Balmain Pub Crawl

Post by Petels »

Since all the pubs mentioned are gay, and since all dudes who are going are gay, and since Bilges carney is gay (ditto shipwrecks, all bilge rats, birdies), I will grace the run in my lycra steppin' rig (negative chaps).

Gennelmens,

I would like to plonk for the first Satdee in July.

This will also double as a farewell :drinkers: with the good Chief Scribbler (aka the oldest Chief Writer ever to be in receipt of Sea Going Allowance :prayer: ) who concludes his Continuous Full Time Service contract a few days later 033102phone_1_prv.gif , and swallowing the anchor for the second time, will return to rural Queensland, pockets stuffed full of DFRDB dollars - never to sail the foaming seas no more.

Buck-A-Roo,

Nothing is ever wasted in the R.A. Glorious N - every askew situation becomes an ad-hoc training ground full of life experience. And we all know how good training is in grooming young sailors.

By amusing happenstance I am still in possession of reekonn-A-sauce (you know I can't spell reconnaissance) notes from the first exploration into the dark depths of Balmain and could produce an attack plan in short order but alas; no way to promulgate said OPORDER. (Warrick - are you listening).

Then we need to assemble a strike team of hardened veterans who are prepared to drink for The Cause and set a time and a date for the attack.

As earlier stated, it is my intention to spend that first Satdee in July with the good Chief Scribe anyway and what better send orf than with a pack of smiling ex-MOBIs.

Remember Micah said “because of this I will mourn and lament. To show my sorrow, I will walk about barefoot and naked. I will howl like a Jackal and wail like an Ostrich”. MICAH 1 V 8

Company Sales Conference? You mean that their selling your physical company to others! Sheesh, don't think anyone who knew you would want you in their company - especially the way you navigate mate! :D

Last weekend in June or first weekend in July would suit me.. got to get back from the UK before I can figure out which date would be best..

Buck
Despite Buck having been in attendance at most of our past RAN Skilled Hands Smokeys, and despite the fact that Ned and I both having photos of our various lifetime incarnations incorporated into our avatars, poor Buck :goodman: continues to get the two of us mixed up... :roll: So Buck...

...this is NED... Image this is RICK... Image

We even have a photo here from our 2nd (?) pub crawl showing (wait for it...!) [-X

(...front row, left to right,) :3some: Buck, Ned and Rick...!!! \:D/

Now back top the business at hand... I like the first Saturday in July (5th), and Mobes, if you're happy to draft up the modus-operandi, I'll be happy to pretty it up for posting... :type: (it's just that with my new job, I just never seam to have any free time any more...) :roll:
