We're no racing enthusiasts. Racing, I'm afraid, is lost on us. Mind you, we are more than happy to accept a day off in celebration of a race we sometimes forget to watch. Most Melbournians know what the Melbourne Cup Day holiday is really for: sleeping in and gathering with friends.That said, just because you don't get racing, doesn't mean you can't enter into the spirit of things. Australians are guns at that. Just think how many fellow countrymen and women don't rock up to church over Easter! How many of them do we get volunteering to stay on and hold the fort at work, instead taking the four-day break? Hmm? Anyone? With the Melbourne Cup Carnival fast approaching, it seems fitting to make a contribution to the day, even if it has little to do with the actual race. This year, gather your favourite people together for some heightened fun - I mean the real sort you can remember the day after...one can only hope!
