Default Adelaide City Legend

I have just checked out an Adelaide link posted by Mr Mover. It was for 'everything adelaide' and this was one of the page links:


http://www.adelaide.citylegends.com/


Bet you wish you were all heading that way now


Can your city top this?

I go down to Rundle Mall almost every day and have yet to see Johnny. I must be the only person in Adelaide who hasn't seen him yet.

Apparently he often wears a koala rucksack to finish off his ensemble.

Other Adelaide legends include the American man who works at the Clinique make-up counter in Myers - I have lived all over the world and have frequented many Clinique counters and he is the first male I have ever seen working one. Apparently he has lived in Adelaide for 25 years.

I wonder if he is doing it as a statement against Aussie male chauvanism which is alive and well in Adelaide.

Clinique must have a policy of finding these guys out. Theres one on their counter in House of Fraser in Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Sheffield just the same.

I was quite surprised the other day, I saw Jonny wearing cords, trainers and a jumper! I think just as many people were staring at him, only this time they were the local and not the tourists

Thank God pommie bastard's been on my ignore list for the last year, I doubt he's had anything positive to say since then.

I used to visit this forum at least once a day. I stopped about 3 months ago and think I'm a happier person because of it!

Happy in Adelaide
