Here I am in Sydney, I didnot realise the Rock's get together was this Saturday. I really planned that well. If you wont to kick me you can, but be gentle as I don't like pain. Enjoy the day people, and remember you are not as young as you used to be. :drinkers: :drinkers: :drinkers: :drinkers: :drinkers: :drinkers: :drinkers: :drinkers:

Spud, I'm beginning to think you couldn't organise a bonk in a brothel... =;

You're in Sydney at least one day a week, yet you haven't touched base, you haven't organised that THIS week, your one-day-per-week visit should be on this Friday or Monday, so you can crack it for the Pub Crawl... And you wanted to check out the yacht...? :-k Were you the guy that fronted up to RANSA yesterday and said "Can I have a look at the MOBI...?" #-o

Spuddley... [-X Get your sh*t together my lad, we can only help you if you ask for it... :-#

Nothing like getting there early CJ....you making sure you get the best seat in the house are you :D :drinkers:

I heard that Ned and Chippy had already put their names on theirs - you won't have trouble finding them.... they are the ones with the wheels on so they can be pushed from pub to pub......Ned's has the GPS attached to it so he doesn't get lost :dontknow:

Have a great one guys and have a few for me too :partyman: :drinkers: :drinkers:

Cheers

Or so I thought, [-X but not according to DeskJockey... This e-mail from Paul... #-o

"The mud map is very good but you have the Australian and the Glenmore arse-about. Further I don't think there is pedestrian access from the western side of the Bridge directly to the Australian. My experience tells me you will have to either double back around the Harbour View or go down the Argyle Cut and come back up again.

Looking forward to seeing you there."

I guess the proof will be in the pudding...! At least we'll have NEXT year's mud-map and route spot on...!!! =;

Sorry we'll miss your company this year Roger...! :-k

This arrived via e-mail today, great little tool that unfortunately arrived a little late for our Pub Crawl...! :-k
