MELBOURNE Dinner for our London Expat friend - Mal: Thu 11th May 2017 @7pm

[serfty]

Long term AFF member Mal who has made the UK his home for much of the last decade is in town later this week.

Many of us have caught up with him when visiting the ol' Dart.

While a dinner has been organised elsewhere for Friday night, I can't make that so I am catching up with him at Tazio 7pm this Thursday.

Any and all are welcome to join; just post here/pm me so I can arrange you a seat in the booking.

Italian restaurant Melbourne CBD - Tazio Birraria Pizzeria & Cucina

I can't go, but I think the 17th is Wednesday not Thursday.

You are correct - it's actually the 11th.

Mal is the real social butterfly with at least 2 dinners in Mel (11th and 12th), one in Bne (15th) and another in Syd (17th)....hope he has got a good diary and remembers to turn up for all of them

I hope he is sleeping now in preparation for the coming week. This after flying what is currently the longest RPT service route in the world (16+ hours), it's scheduled for over 17 hours on the return.

 

[Hvr]

Can attend for a short time since I'm starting work at 2200 that night.

Look forward to catching up with Mal again even if only briefly.

 

[penegal]

A firm "Copper" for me.

I am flying in that evening, and probably wouldn't be in the city with adequate time to warrant meeting up.

But as always, it may work if I get an earlier flight.

[Cruiser Elite]

Oh bummer - will be in n PEK on 11th - would have been a certain starter.

 

[straitman]

I need to skip Thursday but will be there on Friday if I survive the experience of getting my Chinese Visa.

If Ya's there then Ya's there.

I will text you when I land, but I know you have a long way to get home, so I suspect I may be dangerously close to your departure time. In any case, I hope to see Mal at one of the many events.

 

[serfty]

I'll be leaving from work about 5 45pm. ..

I expect to be there before 6:30pm.

 

[Mal]

I'll see what I can do to arrive soon after.

 

[Hvr]

1830 is good for me to arrive.

 

[Goodonya]

If Ya's there then Ya's there.

And if Ya's coughmin' then Ya's coughmin !
And I'm a coughmin (not necessarily in the biblical sense) :shock:

G'day Mal. I'm not too late for this am I?

Good on ya for making the time to attend! See you there.

 

[Goodonya]

A few minutes away. Is there a booking under serfty?

 

[Mal]

I'm about 5 away, hang outside and I'll meet you!

 

[serfty]

Goodonya and I are here ...
