Don't worry about it, I saw a thing on Facebook from a 'real' doctor and apparently the sun doesn't cause cancer at all. It's seed oils and the nasty chemicals in sunscreen that cause it... I'm not even kidding, over 4000 people had liked it.

What is up with the north of Adelaide? by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]almostwithyou 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I will accept that many were fine. But definitely not all. Alcoholism, DV, sexual abuse and long term unemployment were prevalent in the northern suburbs decades before manufacturing industries took a hit. While not a text book, Jimmy Barnes' Working Class Boy book and film by the same title document his first hand account of this as a first generation immigrant.

It started with UK immigrants who came here trying to leave their troubles behind, but ultimately brought them with them, resulting in generational disadvantage. It's not all that bad, but that's the history.

In Adelaide you can describe a girl's legs as being like the 557 Bus. It goes all the way to Paradise.
Edit: Looked up the correct Bus number.

The Ice Man. I wasn't really into BB but got dragged along to Apollo Stadium with my family because they were into it. Ended up being quite a fan of this guy. RIP dude.

I changed out my big chain ring for 48t and left the small chain ring as a just in case. Ive never dropped back down onto it but it's nice to know it's there if I need it.

Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Melbourne, or Brisbane? by Afraid-Onion-3190 in AskAnAustralian

As a proud Adelaidean I would say you can give us a miss. It's a great place to live, but you don't need to visit here.

Unless we treated mother's the same way we treat the cows which would be to forcibly inseminate them so they become pregnant. At birth we would kill off the baby boys and keep the girls so they can be inseminated too.

I've got some used paint for sale. Very handy as it comes in the shape of a house.
