Melbourne Cup Holiday

Bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Whatever Dave does Danman, you can bet it’s more worthy than what you or I do. He obviously doesn’t have time to grow a brain.

This was discussed here when it was mooted back in April.

I work for a private company and we tend to take exactly the amount of time away from work to watch the cup and work out who won. The rest of the day is work as usual.

So I’d be happy with another day off. Though personally I think we should just take the holidays we already have and redistribute them more evenly throughout the year.

So what do you do for a crust BigDave ?

Suck golfballs through hoses ?

Methinks BigDave doth protest too much

If BigDave were to have an indian name, it would be Wanker-Who-Speaks.

Oh, the poor public servants! Paid huge amounts of taxpayers money to sit on their arses. How terrible it’ll cost them that extra day! My heart bleeds…

The Feds (liberal or labor) will never allow it.

I’m surprised the new public holiday isn’t set down to mark the release date of David Hicks, since Stanhope was such a champion of his cause!

Actually, for most public servants it won’t be an extra day off because their workplace agreements stipulate a set number of public holidays. At the moment, the ACT has one less public holidays than most regions (no show day) and they get an extra day off at Christmas. By gazetting this as an official public holiday it will cost public servants their extra day at Christmas.

Who cares what it’s for… it’s another day off!

Seems like a decent choice if you’re going to make another public holiday, does anyone actually do any work on Melbourne Cup day anyway? Usually turns out to be a day long lunch in my experience.

Great! Now I can get down to the racecourse to meet Nikki, Kelly & frenchie who adorned one of Kerces’ photos last year.

And their mate, the lawyer wot can’t spel.

As far as I am concerned, celebrating melbourne cup is about as relevant as celebrating the Queens Birthday. Its a day off, hang out with your family and mates and be happy that our country is run a despot with scant regard for his fellow aussies, and put a bet down, or learn to. May as well make the day educational none the less.

How ridiculous! If we really do need another public holiday (someone explain to me why) why are we celebrating a horse race in Melbourne???

That said, I will be enjoying my day off like everyone else. November’s a great month for a holiday!
