However, your post encourages an unwelcoming environment for women - who you might remember make up half of Adelaide's population. I am a woman and I am telling you this and please do not try to trivialise my reaction to your words by reaching for semantics.

This site needs a damn sight more women on it and you are not helping. I have laughed along with many of the broader jokes made on this board but tonight I am not laughing.

**edit** And Cruise? I just learnt what MILF means. Seriously, this site is being read by women and by people all over the world. This is not a good look for Adelaide. SensAd is not Skyscrapercity (I hope).

Oh come on your majesty, I was just having a joke. I don't go out of my way to offend anyone, it just seems to happen.

Hi Cruise,

I do believe you when you say you meant no offence.

And for my part, I don't want people to think they can't have a laugh. Really. I'm not usually sitting here reading, saying "We are not amused!" (that's the wrong queen anyway, I think).

It's just that right now, the balance of females on SensAd is delicate and I'd like to ask people to keep this in mind - as the more inclusive the site is, the more women are likely to join, imo. And, personally, I think that would be a good thing because women rock, and their ideas for Adelaide should be heard too.

And maybe with more women on the site, gender based issues could find their own balance? I don't know...it's tricky...

Right...I'm off to find the royal gin...

I think more women would mean a more equal balance.

Just like in real life you know when you talk to someone and then someone else shows up and you change your tune so you don't offend?

anyway goodluck finding the royal gin lol

Elderly motorist drives up O-Bahn to Klemzig
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/stor ... 01,00.html
AN elderly motorist has been taken to hospital after accidentally driving up the O-Bahn bus track.

The Mt Barker man, 82, was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital for observation after his late-model Mitsubishi sedan became stuck on the up-track near Klemzig.

Police said the man became disorientated on Hackney Rd and drove 1.3km up the O-Bahn track, forcing a bus travelling north to Greenwith to stop.

Passengers aboard the bus were transferred to another bus and continued their journey.

Police have closed the track until a crane can remove the car.

It looks like he's still on the track and would have made it. This is what he would have had to drive past:

If it was a 16 year old who did that ACA and TT would be running scare mongering campaigns highlighting they are accidents waiting to happen, But when its an eldery person, well we just seem turn the other way.

He's obviously an imbecile.

I have created a new blog; Two articles to be read. Hope you enjoy it!

Do you really think Australians are that stupid?

Will, most people understand why we are called the city of churches. And why is there anything that wrong with being called the city of churches? It is immature and naieve of you to suggest that we may be thought less of by other states / countries if this is our moniker. SA is also called the festival state and as far as I can tell we don't have that many more festivals than other states these days, but I don't see you getting all riled up about that label. You obviously have some personal insecurities to do with christianity, but it's not fair to suggest that we lose part of our history for it mate. Besides, I think its an apt name - out in greater adelaide, there is a church every few blocks, they're everywhere!

Please read my post again for I did not state that all Australians are stupid, but one cannot deny that there are a lot of people who do not know why we celebrate Australia Day. In fact there are even people out there who do not know why we celebrate Christmas. The reason why i am bringing these examples into the discussion is because if we have people out there who do not know why we celebrate such obvious days of national significance what hope do we have of the wider Australian public understanding an aspect of early SA history?

And no I do not have a problem with Christianity, in fact I am Christian myself. What I have a problem with is using the moniker 'City of Churches'. One cannot deny that we live in a materialistic world where organised religion is becoming increasingly irrelevant. As such I do not think it is positive for our city to be associated with this.

You ask why I do not have a problem with the moniker 'the festival state'. I do not have a problem with it because from a marketing point of view mention the word festival and the majority of people will associate it with fun and excitement. On the other hand mention the word church and what words come into your mind?

Noticed a bus on Grenfell Street this afternoon in peak hour with Sensational Adelaide on the desto board.

guys, that rooftop bar has reopened down Synaguoge Place just off Rundle St. I stumbled upon it tonight, went up for a look, and found out I knew the people running the bar. After chattin over a beer, they're also disappointed that the council wont give them a full time license. They're only open during the Fringe.
Please check it out caus its so cool, I felt like I was in Melbourne or Berlin. Its a couple of flights of stairs above the second hand bazaar place

Do you know the reason why they can't?

That would be a cool place to have in Adelaide, perfect place for a next S-A meet up

that sounds great - i'm going with the missus very soon!

Is Feburary 28th too soon to have the drinks? It's the last day of summer

I am beginning to believe Shuz has a drinking problem

I just simply cannot get enough of water! Such a nutrious, hydrating, refreshing beverage to be had.

If anyone has an alcoholic drinking problem around here, it's Omi. -points-
His posts have put a new meaning to incomprensible, undecipherable, strange and odd, lately. I suspect he's always under the influence. Would explain the pecurilary odd behaviour of his at K-Mart the other day...
