Hi Guys,

The first Saturday in July should be OK for me, I'm 90% sure I can make it, even though a lot is happening at the moment, what with a new partner in my life and moving her up from Melbourne. I will move "hell and high water" to be there and keep you reprobates out of trouble. :rip:

Rick, can you plot this lot on a map or do you need it faxed to you?

The good Chief Writer is currently burning some leave and will return towards the end of the month. Upon his return I will propose a strategy meeting to be held on a Friday arvo at "Krusties Korner" aka The Bells Hotel; a known watering hole for older sailoring men - like Reservists on CFTS and the like, to work out starting time and place and which of these salubrious premises we might need to leave out.

Over to you Blue Leader,

Mobes

Cor, luvaduck Mobes... #-o there's no way I could pick any one of your options... [-(

(Of course we could always go round 4 times, I guess...!!!) :-k

Matey, as 'the local Balmain boy', plus one of the itrepid trio who test-drank :partyman:

their way through most of the pubs you've listed, I'm more than happy to let you, Stew and Buck pick the best selection, then I'll have a go at the mud map from there... :evil3:

You've been on enough runs with us to know what we like, nice :thumbright:

pub, good cold beer, :drinkers:

easy walking :walk:

distance between drinks, throw in a bit of eye :love1:

candy, a band :rock:

or two, that always enhances our thirst... :occasion5:

And don't forget the plan (timetables) to ferry back to 'Jackson's on Geoerge' or 'The Orient' for the public transport access... :thumbright:

Gotta give everyone the opportunity to f*ck up at least once Tafmo, (we did with you, remember...?) :-k

And I must add Matey, we have never looked back...! :finga:

Time to give Petels the chance to come in from the cold too, methinks...! :-k

tafmo · **Posted:** Tue May 13, 2008 3:38 pm

I wasn't thinking about Petels coming in from the cold Rick :roll:

........I was just thinking about how you guys were going to get out of the slammer... :shock:
