its this time of year when i take a moment to reflect, that chocolate should always be in egg form

Nah that would mean that all chocolate should be the sh!tty waxy feeling rubbish they make this time of the year. More like brown copha than chocolate

Totally agree Mark, though the little wrapped solid Cadbury eggs are f&*ken nice. Problem is stopping once you start eating them. What is that stuff in really nice chocolate that makes you want to eat more?

I'm not a religious person, neither am I against religion (each to their own) but I want to know why the date of Easter changes every year, when Christmas is the same (25 December ) every year? From what I know, it has something to do with the equinox and the passover, but didn't the crucifixion happen on an actual date?

PS. I love the fact that I have two boys who are 2 of 3 total grandchildren in our family, therefore, as a chocaholic, Easter is awesome for me!!!

mytchook, tobes is right, Easter, like Christmas, has nothing to do with that bloke who might have lived 2000 years ago. Instead, both are Pagan festivals that the 'church' tried to ban, couldnt, so instead made up an event to correspond with the time of celebration. Still, cant complain with a holiday, even if you dont understand why we have it!

Easty, I have also noticed that there are alot of fishing competitions around on this long weekend..... Hmmmm....

And yes Cal, it is just nice to have a four day weekend.... Hee hee.. My weekend is going to last for 11 days!!! I love holidays!!!

The only sensible thing to do is eat bilbies.

Sorry Tobes, I'm a meateater but I'll pass on Bilbies, rabbits have more meat on them.

Chocolate, like beer, is proof that doG loves us and wants us to be happy.

The difference between paganism and boganism is sometimes hard to discern.

I went to the burnouts last night and they opened the night with a 10 minute prayer.
There were plenty of bogan christians there including me

some poor buggers have to work.
Like the bus load of poor coppers who had the Norseman road blocked off to greet a big mob of holidaying bikies. good on ya lads , keep up the good work
