Brisbash 08' or is it?
 

I know...earlier than most years to be posting this, but I figure, why not!

2 Date options

December 13th Saturday

December 20th Saturday


I'm thinking we should change venue and city this year :E

How's Cairns sound?


And if that doesn't work, then its the Breakky Creek - the one place in Brisvegas that keeps taking us back year after year ;)


If you have not been before, this is a 'tradition' that started in YMML in 2002 I think - all welcome!
It's Festive season drinks in a casual setting and the food's good :ok:

You can register your intent here.....hopefully I've not lost my 'pull' with the bosses and they let the thread live :ok:


Cheers!

GG

Me be there.:D

Either CNS or BNE

tipsy

CNS ... that time of the year it could be 'cyclone central' ... plus its a little humid ........ but I suppose things are cheap in the off season :)

Not particularly likely!

Dr :8

Tradition is too easily lost......as are most ppruners!

Breaky Creek!:ok:

GG.

Early in December preferred - not 20th.

Please not the Brekkie Creek again...... :{

• Packed with far too many people for a country kid;
• No parking available;
• There was a ten minute queue to the loo last year; and
• Too noisy, couldn't hear myself think!

Any chance of a quieter suburban location this year, possibly one with accommodation - I'm tired of soft drinks as I'm driving? :{

I think you may attract a few more attendees if you found a better suburban location?

I'll go with the flow but how about a barbie somewhere? :confused:

Few suggestions;

Close'ish to the city

The Park in New Farm with the Brisbane Powerhouse and Watt Bar only being a stones throw away.

Eat and Drink - Brisbane Powerhouse
:: WATT :: modern dining

Public transport is not far away, plenty of accomodation either in the valley or CBD, with public transport making them easily accessible.

West

The Regatta hotel in Toowong, about 5Km's from the city with bus, ferry and train access very close.

South

The Pineapple hotel, Kangaroo Point, renowned for it's steaks. Haven't been there myself, but has a good reputation.

The Story Bridge Hotel, another good venue with accomodation and public transport being close by. Hotel Pub Food Functions Drink Restaurant Bar Brisbane, Queensland, Australia - Story Bridge Hotel,

Anywhere BUT the Brekkie Ck! Too friggin noisy for an old fart like me!

Dr :8

Cairns has new watering hole IF you go up there...
Blue Sky Brewery

Opened last week apparently, 5 beer varieties brewed on-site and the woody ale is rather scrummy (poured out of a wooden cask like the brekky creek front bar).

When one pees (male) one way glass has one looking at the beer being made (copper vats, plumbing and chaps beavering away). Rather bizarre IMO but different.

Ok ok......


Torres

I'd say 13th will be earliest in December it can happen.
As for venue issues - I hear you!

Ok, a suggestion;
As you know, I'm on Sunshine Coast just near Noosa.
Would gladly host said BBQ yet again! Yes, I really am that silly :ugh:

So, Saturday 13th December
GG's Place

Oh.....


*for Tipsy* honey...is that ok??? hehehehe!!


Cheers

GG

I guess that's OK.


One proviso though, take all the paintings off the walls before Wiz arrives.:eek:


tipsy:ok:

:D :D

I so pay that one!

Oh poor man will never live that one down ... we'll make sure of it :ok:
(You, me, OzEx and just about everyone else there at the time)

GG xx

He hasn't lived down his indiscretions from 2002 yet, as far as I'm concerned......:eek:

Exactly that to which we refer :ok:

btw Porch monkey PHONE CALL!! :=

Isn't it interesting that the gent(?) in question hasn't responded here to defend his dishonour! :}

I regret to say that 13 December isn't good for me. As you'll know GG, I've had some rather lengthy and unscheduled time off work lately and suspect that the boss won't be too happy to give me my normal time off for Chrissy and NY. However, even if that's possible, it won't happen early enough to meet the 13th December. :sad:

I'd been thinking in terms of the 20th of December, when I began thinking about my time off this year... before my urgent sojourn to CNS. :{

Whenever I call you wench, you never answer. Maybe I should hide the number...... That photo is but one, however, there is another face missing, something about a certain international visitor here at the time.....:E Maybe Wiz can fill in the holes.... OOOPs too late! He already did :eek:

Before and After photos?

