Sorry guys, I wont be able to get down for the run. Have the really bad case of the flu and as you know the only way to get rid of it is to give it to somebody else. I just know none of you want to help me out there so I will stay in bed.

That's it Rogers, I'm going to sort you out big time on Saturday, with so few of us going, you can't hide like a mongrel dog in the group. :glasses7: :grommit: 033102phone_1_prv.gif

I am very disappointed in the roll up, but we will laugh our way around the Balmain pubs.

At least with only a small group of you reprobates going, Balmain should still be standing after the run....... :supz:

Desirability as a favoured tourist destination will be tarnished for a few years probably, but it should ultimately recover. :shock: :shock: I guess I should send a letter of apologies to all the pubs.....well at least the first 4; you'll be pissed by then :drinkers: :partyman: :occasion5: :occasion7: :roll: :roll: .......for not being there to add some couth and culture to the event....... :tear: :tear:

Have a great run you pissheads...... :butthead: :finga: :upy:

Hi everyone,

Ellen and I arrived home today after spending spending three very pleasant days in Sydney. The Balmain pub crawl was pretty low key due to the severe lack of interest from the many Skilled Hands members who live in Sydney, but the five starters had a great day, with all of us finishing the run pretty sober.

The pubs in Balmain are not as old looking on the inside as the Rocks pubs, but the facades are quite spectacular. Thanks to Mark and Buck for taking the time to map out a great run, it's a pity more of our members didn't appreciate the effort.

I really hope that the Sydney members make an effort to come along and have fun and great reminiscing when we hold the "Xmas Rocks Run". [-o< [-o< [-o<

I am pleased to hear that it went off well. Ned does have an uncanny knack of behaving just when you think that there is a chance to catch him out. What a spoilsport he can be. Truly sorry I missed out on meeting the lovely Ellen. It would have been like taking candy off a baby to keep her entertained while Nevil Nedd swanned around.

:P :P :P :P :P 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) :goodman: :goodman:
