Sounds like a good idea.
Jeremy
Who are you going to gossip about, hmm?
I'm in. I can suggest Haymarket Chinese on Sussex, half a block south of Bathurst. Good food, quick, not expensive.
Tex
Great, 2 starters already. Before we work out where I think it is a good idea if we could indicate our office location. My feeling is Pitt Street Mall would suit a lot of people.
My office is at darling harbour (very close to QVB)
My office is in Pitt Street across from the Hunter Connection.
Can I suggest KFC at Ulludulla? Not that I'm a big fan of KFC but it will have to be quick if I'm to get back to work within my lunch hour.
Sure. When?
My office is in Martin Place so China Town is a bit of a hike.
BYO cat ? :D
OK I will make the call.
What about Friday 12.15pm outsider Borders at Pitt Street Mall?
So we bring our own sangers? Or do we go somewhere after meeting there? How about City Eats (the restaurant in the City Hotel - Cnr King and Kent Streets)?
Can't make Friday. Any other day would likely work.
Tex
I'll be in Darling Harbour from 14-16 Nov.
The Heritage Belgian Beer Centre in Harrington St just north of Wynard. I recommend the pot of mussels, with or without the mixed entree. Of course you won't get much work done for the rest of the afternoon.:cool:
Actually I am pingponging on Friday. sorry my bad. :oQuote:

Wed 15-nov
12.12pm
City Eats (the restaurant in the City Hotel - Cnr King and Kent Streets)
In the famous words from "Are you being served?" I'm free
(I must say that 12.12 is a very precise time!!!
I'm very disappointed that you people have totally disregarded my correspondence on this matter. It just goes to reaffirm my opinion of Sydney people in general. The sandstone curtain does exist!
I'll be there at 12:11 ish.
Tex
I'll do my best to be there but will be relying on meetings finishing on time etc.Quote:

I reckon we former Sydneysiders should have our own get-together so we can, in turn, ignore the buggers. :cool:
I'll see you at the Little Creatures Brewery in Freo on Friday.
You're on Col but I'd like to propose an alternative venue: The Cafe of the Rising Om in Pambula. BYO dreadlocks. They do an excellent nachos ;)
See I can’t type in Inglish nor can I type in numbers. :D 20 years, 20 bloody years of bloody education gone bloody wasted.:DQuote:

Darren, If you'd get off your butt and make that business trip to Sydney then we'd be happy to have lunch with you. :p :D
Yeah get off your butt. :DQuote:

If you guys are flexible enough to start lunch at 1245 on Wed then I should be able to make it. I have to be back by 1330 though.
Wongo, that should have read Wed and Thurs, oops, fixed now.
Hmm 0045 minutes will be just enough for you to stay for 2 minutes. It is quite a long walk.
Guys, we need to work out something very cunning very quickly.
OK may I present my cunning plan? :D
Wed 15-nov
12.30pm
City Eats (the restaurant in the City Hotel - Cnr King and Kent Streets)
Groggy, try your best to be there.
Craigb, you too
Silent, get off your butt :D
I'll do my best to be there, sorry to mess you around.
This is about as organised as the - well, something that is really not!
PS I love that Belgian beer joint.:cool:
If you want to meet somewhere central, how about Maldini at Salamanca?:p
How would you do it then?:cool:Quote:

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a bloody good idea to meet other BB'ers, and good for you to set it up. Always hard to allow for everyone. Maybe just set a date/time with a few day's notice, and see who can turn up?
Maybe you could meet for an early pot of mussels or pommes frites with mayo one evening at the Belgian place, say 6-630? no pressure to get back to work, only back to 'er indoors.
Hey, look up the top at the forum description. This forum is to "list your upcoming Woodwork and related event. For clubs, individuals, businesses, orcanizations, etc". Are any of you guys Killer Whales?
I guess they can orca a few beers and a feed.
