Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[Gary Gutful]

Difficult for the Gold Coast to become a ghetto when it already is one.

Who would have thought you can get money from cables?

Demolish it before the government changes their minds!!!!

Great article on the risks of overdevelopment in the herald today, my favourite quote:

"We should at least quit pretending. The real result of government red-tape snipping is a vast slew of potential future slums. Far too often shoddy, infuriating, ugly and dangerous, they're the very opposite of sustainable density; designed to enrich developers and lawyers for decades while diminishing both the private amenity and public pleasure of this lovely, impossible city."

Loads of references to "future slum" areas of Sydney with massive apartment blocks in the comments too....

Phantom has been scanning the property section of smh every day for the last 12 months waiting for something like that.

I reckon a little pee came out when he saw it.

 

[phantom eel]

True... and I call it the little pee of righteous acknowledgement!

At least it's put a bit of balance back into the thread, where some people went on tangents about how "booming" Parramatta would be, and what a great thing building loads of residential skycrapers must automatically be.

Tear that mutha f**ker down

Well done Channel 9.
It didn't start today.
Anyway, it doesn't hurt not to tell the truth to make a story real.

Perhaps you should write a letter (or tweet) of complaint...?

so who is buying a brick ?

Hey Bart, we all get that you don't like Suity, but do you seriously need to make some level of derisive comment to every post he makes? You may think you are cool doing so, but in reality it shows you up as a bit of a tosser (and yes, I know we can all "ignore" your posts).

I for one don't see what you get out of it except some perverse and childish pleasure perhaps.

I was going to post a similar comment to Suity's re: the fact the demo had already started - would you have suggested I write or tweet a complaint?

TBH Bart and Suity fuel each others fires.

Sure and when I see Suity do the same, I will comment.

Sure you willl... it's pretty easy to pick sides and be blind to the other.

You seem to mistake me for someone who cares what someone else's persona on the internet thinks about my persona on the internet....

Probably, if it had occured to me at the time. Would you have been as offended in that situation, as you seem to be now?

Is the concept of discussion on internet forums difficult for you to grasp? We're all here just filling in spare/down time. It's all just throwaway banter, electronic pub chat... forgotten (by most) the minute after it's posted.
But there seems to be a modern day affliction of people taking things (themsevles? their personas?) way too seriously. After all it's just the internet.

 

[phantom eel]

Hopefully no-one from the RBB... we don't want any situations "flaring" up.

Internet persona? f**k I was just being me.

And why would you pick a persona of a f**kwit?

Sorry mate, but not true.
There would be at least 20 posts in the past 3 days from Bart where he has attempted to troll me which I have ignored.
Not sure why you are trying to fight Bart's battles.
The guy is a complete knob, which is plain for all to see on this electronic pub talk.

I'm not.

I was just making an observation. From a bystanders point of view, you throw banter at each other all the time. I don't count who says what and how many times tho.
