Wayne, how far are you from Cape Coral?

Meat Pies

Fred, that's all pommy stuff, and we all know how weird they are! :roll:

The only people that can stomach pommy food are the Scots, because they're even weirder!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

The pies over here are a real adventure within themselves, made even more so by the adding of dead horse (red tomato sauce) or real mushy peas and black plague (hot black sauce). :wink:

It's been said that a maggotbag a week eliminates the need for penicillin, scares away dropbears, long-clawed wombats and red kangaroos, and inhibits the growth of agapanthus. 8)

Breakfast of champions, eh? :D

Mind you, it hasn't helped any of the tiffies.............. :-k

Chris, I am afraid that those pommie pies are the closest thing we can find over here.

By the way, do you think if we call this place up we should tell them we want pommie pies? Or would they be apt to hang up on us?

Fred, when they answer, just tell them an Aussie mate of yours reckons no pommy bastard would be able to make a decent meat pie - seeing as they ran out of decent meat when we stopped shipping it to them!!! :D :D :D :D

I'd be interested to hear what their reply was! :wink:

Xmas pub crawl

Post by piquet »

If I am unable to make it to the rocks do am I able to "request leave with a substitute"

Currently my daughter is in Sydney at university doing a Masters course.
(before you all jump in she got the brains from her mother)

I might be able to convince her to go along to the crawl and may be the Sunday harbor cruise if there are vacancies

Cheers

Unfortunately I am going to be a late scratching for the Rocks run this year Rick. :( :( .

I have been doing some consulting work and they have just advised me of a change for some critical dates which will unfortunately prevent my attendance. :( :(

However, there will always be next year to look forward to. :D :D
I will be with you all in spirit (or red or beer depending on what your poison is). :wink: :wink: Have one or two for me. :thumbright: :occasion5: :occasion5:
