People pissing in the street - Should you confront?

So I was walking in O’Connell and I saw a bloke pissing in the street, as I was about to roll the stroller over his piss dripping towards the gutter. He was pissing in the middle of O’Connell near a restaurant so I told him he shouldn’t have been pissing there.

He became aggressive, child in stroller in tow. Saying how he plans to hit me, and I just walk away as it’s escalating while I’m with my wife and child.

What would you have done? This is maybe 9pm. I was tempted to continue, but a young guy, obviously half pissed, I just continued, and ignored his comments to get me back.

I was worried it would escalate but at the same time it’s so fucking frustrating so see people peeing in the middle of a path, it infuriated me.

What would you have done?

Why is it So Tough to Make Friends in Adelaide After 25?

My partner I are starting to wonder why making friends in Adelaide feels like climbing Mount Everest. We're both from a brown(Indian) ethnicity, fit, late 20s and perfectly normal-looking. Having moved here two years ago for work, we missed out on the golden age of university friend-making, and boy, are we feeling it now.

We've scoured through countless posts on this subreddit seeking advice, but nothing seems to quite click. We're not really into sports, nor do we have kids or pets—seems like the go-to ways to connect with people in this city.

We are even into swinger culture but with open-minded and respectful mindset couple. It's frustrating feeling like we're on the outskirts of the social circles we see around us.

Why is it so tough to forge friendships here post-25? Are there others out there feeling the same way? Is there a secret handshake or some hidden friend-making society we're missing out on?

Adelaide Shower-thought: Ned’s is Such an Oddly Named Store

It ain’t a bad shop, but the name doesn’t tell me anything about what the store sells. You want some reasonably priced homewares and gifts which are colour coded in-store, yeah go to Ned’s, but that’s only from experience. But like who is Ned? Why did Ned like homewares so much he opened a store? Was it Ned’s store? What is it that Ned is possessing?

But importantly:

🎶 What will you find at Ned’s today? What will you find at Ned’s? 🎶 Even the advert is asking the same question.

Old closed collectable shop in Elizabeth Shopping Centre

Bit of a long shot, but when I was a kid in the early 2000's I remember there being a collectable/ hobby store in the Elizabeth Shopping center that dealt in cards, toys, I believe tabletop gaming etc. It eventually closed and was replaced by an army surplus depo store, which then itself eventually shut down. Anyone happen to remember that stores name or its history? As a kid I just knew it as the cool store and loved going there when my parents were shopping.

Is Hickinbothom that bad?

Looking to build and just had a meeting with Hickinbothom. They seem like they are just as competitive as other builders. I know ppl have had bad experiences with them but wouldn't be the same with every other builder? Just looking for advice and if anyone else has experience building recently.

Renting with a pet Cockatiel

I have a pet cockatiel, and I need to move out fairly urgently. I was wondering if there is usually any exceptions when it comes to the NO PETS rule with birds, because I heard that there is nuance there.

Does anyone have advice?

How do you buy a house?

My partner and I have been looking at buying a house for the past few months, and it seems impossible. I’ve never had as much saved as I do now, yet I feel no closer to actually being able to buy a house.

We’ve put in offers for the top end of the asking price, and every time we either get a call from the agent to ask for a higher offer, or we don’t hear anything at all…

Is there something we are missing?

We have well over $100k of savings for a deposit and both have stable employment

Strata Neighbour

Recently moved into a duplex, strata title. Today we removed an overgrown shrub on the council verge (only up to our side of the fence). Now the neighbour has made a complaint demanding compensation. It seems he's the one that planted it a long time ago ? Just seeing if he's got a leg to stand on. The only shared property is the wall that divides the 2 houses. Cheers.

What do you do if a bird defecates on you?

A rainbow lorikeet just decided to make room for dinner on my white jumper. I was quite angry at the bird and gave it a good yelling to. When has it happened to you?

Police locate car thief near Liv Golf event

An alleged car thief was arrested at Seaton yesterday afternoon.

Just after 4pm on Friday 26 April, a woman returned home from walking her dog to see her car being stolen from her Clark Terrace address.

The offender had also broken into the home and stolen her car keys and wallet, which contained an AirTag.

The victim was able to track her car and provide police with updates on its location.

Numerous patrols in the area for the Liv Golf event assisted and the stolen Subaru Forester was spotted on Tapleys Hill Road just before 5pm.

PolAir was called in to assist and located the vehicle abandoned in Lark Avenue just a few minutes later.  Patrols were quickly on the scene and chased the suspect, who was jumping over fences in the area.

The 24-year-old Enfield man was arrested and charged with serious criminal trespass, illegal use, drive unlicensed, unlawful possession and theft.  He was refused police bail and will appear in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday.

The stolen car was able to be returned to its owner.

Is any cinema in Adelaide showing The Mummy (1999) for its 25th anniversary celebrations?

Haven’t seen it on the big screen since it came out and I’d love to take my kids! ETA yes I’ve googled it already, no the Palace isn’t doing it. The run should have started 26/4 if it’s the same as overseas anniversary season.

Are there any Adelaide groups that meet up to work on creative stuff? Drawing, comics, animation, videos etc.

I'm a visual artist and musician. I'm always working on this or that, but I'm really missing a bit of creative community in my life. I feel like I'm sure I'd have more fun working on stuff around or with other people. Anyone know of any regular meetups, or would like to start one?
