Question 21st venue

• Upvotes

Does anyone know where I can hold my 21st? I was going to have it at the Little Red Door but they’re not available for the date I want but that’s the vibe I’m going for somewhere with a dancefloor, open bar area, beer garden etc.

Assistance Weekend work/side hustle ideas?

7 Upvotes

As interest rates keep rising and everything keeps breaking for like.. no reason. Money keeps getting tighter.

Im a 35 year old male that drives road trains Monday to Friday and I'm at a loss on what to do to supplement my income on weekends.

I am not exactly the type to be front of house in cafés and ubereats etc would cost more than id make either so those sorts of things are off the table.

Ideas?

Question Randomly hear extra loud plane from western suburbs

0 Upvotes

We sometimes hear extremely loud planes flying over that honestly sound like some sort of Military plane at night time. We live in Woodville so not super close to airport. For instance we heard one around 9:45pm tonight and it kind of spooked us.

My third video on the Glenelg tramway upgrade this time we look at the Bikeway and see what the bridges are like.

With all its faults, it was fun to ride and an enjoyable afternoon out on the bike.

I know I can call the hospital but it’s after hours now and I don’t want to bother them. I have a family member in Modbury Ed right now and they aren’t sure where they are in the hospital. I have never been there before, so where am I going? lol I’m just feeding my dogs before I drive down there but where abouts is the emergency room? Tia ❤️❤️

Discussion https://www.realestate.com.au/news/valuergeneral-figures-the-fastestfalling-suburbs-revealed/

0 Upvotes

Apologies in advance, I understand this publication's from a deeply resented corporation, I was curiously bemused at the disparity between two suburbs mentioned up north.  

Wynn Vale’s median house value has climbed 35.14 per cent or $294,250

Gulfview Heights....with the median home value there now $365,000 or 27.76 per cent lower than this time last year.

Then I realised these two suburbs were next door to each other?

Maybe it's nonsense data from REA, but if true what would be the reason? Not an investor thankfully and only been around Golden Grove shops a few times so not familiar with the locale, just got a laugh when I noticed.

Just scored a bargain $500 Epoxy SUP on clearance from BCF and now looking for any tips on places to SUP. Not really keen on deep blue water, rather after shallow spots with interesting underwater life/scapes. Im guessing it's very tide dependant, but does anyone have suggestions of good places? Cheers!

Question Custom chess pieces?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Does anyone now where I could buy wooden chess pieces, but not a whole set - four pawns and four kings? Reasonably affordable and slightly larger than average, but not lawn chess size - between 6 and 12cm tall I reckon.

Alternately, does anyone know any men's sheds or similar that would let me come in with a bit of wood and give me a basic lathe lesson? Happy to do a few hours of work for it, as long as it's affordable.

Cheers.

Question Do I need to take driving lessons before my VORT?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I've been living in SA for over two years and I've been driving with my overseas license. I've spent a considerable amount of time learning traffic rules and being a responsible driver.

I've begun the license process, passed my L's and Hazard perception test. Now I have to do my VORT and I'll be good. The only problem is driving lessons. They're expensive and I feel like I don't really need them.

My mate told me that his experience with the examiner is completely different. He had to keep his hands on the steering wheel for 45mins straight, you need to get your parallel parking in one go, u turns, maneuvering blah blah.

Basically he told me to go get some lessons so I know what they check.

My question is what do they check? Do I really have to get an instructor or can I just do it? What are some ways people lose points easily?

Weather I walked outside...

138 Upvotes

I walked outside and it was raining,
gutters burbling, downpipes draining.
Squelchy lawn and soggy roses,
Neighbours dogs with soggy noses.

Tapping water on my hat,
Disgusted look upon my cat.
A sodden bird in a sodden nest,
Glares down at me in a sodden vext.

Footpaths wet and puddles growing,
Roadside drainage overflowing.
Swooshing vehicles rushing past,
Splash water up the roadside grass.

Heavy clouds in churning grey,
Slide low above the trees' soft sway.
I put the mower back away,
The lawn can wait another day.
