It's not like you can control what day a holiday falls on.

(I get what you mean, I'm just pointing out that it's kind of cheating. I think we just recently implemented the same thing here.)

[Cheery Dog]

It's still celebrated on the day, but because we then lose our saturday/sunday, the monday becomes part of the weekend. (best effect is christmas on a saturday for boxing day to then make tuesday a public holiday)

Everyone listening to the Hottest 100?

Was at Big Day Out.

Looked like a decent list though, plenty of good hip hop in there. Was hoping Smiles Don't Lie would get higher, but it's good.


I'm in Canberra now btw.

[JasonWazza]

Wait this is a thing?

Vic here, also i'd be in for a meet.

[Espeonage]

Everyone play Quidditch. Aussies are actually in with a chance for winning worlds.

[JasonWazza]

Yeah one of my friends plays quidditch, but personally i kinda just laugh a little at the idea, cause i think to myself, how can you play quidditch?

[Espeonage]

What's their name? I probably know them. Did they go to QUAFL?

[JasonWazza]

You know, your not making this seem any less funny... Quafl

Though yes i think he might have (i think i remember laughing at the name), though he is from vic like me so whether they went to one in sydney isn't one of the things i'm knowledgeable in.

[Espeonage]

The QUAFL is the national tournament. Victoria sent two team. The Melbourne Manticores and the Monash Muggles.

[JasonWazza]

Well then he probably was there then, i think he was going to monash.

[Espeonage]

Awesome.

[Drench]

I think some of my friends are going to join the Monash team? I mean mostly because they're going to Monash

alas i am but a poor unimelb student with no uni quidditch team in sight

[JasonWazza]

I just googled muggle Quidditch, dear god it sounds funnier then i thought.

Your university has the Melbourne Unicorns. And there are like 5 community teams in Melbourne.

shit actually

Espy just....just fucking read what you wrote.

You are a grown goddamn man, remember that.

[Espeonage]

Dude, the ANU team is mostly ex lacrosse players that lost funding and needed a new sport.

All of the Perth males used to play Volleyball.

Shit's intense. Imagine European Handball mixed with Dodgeball mixed with Oztag.

[JasonWazza]

mixed with a big helping of NERD POWER

[Espeonage]

I think last time a survey was done, 60% of Australian players hadn't read a single Harry Potter book. And that number is rising. I know a whole two people that play for Newcastle have read at least one of the books or seen all the movies.

[Hanasawa]

Okay, bumping this up slightly for a bit but I'll be in NSW (Sydney namely) at November 18th for 3 days so was wondering if anyone wanted to do a day meet then? Not sure what would could possibly do but it's just to gauge interest for an Australian (short) meet.

[DeasVail]

I'm in if it doesn't clash with exams.

How is this a good thing?!

By which I mean: the rich fiction is probably the interesting part of all of this. It's the "running around on pretend brooms" bit that's awkward. At least if they were fans I'd understand why....

[Drench]

sydneysiders, i am in you
