Blimey, the State Bank featuring in an SA Great ad. Has aged like fine milk.

A rare loan from the grandiose Smicallef archive

[@DPM666]

Jeez just when you think this show can't get any better he goes and bloody does it.

[@davidthegreen]

Thanks! This is it though. All downhill from here.

[@adelaidecrowsrdabest]

Love the Cunnos history!

[@davidthegreen]

History that deserves to be remembered

[@GoldenLion2004]

Ah yes, the classic foresight of Adelaide; to pull down the Exhibition Building and replace it with the monument to oppressive architecture that is the Napier building.

[@sallycampbell154]

Holy shit. My mum still has a mouli! exact same but in the cream colour! Used it my entire life lol. We only really used it for grating cheese though
Still keeps it in the box

[@soylentchiba]

The remaining few video stores here in WA all publicly blamed the customers for going under, but Galactic Video (Sign Says DVD) proves that with a focus on good customer service you can keep the dream alive. With streaming service bloat, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a mild return of ye olde video shoppes very soon.

Nice shout-out for Galactic Video! There's also a house near where I live that has a Lietzke gate, it caught my eye I never new what it was, until now.
I'm also a huge Marx Brothers fan.
🎵If the nightingales could sing like you,
They'd sing much sweeter than they do,
For you brought a new kind of love to me.🎵

[@davidthegreen]

Yeah I seem to remember a couple of friends’ houses when I was a kid had those copper doors. Wonder how they hold together long term?

[@Freako]

I've never heard a 90 year old movie be called "lolworthy". I loved the scooty ending, very simpsons.

[@JHOPEELEVENJamesCoulter]

Cunningham warehouses and mr bankrupt are a must know if you live in Adelaide

[@MrMelo34]

That old Adelaide bus tho.. 🤔

[@davidthegreen]

A “Brown Bomber”

[@MrMelo34]

@@davidthegreen Haha people were allowed to smoke on those ones.. And cinemas back then..

[@davidthegreen]

@@MrMelo34 Can’t do that any more

[@TimChuma]

Performing for free but I would still feel like I was ripped off.

[@WordTweak]

That's a neat Doctor Who collection.

[@davidthegreen]

Yeah pretty sure they got all of them

[@judee.caulfield6386]

I don't get the pearl necklace Japan joke could someone explain it

[@davidthegreen]

@@judee.caulfield6386 It’s a reference to some of the wacky “adult” game shows they have in Japan

[@strictlysega]

Laserdiscs are better

[@davidthegreen]

Quite a collection you have there
