Yeah, but he wasn't wearing the 'Slouch Hat' was he?

yea but that's when the bloke rose from the dead (Easter Sunday) when we celebrate, Easter Friday the day he died is definitely not celebrated by those with religious beliefs.

correct weight...I dont think we celebrate Good Friday either...no pubs open for example

[mrjbeam1981]

So JB, I guess that means that you aren't going to the cricket with me then....

8:00am - Breaky
9:00am - Speech
11.00am - Council festivities
1:00pm - Cab picks me up to head to Adelaide
1.45pm - JB's round as we prepare for the start of play

Then why the hell if there no footy and nothing open? If that day itsn't celebrated by religious people, then it sure as hell isn't celebrated by the non religious people!

I am sure the fact that Good Friday is a public holiday is celebrated by non religious people, just like the other holidays connected to religion ie christmas etc

I've posted this to Borat before on the Snout's louts forum...

[TroyGFC]

MrJB prehaps you could mention in ya speech on how UN-Australian PM John Howard is and his IR legisation.

[Pseudo]

I am with you. But still any day paid to be off work is good but why stop at the few we have I vote to have off other religous days such as Ramadam (sp?).

Troy, I think Ramadan (sic) goes for a whole month.

Or was that your point?

[Snaggletooth Tiger]

I think the whole idea of Ramadan's fasting!
...& besides, devout Muslims don't drink!

[TroyGFC]

Pseudo- yes that was my point.
Snaggletooth- Ramadan may have meant to be for fasting/nondrinking but much like Good Friday I still eat meat and drink plenty of booze.

AUSTRALIA DAY = WORK at double time & a 1/2

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

Cricket for me, tickets in the Members, but i will only be in there for drinks, will be on the hill.

AUSTRALIA DAY = WORK at double time & a 1/2

have to work Australia Day?...what industry are you in MT?

[Wedgie]

Australia Day means nothing to me, except for as mentioned by some the JJJ Top 100 which isn't what it used to be.

Good Friday means even less, can't believe in this backward state that there's no footy on. Sometimes have a BBQ just to spite any religious people in the neighbourhood.

Australia Day signals the end of School Holidays to kids so they're all starting to despise it, smart moves by the powers that be turning the kids off it.

But having said that, I'll take a day off for any reason and don't care what its for. Not happy that Australia Day is falling on a Friday as thats a 6 hour day for me, it should be Monday every year so I can claim 8 hours for it.

Mate, the most antisocial thing you can eat on Good Friday - whilst developing good hard fat-clogged arteries - is a bacon double cheeseburger. Apparently the ingredients of this little heart-attack inducing wonder means that 75% of the world's population cannot eat one on Good Friday.
