Here comes Sunday...Probably the most anticipated day all over the world...For school kids the day to get out and indulge in some sport (wonder how many still play on the streets after Computer Games took over), For the beautiful women to get out and let loose on swanky streets for some great bargains, for the men to sleep on and on. Its a day which everyone waits for, the ones who have a 5 day week for getting their rest , and those with 6 day weeks to get rid of their hangover...
