Anyone else have a bit of a crush on Dr Nicola Spurrier? Are women called silver foxes too? If so, she's a silver fox.

"That will be Professor Spurrier, young man" is what she would probably say to you

Probably off topic but can anyone give me an update on FUIC strong? Last year (I think) they changed the flavour to make it more strong and it ruined it for me. Is it still the new flavour or has it reverted back to what it use to be?

Change over to Fluerieu Milk. FUIC has been bought out by the CCP

Adelaide Oval.
Coopers.
Johnny Haysman.

Saw Johnny live in the flesh at the recent Cold Chisel concert, dancing in his speedos with a hula hoop. Didn't break stride for hours. Gotta keep him.

And if you are old enough to remember Chad playing in the early 2000s that is not saying much for the rest

Glad Johnny Haysman is still kicking on

Would be atleast 15 years since I've seen him cruising down the mall - His koala backpack in particular a highlight

He's 51 apparently. I thought he was older. He's a gentleman. My Mrs went up and had a chat with him.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Its like the dude on the mic outside the jewelers
The mrs and i used to see him when we went down there on weekends
20 years later....he still about

Niche question for Adelaideans:
I see a heap of cars in the Glenelg/Brighton area with bumper stickers that say "LewMac" with some dates underneath. They are yellow writing on a black background. With the dates they look like those memorials bogans have on the back window of their cars, but there are heaps of these around. Does anyone know what the story is?

I would say it's in relation to this.

Thanks. I think you're right.

Yeah, he still does the odd Mall job. I've even seen him at other suburban malls years ago down north.

The murder in Mclaren Vale this morning seems eerily similar to Phil Walsh and getting murdered by his son.

22 year old murders his 81 year old Grandpa and his Grandma is in a serious condition, already come out that he has mental health problems. ****ing sad.

Interesting one. In typical Adelaide fashion it was easy to know people who knew him. Sad stuff.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Me:
We'll go south rd way its pretty much done now and MNR has too many traffic lights so **** it
Mrs:
Sigh

Twenty mins later
Whose ****ing idea was this shit
All nice and new and wide and then it bottles necks into two lanes with campaigners trying to merge at the last min
Hurry the **** up and stop milking it...should be close to done now ffs

Wont be doing that again anytime soon this year

 

[Richard Cranium]

Yeah Mrs PoppedCorn and I took South Rd a few weeks ago and had the same experience. You should have listened to her.

I’m going that way most days currently and the Coopers corner will be a mess for a long time yet. Thankfully I go through there before 5am and after 7pm so traffic is quieter

 

[Richard Cranium]

Just saw that Bernie Vince is now on MMM with Andrew Jarman. I'm sure that's riveting radio.

It’s a bloody mess. Who knew having roads going in all different directions with minimal signage would cause people to get lost?! Getting to Adrian Brian Ford today was a nightmare

 

[radiojake]

you guys talking about Regency Rd & South Road?

what have they messed up about it?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Heap of road works there ATM, so I think it's down to one lane each way for about 100m before you get to/from the intersection.

 

[BACCS]

Nah it’s the South Road upgrade at Darlington. Absolute complete shit show and doesn’t appear to have an ending in sight.

Signage is minimal to non existent, plenty of people (like myself today) accidentally end up on the Southern Expressway and then can’t get off until Morphett Vale. The signage appears to state that you must remain in the left lanes to continue onto Darlington (traveling south), but then without warning the 2nd most left lane ends up being entry onto the Expressway and it’s way too late to quickly change lanes, especially in peak hour.

Adrian Brien Ford is iconic on the corner of South and Ayliffs Road, to even get there from the south now you have to complete about 3 u-turns unless you’re coming off the expressway.

They have included five different changes to the direction of traffic over a number of stages, of which we are in the final stage now. Most of the roads still haven’t had their final coats and it’s like driving through the outback. This has been going for at least 3-5 years now.
