Oops, cut and paste without adequate editing. Should be in a fortnights time. :-|

 

[Bundy Bear]

I have made a post in FT about it.

Just thought I should give some people a weeks notice.

I have added it to my calendar, if I am invited?

I shall be there to meet everyone for the first time. Shame I can't fly in. Does anyone know when Jetstar will start flying OOL - BNE?

Is there a train station nearby, that'll help?

It is a 4-5 minute walk from Central train station, coming from the Gold Coast is a bit far for a drink; dinner and a chat, but I have gone to Melbourne for something similar but that included a bit of flying. :shock:

Hmmm, you must have read my mind about being an unlikely attendee JohnK.

Quite likely that I'll be in Sydney on that day (and possibly staying overnight), so I may be either toasting you in a QP, and/or on a plane, or in a hotel room.

 

[munitalP]

Sorry, no go for me - if anyone wants a warm up tho, I will be in Rydges southbank on Tuesday night!

LW - I'm on a 5 or 6 PM to SYD - QP?


Mr!

 

[Mal]

I didn't mention whether they were pots, schooners, bottles or jugs ... but I assume you can work out which

I'll see your 3 drinks and (anti-)raise you to abstinence from alcohol.

But who could say no to a catch up with friends anyway? Just hope my confirmation document is sufficiently complete then so I can pull myself away from the office.

I will get them to prepare the yard glass for you.

Mal is turning 21 on the 22nd? Happy Birthday Mal! :mrgreen:

I was at a 21st once where no one bought the birthday boy a yard glass shock... they resorted to using - wait for it... a condom which they ended up calling a "FLEXI-HALF YARD"

Haha, sounds interesting. However knowing what happens when you fill a condom up with water, that'd be very hard to drink out of successfully.

I had my 21st in 2006 and didn't have a yard, however I did put a $400 bar tab down and didn't leave till the pub closed. So I reckon I probably drank more than a yard, but spaced out over the night. Ahh, Guinness!

[JohnK]

You guys are depressing me. I feel like an old man already....
