Big ones were more than half of attendees were women, and 45% of GA ticket purchasers were under 35.
Women love dressing up. And getting fucking plastered on champagne.
How do they know how many people watched or listened?

The question was rhetorical. It's based on opt-in reporting and then sample size math where you attribute a "confidence level".
tl;dr version: it's made up.

And blokes with ordinary heads like that because it increases the chance of pulling women.

How I know it's Melbourne Cup day: Women finally putting in an effort to get dressed for work.

I'm loving a day on the punt. Gave myself the day off work. Sitting at home, knocking beers punting on each race. What a day.

I used to do that but punting on every meet, usually sent me broke by race 6..still fun though. Enjoy

There was a budget negotiation with the missus. I wanted 300. She offered me 200. We settled in the middle. Still a fair allocation.

Looking a fairly even Cup this year. Early indications suggest it's going to be a solid day, and it feels like it's getting its mojo back a little. Must be if it attracted @mariner4life all the way from Cairns...

we should just look out for the pile of empty bottles then?
Does seem to have more attraction this year though, not like previously but improved
