Congratulations Tal, may you both be very happy together.

I find it strange that the Queen's birthday is celebrated in other countries but not a bank holiday to be seen here...

I know that a lot of Aussies would like to have got rid of the monarchy and become a republic but ultimately the changes may have been too much hassle eg. lots of things would have had to be re-named Royal mail, Royal flying Doctor service and anything else containing the word Royal and that's just for starters...
