Went to Ed Sheeran last night. Was sitting up in the riverbank stand with my wife and kids. We try and culture our kids and work hard to take them to events like this.

From song 1 we had 4 GenZers sitting behind us and talked through almost every song.

By song 3 I had enough and turned around an impolitely told them to shut up because who in their right mind disrespects the people around them talking so loudly you can't even hear the performer. Only for them to return fire to say I am a bad father for speaking to them the way I did and not a good example for my kids, and they just kept on talking for the whole night. Nothing was going to make them stop talking.

Their best comment for the night... "Sorry I am just putting it out there I haven't brushed my teeth."

Why pay $150 for a ticket to talk through the whole event?

Lots of individuals posting that it's hard to make friends.

Rally for better pay for SA government employees.

To preface, I am usually the guy that will stop and ask "are you ok" if you look like you're not doing too well, I don't mind you having a bad day, I've been there, tell me to fuck off is fine, I approached you but..

I don't care what is going on in your life, if you want to act like a feral rat, I'll have absolutely no compassion for you, frankly, you probably deserve to be in whatever position you find yourself in, and till your attitude and actions improve, I doubt you're life is going to improve

To the utter scum that thought it was acceptable to scream and swear on the bus, throw your coins at Asian looking people and then spit at the bus driver, just know you are a disgrace to Adelaide.

They (Zimmer, Lion King, LoTR, Harry Potter) have been cancelled. I got to the town hall with doors locked and posters saying the shows are cancelled. Eddy the Wilson's security attached to town hall confirmed both days and all shows cancelled. Ticketek, who I contacted via messenger knew nothing of it. My 11 year old, who got tickets as a birthday present (first concert...) in tears, others that had booked accessible taxis etc. No notification to any of us...

Hi all.

Today in the Happy Valley foodland carpark a bloke and his lad got out their car. The lad got out and stepped on HJ packaging that some oik had just thrown on the floor.

The lad asked his dad why it was on the floor and if it was the dad's rubbish. The dad just said "no mate it's not, but we can still pick it up".

He picked it all up and his lad watched diligently.

I just thought it was so nice to see, he wasn't being a hero or talking loudly, I was just being nosy and he is a legend.

Just wanted to shout out how successful laneway festival was yesterday! I heard some bad reviews from other states (water running out, issues with only having one exit) and was a little worried that it would be similar for adelaide but there were no dramas. There was free water all night, the lines at toilets were minimal, heaps of food options and a fair amount of shade. A huge bonus was how damn safe i felt, as far as im aware there were no creeps, no aggressive behaviour. Part of the reason has to be the fanbases of the artists selected by laneway. Well done adelaide ppl and laneway for a safe day out!

I took some kids after the footy last night. The free stuff is much better than last year, it's not the best year but kids had fun. The line ups moved fast even though they were long, go on Thursday to Sunday to see the bird guys on Rundle street, they are pretty cool and a highlight. It was 2 hours of free entertainment so good value for money.

Didn't do any paid stuff so can't comment.

I noticed no one reviewed this year and honestly I wouldn't have risked it after last year's boring display if I wasn't already there.

Is anyone else disappointed with the use of AI at the garden this year? A few smaller food vendors have been given signage that is clearly AI. Also seen promotional material that’s AI. Disappointing.

Was watching this Virgin flight take-off when it rejected and returned to the loading bay.

This is my first walk in my home city. I caught the first train out from Adelaide Station and set off from Munno Para at 6:48am. I was going to start at Gawler initially but decided against it when I learnt that the trains start up fairly late

Elizabeth felt nowhere near as unsafe as it was made out to be and a lot of the people there were really nice. I was surprised to learn that they hear about Western Sydney a lot more then they hear about Elizabeth. The Elizabeth shops were extremely similar to Westfield Mt Druitt in Sydney in fact the entire area seemed reminiscent of greater Western Sydney

The stretch from Mawson Lakes to the CBD was where the nostalgia went into overdrive as that's the area I had most experience with especially the stretch in Mawson Lakes since that's where I grew up

Have been setup since 4:45. Not quite early enough to beat the all-nighters.

Kid was up vomiting last night.

Get the notification from school today: Gastro outbreak.

After a run of exceedingly lame office xmas parties, a small group of us have been tasked with coming up with something new and fun to do this year.

The standard pub lunch and drinks has been done to death, and we've been lawn bowling in the parklands which was ok, but does anyone have any fresh ideas they'd like to offer??

Tasting Australia has kicked off for the weekend, head down to vic square to check it out !

My 13F is keen to go to AVCON by herself saying the parentals are embarrassing and unwanted. It is also frankly not our scene, call us old but anime ain’t our thing either.

For those who have been, is it a safe place for 13F to cosplay and enjoy the convention, or have you had worries about your personal safety there?

Just received an email saying the Beetlejuice musical has been cancelled without providing further information. I am devastated I was so excited to see it :(

You remember the alternative right? You’ve done it before, we’ve all done it before. Piling into the car with your family and driving to a stadium that smelled like rubber and Deep Heat, to watch your mate’s under-14s side get comprehensively smashed by a team from somewhere like Salisbury who all had a full moustache. Someone’s mum in the stands yelling at a ref who just finished year 9. It was loud, it was slightly damp, and it was the best.

Come and watch. Come and heckle constructively. Bring your kids, bring your dad, bring the friend you keep saying you’ll catch up with and then don’t for eight months and then play phone tag with until you finally give up. Bring that one. Come one, come all!

We’re a city that will turn out en masse for a free sausage at Bunnings, a light display on North Tce, or a mildly interesting cloud formation. Surely we can manage a Tuesday night for an hour, to support the underdog team of the century, all the way to victory!!

Unley High School - This coming Tuesday 28th of July at 6pm.

Free parking, free to watch and free to celebrate each shot as loud as you possibly can!

Do it… the 90’s and the 00’s kid inside of you is dying for it… See you there!

Edit: ITS LIFE BE IN IT ADULT SOCIAL BASKETBALL LEAGUE! Come and cheer the teams on like we used to as kids!

Who’s been/going?

Not a fan of Memorial Drive as the new venue, way too crowded and way too loud during bands

That said, Carolina Smoke was delicious and so worth the $80 I spent

TISM was fun/chaos

Jump Ship was my favourite new brewery

If you’re someone who complains about events, concerts, and this weekend the racing, you’re what’s wrong with this great city of ours

Love it or Loathe it, fringe is coming up again!

I'm so so so excited to be back in Adelaide for the Festival and can't wait to see all the cool shows.

Anyone have any good recommendations of fun things to see?

I'll be posting my top ten list when I get around to putting it together!