GG. You set the date and I'll try to fit into the race! :ok:

Have just had phone call from a distraught OzEx
(once again...imbibing with Husband at local Jap Resty in Port Morbid :rolleyes: )

20th At GG's place......thats the final offer.

GG's current place of residence....about a hop skip and a jump from YMCY - literally :ok:

Gee...these guys have threatened to withold all income until I comply

either way I'm screwed :{


GG



porch monkey

:D :D :D
Oh my god...I'm still rolling on the floor laughing so hard that you are fogiven for the preceding dig at my communication skills :p

hey - instead of trashing your AU residence, why don't you all sojourn o/s and trash the new place??

Much better idea .. all the fun and no mess!! :E

alas, we have a prior engagement on the west coast on the 21st - so we 2 will be otherwise not there!! :{

Just spit-balling here but it seems a bit unlikely that Wiz will be at this bash. Maybe we can change his mind by assuring him that the attendance of overseas personnel will be strictly controlled.
(And then we welcome them all in great numbers, of course!) :E

So, GG, does this mean that I really MUST try to get the usual time off again this year? :uhoh:

I'm in........just need to make the roster work.

Been to 2 now - Mel and Cns both fun times.

Razor maaaate! I suspect that the CNS bash you're referring to was that impromptu thing when we ran into each other in the lobby bar of a well known CNS establishment. :} Still, we DID manage to get into the spirit(s) of the occasion so I'm looking forward to catching up with you again at MCY! :ok:

Oz, There was that arvo at the CNS aero club also.

and then there were drinkies in Sydney, Razor, when you were a PUIT.

ahhhh GG and Tipsy, or is it Tipsy GG ? either way, I regret to inform you that I shan't be in attendance. 13th - handbrakes birthday(well, 14th)
20th - back at work.

will have a drink for each and every one of you though....

Moi? never!
Appalled you would suggest such a thing......Like I'm ever only tipsy! Ha!

So, I see the usual list of 'I won't' attendees is growing! :p

What's the bet porch monkey has some you beaut excuse...

:rolleyes:


I'm going back to bed grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


GG xx

That must've been a good one Razor... I have no recollection! :} :ok:

Well, newish job and all that, I don't know how that's going to go...... And bidding for MCY is pointless, as we don't o'night there. However, I have been "informed" that a visit otherwise might be in order, if for nothing else than to show off the new "investment" :hmm: Personally, I don't see the need, but if you promise to pick me up from the airport, we might find our way up there shortly. Over to you, wench.:suspect:

Who went off for a weeks holiday and forgot to take her phone charger.


Closet blonde:=

tipsy:ok:

She better not be down south without calling......:suspect:

no...she was with many other women relaxing without husband's children, phone's or TV.......bliss ahhhhhhhhh

Besides, Hervey Bay, The Fraser Coast, it's not like it's that far ... like New Guinea or something :rolleyes:

I'm all charged up now!

Ok porchmonkey; you land, I'll score; score on both counts - landing and size of investment :D :E

GG x

Can't do that GG, Captains only there!.......... I get to score!:eek:

GG you crazy gal, still hosting?

:ok:

cheers
coco

Wow...now there's a name I've not seen for a while.

Would love to catch up again one of these days...oh here's a funny

Oh so scary - thank god I no longer look like this!

coco

It is with sadness I have to inform that due to unforseen cicumstances, I will have to pull out of all involvement in this years Bash.
I am sincerely sorry to all.

Not sure where this leaves it so if anyone wants to put up a hand and take over - go for it.

Regards
GG

Is anything planned for SYD? Would be interested to join :ok:

It deeply saddens me that GG has pulled out of this year's event. As a result, I too have pulled out so I believe that, for the first time since... what? 2002? :eek: There won't be a Brisvegas Bash this year... :{:{:{
