boxing day

Here in OZ we have a holiday the day after x-mas, its funily enough called BOXING DAY.

What happens on boxing day?

A. organised fighting as a result to quell the x-mas brawls between family members
B. the only day in the OZ callender when you can pick any politian or celebritiy to fight without leagal consequences
C. the day when the sanitation engineers come to pick up all the rubbish from x-mas
D. when the new x-mas holiday movies start at the cinemas

Well apart from the qeue lining up to pick on Russel 'Rusty' Crowe the answer is actually C and D.

I'm going to see Narnia (hope Aslan isn't crap CGI).

But what also happens on Boxing Day is the Australian Cricket equivelant of the Super-Bowl. The Boxing Day Test Match. So called because it starts on boxing day. Every boxing day louts and yobbos gather to drink and whatch the first day of a five day cricket match.

Yes FIVE days of cricket. Thats why its called a test match. Its a test of your strength stamina and if you don't love cricket boredom.

So I'll be whatching Narnia and waiting to see wether the South-Africans can take the game to 5 days again.

Corbiscide out.
