Brisbane drinks 26 May 2010

[JohnK]

This drinks night is also the date of State of Origin game 1, in Sydney. So I assume they’ll have it on the TV’s and it might be a little busier than normal.

It will be on the big screen.

I have no interest in state of origin.

So you won't care if Queensland win.

Just buy him a few drinks and he will probably barrack for QLD.

But they might have drink specials through the game!

There have been times where I have supported Queensland (Fatty Vautin comes to mind) when I lived in New South Wales.

Buy me a drink and I will cheer for anyone.

But they might have drink specials through the game!

Now you got me interested. Perhaps $2 pints until the first try is scored. Anyone for 0-0, 1-1 or 2-2 draw?

It could be a cheap night.

Cheap drinks ? (Adams ears prick up)

So that’s your name… and your weakness

I'll buy you a VB and you can cheer for the Storm! lol!

Lol. At least Aussies aren't too bad at accepting opposition supporters. Can be pretty dangerous in some places!

BTW, how much is a pint/schooner these days at the Mill?

Done.

I can understand it happens in Europe and possibly the USA and Asia but in Australia? I don't take spectator sport that seriously anyway. I prefer to participate and not idolise strangers.

BTW, how much is a pint/schooner these days at the Mill?

Don't know about pint but schooner of xx_X Gold is $4.20 which is good value.

Just updated the thread on Flyertalk.

More just to tell people that we still hold them and if anyone is in town at different times of the year we will organize an official Brisbane Gathering.

Wasn't sure if the other 2 have FT accounts so I just added Nlagalle + others.

Put me down as a probable-maybe

Are you guys ever going to have drinks on a weekend?

No one is ever around on weekends.

If you are planning to come up on a weekend then let us (me) know and we will schedule a special drinks night for visitors. Do you have a date in mind?

Mid-week is actually a pretty good time as it makes you think about the consequences should you have work the next day, so we don’t go too overboard

But like JohnK said, if you’re in town, I’m sure some of us could come see you for a special drinks

 

[whereishome]

Three weeks to go - seriously?!?

 

[samh004]

Three weeks to go - seriously?!?

I know, it’s a hard life!

You’ll just have to drink at home till then

I am looking for a reason to travel before the end of June to take advantage of a) double SC's and b) hilton fast track to gold

Hilton fast track? Through Hilton racing? I have been thinking about doing this again as I have just been dumped back down to Blue.

Seriously June is not a good month as both samh004 and myself are overseas for a good portion of the month. I leave from BNE ~midnight Friday 11 June and I think samh004 leaves a week later. I don't know the movements of Bundy Bear or Anat0l.

Let me know if you organise your flights and accommodation and we can see if we can organise something for you while you are up here.
