Re: Things that you rate!
Agree Boon, except I think a referendum is a terrible idea. It will only be a harmful process, just like the gay marriage plebiscite was, and justify a platform for racist viewpoints. You only need to read the vile racism on social media yesterday to see how harmful it will get. Politicians need to grow a set of balls and just make the decision rather than pass the buck via a referendum - they didn't need one to establish the 26th in 1994, they sure don't need one to move it now.Booney wrote:Ever year more people #changethedate, more people attend rallies, more people have the difficult conversations with friends ( I had one at the pub yesterday afternoon ) and more people understand the social change that must take place.Wedgie wrote:Both my kids attending the survival day rally in town today, so proud they're trying to help right an awful wrong in this country.

Re: Things that you rate!
While rating things, I used my travel voucher on the weekend, as I went to book a place they offered me a 2nd night half price, it was very enjoyable to have a mini getaway, pity about the weather though, I didn't get to do a lot of what I intended to though.
Walking down Rundle Mall on Monday during a heavy downpour there was some chick walking along with a tiny bikini asking people if they had a dollar so she could buy a towel, Adelaide didn't fail to deliver again, Monday night was going off in the city!

I booked the Sunday night and went from there, it's only not valid for Saturday nights.Booney wrote:How did you get a place to accept the voucher on a weekend?Lightning McQueen wrote:While rating things, I used my travel voucher on the weekend, as I went to book a place they offered me a 2nd night half price, it was very enjoyable to have a mini getaway, pity about the weather though, I didn't get to do a lot of what I intended to though.

They were still going to honour the same prices for Saturday & Sunday night as they did for the Sunday and Monday nights.
It was a gem of an apartment, done about 15-20 in Glenelg and the city but Millers apartments have been the best value for money one I've come across.

Re: Things that you rate!
I'm trying to book a Friday night in the city and it says there is no accommodation available with a voucher. Anyone else having this problem?

If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

Yep, I had a look too, can confirm, can you take a Monday off? Sunday's are pretty good in the city, a lazy afternoon sitting outside the Austral or go to the Richmond if you want a punt, good set up there for a bet.Bum Crack wrote:Not one joint is available on a Friday night and that's searching every venue on the listmighty_tiger_79 wrote:maybe too fussy on your venue?Booney wrote:Yep, I haven't been able to find a Friday or Saturday night anywhere.
