[philreich]

Went to a whole heap of effort to get my old bank account reactivated. Finally remember my login details and log on, only to see my $1.30 is still safe where I left it.

Nice to know that you can afford almost a litre of petrol.

I love the Demons' song:

Join in the chorus
And sing it one and all
Join in the chorus
We never touch the ball
Our club is lacking
In champions you'll agree
The Demons won't be premiers
Till season 53 .

...and sung to the tune of "She'll be comin' round the mountain whan she comes"

Hello dear Rodders!

How’s things C2R !

 

[DERO]

I can do inane too. We have to get DERO to 50.

Ooh. This could be hard.

 

[jackster83]

I wish today was a public holiday here too.

 

[Jatz]

Deadset, you Vics must have almost an extra week off in public holidays than we do in NSW.

I'm not bitter about it though. Swear...

Number of public holidays per state/territory in 2024:

13 - VIC, ACT
12 - NT, SA, QLD
11 - NSW, WA, TAS

Some of the more unique ones are May Day in NT, Royal Queensland Show Day, Adelaide Cup Day in SA, Melbourne Cup Day and the bizarre Day Before AFL Grand Final day in VIC, Regatta Day and Eight Hours Day in Tasmania, and the incredibly exciting WA Day over here.

Genuinely surprised it's that close.

I know we also don't get a racing public holiday like most.

And a very good morning to my fabulous Buller comrades and hello Swampies!

Another glorious day! Just right to do the five loads of washing that the moginie household has produced for the occasion.

Whatever you do today, do it cleanly.

The interesting one is in Qld where Brisbane has a different public holiday to the rest of the state.

I find it interesting that the King’s Birthday in Queensland is the same date as Labour Day in NSW

WA made the mistake of putting the Perth Cup on New Years Day, so none for us either.

It's the same with Tasmania, who are geographically spilt with Regatta Day (Feb 12) and Recreation Day (Nov 4).

 

[serial_thrilla]

I find it interesting that the King’s Birthday in Queensland is the same date as Labour Day in NSW

Kings Birthday and Labour Day are a real mess between all the states.

ACT, NSW & SA
King’s Birthday: Monday, June 10
Labour Day: Monday, October 7

NT & TAS
King’s Birthday: Monday, June 10
(no Labour Day)

Queensland
Labour Day: Monday, May 6
King’s Birthday: Monday, October 7

Victoria
Labour Day: Monday, March 11
King’s Birthday: Monday, June 10

Western Australia
Labour Day: Monday, March 4
King’s Birthday: Monday, September 23 (some regional areas in WA observe the King’s Birthday public holiday on a different date)

 

[damicky]

Can Mobbs provide use with a list of Sweet Public Holidays?

 

[DERO]

Just bumped into my old mate sante he is looking well albeit slightly arrogant.

 

[DERO]

why do people continue to live in Melbourne when QLD is available?
