So you've moved from the east to the city now? At least you're heading in the right direction.

If any from West Lakes area come to town, it will merely enhance the place and give Adelaide a better look.

Mind you, we will have to be more vigilant about eastsiders trying to break into our homes and steal our cars when we venture to town, so there are some negatives.
No I haven't moved, but it used to good going to the city knowing the idiots were in west lakes.

Why would we want to steal 20 year old commodore's?

If only you saw the looks of the neighbours after you ventured into my street that time in that car. I swear they thought you and your mate were robbing our house!

Anyway, I dont live in West lakes.......I'm on the better side of the lake, different postcode altogether. :wink:

It's not all about you you know, I never mentioned you living in west lakes.

Why would we have robbed your house? it was an Englishman and an irishman, not an australian.

Technically, goods payment is still outstanding, so my accountant will need a word soon (and a beer or two). 8)

It's ok in theory, spend at the ground then in the city

The main point is the stadium is used 12 months of the year now

Most of the money will be recouped in memberships and by a big ashes summer

No. You said (noting that the first time I quoted I deliberately removed you username)

In reality how many people will be going to the game and then think "Oh I must walk the kilometre into the city and back and go shopping/ have an overpriced beer/ have an overpriced meal"? They will come in their cars, park, watch the game, get in their cars, go home. End of.

But now.....it's changed

Uh? Mr Millwall, I was only havin' a gentle dig at your signature. If God exists he/she would be for all humans on the planet. After all, we all bleed red if we're cut - apart from a few hereditary blue-blood royals.

GIAE: "but you said he WAS an Englishman. I've met God and he even has the England badge as a tattoo"

Ha ha! I meant "was" as in past tense. I should have said "God-used-to-be-an-Englishman", as in some of my previous posts.

Nowadays if this deity exists he/she is for all humans.

So if he WAS English or USED TO BE English. When did this cease? When did he stop being English?

Cor blimey - these English language semantics! :lol: Can't quite put my finger on a date - I think it may have been after the chameleon-like God-figure changed from being Judean to Ancient Greek to Roman to maybe English or Mayan...

Anyhow ps, for transparency's sake - any chance of changing your sig. from GIAE to Millwall Lion Pom? (I use the term Pom as a term of endearment).

I hate the phrase POM so I certainly won't be using it.

When it can be proved to me that God isn't an Englishman then I will change it.

I repeat - like I said to the sensitive crew on CoastFM - I definitely use the word "Pom" as a term of endearment...

At least if it finishes early, we can have AU game on the big TV at pub. :|

Anyhow, back to topic 'bout the one-day disaster in the bane of the north (a.k.a. Brisbane).

Aw my Gawd (pardon the pun, GIAE). Wot a scoreline!

ps, I still reckon we ought to go for randomly multi-coloured seats at the 'new' half-a-$billion dollar Adel.Oval like the 'Gabba so the crowd appears on TV bigger than it is.

Starc and Doherty both make double figures and ensure it's not Australia's lowest ever ODI score.

you do wonder, with the way some of the wickets fell and some of the Aust. fielding was comical. Good way to make sure they have to play all 5 games.
And we all know that gambling in sport has no bearing whatsoever in the final score.
