A hush draws upon the crowd as the master orator finishes puffing upon his exquisitely crafted glass, dons his good posting hat and strides out purposeful and bold towards the microphone. What gems shall his utterances hold, what pearls of wisdom can we glean from his insights borne of years of thoughtful introspection?

With every ear straining you could hear a pin drop; the air so thick with tension and meth smoke you can feel the electricity crackling up your spine. He draws close to the microphone, bathing in the suspense and rapturous love of his adoring public, and softly spake thus amidst the acrid fog still dispersing from his lungs:
"That thing you said about me? It actually applies to you!"

That was excellent. I like how you took the time to post it.

Thank you. :love:

Should I just consider Adelaide and SA in general to be bizarro world as Australia goes or what

I feel like everywhere else in Australia is like bizarro world Australia so I suppose you must be right. Despite being tremendously more bougie and cosmopolitan than Adelaide, the entire east coast strikes me as alarmingly backward.

It's amazing how anyone can watch those shows and not want to beat the complete poo poo out of the assholes doing it.

Every episode is some bumbling fuckhead that's never swung a hammer in their life paying shitloads of money they either didn't earn or fell rear end backwards into to have some ugly rear end architectural monolith built or some lovey old building completely sterilised of all charm and character but they won't stop banging on about the rich history of the place as they throw all the layers of lead paint and wall paper into the skip bin.

Then they act underwhelmed at the reveal like total cunts.

The maisonette we bought has a council protected character facade but was full of lead paint and asbestos so the work I'm planning on paying people to do is making this post hit me extremely hard. On the plus side we got it for a decentish price because the former owner's nephews had no interest in doing any work to get it ready for sale and was in a poo poo state.

However, the previous owner was an old greek lady who was obviously very proud of her gardens which are stuffed full of various flowers and fruit trees. I'll take some pictures next time I'm there and ask the thread for some advice.

Gladstone’s the loving worst because the founders were clearly braindead and chose to build the CBD right on the edge of the coast so it inevitably only had one direction the city could expand. This has resulted in the CBD being completely disjointed from the city’s actual population centre of mass, which sits well inland from it. As a result, everyone just sticks to suburban shopping villages and the like rather than the CBD actually representing the centre of the city and thus where people congregate. Because of this, no one ever goes into the CBD except out of some sort of time-honoured obligation that companies must be based there because it’s ‘the CBD’, so the whole place is empty and run-down.

It’s loving depressing staying there for work and trying to find places to eat of an evening. It feels absolutely destitute. You walk along dead streets, past endless empty shops that haven’t been given a lick of paint since they were built like 4 decades ago. No other regional town I’ve visited feels like that.

Townsville actually suffers from this a bit too, insofar as the Palmer St / Flinders St area goes, however it’s got the advantage of a much bigger population so it’s not as apparent. Larger cities sort of manage to get away with it a bit better I think.

The Cowboys Leagues club and The Ville both being in that area probably helps too, sad as that is to say, but their very existence is a function of the bigger populations well.
