Stan 386 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 ...I see they have taken down the `NO Ball Games' sign. What are those strange green posts? ? decapitated elongated parking meters. How clean and pristine it looks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 386 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 ...and no leaves on the trees. How well I remember those freezing cold concrete houses,with condensation running down the walls.I suppose they all have central heating these days. With Adelaide reaching 35 degrees yesterday and 46 in the north of South Australia its not something I think of often. Luckily for the English team it will only be around 25/26 today or the heat alone would have defeated them. Hopefully the temp will stay down around 25. Wish I had a picture of the Adelaide ground to show you. It is the most picturesque in the world. Thanks for the photos ,Den,wonder if anyone from the old days still lives there. !tanning!

Stan 386 Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 ... I thought you `saw through a glass darkly' most of the time ,Den! I had quite forgotten about the metal windows. Talking of metal,do you remember the small metal boxes called `prefabs' which were meant to last 10 years just down the road? I noted they are all still standing 60 years later, many with fancy cladding on the exterior now ,and are now desirable dwellings due to their size and the large numbers of elderly people in the City?

Frank 13 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 `scuse my ignorance,what is panhandling? Spliffin? Twoc ing? Hi Stan It's an Americanism for a bloke walking round with his flies open, wedding tackle out and "excited" - if you know what I mean. I think it is supposed to relate to something like the handle on a saucepan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
