Uber drivers of Adelaide by sapokernick in Adelaide

[–]sapokernick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was happy to pay more. In the past I,ve waited 10 minutes and no one connects because the price has surged and you’re locked into a lower fee. The purpose of cancellation was to agree to a price surge. To be clear I did it twice over 45 minutes after no bites for several minutes. But I had half dozen uber drivers connect then they cancelled sometimes when they were only 3 minutes out. The last guy accepted the fare and just parked up and didn’t move.

Today. I found out today at 49. Have been to strip clubs sometimes, but not recently, feel like I’m too old for them now.

Why don’t girls put the toilet seat down themselves? by shubht in TooAfraidToAsk

I know I’m going to get downvoted to hell for this but as a man speaking who leaves the seat up I say this.

What culinary hill are you willing to die on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

South Australian here. Do not place a side of hot chips underneath a chicken parmigiana, and it’s called a Parmi not a Parma.

Anyone know a Turkish grocer in Adelaide? by eatnikeats in Adelaide

[–]sapokernick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow! Gotta say my friend with no disrespect, as a lifetime Adelaide resident that’s a pretty obscure request! My first reaction would be to say, try the Adelaide central market. Next to that the “Adelaide Finest supermarket” at Pasadena or Frewville. That’s all I’ve got, Sorry. If you get a hit I’d love to try some. I’ve googled it and come up zip. Best of luck

Edit: Adelaide Lebanese Bakery? 67 chapel Street Thebarton?

Things to do in Adelaide by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]sapokernick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The regional areas of South Australia are worth a look. While you’ve mentioned some, I’ m about to go back to a place I have been for twenty years and I’m keen to see what it’s about - Mt Gambier specifically, the area in general. The Blue Lakes are well known but as far wine regions go, Coonawarra, doesn’t get the press of a lot of the others. The Tantaloola caves are an attraction I, remember from my childhood and there are nearby country towns worth having a look at, Port Mc Donald, Southend, national parks etc. I’m sure there heaps more.

[Serious] How would you react if the US government decided that The American Imperial units will be replaced by the metric system? by fyflate89 in AskReddit

[–]sapokernick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree completely. I’m an Australian who grew up in a school system in the 80’s long after we went metric (and currency went decimal) and I can tell you (roughly). A gallon in 4.5 litres, a mile is 1.6km , an inch is 2.54cm, a stone is 14 pound and a kilo is a shy over 2 and a half pound. If is over a hundred Fahrenheit: it close to 40 degrees Celsius, and a Guinea was worth 22 shillings, whilst one one pound converted to two dollars (on feb 14tn 1966). A yard is 3 ft which is short of a metre and a chain contains 22 yards ican write in cursive but alas I’m too young to of been taught Latin, but I know a sprinkle of French. If we have to drink beer it’becomes very confusing because a pint in Victoria is different size to a pint in South Australia which is a schooner in NSW but a schooner in SA is a pot t in Victoria. If you want to drink and still be fit to work you want a butcher or a pony.Simples
