  • prison modifiedSometimes, we think we have a grasp of something when we simply don't. And meaning, which we think we understand, slips out of our hands as readily as an eel (understandably) reluctant to grace our dinner plate.

    Earlier this month, Sydney's favourite rock 'n' roll pollie, PM Albanese, said that the Coalition were “delulu with no solulu”. 

    Poor bloke wasn't really advised too well with that one. See, the meaning is now in fact the reverse; that delusion really is the solution. Although meanings, especially with slang, can twist and slide out from under like an eel.

    In the middle of Adelaide is Victoria Square, with the obligatory statue of the late queen. It also boasts the poxy (and recently-moved) “Three Rivers” fountain.

    Originally built to commemorate the 1963 visit of the king and queen, in true Adelaide fashion the monstrosity was finally unveiled in 1968.
