SLED

haha, yeah sending your $900 back was said tongue in cheek.....would make a nice headline though and a bit of a slap in the face to big Mike. He'd only put it yowards his next trip to the tropics or use it to further his push with the anti-association laws though.

you've got to remember that the average listening age of that station won't reflect true public sentiments

Rhys, he hasn't been given a warning or a holiday and hence his ad has not been deleted.....he didn't break any current rules. My suggestion was that 50 posts first may be more appropriate....this is not an uncommon rule in many forums. No more discussion in here, take it to PM or Wasteland.

A Poll is a good idea James but I doubt anyone on here will vote the bottom 2 selections.......if they do, they are in the wrong place. Shame we couldn't get this poll out to Joe Public and get a broader perspective.....oh well. Anyway, here's my 2 cents worth that I didn't feel was appropriate in Minh's thread. I personally believe (as per Andrew's post) a new drag strip at the very least is what's needed but even then, I don't think it will circumvent all hoon behaviour on the streets. Having said that, if a new drag strip was to save just 1 teenage life, it would be worth it!! Imagine for a moment if you could forsee the future and you spoke to the mother of that teenager 1 week before and told her that her son would live to a ripe old age if he had a drag strip to vent his right foot and you'll meet a mother that would be prepared to sell her house to fund that track. Unfortunately Tom Koustantonis (minister for road safety) has made a very clear statement today on talk back radio stating that if you think the state government is going to fund a track, to not hold your breath. The opposition (Stephen Wade) on the other hand have come out saying that a new track needs to expedited pronto. You want to send a very loud and very clear message to the government.....put your $900 in an envelope (when you get it), address it to Mike and ask him to put this in a high interest trust account to help fund a new track. Even if only 1000 people did this, it would hit the front page of the papers and highlight the absolute need out there. If I qualified I would do it........can I see some hands...........didn't think so.

OK, don't say I didn't warn you Thread Locked

you're all a bunch of old farts.......and Dave you're not far behind

yeah good find Steve & thanks James....believe it or not, I agreed with some of the posts that I was trying to keep out of Minh's "Rest In Peace" thread including the likes of Martin Donnon's response but as I said to a twat that kept PMing me till after midnight this morning.....that wasn't the place for it as it was a sensitive thread that family members were going to view........hence why I said that a new thread about tracks & Mr Rann's involvement could've been started.

how true Humbla.....my girl's in high school next year and it seems like yesterday that I was calling her fluff.......just quietly, I still do

ohhh I like Krishy....stop picking on him ya big bullies

Michael, if you're refering to the cruise thread, as I said, normally I don't close those threads down but after today with the amount of PM's that I've received to intervene when I was actually trying to stay out of things, I took what action I thought was necessary based on recent events......this will all die down soon no doubt, but for now I'm going to be anal.

guys please read post #127 AGAIN.......we're discussing tracks again which will no doubt lead to discussion of Mr Rann and possibly flamage towards the drivers again. burkill, you've already received a warning from Dan the Man for this sort of thing in the Hoon thread so I'm not the only one that's watching. This thread is about to be closed the way its headed unfortunately...........one more try.

lol, I've heard that before Steve....very recently actually

lol I wouldn't know how good the race was let alone how well my footy team played......I've been too busy baby sitting a thread all day and still responding back & forth to a certain member that didn't appreciate my warning and wants to continue arguing his point on principle........some peeps need to get a life. Did anyone tape the race by any chance?

I normally wouldn't be so anal about this but based on recent events this thread is gone. PM the author if you need to.

lol, you'll only see Anthony (Chuck) Norris these days after they punched each other's lights out in front of customers awhile ago.

yeah, I'd imagine the streets of Adelaide will be considerably quiet over the next few weeks due to recent events..... I'm sure it'll pass though.

ahhh, that would be Anthony Norris......good mate that worked with me at Adelaide Engine years ago

FYI, I've retained some of your posts by quoting them in mine and have deleted the original to avoid any further clutter. How's this for a new Mod, one more post from you in this thread and you get a holiday....don't make it a permanent one. I'm sending you a PM and an official warning.

well now you know sunshine so you've got no further excuses

Chris (dblstR), you're about to get a holiday.....READ POST 127 before you hit another keystroke!!

listen very carefully before you accuse me of over moderating and be very carefull what you post next......what part of this statement don't you understand.......refer back to the title of this thread and start your own thread if you must. I'm not interested in any well said or +1 crap inserted into other peoples politically or morally motivated posts in this particular thread........you've got no idea how many PM's I've had to deal with this arvo because of this thread. EDIT: and Rocky, you may think that you're helping but you're only aggrevating the situation mate

Quoting someone else's post to try and by-pass my post and reiterate your thoughts by proxy aint gonna cut it either, hence why your post was deleted Stewy.

OK, I've bitten my lip long enough and have tried very hard to stay out of this thread but unfortunately, too many of you just can't help yourselves. As much as there is some connection with all that's being posted, the point is, the title of this thread has been missused and abused.......we've somehow brought politics and dragstrips into the discussion and although there's some link there, it's not appropriate at this time.......feel free to start a Mike Rann/Dragstrip political style of thread if you so wish, but stay outta here. I've been speaking to a friend of the deceased via PM and have been informed that family members will be viewing this thread.....so a little respect please. As of this post, anymore of this banter will either see deletion or cause this thread to be locked (which I don't really want to do). The other alternative is that you'll feel me........and not in a peverted way either. I reckon I speak on behalf of all Mods & Admins when I say that our thoughts and prayers go out to all family members.

lol Steve, with everything that's been happening lately (and no doubt will get worse) I thank the son of rajab daily for my daily!

lol, you're due for a holiday Roo
