11.06.12 | Vulgar excuse for drinking and betting. Even more vulgar considering that this combination of events constitutes a public holiday. |
Winrar
11.06.12 | Agreed Melbourne Cup is shit. |
Deviant.
11.06.12 | I love how it's billed as the sporting event that "stops two countries", especially when said event is little more than a fashion parade |
liledman
11.06.12 | Is that how it is billed in NZ? |
Deviant.
11.06.12 | Yeah, heard someone on the radio call it that today |
liledman
11.06.12 | Haha I would have thought most kiwis would not give a shit, even in the media. Here of course, it is just "the race that stops the nation".
Also, I'm starting to see a bunch of Facebook pages pop up, petitioning to get the Melbourne Cup to be a public holiday in others states. I find this very strange. It's annoying enough having the holiday here in Victoria, considering everybody (including my stupid TAFE) treats it as a four day weekend. |
Deviant.
11.06.12 | I think the phrase originated from that, and seeing as how most Kiwi's use it as an excuse to knock off work early and get to the pub it's now expanded to "two nations...". It's a big deal in that sense only really, little bit of excitement to be had in dropping $10 on a random horse etc |
DarthMann
11.06.12 | the race that stops the nation |
Pawpnbawtlez
11.06.12 | fucking GREAT excuse to be passing out drunk by 3pm. Should be a nationwide public holiday |

11.06.12 | What happened to the old days where horses had normal names like Mr. Ed? |

11.06.12 | 'She's The Fastest' jumps out to an insurmountable lead, followed by 'Always Comes In Second' |
