Are you enjoying an extra long weekend too?

I worked yesterday so it hasn't been an extra long weekend for me But today I have a day off and I'm going on a car cruise out east of Melbourne.

I've seen it, some great scenery. Read that most of it, even the Himalayas and Afghanistan bits, were shot in Iceland of all places

Where would you travel if $ and time were no object? For me it'd be Europe or the US.

After watching the movie i wanted to go to Iceland.But even before seeing the movie i have liked those lagoons over there.
Europe,Uk inc scotland and somewhere like the greek islands would be great holiday.

Ohh, lovely, thanks Bots-will do a catchup. Think I saw the first 2 episodes and liked what I saw.

My brother is doing a bike cruise out that way today-he's doing the Black Spur-was yours anywhere near there? Hope you enjoy. (Im at work, but our 'kind' boss is letting us stop to watch the Cup. )

My boss has opened his wallet today lol, and is putting on a bet for all 8 of us who've turned up for work today.

I have no idea about picking horses, who do I go for?

Just use my sister's method of going with colors you like. Good luck

Someone at work gave me a tip but i forgot the name of the horse.
i googled cup tips and found this lol>
Keep your shoes/shirt on
Keep your shoes on at all times. The moment those slip off your feet, so does your dignity. If you have sore feet you shouldn't have worn a new pair of heels in the first place.

For men, this applies for your pants or shirts. If you want to make your first trip to the races your last, then go ahead.

 

[rocker_oz33]

yep i remember now horse called fawkner.

 

[karencatsfan]

Thanks guys-I better get a move on or the race will be done.

So it's pretty colors or Fawkner (hopefully Fawkner has pretty colors ), and keep my shoes and pants on!

I agree with what you posted about heels etc....above Rocker-it's an awful look.

 

[darren forssman]

has this gawd awful race started yet? havent even switched on the tellingvision yet so am blissfully unaware.

 

[vinum coupe]

Backing brambles.

QLD derby winner.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Another tip.
More is more in this instance, so ladies should avoid the shoestring straps and short hemlines. Men, steer clear of loud shirts and coloured suits. Remember, if you do plan on heading on to Boutique for a cheeky post-race boogie, schedule an outfit change as it's a very long day to spend in tight-fitting and revealing clothing.

 

[darren forssman]

backing cumani, never fails to surprise.

 

[GeelongFTW]

I ain't caring.

Lol. Where are you getting these tips from?

These people didn't read your helpful hints obviously

 

[karencatsfan]

So, did anyone besides VC and myself have a bet on the Cup?

My horse came 3rd- ended up going for the one with a name I liked, as the colour combos weren't so nice.

darren forssman your location has gone to something else-says you're from NM football club-did you change it to that.

Nope. My bets for the week went on epl and nfl. Both fell over at 1 leg in the multi.

Both multis combined would have netted roughly $65 for every $2 bet.

Didn't even see the race.

 

[Willo_]

I didn't bet... figured the best way to make sure I didn't lose was to not bet

Pretty solid principle.

 

[Willo_]

Pretty solid principle.

Plus I was out driving my 3 year old round looking for trucks and ambulances and police cars and so on... didn't even know what time it was and didn't get home until 3

Aww, cute. Did you find something?

I wouldn't have had a clue about betting either btw, my boss put a $5 bet on for each of us (generous ) and I won $10. Think he may have taken some of my winnings as compensation lol, as my horse was a huge outsider apparently.

 

[Willo_]

He seemed pretty happy and found plenty to look at

Yeah we did the Black spur as well so I may have passed him (there were so many bikes on that road). We drove up to Lake Mountain Resort, from there we went to Mount Dandenong lookout and then back home

you had it as the dirty norf which someone has changed to the NMFC. thought it was obvious.

 

[darren forssman]

you had it as the dirty The North Melbourne Football Club which someone has changed to the NMFC. thought it was obvious.

no, my original location was "the dirty norf".

someone has added the tnmfc bit.
