I need to know....

I've done that drive twice. We used to go to Smoky Bay.
It made the Hay Plain look like an interesting scenic drive.
My Mum came from out there somewhere, stopping to see a derelict farm she grew up on was the highlight.
Never again.
Do it as quickly as possible as the west coast is awesome.

Smokey Bay, Venus Bay and Moonlight Bay are all worth looking/fishing at.

I need to know if someone would start a thread on SA horse racing, it is a sport, and the unbelievable decisions of our State Govt to effectably drive most smart people out of our great state. Just askin.....over to you, or you could just tell me to stfu

There has been a little bit of discussion in the Gambling Room Thread

Cheers Brodlach, I’ll check it out. What’s happening currently is massive and I just thought a spread on it might get some views to push the point.

Just spent a week at smoky fishing over christmas. Bagged out on small snapper, got a few nannoguy, queen snapper, crayfish etc. Also caught my first tuna, ended up with our limit of 6 so caught four more for catch and release. That was all before lunch where we had a swim in the lagoon at Franklin island. Finished up getting a dozen whiting on the way back in.

And the Perlubie Beach horses races, spectacular.
Used to be able to get fist sized abalone in the rock pools too.

Also used to be some great nights at the Smoky Bay Roos club rooms but I think they merged or gave up many years ago.

An interesting idea...
It had never occurred to me because I have zero interest in horse racing - even though I did as a child get a ride on Comic Court only 2 years after he won the Melbourne Cup. (I did do show dressage training at one time though...)

Anyone here get their kicks from rolling polyhedral dice? I need some advice.

I have an 11yo who is keen to get into Dungeons and Dragons. However the size of the manuals in the starter set (which Santa brought, curse him) is daunting even for an adult. It might be best to learn by observation. Is there a teen-friendly D&D group operating anywhere? Failing that, is there a cut-down version of the rules designed for kids, or some simple exercises to help learn the mechanics of the game?

I have tried the local gaming shop but they weren't much help; they only deal in Warhammer, whatever that is.

A quick search found an "Adelaide D&D" Facebook group, get in there I'd suggest.

The Hospital Home Lottery have listed the same house as the last draw as the major prize.
Did the last winner sell it back to the foundation?

Why does a Bank Cheque take 3 days to clear? Wouldn’t think a Bank SA cheque would bounce

They can still have stops placed on them in case they are lost/stolen.

You can ask for a special clearance but it will cost you around $15.00

[Brodlach]

I wasnt really after the funds, I just thought a bank cheque would clear same day

Lots of (separate) mates lately been talking about how they share the cost of Foxtel (ie, 1 account holder rents additional boxes - Boxes then disseminated amongst the group and all pay an equal share of the total monthly bill).

Anyone here have "acquaintances" doing the same? Is it easy enough to get away with? (asking for a friend)

I'm not doing it at the moment but it's easy as, as long as you have a foxtel outlet in your wall.

One person gets multi room, the others use that persons extra boxes at their houses, untraceable.
