Name another #Adelaide suburb that has inspired so many songs? 1. Meatloaf: "Paradise by the dashboard light." 2. Charlene: "I've been to Paradise." 3. Phil Collins: "Another day in Paradise." 4. John Farnham: "A touch of Paradise." 5. Guns N' Roses: "Paradise City"

@RedbackJim @TheFordFactor @ChuckBerry1969 JOFA helmets 100% ice hockey helmets but also popular for hurling and used to be used in women's lacrosse in SA

@TheFordFactor I didnt buy a @ChuckBerry1969 keeping helmet like that or eBay years ago. Spewing

Spotted this in an op-shop. Is it a Hockey mask or an early cricket helmet? Could've sworn Safraz wore something similar in the 83/4 test series against Australia. #Cricket

@hidenseke @PrisonBars2020 Challa Gardens I reckon

@PrisonBars2020 A guess is the Alberton Hotel, corner of Port Road and Sussex Street

Name the Pub! Hint: It’s a good one!

@SnapSendSolve I cannot speak for other states, but in South Australia, photographic evidence of a parking violation is not considered evidence for the purposes of a prosecution it needs to be inspected by an authorised officer (eg Council inspector) per the Act. #localgovsa

We didn’t realise the footpath was the new VIP parking lane. While we admire the park anywhere confidence, the local community might disagree. Does this drive you crazy, or do you let it slide? Tell us your thoughts 👇 #IllegalParking #StreetEtiquette #NeighborhoodWatch

@MayneReport Great tweet! In South Australia: lga.sa.gov.au/lgaprocurement There is no excuse in Local Government to be picked off one by one. There is nothing stopping Councils to group together to seek out a better deal. Our Council does group procurement for most big ticket items. #localgovsa

Tech One are making super profits from councils, partly because local govt rarely acts collectively to maximise their buying panel. This exchange today at the Tech One AGM may well be watched by a lot of council officers.

@bykemp @moni_vdh What about spears?

@moni_vdh I have trouble remembering how to spell his name. Every time I thinks Speers. As in nose beers. 👃🏽🍻

EXCLUSIVE: David Speirs to make election call in the coming days. skynews.com.au/australia-news…

Nothing on this list even comes close to dropping the great @dizzy259 in 2006 after decent bowling performances and a Test 200n.o. in the sub-continent. I am sure the selectors were, er, unwell. #cricket

@vinbrown @Matt_Pinner Looks like #Adelaide water

@Matt_Pinner Weak tea.

Settle a debate. What do you call this?

@bykemp @PatrickFConlon2 I've known this bloke for 7 years, and it took me 7 minutes to get the joke, because.... I'm pronouncing his given name correctly in my head: Shu-ren-der

At the very least the police should follow this bloke around when he’s door knocking. They might get lucky if he knocks a few crims. @PatrickFConlon2 #saparli #auspol26

@bykemp @SpencerHakimian Not quite. In as many Democrat states as they can.

@SpencerHakimian True only if Trump doesn’t postpone the elections. That’s what the stormtroopers are doing by provoking unrest (aka insurrection) in as many states as they can.

🚨BREAKING: DEMOCRAT ODDS OF WINNING THE HOUSE HIT ALL TIME HIGH

@kevinbonham He is also State President of One Nation.

Oh and what happened to this dude? Announced as an ON lead candidate then dumped to #2 to make way for ... Cory Bernardi! Is there a bigger insult? onenation.org.au/quaremba-sa-up…

It has turned out that Cory Bernardi is running for SA upper house not SA Senate. My deepest sympathies to my SA followers who if this comes to pass will be subjected to eight years more annoying than nails dragging down a blackboard.

@QBCCIntegrity @PMalinauskasMP PS dont trust AI, it is shit

This is electoral fraud. Well done @PMalinauskasMP Criminal.

@QBCCIntegrity @PMalinauskasMP STOP! The provision allowing non-citizens to vote in local government elections in SA was removed by legislation brought in by the Labor Govt last year. Can't happen any more, as of Jan 1st this year. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@Maggie_Perry6 Does she write scripts for The Simpson's?

Props to my mum for predicting this a few weeks ago haha

Former Liberal senator Cory Bernardi has joined One Nation, and been given 1st place on their SA upper house ticket (noting they already had a candidate who's been campaigning!) Given how One Nation is polling, Bernardi is essentially guaranteed a seat in the SA upper house

@CaseyBriggs There is one, here's proof. Please note this is NOT an endorsement! #saparli

Andrea Michaels has announced her retirement from SA parliament seven weeks before the election. Somewhat peculiarly, I am currently aware of *zero* candidates for her seat of Enfield abc.net.au/news/2026-01-3…

@SACAnews Onya Slowe!

Hear from Kensington Captain Sarah Lowe after the Browns’ dominant SACA Premier Cricket T20 Grand Final win over Adelaide. Kensington exploded out of the blocks, with Patterson (67 off 43) and fellow opener Eliza Doddridge (51) putting on a blistering 100 run stand to set the tone. Maddie Penna added late fireworks with a rapid 32, lifting the Browns to an imposing 5/165. With the title on the line, the Kensington attack went to work. Courtney Neale struck early, before Shae Daly tore through Adelaide with a brilliant 3/10 as wickets tumbled in quick succession. Adelaide were bundled out for 49, sealing a resounding 116 run victory. A comprehensive performance — and Kensington’s 5th Women’s T20 Cup in style. A historic day for the Kensington District Cricket Club, claiming both the Women’s and Men’s Premier Cricket T20 Cups.
