australia and China are going to sign a Visa facilitation agreement to enable Australian and Chinese Businesses to trade more freely. Australia will also be added to the list of countries that China doesn't require a Visa for if the visit is less than 15 days. Meaning that if the club, say, wanted to send an injured player for rehab to a new elite sports facility in Shanghai for a couple of weeks...they could.

As someone who has had letters published in a Phantom comic, Soccer International, The Advertiser and Readers' Wives I'm practically Hunter S Thompson and I approve of this outrage.

Maybe it's a high speed chunnel to Edithburgh so all our Yorke Peninsula friends can get to the night games easier.

Plus I can go fishing after work.

They wont be able to build on the parklands will they? The PPS, City council and media would throw a massive wobbly. Maybe they will buy up the Heaven site?

Is that the old Heaven that became HQ?

I've seen some good gigs at HQ/Heaven. Will be a shame to lose another venue.

No doubt the Pharmacy next door will close down...

It's interesting to note and maybe, I say, maybe, not lost on the Chinese, that the late Mick Young federal member for Port Adelaide and minister in Whitlams ministry had a keen fascination with China long before it was considered acceptable.to do so.

He spent some months there prior to Cultural Revolution and accompanied Gough Whitlam there as the first western leader to visit China (Before Nixon), he was most likely in that photo of Gough & Margaret somewhere that L.R. posted a few days ago.

Liked because you mention Phantom comic

Further to the above

It was Mick Young who as Federal Secretary of the ALP in 1971 put the idea to Gough Whitlam that he should cable the Chinese Premier Zhou En Lai proposing an Australian delegation.

Mick had been taken with Chinese culture on a visit there before the Cultural Revolution. He recognised that a visit by Whitlam was a huge but risky political opportunity and a turning point of obvious importance to Australia’s future.

Yeah that's it, but I take every high rise "approval" muted for the Adelaide CBD with a grain of salt these days.

I think you'll find almost all that have been suggested lately have been approved. Progress has certainly been made and far less is being halted.
