It looks like the fellow has set off a trend-

And this is from people who have had houses underwater for up to 2 weeks and it may all happen again this weekend.

And I'm a negative for tonight. Have fun !

Possibly. Would you believe I am in Melbourne that week?

Ironically, I'm going to be in Melbourne this next week (15th-23rd February), then in Brisbane when you're in Melbourne. Pity!

Wouldn't it be easier to meet up for drinks in Sydney?

I know we have the FT AGM on Saturday 21 February and the AFF Golf Tournament on Sunday 22 February but there is another Brisbane drinks night scheduled for Wednesday 25 February 2009. I think rwatts will be up in Brisbane for that night and hope to see some of the locals, or interstate visitors, come along for a quiet drink or two....

We don't usually just have a drink or two.

It was good to catch up with a new AFFer in Nick.

Yes, I really wish that people wouldn't feed him. I was trying to encourage people not to - but he's just having fun with all the responses that he's getting.

Mind you, someone that goes to the length of doing mock-ups showing 1.9 million points earned is either really bored, or really just likes annoying people he/she doesn't know well.

I would go with the latter.

Woo hoo...we hit 300 pages (according to my page view anyway)...

Now so far behind the amex thread that we probably will never catch up.

Sorry I missed the drinks...got invited to the movies by two mates in my street and we wanted to catch up about our wives/kids/holiday stories...drank water instead
