Likewise CJ; at some ungodly hour to get to Brisbane early. Spend a day there, stopping overnight at the Treasury which is dangerous seeing the Casino is there :rolleyes: , and then catch the Pacific Star on Saturday afternoon for a hopefully relaxing and enjoyable cruise.

Sorry that I'll be missing the pissup :drinkers: :partyman: , but I'll bet my liver isn't...... :shock: :P :lol: :lol:

Have a great reunion guys and gals, and try not to get into too much trouble. [-X

Take a travois for Ned CJ, he'll probably need one after the 6th beer..... :wink:

You and Rhonda will be missed Tafmo... for about the first two pubs...!!! :partyman:

:director: D'YA HEAR THERE...! Announcing a last minute Substitute Player... :evil3:

Simone's bringing the lovely buxom fellow 'Pirate' GDY Michelle :shock: Tissot (centre)
whom I've met, can vouch for, and I KNOW is a 'seasoned :drinkers: sozzler', a load
of fun, and will be a perfect replacement for Shirley MacLean, who's unwell... :cry:

Image

You've got to really admire Simone for her determination to keep the numbers intact... :notworthy:

Still... 18 pubs, 18 holes, with 18 players, pretending to be 18 again...! :supz:

Damn! Shirley Maclean isn't coming??!! She's one of my favourite actresses! :(

Tafmo, there's no way I'm going to drag Neddie around. He'll be up the front getting us lost as usual. :D

Well, as you know, I'm going to jump her sister at the same time, The "Pacific Sun" . She is a nice little girl who is going to ship me down to Melbourne for the "Cup". Along , of course' with my dear beloved wife. Ilona, she is coming along now she has found out that old Jaktar is going too. She thinks, quite wrongly , that if there is another expusser involved, then there must be bad and debauched times going to happen.

See you guys on Friday night, hey, hang on, thats tonight! I better get my skates on and get down to the station. C U soooooonnnnnn.............. :wave:

Well I just got back home from our 'few convivials' and a great meal in great company at The Frisco,
with Chris 'SeeJay' O'Keefe, Steve 'Shep' Shepherd, Brian 'Charlie' Staples and his lovely wife 'Ellie',
Col 'Pussasan' Kelson and Col's 'Illegitimate Daughter' who is a Mounted :shock: Policewoman... :salute:
:3some: :3some:...and she HAS a real name... it's Sue... :thumbright: And very :love10: nice too...! :notworthy:

An ideal 'primer' :partyman: to what's going to be a very full weekend, our numbers now swelling to 20...! :shock:

Yes, that's right...! Mrs Staples has kindly given our 'Charlie' her blessing, to start off the run with us at
11:00am, to at least get a few pubs under his belt before he has to join the 'Pacific :sunny: Sun' for their
Melbourne Cup Cruise, which sails from Wharf 8, Darling Harbour at 4:00pm tomorrow afternoon... :thumbright:



You can trust us Ellie... :roll: we'll make sure and let Brian go in time to catch the ship...! :finga:

ceeveedee wrote:Walking past the TV this evening, news time, I happened to hear there is going to be an extra heavy police force
in Sydney over the weekend. I don't know if it has anything to do with a few people we all know, having a bit of a
smokey in the town!!!!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :) :)


And you're quite right Coral, Sue informs me that there IS a dramatically increased Police presence at The
Rocks tomorrow... She's temporarily splitting off from us to hook up with about 30 :shock: other :shock: Policewomen,
who are also doing a Sydney Rocks Pub Crawl 'Hens Day' for one of their own, about to tie the knot...!

It's going to be a HUGE day, and I'll appologise in advance if it's a bit quieter on RAN Skilled Hands
than usual this weekend, with half of our prolific :type: posters off with us on the Pub :occasion5: Crawl...!
