I'll bet they are all piled on top of Ned's stool, the one with the wheels and the GPS.

Mandy, the Bubble Sisters, and Monique are pushing the stool up and down the street as a Chippie tries to read the GPS.

Not a pretty sight.

As there are no RP's there, they are hopelessly lost.

Wish I was lost with them.

Buck,

Well desribed old son, contemporaneous notes were taken and will be used to flesh out future performance evaluation reports and/or Post Action Reports.
A great day which incorporated just about everying that means 'old sailor' although a few things got left out - nobody got lost, nobody got barred from any venue, no lewd or lavicious behaviour, nobody did the dance of the flamers and nobody got arrested - at least not up to somewhere past 18 o'clock when I abandoned ship. Just a great day of campanionship, cameraderie, good conversation, good food and a fine variety of standard and boutique ales.
The hole in the pocket will heal and I look forward already to next years' outing - and Rick has suggested that next year we should run between pubs - that stretch between the Captain Cook and the Australian doesn't look good though.

Mark

They call them self sailors?

If what Mark said is true, for shame, for shame. for shame. No lewd or lavicious behavior, might just as well stay home. Just sitting here, shaking my head, and crying in my beer.

Glad that you all had a good time, but I have to agree with Wayne about the lewd and lascivious behavior. We are all anxiously awaiting the pictures.

While you were wandering from pub to pub I was stuck at the Christmas party for the hospital where my wife works. Iwas thinking that at least you guys were having a good time because the party was boring as I didn't really know anyone and the music was so loud you couldn't talk to anyone anyway. It wasn't a total loss thouh as I did manage to get into trouble with my wife though by disappearing for a while.

I had noticed several Marines as we passed through the hotel lobby on the way into the fuction room. I decided that I should investigate the hotel bar and, as I suspected, there were the Marines. It was a lot more fun drinking with them in the bar than being at that boring party.

The Marines were there because their reserve unit has been acvtivated and they will be in Iraq by February. As the training facility does not have enough barracks for them, they are quartered in the hotel.

Now, how do I explain the $165 I spent in the bar buying these young Marines a beer when she sees the charge card statement?

Doing your patriotic duty phred, and having a beer with young Marines who may pay the ultimate sacrifice in doing their duty for their country. :supz:

Methinks it might have been mixing the butterscotch schnappes and baileys
with all the ouyzo and cokes, but dragging myself to the keyboard was just
not an option this morning... :type:

:drunken: Another ripper day, but like Ned... full report later this evening... :evil3:

Image

One of the many observations of the day was that the more pubs you got to,
the more your ability to read clearly was severely impaired...! :glasses7:

Image

(Dunno what the problem was, we only barely took up the space of a Subaru WRX,
and I thought we'd get a medal if there was one less Leb WRX in The Rocks...!!!)
:-k

If you had other photos of the day, e-mail them to me full size so I can add
them to the album I'll be creating tonight... :thumbright:
