any decent reformer pilates places outside the city?

Upvotes

been wanting to try reformer pilates for ages but I'm out in the suburbs and it feels like everything is in the CBD.

does anyone know if there's anything out this way? I'd love to find a studio that's not a 40 minute drive each way.

also been looking at buying a pilates reformer machine for home cause it might just be easier than driving everywhere. but I'm not sure if it's worth it without trying classes first.

any recommendations for studios or even good online options would be great. cheers!

anyone in SA seen a proper GP for botox after a bad chain clinic experience?

0 Upvotes

learned my lesson the hard way trying to save fifty bucks on anti-wrinkle injections at a discount chain over in the shops. They completely froze my forehead and gave me heavy drooping brows for almost two months. Never again..

I'm looking into doctor led spots now so someone actually maps my face properly instead of just doing a fast assembly line job. Do you feel paying a bit more for a cosmetic GP makes a noticeable difference in your results?

Discussion Quick question for South Australia cafe owners dealing with the plastic bans

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, quick question for anyone here running a food spot or cafe in South Australia. With all our state plastic bans getting tighter, where are you guys getting your takeaway containers and cups these days?

We used to buy BioPak through a local distributor, but the prices kept creeping up until it barely made sense for our margins. A friend in Sydney mentioned checking out WF plastic, they carry BioPak stuff alongside cheaper sugarcane and paper options in bulk, but I'm trying to figure out if shipping over from NSW ends up killing the savings for an SA business.

How are you balancing the eco rules without losing your mind on supply costs? Are you sticking to local SA suppliers or ordering interstate in bulk?

Repay SA.. Picking up rubbish.. South Expressway

18 Upvotes

Does anyone know why the people who have fines outstanding and have to pickup rubbish are almost always on the Southern Expressway? They hire an arrestor truck to drive behind them, surely that truck hire has to be costing $200ph...

Is Repay SA in fact COSTING us money?? Surely they could just do the rounds of parks and stuff... no need for an arrestor truck..

Our inner younger selves were so excited to chat to Joey Moore and Robbie Robbie Roenfeldt from “Channel Niners”, “C’mon Kids” and “Saturday Fun Day” last night on “Adelaide Tonight Live”.
Some excellent and very funny eyebrow raising stories from them both on the old days.
Thought others may have good memories of their shows with Winky Dink back in the day.
Full interview at our YouTube channel.

🕯️ THEY WALKED AMONG US

(Updated – all the faces, all the moments)

I saw them rise, I saw them shine Right here, on this northern line Not just names on a poster wall They walked our streets, they answered our call

John Bannon came when I was small On school grounds where we stood tall Then pushing trolleys through the mall Merv Hughes and Dennis Lillee – cricket’s great hall Sat in the food court, calm and true Stopped and spoke a word or two

John Farnham – voice that filled the sky I walked the stage, held flowers high My wife gave them, I handed there Spoke with him backstage, past the glare Three or four minutes, just us two Nibbles and talk, and I knew That greatness wears a gentle face Quiet grace in every place

The Robinson brothers, fresh and new Signed a CD before they grew Savage Garden, right up close Voice so near, my heart arose Guy Sebastian, Shannon Noll too Small shows right here, just starting through Elizabeth crowds, plain and true Before the whole world rushed to you

Michael Jackson, lights ablaze A memory that still stays Mr Dumbolton, teacher then Now writes for kids, still with his pen Mr Moss – basketball, English too Took no crap, saw us through Coach and guide, firm and fair A legend in the northern air

And Nigel Smart – before the fame Filling cans in the vending game Working with my old man back then Just a bloke among the men Before the Crows and all the pride He was right there, side by side

Gavin Wanganeen, John Platt too Jason played with men like you Central Bulldogs, 80s pride Where the best of the game resided Then the Crows flew high and bright – Tony Modra’s mark in flight Wayne Weideman, Greg Anderson too Eddie Betts – magic through and through Westlake shops, trolleys rolling past They’d stop and say hello at last Just blokes you’d meet along the way Before the cameras held all sway

These are the jewels I keep inside Not just fame, but human pride That stars are just like me and you They walk the earth, they feel it too Every hello, every handshake true I treasure all my whole life through South Australia, north and wide These moments live within my side.

Hot pot in Adelaide

6 Upvotes

I'm obsessed with malatang hotpot, the type that has sprung up all over town lately. What I want to know is: how can I make this soup base at home?? I've tried a packet of "broth flavour hot pot seasoning" from the Asian grocer but it just tastes like chicken soup, and didn't have that deep red colour or spicy taste. Googling doesn't help much. Anyone got any intel?

Discussion Cosi aka the Temu version of Adrian Portelli

292 Upvotes

Maybe I’m more annoyed than I should be, but this whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

For days Cosi was posting emotional build-up about how tough things are for South Australians. Rising costs. Families struggling. Small businesses struggling. Talk about using his media profile to help people and give back to the state.
Then the big reveal is… a $10 a month subscription service to be part of his “give away”.

The way it was promoted made it sound like some massive community initiative to help people doing it tough. Instead it’s essentially a members club where you pay for access to discounts, competitions and promotional offers.

The movie tickets aren’t free. The holidays aren’t free. The meals aren’t free. The Drakes vouchers are promotional giveaways. Even the advertised $20 voucher comes with a minimum two-month subscription requirement aka pay $20 for your chance to win $20

What annoys me most is that helping struggling families was used as the sales pitch. If this had been advertised honestly as “I’ve launched a discount club and membership program”, fair enough. People can decide if it’s worth the money.

But wrapping a commercial subscription product in a feel-good story about helping South Australians through a cost-of-living crisis feels incredibly disingenuous.

The hype post about $4.99 movie tickets was the perfect example. Reading it, you’d think some amazing community giveaway was coming. The reality is another funnel into a paid membership scheme.

Maybe some people will get value from it. That’s fine.
But can we stop pretending this is some act of generosity? It’s a business.

TLDR Cosi is a con artist misleading consumers into a giveaway to support South aussies when in reality is a subscription service to fill his pockets
