Pretty sure this is what 95% of the state is wondering as well. Really wish he'd come out and announce what they're planning to do.

Build a new airport at Monarto?

I'm not a great fan of Turnbull but who would people realistically prefer as PM (and why) rather than just slating him.

In before Hanson so we can copy America.. It seems we like copying everything America do.

Free wi-fi for the parklands (subject to council approval)

hahahaha, Was waiting for it..

Seriously though, if we've got that much money to build an airport we don't need, we've got enough to improve the SA Power infrastructure.

Because he's not planning anything. He's a useless tit with nothing up his sleeve. All bluff and bluster.

So he has something in common with most polli's then

My misses has had 9 power outs this financial year. Once you hit 10 you get a small reimbursement for your trouble. Since they came and did some work in her area to stabilise the power issues, she has had more. Wonderful work.

Honestly, if anybody watches that commercial of his and thinks "this man will fix this", rather than "I'd like to punch him in the face", I'd be very surprised.

The SA power infrastructure (generation and distribution) is privately owned thanks to John Olsen's Liberal government selling it in the 1990's. So short of giving tax payers' money to a private company to spend on their assets there is really nothing the state government can do.

inb4, but it was Labor's fault they had to sell it.

As long as I can wear shorts for 7-9 months of the year that's all I care about.

This is exactly what I say to people back home when they ask why I emigrated.

Ah, the state bank fiasco, still number 1 entry in the "SA Liberals childrens book of excuses"

Yeah, 7-9 months is about right. Shorts all year round would be a little boring. Need a bit of a winter wardrobe change-up.

Some guy on eBay clicks 'buy it now' on one of my shirts and then sends me a message haggling over postage.

"You have to do me a deal on postage".

Do I? I don't think so.

You have any old band shirts that you are selling?

Get a good deal on postage if you can.

Here's the deal, pay the postage or GTFO.

 

[Contested Marx]

in response to the questions raised over the last few pages
I would rather Turnbull as PM than any other leading candidate atm
I would rather Marshall than Weatherall
I would rather Lady Gaga than Metallica
and
I would rather Turnbull than Marshall in concert
I would rather Lady Gaga as PM than Turnbull

I'm selling the last of them now. All the best ones either fell apart with age or I stupidly gave away years ago.
Yesterday some guy in Japan bought a Descendents 'Milo Goes To College' shirt bought in '84 that was so thin it was see thru, and had all the print cracking. He paid $50 for it.

It's the attitude of "I'm doing you a favour by taking this off your hands, so you should return the favour by slashing the postage" that gets me.

 

[bomberclifford]

Yea it's like on the flip you get oldies who prefer to leave the AC off until they almost pass out lel

My 96yo Nanna is one of them. I keep telling her to crank up the bills, it's not like she's going to have to pay them.

 

[bomberclifford]

There may be some load shedding over the next couple of days, but that always happens a bit during hot spells.
I'm not going to defend Jay Wetherill here, but what exactly is Stephen Marshall going to do about power issues other than his usual bitching and moaning and making lame commercials where he sits with regular people and pretends he's "got this"?

Have had the displeasure of actually interacting with Stephen "Man O' The People" Marshall through a work project. A more self-absorbed, wank stain you could not meet. He actually thinks he's important.

Send me a link to your stuff please. I'd like to snoop around.

Wank stain is such a cool sledge.

They'll send the boys 'round to your place instead.
