Footy! AFL 2014

[cove]

Mrscove will now get to Southbank by about Friday 5pm provided the stars align. First it was Tuesday avec moi, then Thursday evening and now Friday.
Any ideas of where to go? I know very little about Melbourne but a taxi can usually fix that.

I don't do restaurants in the CBD much these days so can't really assist.

So I'll leave it to those closer to the action.

BB needs close to center for skybus with 8am flight Sunday.

Paging penegal for ideas.

Re: The totally off-topic thread

I might go skiing and hang out with like minded people. Shouldn't have any lift queues to worry about.

Will there be any snow?

Us fair weather skiers have given up in Australia ages ago

Actually the silence from pennygirl is deafening! Are you not going digger?

Sorry the subscription on this thread vanished...


As I posted in TTOTT:

Indeed, digging holes is far easier for me to understand cove.

Are you going to the GF? I am thinking about it, but I missed out on a reserved seat, so I would need to "hold up the bar" if I attended.

Who, what, when?

 

[Bundy Bear]

Who, what, when?

Suggest a drinking location after the game and then dinner, you being a sometimes local would have some ideas.

OK trying to get you dudes organised is like herding cats.

Here is 1 suggestion - we could meet at the Amber Room at Royce Hotel on St Kilda Rd - Google it it's close in to city. We could enjoy a few convivials there and we could walk to The Olive Tree after that. That is my first suggestion - at least we can get to enjoy CUB beer and eat at Melbourne's best value restaurant - it is where we ate last year guys. (Who knows - the human headline may also be holding the fort at the Amber Room as it was one of his usual hangouts - not sure if he is back on the sauce or not)

I will have my niece with me again - I'll email her and see if she has alternative ideas.

If any other suggestions / preferences for say Southbank than I am cool with that - post away guys.

OMG - I know this dude is an important man but flying in to MEL this morning his own personal security team just takes the cake!

Cruiser that could be a good plan and the herd of cats will go with the flow.
Are you doing SQ Suites out of LAX?

Nope - I am sitting in my office in MEL typing this - flew back overnight in J on VA - will post report before weekend if I can.

Consider this cat herded ... the Royce is an easy tram ride from town ... (or walk if that's your thing ...)

So you would choose to go out with your flog mates as opposed to joining this list of intellectual giants in immediate previous post?

 

[penegal]

I will be able to do the dinner, but not 100% sure about drinks.

What time is the reservation?
