Well worth the trip I heard considering the calibre of AFFers that jl got to drink with!

I'm thinking BNE drinks in NY penegal - unfinished business with the lagger man.

He actually lives closer to the Gold Coast, but I would be keen for some beers in the sunshine state

Not a lot of sunshine north of the border.

One of the biggest marketing cons of all time....

Were you planning to attend? I know you did it once but it is a long way to go for drinks! And with your luck recently probably a good idea to stay home.

The journey to MEL is very short & easily accessible though..
Yes, I was planning to attend the auspicious occasion for AIRwin. Though you're right.. My luck has not been favourable of late, despite visiting many places of worship recently for extended prayers.
Also due to the fact that this year, I have been (apparently) spending too much time leisure travelling & not enough in applying myself to work, business & other commitments. :-|
I tentatively planned to escape today to MEL..
The company would have been certainly pleasant & I'm always worthy of a good catch up session..
For this moment I've abstained from the opportunity as I don't want to spend any more time sleeping outside in the dog house.
Thanks for your pleasant remarks, wish the attendees a nice night with AIRwin & catch up soon enough.
Cheers,
jl

Have you been really praying or just visiting? There is a difference. Or at least that is what I am told.

 

[JessicaTam]

Great to catch up with faces old and new. I am now in the TRS queue seemingly with every passenger from every departing flight. Oh well.

 

[Hvr]

Thank you to all who came:
Hvr
Jessica Tam
AIRwin
ric_melb
Rox, and
CoolcatPhil

It was a good evening and welcome to Rox attending her first AFF event. She'll be back.

Good bye and good luck to AIRwin in BNE, we'll miss you here in MEL. Although, you do need to practise ordering your dim sims.

Finally, thank you to the Dragon Express Chinese Restaurant who whilst only accepting cash were more than happy to split the bill at the table.

Indeed a good night! And without going into detail jetlagger and Penegal both went the extra mile, to mine and ric_melb's benefit!

Thanks for having me HVR & thanks for putting on this event.
Apologies for my lateness , but I'm glad I made it!

Will have to catch up with you again soon HVR & continue our chin wag on Cathay!

Happy travels Jessica Tam, enjoy KL, certainly a great city, will be a few degrees warmer than Melbourne when you step off the plane! Looking forward to the the bash on the 21st in Melbourne.

A big farewell to AIRwin, will have to catch up when I'm next in Brisvegas, enjoy your move up to the sunshine state!

Sunshine? That's over the Westgate right? Sorry AIRwin - I would love to attend but I never venture that far from civilisation - over Westgate / north of Yarra / east of Warrigal Rd / south of Mordialloc Creek = no go zones for me!

Seriously I would love to come and say bye but have our Chinese manufacturers with me here for a few days so am tied up - please do try to be good though!

Over the Westgate? Pffft! More like either down Sunshine road, South Road, Churchill Avenue or Ballarat Road. You soft silver spooners and your freeways/tollways!

Ah damn, didn't read about this one until now. Hope you guys all had a good night.

Only just saw this thread now, but probably would not have been able to make a Sunshine do anyway. Will miss Irwin who has become a staple attendee at the MEL gatherings

There is always the 'Welcome AIRwin to QLD' do to look forward to.

Way too sedate an event for you Lawlass. And there were police* just outside the door in case anybody played up.




*PSOs but they look like police on a dark night. :mrgreen:

We promise not to corrupt him too much. :mrgreen:

 

[Rox]

Thank you all for being so welcoming. It was great to meet you all, and I look forward to doing so again!

Good to hear that Hvr didn't put you off with his puns. (Mine OTOH were brilliant so would never put anyone off).

 

[AIRwin]

This is most likely my last post from MEL... Sorry for the late reply as I've been busy packing. Thanks Hvr for organising and all for coming!

Have a good night. I'll be in Sydney, but will be in BNE on Friday if you need to be guested into the lounge

My flight arrives in BNE at 3 pm on Friday... What time will you be there?

Look forward to seeing AIRwin at BNE socials

Cheers, see you soon!

Unfortunately I have a regular commitment on a Monday night, and live right over the other side of town

Yoga?

And AIRwin, given you will be domiciled in BNE, maybe we will see you at the Flyertalk QF AGM (and the preceding Breakfast Creek lunch) in February?

I'll put that in my (currently blank) BNE social calendar!
