Does anyone have the number of a good bail bonds man in Sydney?

Hope we don't need them this weekend but just in case LOLOL.

Well, the 'usual suspects' gathered at The Frisco for Basin Trials
earlier this evening, (well actually, this afternoon for some of them,) I just
hope that SeeJay, Col, Shep, Tafmo, Sue and Rhonda don't hit it TOO hard
tonight, [-X

tomorrow's the BIG day boys and girls... :partyman:

Col also managed to find a nother couple of Ex-Nirimba types at The Frisco,
a MOBI and a Muppet, both of whom promised to join us for the Rocks Run... $\:D/$

O.K., that's it for now... [-X

I'm off to hook up with the RAN Skilled Hands Drinking Team
for breakfast at Jackson's on George before we once again head out on our...

6th Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney
Rocks Pub Crawl Xmas Smokey... $\:D/$

Of course it won't be quite the same without Neddley... :roll:

... but we'll manage somehow... :roll:

Hippy Chippy · **Posted:** Sat Nov 22, 2008 10:32 pm

Well what a fun day that was, $\:D/$ but until the photos come in, I'm not going to give too much away, [-(

other than to thank :prayer:

all those who participated :3some:

and contributed to making it a great day to warmly remember... :notworthy:

I'd particularly like to thank those who travelled great distances to be with us which really added to our day; SeeJay from Cairns, Tafmo (and Rhonda) from Adelaide, Henry Schubert from Canberra, Shep and Howie from Nowra, Charlie from Newcastle and our newest 'ring-in' Warren 'Joe' Joseph, an Ex-MOBI from Brunei...!!! :shock:

I'd also like to thank Kara and Felicity from Melbourne, who, after learning that Col Kelson and I were both confirmed 'lesbians', immediately confessed that they were both raging 'poofters' and agreed to join Charlie and I on The MOBI Yacht ‘Nirimba’ for New Years Eve… :finga:

Quite a bit of the conversation of the day revolved around setting a fixed date each year for our Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Pub Crawl Xmas Smokey, to better facilitate forward planning for things like travel and accomodation, etc., but the general consensus was that it would be pointless to set a firm date until we could all be assured that it would clash with Ned's Golf Club Presentation Night... :dontknow:

I'd also like it on the record that I had [-X

absolutely NOTHING to do with giving out :-#

Ned's mobile number [-(

to the assembled troops so they could ring him at every pub along the route to remind him of the fun he and Ellen were missing out on... :finga:

I think the last straw for poor old Neddley was when someone :-$

(who shall remain nameless,) paged him at the Golf Club, in the middle of the award presentations, to ask him where the @#$% he was...!!! :dontknow:

Ah, Neddles, you won't do that again...!!! :finga:

A full report on the run (complete with photographic evidence,) will be forthcoming shortly... ...just as soon as I sober up... :drunken:

Tafmo and Col, were our photographers on the day; boys, can you send me your pics please...?? :thumbright:

Hippy Chippy · **Posted:** Sun Nov 23, 2008 4:24 pm

And looky here... :shock:

the first photos are in from Col Kelson and as the first
of many group shots, this one was taken at 'The Harbour View'... :partyman:

Click on the bar stool for a BLOW UP...!!! :finga:

L-R: Col ‘Pussasan’ Kelson, Warren ‘Joe’ Joseph, Henry Schubert,
Brian ‘Charlie’ Staples (rear,) Rick ‘Hippy Chippy’ Pengilly, Mark ‘Mobes’
Mobley, Steve ‘Shep’ Shepherd, Rob ‘Tafmo’ King, Dean ‘Dinophot’ Gedling,
Chris ‘SeeJay’ O’Keefe, and Howie ‘Hendo’ Henderson… $\:D/$

...and en-route from 'Jackson's on George' to the 'Man of War' Hotel... :thumbright:

:type: Click on Ned's sleeping bag for a BLOW UP...!!! $\:D/$

Thanks Col, I look forward to getting your CD with the rest of your pics... :thumbright:

Geez... bit quiet in here, :-k

Saturday's run seems to have taken it's toll on our participants... :partyman:

Must have something to do with all those 'bonus drinks' snuck in along the way... :roll:

...or maybe it was those yummy Butterscotch Schnappes Shooters at the Lowenbrau Keller... :thumbright:

...or could it have been the extendddddddddddddddddded :drunken:

session at The Orient to finish of the day...? :rolleyes:
