going for daffodill for the cup.

Me too mate.

My fate is in the hands of a Kiwi.

Going to get so smashed today - we have a firm-wide function from 11am onwards.

Risky territory.

 

[Mister Wright]

I hope there's a 'Shocking' result today.

 

[Smudge]

I can't understand the hype behind Shocking. Was beaten comfortably by Alcopop in the Herbert Power - it's just the fact he won the Lexus that he's back in people's calculations. He's half a kilo worse off than when the last time they both met. That said, he'll probably come out and win...

Confirmation the race starts at 3pm AEDT?

Having an argument in the office, one person is adament it's 2pm AEDT and now I'm utterly confused.

3 pm, thereby stuffing up parents pcking kids up from school.

You should see the stuff in Sydney this morning. Honestly, they should dress like that every day imo.

Surely the kids would stay back at school and have an afternoon tea or something while watching the Cup? If not, that's unAustralian.

How the hell are we going to get our next Glen Boss or Damian Oliver if the kids don't watch the race?

Allez Wonder ftw.

Confirm 3pm AEDT

2pm Queensland time, late lunch at the pub, may not return to work afterwards.

 

[howardj]

Wow, some of the dresses around here are breath-taking.

Even our rotund receptionist looks nice.

The horses I pick to win the Melbourne Cup have an amazing knack of finishing third - C'est La Guerre, Mahler, Maybe Better, Xcellent...

I'm firmly in the Daffodil camp today. I think she can go two better than all of those did.

Sadly pub lunch did not eventuate...Picking the winner did though, always pays to back more than one horse...$80 profit, beers on the weekend.

Ouch.

Was on Shocking myself, so happy.

I ended up going each way on Mourilyan, so will end up pretty much even.

13 days till i'm 18.

I'm mature enough, plus everyone reckons i'm 20, so, yeah.

 

[Athlai]

I heard the law does now work on a 'mature enough' basis.

 

[ripper868]

Yep, explains why CDM is always at the pub.
