O.T. Do you trust the Government?

Who's the stupider? Us for voting the Government in? Or the Government
them selves?
Since when has Boxing day come before Christmas?

Boxing day 2003 comes before Christmas 2004.

 

Think yourself lucky... until a few weeks ago you weren't going to be
celebrating Christmas day at all... which will explain why boxing day comes
first this year.

Also note Christmas this year has been moved to the 28/12, and next year to
the 27/12

 

I can actually kind of see what they've done. I think the days they've
written up there are for when the holiday itself falls, (ie through the
week) not the day itself. Why else does it say the 27th and 28th instead of
25th and 26th etc? As to the reverse order, perhaps technically you are
supposed to have the holiday day off in reverse chronological order. All
sounds rather weird to me though. Aha, yes, I am correct. If you have a look
at Anzac day, it has a * next to it, stating that there is no day in lieu
for that day, hence no ... we don't get a three day weekend for Anzac day.
The bastards! I'll need a day to recover after spending the day getting
pissed with the diggers.

Both Christmas Day and Boxing Day fall on a weekend this year.

The public holidays have been moved to the nearest weekday after.
Normally, you wouldn't get Christmas or Boxing day hols if they fell
on a weekend so count yourself lucky.

Odd though that they wouldn't have them in order but it won't affect
my ability to enjoy a four day long weekend.

We've had a weekday-holiday for Christmas and Boxing day every year I can

What did you expect from Labour/Lebbo scum ??

About the only place on the planet where they have a holiday for a bloody
horse race,then cock it up and have it on a Tuesday

Yeah bring back Jeff
didn't he do away with the showday holiday?
didn't he do away with lonbg weekends for anzac day if it fell on a sunday?
Yet HE had long weekends
yeah bring back the good old days.
NOT

 

You missed the Easter Tuesday holiday which he axed,and the 7 day trading
(bastard) that he approved

Hope he (Jeff) does not put the Mini into the wall during his celeb.
race?How is he going to get all that hair inside a helmet?

CDIHL

 

What about all the good things Jeff did, eh?

If I was living in Vic, I would have voted for him.

Hammo

 

LOLGood point
Mind you Bracksy's boffante aint much smaller.
I think the key to being state premier in vic now is to have big hair.

 

Only if you were living in his electorate
which I do.
Tho now it belongs to labor.

 

Speak for yourself. I didn't vote for one of the fsckers I'm currently
unfortunate enough to have my country, state or local area run by.

Read a little more closely - this is a public holiday timetable. Since
Xmas day in 2004 is on a SUnday, the public holiday for it is on the
Tuesday {since boxing day is its own public holiday}.

My Yamaha calendar says Christmas day is a SATurday with Boxing Day being
the SUnday. Maybe you do things differently down there...

Russell

 

Yeah, and aren't things sooo much better...!

You probably don't remember anything before 1960 though.

Even the first half of 1960 is a total blank!

(Actually, to tell the truth; most of last week is a blank and anything
earlier that didn't involve trivia, sexual-conquest, pain, or mortifying
embarrassment is permanently erased)
