I need to know....

[Psyber]

We have a resident Medical Doctor in the house don't we?
Cue Psyber.....

No, he's a love Dr.

And I can still slip things in without others noticing..

Does lower back pain - like just above the coccyx - indicate kidney disease? I've used painkillers for a couple of years on a regular basis for chronic headaches, and I mentioned to a mate the other day, 'I've done my back in somehow, it's been aching for two days straight' and she said 'It's probably your kidneys. They're probably all shrivelled up from your headache meds. You should go and get them checked out.' I can't get in to see my doctor, and I have sworn never to google a medical condition again.

Sounds a bit too low in the back to be kidney related.

LOL - You didn't want to Google it, so thought the resident medico's on SA Footy might be a better starting point.

I'd try a doctor.

Yeah, well I figured at least no one would suggest that I had a life-threatening illness. Google always brings up the absolute worst-case scenarios. Going to the doctor tomorrow.

That's what I thought, but my mate freaked me out with her talk of shrivelled kidneys. I will kick her next time I see her.

Not related to the book you been reading?

Book? Only one I can think of that might have the potential to cause injury is the Kama Sutra. I did once manage to sprain my neck royally as a direct consequence of that book.

Those bus lanes in the city, you are not allowed to drive in them right?

[dedja]

you're OK if you're driving a bus ...

Ya beat me to it dedja.

Seriously though, I believe they operate between 7am and 7pm weekdays and only buses, taxis, bicycles and emergency vehicles can use them.

correct weight fish ...

S***. I'm glad I found that out. Must remember not to drive in them in future.

[Squids]

OK, as I thought. Then can someone explain to me.

How are you meant to turn tight onto North Terrace / Botanic Terrace from East Terrace.

you probably need to drive there to see what I mean, but the way I see it, they have f***ed up.

[tipper]

you can drive in them for up to 100 metres to avoid an obstruction, go around a car turning right, or if you are about to turn yourself. in the case of the one on east terrace, cross through it to the right turn lane on the other side. you wont get booked unless you are driving for a fair distance in it.

to me it is retarded having them on east terrrace anyway, it is very difficult trying to thread through the busses to get to the other lane, and the busses i have seen arent too keen on letting cars through. i have seen cars get stuck having to go left.

That's what I was thinking. I just went in the right hand land (bus lane) at the traffic lights on the road before North Terrace, I wasn't the only car doing it.

[Squids]

Also I need to know what those sirens were around Thebarton / Henley Beach Road???

So do I. I can hear them from my house... Emergency evacuate now... Over and over. It stopped for about 10 mins but it's going again!

while i dont disagree with what you did, just be careful. in the first couple of weeks that the bus lanes were in operation i saw coppers stationed at that set of lights and they were chatting to cars that did that. it was just a friendly warning (i believe there is a grace period) but sooner or later they will start fining people.

It's stupid. So you have to be in the left lane and wait for the buses to pass. This is going to cause delays for people who want to turn left onto North Terrace. This quick fix isn't going to work.
