I was just thinking, that...well maybe since we have a lot of members that aren't from   say Canada and the U.S. specifically (since we share most holidays and what not) that maybe Mike you could make the calendar more "International"  I mean, today is Australia Day (in Australia that is, since it's tomorrow already), and well...we do have a few Aussie friends no? And it's not on the ToTC calender.

I was thinking this might be a good idea. I dunno...anyone else agree?

[Nemesis]

I concur... I mean... I know hardly any holidays that are observed outside of the US, let alone the rest of North America... I think thats a good idea.

Australia day is actually the 26th not today but its a good idea, what other international holidays are there?

[Chevalier-Ange]

Yeah sorry...but you are observing it today right?

[Nemesis]

Well... i don't know if you guys share the same holidays considering Canada and Australia were both colonized by the British (granted half of Canada is French... but that's not the point) But I know we have a different Thanksgiving than anyone else... I think..

[Chevalier-Ange]

I believe we actually share more holidays with the U.S then Australia. Commonwealth counties or not, for example...Labour Day is the same on both sides of the border.

Oh, and BTW...half of Canada isn't French...<_<

[Nemesis]

Split hairs... i know it's not half, some it's the east coast bits... NOT THE POINT.... I didn't know you shared Labor (no u) Day with us. 

[WhiteRoxie]

Yeah sorry...but you are observing it today right?

We're observing it today so that we get a long weekend and a Monday off work... Australia is a lazy bum =D

Lawl, yea it happens. We have rearranged our holidays so that they fall on Mondays so that we have work and school off as well. You gotta love a lazy country 

[OnewingedDragon]

We're not lazy. We're helping keep the population from being overworked.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.... If you say so. Isn't that what vacation days are for?

So true. When I was there it seemed like there was 2 month period where every week had a 4 day weekend due to fake holidays or other excuses.  I wanted my mail dang it! 

Too bad I didn't realize the 26th's was Australia day, I'd of sung the anthem for... myself.

[OnewingedDragon]

What is the anthem? Is it better than Canada's?

[RedAxie]

Anything is better than Canada's >_<

[WhiteRoxie]

Advance Australia Fair. Just in case you're interested.

[Chevalier-Ange]

Advance Australia Fair. Just in case you're interested.

Umm...Whitey, just for purely curiosity's sake, I was trying to find a place to actually hear this...ugh...all I could find were YouTube ...gah...renditions @_@
...know where I can hear a real version?

[ScienceFair]

You might try watching some international sporting event with Australia competing... they'll favor you with both Advance Australia Fair and Waltzing Matilda(the fake national anthem).
