Again Nev, Football plays no part in the culture of Australia? Do not packed stadiums every Friday/Saturday/Sunday and Monday play no significant part of our culture? Seems a bit strange that you suggest, in the past, that the likes of Bach are more significant to our culture than State of Origin or the AFL Grand Final. Sorry but I just can't grasp this sort or comparison from you or Marty. Perhaps I am reading the figures wrong?

Re: BLOW AWAY THE BLUES
My comment about Sir Les was only tongue in cheek .
Did I suggest that Bach was more significant than football to Australian culture ? Heaven forbid that I would be so foolish
Culture is a wide field and takes in many things. In Australia they tell us we even have multiculture.
I suppose many would identify with the late entertainer Don Lane who was a fervent football supporter and commentator. He was asked what was his religion ( he was Jewish ) he replied " That's easy, FOOTBALL "
