Melbourne cup: the race mate!

from JoeUser Forums
Booooooo!

:( The Melbourne Cup is takin place as i write and i'm not even watchin it.

For those who dont know the Melbourne Cup takes place in Melbourne (D'Oh!) Australia, once a year the 1st tuesday of November of every year. And it's a huge thing over there.

I got friends who have their own business here in Vanuatu and that could take the afternoon off specially for that. But me? Nah, i'm stuck at work... I cant believe that it is a PUBLIC HOLIDAY IN AUSTRALIA, that's right mate, PUBLIC HOLIDAY!!!!!! grrrrr! And just for a horse race? Sounds really unbelievable i know...

Not like i know s**t about horses or races. But it's such a great atmosphere at the "Office Pub" right now... I know i'm missing out. There will be horses in every screen, but also jags of beer everywhere, cheers, and disappointed faces for losers. But it's so much fun!

I thought it was a good race!

I didn't put any money on, but I liked the name of the horse Zazzman - Had i placed a $20 bet, I would have $400 because it came third! oh well... I guess I get to go to heaven cause I didn't gamble

I love horse's, it's a shame their magnificence is tainted by a shady past time such as gambling!

Oh gee! too bad for you Muggaz! I have friends who always complain about not placing money when they dont cuz they picked a winner and the next time they bet they lose!

It's sick isnt it?

I love horses too, but i seriously dont know anything about betting or which one is the best racer.

Anyhoo, i really know i'm missing out
