What's the deal with the bloody Glenelg Tram? It's stop in Victoria square and you have to walk the rest of the way to Rundle Mall - which Nuff Nuff decided not to extend the track?

That's the guy they posted pics of before. The one who is really very rich and so does whatever he wants to.
Hahaha. Did the tram driver tell you that? I guess he/she got sick of having a clown on board.

Yeah it's true... I got really drunk, and woke up on the tram... some bastard had covered in Port Adelaide Gear.

The rainfall one was wrong.
Just to clarify that - here is my source.

I like how Adelaide is always a cheap shot from Melbournians, doesn't bother me too much, I love the city, take a small snap shot of a couple of people and generalise all you like.
When you think Footy, generally speaking is for the "common man" you tend to get some ferral supporters, doesn't matter what ground you are at. If we were watch Polo or Fencing, maybe it would be different. But if you can't handle the "ferralness" hirer security and stay in a plush corporate box.
As for the water it's is shit! Why do you htink that is? Perhaps because we are at the bottom end of a dieing river system where the states above us eg NSW & Vic would rather pump or hoard all the water instead of allowing it to flow through the river! Maybe if you don't like our water, you should have been pumping your premier with letters 2 years ago telling him to sign the 10 billion river murray agreement, instead of sitting on his hands. So really Melbourne is partially to blame for our crap water supply.
If it runs out be extra careful because you may have 1 million ferrals coming across the border being your neighbour, so it may be in your interest if your disdain is so high for us to get that river flowing and very quickly
Mate.. this is the funniest post I have ever read because everything you have said is 100% true.
From the Alice Springs to ferals... and the drinking water that tastes like sewerage. Could not have said it better myself. I remember the first time I went to Adelaide and asked where the centre of the city was.. I was told I was in it
Oh, no buildings over 5 stories. Been to Paris lately?
What is it about Melbournians and their need to put shit on every city in Aus. We don't give a f%ck what they think. And just for the record, Adelaide is a very pretty city, great architecture, beautiful beaches, pretty hills towns, and bugger all bumper to bumper traffic.
Was reading recently that approx. 4,000 people move out of Sth. Aus. every year, 2000 of those coming up to Sunny Qld. Seems to me there are sh1tloads more Vics leaving, so what 's the problem, with Vic/ Melb?
In all honesty, I love Melbourne.... Apart from its rubbish football teams and gay soccer team there isnt much to dislike about it, except. Where do you go to continue drinking after 5am on a school night? In Adelaide we have special pubs for people like me, but in Victoria I just get international taxi drivers who promise to take me to a pub, 30 bucks later they are shocked that it too is closed...
Look forward to it..
Don't forget to post some (un) happy snaps of your travel to lunatic park.
lol give us a spell, never heard about cars with SA numberplates regularly being keyed or tires slashed at Melbourne footy venues.
The city vs city stuff I couldn't give a shit about, home is where the heart is. But you seriously have some of the worst footy crowds I've ever seen, it isn't known as Moron Park for nothing.

Really ???
The ABS says this :
At June 2007 there were an estimated 3.81 million people residing in the Melbourne SD, an increase of 61,700 people or 1.6% since June 2006. Melbourne SD experienced the largest growth of all Australian capital city SDs for the year to June 2007

multiculturalism gone mad, you get the fish John West rejects!!
Otherwise (in all honesty) I quite like visiting Melbourne
Oh wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.
Remember South Australians, it's up the stream, not across the murray.

That's ok make light of an environmental and ecological disaster ready to happen.
The salinity will flow up the stream gradually killing all before it, making the river system useless to everyone along the way.
To many people like yourself apparently don't give a crap, but if we don't change our attitude it will be too late, we are not forcing the politicians to do anything either which means they can sit on their hands even longer.
So waa waa all you like, but as I said, if you don't like Adelaidians, the water issue will impact you when we are forced to flood the borders and try and avoid the shot to kill orders from your states police
Its kind of funny that Victorians believe that the rivalry is one sided between our states. And yet they come up with crap threads like this and then all jump on board to have a go...How many SA people would do the same thing?? And no it is not because Vic is better, it is because we dont care.
Kick a Vic is so 1980s, time for Victorians to stop living in the past??

Yeah when you benchmark you want to benchmark against the best. That's why we look to Sydney.
Exactly...
You have to let go... we STOLE your Grand Prix... and you ain't getting it back!
And we replaced it with a much better event, the clipsal 500 which makes money not costs money. How much does your govt pour into Eccelstones pocket to keep the Grand Parade.
And if it is not turned into a night event, you will lose it to some third world country that will do as Bernie says.

Nah mate. I've nearly finished my environmental studies. I know a bit about it.That's ok make light of an environmental and ecological disaster ready to happen.

And for starters, salinity generally flows down stream when you have irrigation.
From an environmentalist's point of view, it is already too late. There is no point in doing anything because it is beyond repair and Adelaide is hence stuffed. There is less value in saving Adelaide than there is in the other parts affected. That's the real reason why nothing has been done about it, and everyone knows it apart from SAins apparently. So Adelaide is pretty much cluster ____ed.
All this is pretty good at the same time the pride of your tourism market are taking more water for their grapes.
Kind of ironic that the worst state for water, WA, has seemingly the most plentiful supply.
Until Adelaideans vote for water recycling, there is absolutely no problem though qed.

So ... How do you compare against Sydney ?

Clipsal a better event than GP lol. Let me see Ford, Holden, ford Holden ford holden. How much worldwide exposure does the Clipsal get Adelaide? Not much I would say
And by the way in case you have not heard we just had it extended to 2015.

Don't you guys have a desal plant?
Don't start me on what we could be doing or should be, I am defientely no environmental engineer and just go by read articles and the like but the waste of storm water here is amazing.
We should have alot more wetlands to capture storm water. Water recycling keeps raising it's head and disappearing also.
To say the river murray is stuff is crazy to me, we should be fighting like hell (All Australians) to save it. If the river murray collapses it won't just hurt SA but NSW and Victoria will suffer from it.
Perhaps salinity goes down stream I don't know, but all the reports here state that as the river flows slow the salinity levels are rising as seas water is pushing up from the murray mouth.
So what is being found as they test from Goolwa (River & Sea meeting) salinity levels up stream near Tailem Bend at at it's highest and it's progressing further, which obviouls has impacts on drink water and local agriculutre and local environments surrounding the murray.

totally agree - just having a go at his view of the Grand Prix.
I still stand by my post 76 on this thread.
