the trouble with woolies is no matter how big their stores are there's so little choice of anything... they'll just use the extra space as in store warehouse This is why I don't really like shopping at Brickworks - it takes twice as long to get round and there's always stuff I can't get. For exampl...

No matter what the reasons for higher retail prices are, it's not because renewables are more expensive to install. They are cheaper and faster to deploy. The only coal plants being built worldwide are either by governments or guaranteed by taxpayers. The private sector won't touch them unless ther...

To be fair there are valid questions here - if prices are going up (which they generally have been markedly in recent years) then what's the cause? Is it directly related to a rise in wholesale prices? If so, what's cause of that? Global events, the transition to non-coal based fuels, something else...

Same mentality kept the level crossing in Croydon too. I dunno, I'm a Croydon resident and an infrastructure 'enthusiast' (if that's the right term) and I'm very glad the long overpass didn't go ahead. The design and contribution to the relatively historic street was poor to start off with and, giv...

Yeah, the Rundle Mall store is way too small. Results in a smaller range, and an unusually cramped experience.

I love Uniqlo but have only visited the CBD store once. The shopping experience was very cramped and frustrating and I'm in no particular rush to go back again.

Are you wondering about their committment to a city campus? I think there are many operational reasons that would explain a smaller start. For example, shifting building end dates likely would have been a challenge for timetabling so they've probably only moved the more straightforward courses now....

It could be right that a few courses originally slated to be held in the CBD have shifted campus, but once everything's up and running in the new building, they will likely be held there.

I'd heard that it was more than a few, but hopefully just teething problems.

I'm not sure how well initial demand is going for the new location - rumour has it a significant number of courses slated to be held in the CBD will no longer be based there, with enrolled students being advised they're being relocated back to either Bedford Park or Tonsley. Just what I've heard on ...

For what it's worth, I think fellow Sensational Adelaide members would want to know what happens when energy efficiency is done poorly. When you request a lift, the wait for one to even arrive can be a minute or more. The afternoon is the worst, when it stops at every floor on the way down, includi...

A few quick ones from today.

Seems to be running a bit behind schedule - the original plan was for completion in time for Term 1 2024.

Filling station tanks aren't typically particularly large or deep, whereas the tunnels will be at least 10m below ground level so I can't see there will be any risk of the two meeting.

Police horses are a waste of resources to being with. It would be better to do away with the mounted unit and buy more police cars.
