We too have a tradition like that in Australia: Grand Final day (Australian Rules Football).
And don't forget that other great Australian excuse for taking a day off and giving yourself and your mates presents of liberal amounts of food and drink... a certain horse race that's due shortly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> What's it called.. Sydney Cup? Brisbane Cup... one of those obscure Eastern States places, anyway.... ah yes, The Melbourne Cup. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> They call it the race that stops the Nation. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
BTW - Great story about the 2 waiters Mea. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
