Primarily, due to Family background. Secondly, cultural set up was like that and tertiarily, I never felt any need/advantage to approach wine, frankly speaking !!

I did one year off alcohol!!! 15/4/07- 15/4/08

Not one drop! So proud of myself, tears are welling in my eyes as I write this.

Congratulations, but the month usually comes before the day when you write dates, no biggie. And again congrats and here's to another year.

Err...not in the rest of the world, LadiesMan. You Americans are just aberrations like that.

Think about it logically:

Day, Month, Year. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Gods_Mercenary · May 1, 2008, 06:59 pm

but you say may 1st, 2008

**Matt W** · May 1, 2008, 07:12 pm

Not always. The first of May, 2008.

Whatever, just my inferior American intellect rearing its ugly head, god we Americans are so pathetic because we do things slightly differently, we are soooo inferior, we are not even using the metric system.

Heh. All it takes is a moment to notice the Australian flag....and the realisation that the web is not an all-American show!

First, I rarely notice the flags, and secondly, why would I know or suspect that the month came first in Australia, you are turning what was originally a harmless joke for fun into something that is way out of proportion.

Quite a few people, actually.

Anyhow. Regardless, we're nitpicking.
