Let's Go and Have a Flutter Halloween isn�t so big here, you�ll get a few kids trick or treating, but it�s just not embraced like it is in other countries. IP&D pointed something out yesterday and I think she�s right - The Melbourne Cup is our equivalent of Halloween. People dress up in silly hats/outfits, it�s practically a public holiday (well it is in Melbourne) and someone always feels ill at the end because they�ve had too much. Today is that day. And there are an awful lot of women swanning around in dresses, wearing big elaborate hats and sipping champagne...and that�s just in my office. Imagine how it would actually be AT the races. Madness. So I haven�t put a bet on. Don�t know any of the horses and even if I did, probably wouldn�t win anything anyway. I�ll just settle for getting free nibblies when the race is shown on the big screen in the boardroom. Tyd 2 November 2004 - 3:30 pm |
