Well, not atrocious, it's just that they're as expensive as Jack Ruby without justifying it quite as well.
That's true, but they have this southern fried chicken served in a maple sauce that pretty much made me cry. I pay overs for that kind of shit.

They've become so preoccupied with trolling this board I don't even think they know what they're putting to print half the time these days.
Because no one buys the shitvertiser.

It's like the old saying " what do you call a angry bear with carrots in his ears"? anything he can't f)$king here you!"

This 100%. The Australian (paper) News Corps runs at a loss without worry as it gets them able to push whatever political or business point they want (and I don't have a problem with this, we're a capitalist society, if people don't like it run a competitor at your own cost, just don't ask the taxpayer to via the ABC).

The advertiser though is a shit paper aimed at a small state with minimal clout across the country. Getting David Pentherby and Tony Shepard's views on whatever was covered nationally two weeks earlier is not worth the money it's costing them. Even the deliberate having it go more trash paper stories isn't going to stop the slow decline to death. And I'll enjoy the funeral for the rag.

Burger Foundry and Fancy Burger are both on Magill Rd, so probably one of them.
Burger Foundary is the better of the two. However their shit service in the early days turned me off. I'd rather take a trip down to O'Connell Street to visit Chuck Wagon, that's where it's at.

Not posting a link, but Jesper posted his top 25 SA players today.

Not a terrible list but certainly could do with some reordering. Schulz and Westhoff are massively underrated.

The biggest clanger he makes is labeling #5 Shannon Hurn as a 2006 premiership player. A routine internet search shows this is not the case. How can people get paid to write professionally and make such basic errors?

One thing to take from the article is that we have the lion's share of the SA talent in the comp. certainly would make list management less risky.

Felchsted has once again shown that his football knowledge is reflective of someone who spent all of his formative years in Scandanavia, but what I took from it is that the "Team for All South Australians" contains Sweet
**** All South Australians. Whilst squeezing 2 in his top 25, 7 for us, also with Burgoyne, Patfull, Thomas, Enright and Thompson being a part of the Port Adelaide Football club at some stage. Team for All South Australians.... Pffft.

Thank the lord we never had to play a state of origin game with that squad.

Jacobs? some of those players you mentioned never even played for the Port Power so how can you claim them?

On a different level - here's another "reporter" going the troll...there's no other humour in this article so I assume he is serious. Why oh why did I pick up the Sunday Mail this morning?

"It is easy to talk about South Australia’s weaknesses – debt, budget deficit, manufacturing decline, declining national relevance and Port Power.

And it is just as easy to identify its strengths – climate, lifestyle, affordability, culture, wine, Coopers, Beerenberg, Adelaide Hills, the Flinders Ranges and the Adelaide Crows."

That is so ******* insulting. No wonder News Ltd is sinking without a trace.
