Universal Love TRTT Part 10: Ken Things I Hate About You

[Butters Made Me Do It]

The wheels on the bus go round 'n round lalalalala

Nothing better than a single malt in front of the fire with a cold front coming in..

Stuff the cities, who needs em

9 out of 10 come to Adelaide. Surely you're joking.

I'll pay that one Adelaide is notorious for getting skipped over. What shits me is when they'll go to Perth..

When I moved back from Melbourne to Adelaide three things I thought Melbourne did better.
Had a central football stadium.
Had shopping hours not stuck in the 1950's.
Had a better public transport network.

The first was fixed by Adelaide Oval. The last is still s**t here, I wish we'd expand the tram network throughout the suburbs. The middle drives me nuts. 11am before you can go shopping on a Sunday? Really, the City of Churches is just a name, most of us don't go to church these days. Even the ALP/Shop Unions 'If we open earlier/later everyone currently working at a small business will spontaneously combust!' line isn't enough to make Melbourne better over Adelaide though.

Sure it's nice enough to live there for a while when you're younger, just so you have lived in a bigger city, but even that it's easy enough to catch a flight or drive over for any show / convention / event that doesn't come here. And pulling 'a dad' any one looking to raise a family with a choice and staying in Melbourne has rocks in their head IMO.

They just need to boost bus services and more routes fck that ugly tram s**t everywhere you go

 

[Turiyasangitananda]

I like both

Based on my own failures.. jokes and winding up PAFC66 aside the melbs live scene is good but there's not much away from it you could say that about the aussie music scene in general you still have to kick down doors in Sydney at the end of the day.

Of course if you are happy eating two minute noodles every night and just in it for the love of gigging you might not care.

What are some of your own failures music wise?

 

[sobrave]

Yeah after all this I actually like malbun. Never lived there but been over for gigs and other stuff a ton of times. Good public transport, the CBD is still easy enough to walk around, lots to see and do, don't mind the bipolar weather..

Hate Sydney though.

66 likes..... the Jazz.

Can't stop laughing

66 showing his jazz knowledge off at parties

 

[PAFC66]

So now i have to not go to Melbourne for Melbourne to be good?

Melbourne is quite large. Our nightlife isn't isolated to just the city on hindley like Adelaide

Who needs public transport when I can easily drive everywhere

Does anyone still go out at night? I only go to drink beer or occasionally to a gig. Going 'out' is expensive and boring unless you're on the disco biscuits.

It's handy if ya pissed

Thinking about Revs reopening after this s**t is keeping my spirit alive

I love a bit of Future Sailors

You're a young fella, you should be going out. If I didn't study, work full time and have a garden I might be bored enough to go out to town.

Well I've always said the worst thing about our club is the fact it's based in Adelaide many here have as well. It's unfortunate, it holds us back, no wonder we looked into China to grow..but you get on with it.

Adelaide is Port Adelaide.

If we were a Melbourne club we could be another irrelevant powerhouse like Carlton or Richmond (bar last three years) sitting around wondering why we can't keep the glory years going since those damn interstate clubs came in.

There's the establishment, do nothing, entrench the status quo forever Adelaide, then there's the other Adelaide. The Adelaide that Port represents. Those who think we have some great things we can give to the country and the world. Let's put ourselves out there. The ones that see beyond the border and think 'why can't that be us?'. That's why we're the ones looking in to China.

To say the worst part about Port Adelaide is Adelaide, is to misunderstand what makes Port Port.

I stopped going out roughly around 22.

Odd one out.

Have older mates, married, kids, work, in to the 40s that still party every other week. Not me. I find lately I barely have enough in the tank to catch the late night Peep Show reruns one the ABC.

Nightlife only exists in Hindley Street wtf PAFC66 ? anywhere there's a pub, a party or a disused quarry qualifies in my book.

I'm not an Adelaide native and I've had a chipper time every time I've been there. Met loads of Port people from Adelaide who rock. How much difference is there between two Australian capital cities? It's a city with a bunch of suburbs surrounding it. It's got bars and pubs and clubs. Sport stadiums. Beaches. *in'. Who gives a *.
