I'm looking forward to Sunday, after a lazy breakfast (probably interrupted by Kenny Caporn again) at the local chew and spew, Shep, Pussa and myself will don running gear and jog around to Barangaroo for a squiz, then jog back to the Frisco for a light and healthy lunch and a few glasses of "Old" and watch/chat up the locals passing by. Aaaaaaah good times!!!! :yess:

It is not ready yet Rick. I called in there a week ago and the rooftop spot is still being built. Bar food available at the counter on the ground floor but they can't seat all of us. (8-10 max)
Supposed to be ready late September.
From the look of the bar food, it is a higher priced pub.

Leave it a bit longer.

It does/will have a terrific view from the top over the park and the upper harbour (inside the bridge).
There is even a lift to get from the bottom to the top of the park in lieu of the stairs. Pete would appreciate that.
I'll send you some pics to post after I reduce their size. (5-11Mb each.)

Not sure about that.
I thought it was you that was concerned about being in the proximity of stairs. Particularly downward ones?
Or is that only when CJ is around?

If it's due to be finished by 'late September', that still gives them 5-6 weeks of 'wriggle-room' to get all their :shit: in the same sock
before we're due to arrive... and how much can a pie 'n' peas cost, anyway..? :dontknow: Worth a follow up call closer to the date, I feel... :phone:
