AIRING OF GRIEVANCES
Fetch your aluminium poles, people:
Officials in Sydney, Australia, are planning an Easter festival around racing with hopes of creating a tourist draw to rival the Melbourne Cup, which packs Flemington racecourse each November.
The festival, which is tentatively named Festivus, would also include rugby and surfing events.
And, of course, the Feats of Strength.

Next, instead of `equalisation' `grants', they should be supplied with free dope so that they can bongo out altogether.
