Have a great run guys 'n gals :drinkers: :partyman: :drunken: . Wish I could be with you and help carry Neddles home, but rest assured I'm thinking of you while I swill Heineken in my hotel room getting ready to head off for Madrid tomorrow on leave. I asked the missus to shave her bollard so I could pretend she was Neddles, but she wouldn't be in it................ :dontknow: :dontknow: Hell, if it's good enough for Sigourney Weaver............ :twisted: .......then again, I couldn't even get her topless in those skimpy little briefs designed especially for camel toes (or aliens).... :shock: :toothy7: :upy:

Rick's arrival

Post by Rob Hall »

For all Rick's paying out on Ned about not having to leave home until 1045, he was still well adrift at the start point. In fact he was the last one to arrive, so the walkathon didn't begin until he deemed us worthy of his presence.

And the defence was ........ not offered!

March in the guilty bastard. Off Caps!!!!! :D

I guess that the troops are currently on the water after Baroccas and

aspirin.

Wonder if they will get the sails up this time. They at least need to put

them up to shake out the spiders and crawlies that may have made them

home.

Standing by for reports.

2006 RAN SKILLED HANDS 4th Sydney Rocks Pub Crawl

Post by pussasan »

Well, The weekend got off to a flying start with me arriving at the Frisco for basin trials on friday arvo. Was joined by Shep about 1830 for a feed and a few more quieties. We were going to have an early night, untill I found out my surrogate illigitimate daughter was working arvos at the mounted police. She joined us about 11pm, and we stayed up drinking and bullshitting till about 0200. Then to bed to rest for the big day.
Come saturday morning, some of us turned up at the meeting point on time, and with the arrival of the last (& as it turned out, the 1st to leave), the magnificent seven made off on our day of discovery & adventure.
Everyone paced themselves pretty well, so we could actually remember most of what had gone on during the day of bullshitting, drinking & eyerballing the summer talent.
After the pikers shot through from the Orient, the fab four, Mobes, Ben, Shep & self adjourned to the Jacksons on George for a feed & top up. Left there after about an hour, and Shep & I made our way back to home base in Woolloomooloo. Stopped in at the Bells & then to the Frisco till stumps about 2330.
No major dramas as a result of the adventures, not too unwell, a lot bloody poorer, but what a great day.
Hope today goes as well for the intrepid seafarers on the yacht.
Have sent off all the phots to Rick for him to play with and download.
Have a good Christmas one and all, and start planning early for the next run.
Cheers.
Pussa

Who was the poor girl that Col and Shep were mauling? Couldn't have been a relative, she's far too good looking! :D :D
