Just received this in email and think its gold

You know you're an Adelaidian when...


You have been to the east end exchange at least once and you were under 18.

You have been to glenelg and got extremely sunburnt

Gone to the Grand sunburnt!

You have walked around Victor Harbour drunk

You have walked down Rundle Mall .... Drunk!

You know what fritz is

You call people Minda's

You say Plaaaant not pleeeent

You have been to a movie marathon at Marion megaplex

You go out to the same place EVERY saturday night

You have the same friends from high school

You cant go out without seeing someone you know... even if you have never
been to that particular place before (even though you rarely venture from
your old favourite)

You really miss the old sizzler cheese bread

You like ugg boots not moccies

You have a very strong opinion on Lleyton Hewitt

You have been to one of the following lookouts (stirling, mt lofty,
penfolds rd, sunnyside rd, eagle on the hill)

You know who stormy summers is

You love cold rock ice cream and if you dont you love cibos instead

You know what fruchocs are!

You pour Farmer's Union Iced Coffee on your breakfast cereal.

You proudly admit your love of the Fritz Sandwich.

You're so caring and sharing that you have the urge to adopt other state's
cities as you own. (Come 'ere Broken Hill, let's hug.)

You will never forgive Melbourne for stealing our Grand Prix. Never.

You know how 'dance', 'pool', 'castle' and 'graph' are SUPPOSED to be
pronounced.

You get offended when people from Western Australia call SA part of the
"East Coast".

You insist on calling AMII Stadium, "Footy Park".

You say a Pie Floater tastes great just to maintain your street cred.

You consider Coopers to be a food group.

Your timezone isn't good enough for us.

While half of our state is uninhabitable, you know that it's still the
greatest.

You think the 'Tiser has no journalistic integrity whatsoever.... and yet
you still read it every day.

Don't believe the rumours. I live in South Australia and have never been
murdered once.

You vote for Mike Rann in every state election, mainly because you can't
remember the other guy's name.

You know there's more than one way to have a good time in Hindley Street.

The Superjesus is your favourite band.

One word: Haighs

No thanks, I shop at Big Star.

The Barossa is for Lovers.

You know that Victor Harbor is the only place to be for Schoolies.

France imports our wine. How 'bout them apples?

You forgave the Chappells for the 1981 Underarm Incident purely out of
South Australian patriotism.

Where else would you find places with names like 'Bruce', "Gluepot' and
'Iron Knob'?

So which is it? Crows or Port?

How many of the other states have a peninsula shaped like a leg?

You know the people out on the Torrens are either tourists or rowers. No
one else would go near that water.

You think the Festival Centre is a wonder of modern architecture.

Despite all our faults, at least South Australia wasn't built by convicts.

When you leave work at 5:15 and miss "peak hour traffic"

You can have a good old laugh at the fact that adelaides second name is
"city of churches"

Your not scared by aboriginals walking around in speedos and gumboots

You like fritz n sauce sandwitches!!

You take 20 mins to get anywhere!!

Your 'sports gurus' are KG and Cornesy

Kidman park is wogville and so is paynham =)

You can pronounce 'Southwark' but know to not drink it.

You know when someone says "Elizabethean" theyre not talking about something classic and elegant.

... you can describe the different shades of BROWN of all the stupidly heritage listed buildings everywhere...

~Em~r
hey... here's an idea... for a bit of fun, we should turn this into like a tally sort of thing. Like, everyone copies and pastes the first post into their own and leaves all the ones they have done/can relate to, and deletes the ones they haven't done/can't relate to.

Meh, I'll do it... if others think its a good idea then they can too... if not... no biggy!!

A meat pie alone is bad enough....add that horrible olive green pea mix groul crap to it and its just so WRONG!!!!! puke.gif

i be disagreein oh mighty sharan

a pie floater at least once in life is essential to the bad health and unwell being of the average adelaideian
g.k.r
you know you are from adelaide, when you go to a 'kebab' shop and ask for a yiros.
Gabtronr
My dad is mad keen on pie floaters but the first time he took me I was going through my "not eating red meat" phase and chose a cup of pea soup instead. To my complete amazement, it tasted fkn wikkid, ESPECIALLY with tomato sauce smile.gif

Yummmmmmmmmmmmm...
