Boxing - Also Starring LeVar Burton

I didn't even think to google why they called it Boxing day until just now...

Boxing Day got its name when Queen Victoria was on the throne in the 1800s and has nothing to do with the sport of boxing.

The name comes from a time when the rich used to box up gifts to give to the poor.

Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants, and the day when they received a special Christmas box from their masters.

The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give Christmas boxes to their families.

Stupid sports, ruin bloody everything. Why can't you ask a question about something I know, like "EastEnders Christmas Cliffhanger" or something... :rolleyes:

Well would ya look at that! We were all losing our minds over it and it turned out alright for (almost) everyone!!!

I mean, there are no wrong answers, so you don't necessarily need to know anything about it...

Horse racing was the only one I knew of woohoo !

'Boxing' Day... haha, didn't even think that could be associated with the sport. It's a good thing- if I'd thought of another option I'd be in a straitjacket right now typing with my toes.

I want to know who the other ex-bookie is now too. :pac:

Please let tomorrow's question be 'what date does Christmas Day fall on' and give us some emotional stability.

I posted my answer early this morning and at lunchtime I actually nearly had a panic attack when I remembered all the horse racing that takes place on St Stephen’s Day. Thought I’d blown it.

Darts are the only sport I'd watch over the Christmas.

If I had Sky. Which I don't.

So I don't watch any sport.

Necro

You can all come around to my gaff and we'll watch the Darts after the Eastenders cliffhanger episode :P

Posy

Yaaaaaaay.

Ah Loughc, you know I'd love to but I'm scared of inciting this mob any more than I already have!

Happy Birthday though
