    Default Anyone going to the Melbourne Cup?

    Hey guys, just wondering who's going to Flemington for the melbourne Cup Tomorrow?

    I am, a Bunch of friends have hired a Hummer Limmo, and we will be picked up at 7:30 am and taken to Flemington for the day, then picked up by another Limmo after... Can't wait, I have my suit and loudest shirt and Tie ready..

    The last time I went was somewhere around 1997, so looking forward to it

    Nah i wouldn't waste my cash. I'd rather keep it in my wallet and go to a BBQ at my mates. Eat some meat, have a beer or two and feel fresh for work wednesday.

    Did you have much trouble pre-buying tickets? What are they stinging these days?

    Ehh, just another horse race in my opinion. I wouldn't go to the local races cos thats just lame, but next time the race falls on my birthday in 2017 I might go. I imagine it would be an awesome atmosphere and there would be plenty of sites.

    Actually, bugger that... I will be turning 35 and will probably have better priorities.. lol.
