For South Australians in Victoria. Forward to your friends.

[Dogwatcher]

Do you know any South Australian friends/family who are currently living in Victoria?

If so – SA Great would love you to invite them to our ‘Showdown’ event in Melbourne on Saturday, 14 April for ex-pats living in Victoria. (Invite attached).

The event is part of SA Great’s new “Out of State” program – which aims to connect with South Australians (under the age of 45) currently living out of the state.

It will be a great opportunity for your friends to get together and meet other South Australians in a fun, relaxed environment, whilst enjoying South Australian food and beverages and no-doubt a competitive game of footy! Plus they’ll get the chance to win a trip back home...how’s that for incentive?

Please forward this invite on to any South Australian friends or family you know in Victoria.
And let’s remind them what they’re missing out on!

BUT HURRY – we have room for 400, but tickets are selling FAST!!

RSVP IS ESSENTIAL!
RSVP details attached or they can book online at http://mybookingmanager.com/showdownmelb


SA GREAT

[Coorong]

Thats discrimination, under 45's indeed.

[JK]

And just to let you know what you're missing out on (as per email I received yesterday) ...

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 walked around Victor Harbour drunk

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

You know what fritz is

You call people Minda's

You have been to a movie marathon at Marion megaplex

You go out to the same place EVERY saturday night

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 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.

One word: Haighs

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.

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"

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

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

I only just sneek in myself! Any idea on the cost DW?

BTW who the hell is Andrew Costello???

:lol: I only just sneek in myself! Any idea on the cost DW?

BTW who the hell is Andrew Costello???

$10.00 a head. I think I will tell a fib about my age.

[Snaggletooth Tiger]

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

Calabria in Southern Italy. (More of a Province really!)

I'm afraid I'd also have to disagree about your crack about the Ol' Green Death 'Southwark Bitter' too...
Call it an acquired taste but I love it!


Everything else's pretty much spot on!

[Mr66]

Absolute GOLD CP!

[Psyber]

I'm from SA and living in Victoria, but would you believe I'll be in Adelaide visiting family from April 11th to 16th!

[Coorong]

I'm from SA and living in Victoria, but would you believe I'll be in Adelaide visiting family from April 11th to 16th!

And (LOL) your too bloody old anyway. It says under 45, not 65

Hey I don't mind lying in a good cause, and I'd look plausible! As my Avatar reveals I've just had a little cosmetic surgery....

Cost should be in presser.

I too got that "you know you're South Australian...." might start a whole new thread about that actually.

And Andrew Costello - is that Cosi??? the radio announcer?

[McAlmanac]

I got the invite as I have been to one of their functions previously (at which there were DEFINITELY people over 45 - my friend and I had a fantastic conversation with a septagenarian physicist). Wouldn't you know - I'm back in Adelaide that weekend to go to the Eagles v Port game at Pecker Park.

Cost is $10, which includes nibbles and two drinks(!). Let's hope they're Southwark Premiums, but not likely! Only available from Dan Murphy's.

[McAlmanac]

You might want to zoom out when viewing the full image - I forgot to shrink the image when saving it!

Power lines are supported by "stobie" poles

True South Aussie's should know there is no "u" in Victor Harbor

[PhilG]

..

[smac]

Unless it is a name given by someone who spelt it the other way Phil.

[am Bays]

Not going, unless they replace the coopers with West End......

[PhilG]

..

[Psyber]

That is something I'll always argue on, Ian. The correct spelling of Harbour is with the U - unless one is a YANK!

Ditto LaboUr !
