Well, it looks like a stroke victim and a GDY will be holding the fort for the weekend.

Who would have thought that we both have speech difficulties!!!

Hope you all have a great time.

We are the only trust worthy ones capable of holding down the Fort. LOL

The scary part is that I'm starting to understand you blokes more and more each day

When I saw BC's and Wayne's regular daily posts in 'Quote of the Day' and
'Questions To Ponder', I was tempted to ask them both to hold the fort in our
absence, but though... 'They've both got initiative, they'll do it without ME asking
them to...' And you haven't let me down... :thumbright:

Thanks guys... :notworthy:

And what a fantastic run it was... :notworthy:

I know a picture tells a thousand words. so (as I intentionally didn't take my
camera with me this time,) I'll wait until Buck and Col send me their pics so I
can share the occasion with you visually, which'll be over the next few days... :thumbright:

In the meantime, I can share the 'Bingo Card' card with you, and that
alone should give you some insight into the fun day we had...

:type: Click on the card for a BLOW UP...

Keeping score certainly served it's purpose, even resulting in a dispute between
the 'Technical Officer's Writer' Dino, (who took over the scoring from me when I
discovered I'd lost the ability to draw a five-sided star after Pub #4,) and 'Mobes',
who was greatly concerned about Rob missing out on being credited with a
'bonus star' for an 'above-quota' drink... #-o

With no less than THREE Ex-MOBIs-turned-Policemen present, the issue was
settled like true gentlemen, with a 'Statuary Declaration' being drawn up (see
below,) and duly witnessed by the three 'coppers' present...! :lol:

:type: Click on the 'Stat Dec' for a BLOW UP...

Anyway Gang, like the rest of our dedicated troupe, I'm well and truly sh*t-faced :drunken:

and with another huge day ahead of us for The MOBI Yacht's 41st Birthday :occasion4:

tomorrow, I'm hitting the hay... :zzz:

I'll fill you in on all the rest of the details of
our BIGGEST and BEST Smokey yet, in-depth, tomorrow night... :wave:

Is this what is referred to as Police Verballing!!!

Brian,

It was all we could do at 16 of the after clock and after about 14 jars of neck oil. Please note standard of my usually fairly neat handwriting (I was a Scribe once you know) as shown in the Statutory Declaration.

Talk about your handwriting Mobes, check out my progressively deteriorating stars on the Bingo Card... :roll:

little wonder Dino stepped up to the plate and took over as my TOW...!!!

I've now got all the photos from Pussasan and Buck and I'll be posting them shortly... Right now, I've just got back from The MOBI Yacht 'Nirimba' Association Inc.'s Innaugural AGM*, 41st Birthday BBQ and Open Day for The MOBI Yacht 'Nirimba' and I'm stuffed, so after I have a reviving kip, I'll post them...

(*The MYNAI AGM was deferred to 11:00am next Sunday at RANSA as we had insufficient numbers to make a quorum today...)

Well Sue (My S.I.D.) & self were heading into the city about 1320 on friday when Seejay rang me to tell me we were late. He and Shep had already started the basin trial at the Frisco.
We arrived about 1430, then Charlie & Ellie arrived about 1730, and Rick some time later.
Much bullshit & fine fare was then enjoyed, as well as the obligatory schooners, before Rick, Charlie & Ellie called it an early night.
Sue pulled up stumps aboout 2100, as she was pacing herself for the RANSH run, as well as her mates Hens do.
Shep, Seejay & self were invited to leave when staff started packing up the furniture around us about 2330. From there I can say I remember how I go to my sleeping quarters, whilst apparently the same could not be said of the two chippies.
Saturday dawned, and Sue & I collected Dinophot when he booked into our pub, and we cabbed it to the Jacksons on George where the numbers were already swelling. Biggest surprise here was that Ned was EARLY.
After totally disrupting this establishment, off we went on the days fun tour.
Glen Friedrich brought the beautiful bride, Justina along. She had been worried about being the only female of the opposite sex coming along. Not a problem. Methinks she and Sue are now well and truly honorary MOBIs.
As stated elsewhere, we only managed to get lost once, and the miscreant responsible was duly issued his first?? yellow card.
We lost Sue about 1330 for her do, but picked her up again about 1700, after we hit the Orient. She had her mates in tow, and the MOBIs were joined by Mounted Police women. (Does this make us mounted MOBIs?)
The state of inebriation continued unabated till around the 2200 mark when there were only a couple of us left.
Went down to the yacht this morning, and there was a distinct air of lethargy abounding. Funny that.
I thought this was well and truly the best yet. Most in attendance, probably a bit more boisterous, and certainly not lacking in conviviality.
Only about 364 days or so to the next one.
Thanks to one and all who came along for making it truly a day to remember.
Cheers.

PS to above post,
Swag of photos sent off to Rick this arvo for him to do his magic with.
Cheers.

Boy oh boy, it's so nice to be home again, away from all those bad influences. :director:

I must inform all the poor unfortunate Skilled Hands members that were unable to make "the run" that I was the only participant that conducted his or her self with couth and decorum for the whole day. :angel5:

A great day was had by all with old and new "Rocks Runners" having the time of their lives. We spun a few warries, kissed, cuddled and licked each other, from one pub to the next. We laughed a heck of a lot and spread culture and goodwill throughout the Rocks.

Thanks everyone for helping to make it the best run ever.

May there be many more.

Gee it was BIG ! ! :roll:

I managed the course but had the "wobbly boots on" by about 1830. I suspect that it may have been the butterscotch schnapps (cant spell it but they were great) may have been my downfall

It had been a few years since I have participated, so I made up for it. Great Day, Good company etc. Thanks Col for kicking it off this time and to all those who made it a top run.
Not looking forward to the photos

Cheers Dinophot
