Melbourne Drinks - 29th May

[Keith009]

I think so. I was discharged with what sounded like a diagnosis of "don't know"

:shock::-|

Take care mate, I hope you're on the mend.

 

[notzac]

So where is everyone? If someone is here and sees an utterly confused person nursing a gin - that's probably me :|

 

[straitman]

Thanks for the text message earlier this evening but I/we finally got home from Oz Fest this afternoon so there was no chance of being there.

It will be nice to have a weekend at home.

You will have to think of a new signature.

 

[tuapekastar]

At home now, had pleasant drinks with munitalP (and Mrs!), notzac, QF009 (and Matt). Will was due to show up not long after I had to leave.

Hope this becomes a regular event.

 

[JohnK]

I won't be able to make this.

After a week that has included an ambulance ride, 10 hours in emergency blah blah blah, I'm taking it quiet for a bit

I think so. I was discharged with what sounded like a diagnosis of "don't know"

I sincerely hope nothing too serious and everything turns out fine....

 

[Will]

Will was due to show up not long after I had to leave.

And indeed I did - a few late toddies in the city followed the initial Royce beverages. notzac and I had the dubious pleasure of narrowly avoiding being burnt as the barman spilt a 'Blazing Prince Charlie' all over us - it was, literally, on fire at the time. Good times.

Not nearly as interesting as it sounds :shock: .. quite an impressive beverage when it stays in the shaker/glass! Hope your jacket survived the incident, Will!

A very good evening, and I hope we can make a regular event of it!

 

[Keith009]

Indeed, indeed a great evening was had by all! Thanks for organising, munitalP!

Though as I've realised a 2nd time, it's not good to have excessive pre drinks prior to going out for AFF drinks. :-| Wolfed down a double whopper at HJ's to soak up some of the alcohol prior to heading to the Royce. Unfortunately I had to bail early on the post-Royce drinks at 1806 after seeing my burger again with my head in the toilet bowl. :shock: Before I got to enjoy my Sapphire Cilantro (ie best drink at 1806 EVER) which the bartender wouldn't serve to me despite my best efforts to appear sober.

Yes we need to make this a regular event. Though next time at a place that doesn't take nearly half the time to make coughtails.

 

[samh004]

Maybe I should've come, coughtails and getting well and truly intoxicated in a city not my own is just my thing.

Winter is a busy time for me across the Tasman, so provided I'm not away, I'd love to join in next time.

Sounds like you had fun. Last time I was in MEL I used a pounder at maccas to soak up the alcohol, before sleeping it off on a metal bench in the airport.

 

[munitalP]

Thanks for those who came! QF009 + Partner, Notzac, Will, tuapekastar and of course Mrs muntalP. Great to meet a couple of new faces as well and please correct me if I'm wrong here, prior to Will arriving, the count was...

Beer, G&T and a couple of coughtails

Oh my God! We are soo bad! :shock:

And I think there may well have been additional drinkies as Will arrived - I seem to have developed a serious head trauma somewhere around this time as I dont seem to remember too much after that!


Mr!

 

[Keith009]

That chardy was awesome. Probably did me in for the night too...

Yarraloch, from Yarra Valley as I recall (and from a member of the ABC - Anything But Chardonnay - club, it was actually quite nice). As to which year, no idea!
