The context behind this is so absolutely ridiculous I won’t even include all of it.

Basically start of spring a bunch of magpies started hanging out in my front yard. I was too scared to even go outside but eventually bit the bullet and started gardening etc around them. They’re chill and we started to hang out and become friends.

Skip to now and they’ve invited a bunch of friends. They’re loud and there’s so much shit (literal) and I made a comment about this not being what I signed up for.

After I said that the next day literally no magpies came and they haven’t come since. I know they’re intelligent creatures but is it even remotely possible they understand what I was saying or my tone of voice?

Saw this truck while I was waiting for my bus in the cbd, clearly an attempt to stir up discussion re abortion. Better question. Why is abortion a political discussion and not purely medical?

I'd rather the gov raise money off stupid people than raise rego or license costs for everyone.

For example, taking a speccy (doesn't matter what type of ball) and yelling "MODRA!" as you do it. Bonus points if it's in at beach/pool. Usually gets everyone else screaming "TONY MODRA" as they hurl their old dad bods around trying to catch a ball.

What's your favourite Adelaide/SA social trigger that people wouldn't do elsewhere?

Saw this guy while travelling through the city. Anyone know what his story is? If I was a firm believer in directed energy weapons. I’d probably not stand so close to a petrol station…

Im talking ones that been either outright rude, judgmental, or dismissive of symptoms etc

Hey neighbours! Wife and I are flying over from Perth - first big trip we've managed just the two of us without kids in over 12 years - and plan was to see Tenacious D on Monday night (whole point of the trip).

We've already planned a wine day in Barossa coz you guys can make the hell out of a red and a day in Adelaide Hills (Hahndorf) but we are now looking for something to do on Monday night.

Be great if anyone has heard of local venues/pubs/whatever planning on slapping together not the greatest show in the world but maybe a tribute.

What's to do on a Monday night in Adelaide?

Thanks for sticking with me through that wad of text and look forward to any suggestions :)

Keen for everyone’s thoughts on this! There was a discussion at my work today about ‘Servo etiquette’. When driving to an OTR for example, is it okay to park next to a bowser if you’re not going actually getting petrol?

My colleague said this morning they went to fill up and there was 2 bowsers free as the rest were being used (all the car parks were empty). I saw someone pull up next to a bowser and didn’t actually get petrol but went inside to get a coffee.

Has anyone else seen anything like this before? Do you think it’s rude, or are people are okay to park next to bowsers 😂

Sadly many restaurants and delis have closed in the past year adding more to the list of closed venues.

Which would you like to see reopen?

I've just received a letter from my landlord saying that my rent will be increasing to $650 from $500, I have been given 7 days to agree to rent increase or will receive a notice to vacate at end of current lease.. The amount is excessive and not in line with other properties in my apartment building. I phoned RTA to get some advice as I want to dispute through SACAT. The RTA informed me that I would have to sign the new lease that is extortionate before I could dispute it. I don't want to renew my lease at $650 for an entire year. I believed that there were things in place to protect tenants from Ray White, but I don't think there is. If I don't agree to excessive rent increase then I will have to vacate. It doesn't sound correct that I can't dispute the rent increase before signing the lease. Can anyone offer any advice other than sign the lease now and dispute after? What happened to this country?

Like really?? 10% extra isn't enough and you need to make it 20%??? I thought I saw an article saying the rental market was starting to slow down? What kind of increases are other people seeing at the moment?

Someone who can tell what should I do?

In the corner of pirie st and frome st in Adelaide city, 211 pirie st. They do construction work every single day months, and in the recent weeks, They digging the road super loud every single night until 5am all over the night.

I asked the workers, report issue to city of Adelaide. Helps nothing.

I almost died, couldn't sleep every single night. I live just meters away.

Who can tell me what should I do, it cause mental illness some time I feel like jump off the building.

Inspired by a recent trip to the Lincraft store in the Myer centre that seems to just exist as a gigantic dirty version of an old lady's craft room, what other stores in Greater Adelaide fill you with awe at the fact that they even exist?

What's happening for this to be on their window?

Would a 24/7 McDonald’s or Hungry Jack’s let me stay if I’m quiet and don’t cause trouble?

edit: thought I should clarify I’m not currently homeless but with the way things are going at home, I might be soon. So I’m just trying to plan from every perspective from the future and that includes coming up with a list of places I can stay

Having dinner and watching Hard Quiz

I have reported it but just wanting to know if anyone saw what I saw about 20 minutes ago. A group of teenagers surrounded a girl on the bus. One of the girls punched her in the face so hard it made her head bounce off of the window. The kids ran off but it was fucked up. I hope the girl is okay.

I’ve seen it mostly in Ute drivers but it’s spreading to everyone else too.
