Is there anybody going from up my way in Newcastle that could give me a lift down or is there anybody going from the Sydney area that might have a spare couch or matress onthe floor so I can enjoy a few drinks without the worry of driving home... If not then I will be on the soft stuff but still having fun. If you can help my home number is 0249661180 or tiny@referral.net.au
Cheers

Well Hippy Chippy, just had a look at where you are going for the get together. Looks just like one of the runs I was always doing back when I was in. I always started off at the Brooky. :D

But :( :( :( you lucky people, wish I could join you all. Would love to be there with you. But i will be in Brisbane still working. So I hope you all enjoy yourselves.

Dino, won't be the same without you... :cry:

Burgo, unfortunately, Ned's staying in the only spare floorspace in my small pad, or should I more correctly say, when he folds out the 'nite'n'day' the won't BE any floor space... :cry:

Muppet74 is also looking for a place to plonk his head, perhaps you two could 'let your fingers do the walking' and share a B&B or a twin in the city somewhere... :D You might want to 'PM' RogerF to find out what he's doing... :roll:

Sorry, but as I don't 'overnight' in the city, my local accommodation knowledge is no more informed than you guys... :?

:cry: Damn and double damn! Sounds like a great run down the Rocks Rick and Ned. I note that there are none of the "fairer sex" from the site attending ... :lol: It is not often we get to catch up with friends from the site(s) visiting from overseas. Never mind! Notice is too short to make arrangements now ... perhaps next time.

Spent many a Sunday afternoon at the Obby (Obeserver) in the late 80's, watching "Larnie" entertaining the troops and public alike. Heard a rumour that "she/shim" was an ex-Stoker (???) :shock: :shock: :shock: At any rate, Larnie provided a lot of laughs and was sad to hear of his/her passing some time back.

Doubt if I could keep up with you lot at any rate if you are either marching (yeah right ...), or "doubling" (ha ha hardy har har - excuuuuse my skepticism). My feet are still giving me curry two months down the track :( :( :( However, will be starting rehab mid month and hopefully that will get them on the road to recovery .... quicker!

Hope you all have a great time (you bunch of old codgers) ... perving on the locals (girls I hope :shock: ), and hoping to raise a reaction (the question is ... from who??? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ). Seriously ... have fun and pace yourself on the Ouzo's Rick!! :P

Cheers 'n beers,
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Good luck on the run, boys.

Here's a suggestion for the next one.

Saturday, 6th March, and I'll fly down for it. Been many a long year since I had a run in Sydney Town. About 24 years, by my reckoning.

Any takers?

Cheers

Thanks Rick,
Have you arranged an "escort " for " Ned on the red ". I'm bloody glad he is staying at your place and not mine L.O.L. ! ! ! . I thought I was an "OD Screamer " but he leaves me for dead, but one of the nicest guys I have had the opportunity to meet.
Yes....We haven't yet had a lady join us for a " run ". I think we should work on this. It would put some class and decorum into our "events".
Have a great day guys........I will be thinking of you all....on Sunday when I get up without the........What the F#@K did I get up to yesterday ! !
Cheers Dino.

I have to drop my daughter off with the Naval Cadets at GID 1030 Saturday morning. It will be the last time I see her for three months so I will be at the Brooklyn around 1100 ready to burn and turn. Wife says I am not to come home until Sunday.
