One "l" Stroppy One!!! I recall you telling me that "attention to detail" was important in Chippies work.

Do you guys actually know what a "monkeysfist" is????

As far as "staircases" go ............ be prepared, this silly old Boilermaker Ossifer might be better prepared than you think!! If "it" goes bad or wrong for you, don't complain or moan...... or expect me to show sympathy!!!!!!!!!!.........on to the next pub!!!!!! :walk: :occasion5:

I mean, let's face it, if you try REAL hard, you could arguably think of a worse way to spend a glorious sunny :sun: Saturday than sharing

Col Kelson isn't on your list Rick and I did note that he has his accommodation booked.
Do we know is he bringing the "super sarge" with him? That will boost up the numbers, and the culture. :ok:

And today's morning programs are pointing out the impending chaos in the city with the relocation of the bus routes away from George Street (although it does seem to be flowing smoothly so far).

Likewise, part of George Street will shortly be traffic-free apparently, although they haven't said which bit. :dontknow:

Might be wise to plan your arrival at Jacksons on George beforehand with the above in mind. :ok:

A good point, Seejay, although it shouldn't affect those coming in by train from the North, or from the West, as they can get off either at
Circular Quay, or Wynyard Station, then it's a leisurely five minute stroll to meet up for our 10:00AM breakfast at 'Jackson's on George'...

Image

It won't worry Phred, Anne and I, we'll cab it into 'The Frisco' on Friday, ferry it into Circular Quay on Saturday, then bus/ taxi it home
Saturday night... Those staying in The Mariners using public transport will have to recheck bus schedules, or simply rely on a taxi or two...

"Monkeys Fist"? I do actually. On the end of our throwing lines (Dockyard). One would expect that they were also on the end of the throwing lines onboard naval platforms. Have never made one, though - riggers job :hi:

I stand corrected on my spelling :pale:
