libbysmum Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Are you a betting man/woman?? I thought it might be a fun idea to hold a sort of competition about the release date of the first SMP. There won't be any prize per se, other than the winner will get to bask in the glory that they were right!! :spinny: Respond to this thread stating which state you think will release their SMP first and on which date. You don't have to name a particular state if you think that the release will be synchronised - ie all states being released on the same day, just reply "synchronised release" Only one person can nominate any particular state on any particular date, so first come first served. (more than one state can be nominated per date, so for example somebody might say VIC on the 21st August and somebody else might say WA on 21st August - thats fine) :policeman: I'll go first and say synchronised release - December 1st, reason being it'll be our 1st anniversary since lodging our visa, and have no other way of predicting :goofy: I'll try to keep the list updated as often as I can on the front page so people know whats still available. Ill use a colour key as shown below to identify which state any particular person has chosen. So come on peeps guess away, cos lets face it, thats what this whole charade is just lately a guessing game!! Final date for entries: 20th August 2010 Colour Key: Synchronised Release ACT NSW WA SA VIC QLD NT TAS July 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th John gilfilan Winner of the Losers!!
