Going away?

I went to Phuket for two weeks and I highly recommend it to any single males ;) ... Seriously tho, it’s a great place with nice beaches, good day activities and no legal age to purchase alcohol.
 
I'm off to Melbourne in march for the F1s. I'm not a big racing fan but my uncle loves it and his mate is a race official so we get some cool backstage passes. With enough luck Port will reach the NAB cup final and play in Melbourne that weekend :)

Well Port didn't make the NAB GF unfortunately but I'm still looking forward to the F1s. I leave tomorrow morning and will be away until Monday night. Make sure to keep those crows supporters in check guys :p

Vroom vroom :)
 
Not going away but I am returning to Adelaide in April after a 3 year hiatus in Melbourne.

No more missing Port home games for me...:)

There is nowhere to rent! :eek:

Thanks mate :thumbsu:

Cant wait to be honest, love Melbourne but there’s nothing better than home.

Back into amateur footy too, although I will need to do my own private pre-season as I am dreadfully out of shape. :o
 
Just got back. Couldn't find a ****ing score in the newspaper or on the news for Port if my life depended on it and what made it worse was I forgot my phone charger so I've been in the dark. F1s were amazing. Took some snaps, might pop some up later.

Don't even get me started.

We got a letter about a month ago saying our lease wasn't being renewed because the owner wanted to do some major renovations, so we had 30 days to find a new place in this utterly $h!tful rental market.

Things turned out okay... except we're paying $85 a week more in rent, for a similarly sized (admittedly a fair bit nicer) place literally 150 metres from where we were. That's how much worse the market is than 3 years ago, anyway.

On the bright side, the internet connection finally transferred over today and I'm getting considerably faster ADSL2+ here so I'm happy now. :)

This is my view of the race on Sunday. We were close to a screen standing along pit straight so we got a pretty good view and I was able to jump the fence in no time and run down to the pits.

I heard somewhere that the occupancy rate is something like .5%. I know of families who can't afford to rent a 3 bedroom home in the sticks and are being forced to live in caravan parks.

I live in a pretty nice place in Melbourne, middle of the CBD, great views, real nice. I am paying $310 a week. To get the same in Adelaide will cost me a similar amount if not more. That was simply unheard of 5 years ago, prices in Adelaide could be as much as half that of Melbourne. Its getting out of hand.

If I had a couple of million handy I would knock something down in the CBD and build a nice big apartment block.

We're in a two bedroom cottage on Carrington St., near the Hutt St. corner. $350. Insane. Nice place, but insane.

Yeah, looking at the way the market is at the moment really makes you fantasise about becoming a landlord yourself.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome... I'm just a 20 second walk to, and a 40 second stagger back from, the magnificent General Havelock. :D

"Injury" ;)
 
That's the report, the Bucks are clearly tanking. Charlie V is "injured" too.

I also hope that thumbs up doesn't indicate you are pleased that someone could be physically hurt.
