    I remember filling in a census form in the early 80's where we created a ficticious flatmate modelled on Neil from The Young Ones.

    Their will be heaps doing it. You only need 10.000 for it to be officialy classed as a Religion.

    AFL isn't a religion, it's a sport.

    You see, a religion is where thousands of fanatics gather together all over the country on a regular basis to chant and carry on about something that in the scheme of things is very unimportant but which they take so seriously that people have been injured, even killed, for saying the wrong thing and...

    Oh, yeah

    sounds like a sharpening thread, silent!

    I think it is Australian to lie in the Census form...at least to make the place seem much more interesting.

    Who is taking odds on how long it takes the online entry to go wheels up? That is if it even works to start with?

    Had an argument with my MIL the other night on why is it so crucial that the census has to be done on Tuesday night. I understand the idea of having a snapshot of the nation. It just doesn’t make sense to have to done it tother in 1 night.

    Would the nation as a whole be any difference if the information is collected over 1 night or a period of say 7 days? Probably not. The truth is not everyone will do it tonight anyway. So why are they so anal about it? Why can't we be given a week to complete it instead of changing our plans or missing out?

    She said “You don’t understand.” and she is right because I don’t.

    Is Darkside a religion then?

    Or Wendy's Wood Whisperers?

    Can I believe in more than one thing at once? What would be the third of the holey (sic) trilogy? Triton?

    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Forget JEDI. Put Woodie, that way, when it becomes an official religion all of our sheds become temples. Just think of the tax advantages.......
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    Because it is supposed to include anyone who stayed under your roof on Tuesday night. So say someone comes to your house tonight and stays and then goes home tomorrow, where do they do the census? They only want to capture each person once. It also gives them a statistic on how many people have house guests. Call yourself a mathematician? Pah!!
