I made a reference to the Two Ronnies in the office today. Was greeted by mainly blank looks. There's now a whole generation who've never known their brilliance.
Here's a plan: Let's open our borders to NSW, VIC & ACT for 11 days. Let Covid seed in our virus-free community. Have WA & the NT shut us out. Then let's slam our borders closed again to the East. Yeah. That'll work. Good plan.

We've lost one of SA's great political minds with the passing of Professor Dean Jaensch. Fond memories of working with him on ABC radio. His experience and insight, unmatched. A great teacher to generations.

In 2018 we're worried about slipping on onions at Bunnings. In 1981 you could throw yourself off the Glenelg jetty wrapped in plywood and paper mache.

5 signs you grew up in Adelaide in the 80s.
1. You bought music at CCs.
2. You saw movies at the Academy.
3. You were in the audience of the Channel Niners.
4. You rode a redhen with the door open.
5. You believed stories about razorblades at Magic Mountain.

It's been very hot in many places this week, but now it's hot in Sydney, it's all we hear about on national media. No-one else cares. Perth is 24 today, Adelaide 24, Melbourne 19, Brisbane 31, Hobart 20..
Just in: Police have arrested and charged the 19 year who allegedly went nightclubbing knowing he was Covid positive. He's in the lock-up and will front court tomorrow.

PSA: You'll need to wear a mask tomorrow. Not for Covid. But because it'll be 34 degrees and there are wheelie bins filled with cheap lobster scraps.

Jane Doyle at the start of her TV career in the 80s. She's just been awarded an OAM for service to the broadcast media and the community. Onya Doyley!

Happy Birthday to SA Governor Hieu Van Le... who arrived by boat from Vietnam with nothing but an "invisible suitcase full of dreams", proving Australia really is a land of incredible opportunity.

Just met some American tourists who said "We've just been to Adelaide. It was nicer than we thought it would be".
Could be a new tourism slogan?
*Adelaide: Nicer than you think*.

Sad there's no local programming on ABC radio at the moment beyond Breakfast. Not even local news bulletins in the afternoon. We're not served well when it becomes the Sydney Broadcasting Corporation.

Encouraging to hear Steven Marshall tell
@7NewsAdelaide
late edition news, that as of 6pm, despite all the testing today, there have been no more positive results detected. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Shout out to Spence Denny who's just announced his retirement after 33 years at the ABC. Big loss for the Collinswood Dream Factory. Go well Mr Versatile!

How come Steven Marshall isn't on your show given SA is leading the nation in managing coronavirus? Schools are back and restrictions have been nowhere near as draconian as NSW, VIC & QLD.

Just 13 days now until the talking clock falls silent. The familiar voice of late ABC announcer Richard Peach, pictured here in 1990. (If you've never heard it, dial 1194 while you can)

If this sentence makes sense to you, you should probably be in bed by now:

It's 70 years today since the Queen took the throne... Quite remarkable. Back then.. Tom Playford was Premier, Adelaide didn't have television and KG had only been on radio for 20 years.

Police Commissioner Grant Stevens’ teenage son is on life support with irreversible brain damage after a hit-run crash at Goolwa Beach. Premier Peter Malinauskas and Deputy Commissioner Linda Williams have responded to the Schoolies incident involving Charlie Stevens.

Only a Sth Aussie could translate this:
"I was down at the Bay throwing back a few Woodies watching Willsy & Cornesy put on a show at Lennie's when K.G stopped by and said "'Strike me pink Studley, my frog cake fell on the floor and I slammed into a stobie outside Le Cornu's."
End of an era as Jane Doyle announces her departure from 7NEWS after 33 years! Such a pro. This was her first night in 1989, when Willsy welcomed her to the team with a special pair of glasses. Onya Doyley!
