Soooooo, how's this weather?

[Booney]

Looks like the gulf of SV is getting a nice drink...Adelaide might get a few sips if lucky.

A minor technicality.... but its "Gulf St Vincent" not "The Gulf of St Vincent"...

[Roxy the Rat Girl]

yea, all that water, wasted

Most of the Hills rainfall is caught in reservoirs to service the Adelaide's requirements.

But there is another perspective. There are some who would say that capture and storage of water is a waste, and a better use of it would be to allow all water to flow to its natural destination, thereby maintaining ecological integrity of the water resource and in turn ecological function and maintenance of a complete and complex suite of ecological services from which humans rely. This is very much a minority opinion that is at the far left of the political, social and scientific spectrum but one that is out there none the less. For the record, that is certainly not my view, unless of course we are taliking about Queensland who should release all water to it's downstream counterparts

[Bully]

Yeah, realease all of the water to the downstream parts of the country and have 5 million people die of thirst.

Yeah, much better result there

5 million people would indeed be a tragedy, 5 million Queenslanders - meh.

I've always called it St Vincent's Gulf. But then again I've always called Cockshell, COCKshell.

yeah, and im told queenslanders are selfish with the water that falls on the ground that we pay taxes on.
but no, south aussies aren't

[Roxy the Rat Girl]

Just a minor correction there Bully; you don't pay taxes on the water that falls on the ground, you pay for your use of the water from the tap, as do South Australians. The price that is charged is based upon the cost to get the water to your tap + profit as the water companies are generally private enterprises. Rainfall is not taxed. The water flowing down rivers and streams is not taxed. there is only a charge when people choose to extract that water to use either commercially or domestically.

do you actually believe what you post, if you do it could explain why Queenslanders left Jo in power so long

[Footy Chick]

Got word in today at work that Lake Eyre is officially dry as a nuns nasty.

Queensland flooded this year - the lake should be as full as a goog.

yes I do, do you for yours? I doubt it very much.

I am or was trying to be funny here, as a little humour goes down well.

Typical South Australians (yes I am one of them), has to be all about them.Im trying to have a sense of humour here Lighten up a bit !

[Roxy the Rat Girl]

Sorry, I missed the punch line.

[Bully]

There was no punch line to miss , I guess I have a dry humour
Call it fishing for a bite ...

[tipper]

dry humour? with all that rain you get? surely not

Apologies. I also didn't get the joke.
Problem is, you post so much dumb stuff it's hard to understand if it's actually a joke or a misguided thought which needs correction.
Silly, silly South Australians! Actually I've lived overseas for over 12 years but I'm very careful about lecturing my home town about what I think is right. A few years over the border or across an ocean, makes me no better than anyone else.

[Bully]

Dry humour - as in no rain I.e dry humour

But I am sure you will find another issue with this post, as you do with the rest of mine continually

all we would like is a portion of the deluges that happen annually in QLD to be diverted to us, to help the ailing wetlands & majestic River Red Gums.
