Very well thank you, although the driver seems to need to learn to be a bit more gentle with the peddles .... garage bill just in for new clutch kit + rear tires

I don't see anything wrong here? Clutch? Tyres?

Consumables my friend... consumables.

Always keep a quiet eye on the Oz section incase i get bumped down to the penal colonies ....

Is that a real possibility?
Apart from the lobotomised local road users 'tis a very nice place to be.

Your old lot BHP are shedding big time... that side of things are looking a bit tight at moment.

BTW Vanya, looks like they kicked you out of UAE just in time

You know, after a great time in Abu Dhabi 95 to 97 I was so looking forward to the Dubai assignment.
Crap place now and was very happy to see the back of it.

Disclaimer: There was a great bunch of PHers there though!

Tires old chap, Tires, we may be living in the colonies, but lets not forget our language

'suppose you are right about consumables, and i had managed 40,000km on that clutch too ...

Aye, BHPB are not having a great time right now! Never know on the Job front though ... could happen!

anyway, i digress, back to your curry lads.

40,000 klicks on one air cooled pork clutch...!!!

Sissy!

Yes the fish bit bothered me a bit too, but taking the ghey girlie veggie aspect into consideration I thought overall the Bombay was a bit more carnivorish (new word ).

Still, Delhi's fine if that's the consensus.

[Brainfartmodeoff] Okay so now its my turn. I just read the email again and we only have to choose from the banquet menu if we have a booking of more than 10. So far we have 9! Its only on bookings over 12 they get mardy about credit card numbers.

Having said that the banquet does look to be good value considering you get to try some of everything.

Is it fair of me to say "confirm your spot by close of business Wednesday"? That gives enough time to finalise the booking with them on Thursday.

[ajg31]

deffo for me, prefer to choose my own food rather than banquet but whatever happens

[deviant]

Are we going for beers first or meeting there?

[Vanya]

Wednesday cut off is fine by me.

Ok if they insist the whole group has to choose one menu I'll go with the Delhi so as not to cause ripples, otherwise I'll be splurging the full EXTRA 6 bucks and wallow in the luxury of the top menu, the Bombay.

I'll be so my alcohol consumption will be massively restricted, it won't however stop me from meeting up first for a .

[deviant]

Mad Monk again guys? 5.30pm?

[Vanya]

As in 33 South Terrace?

If so we'll be there.

[deviant]

Thats the one. Gives us an hour to get a couple of beers down before fud.

[Vanya]

Whoa... dunno about this!

Checking that website the place looks too chic or high end for us lot, no?

Where's the sawdust, stained beermats and old wrinkly hanging off a stool at the bar...

It gets quite busy on a Saturday so I'm not sure if you will find a seat that easily.

[Vanya]

OI!!!

[tim the pool man]

Back again briefly...

We're happy with either choice of menu, like the banquet style.

See you all at the Mad Monk . James I haven't found my Xpress yet to look for bands I'll have a look tonight

^^^^Guess who did not make it home last night

I think we are only going to have 9 people so we should be free on the menu unless everyone wants to share.

[toomuchbeer]

Can't make the meet before, so will see you all at the Maya. Wifey has agreed to drive too, so for me, no doubt followed by

Any menu is fine by us too.

Looking forward to it. See you at 6.30

[Della]

I definitely can't make it on Saturday as we're going out with the in-laws. (They're over from the UK on holiday).
Have a good night and I'll make every effort to meet up with you guys at the next meet.

[deviant]

Thanks for letting us know Della! I have put the feelers out for booking a morning at AHG so when I get a response from them I will post up here.

Table is booked for 9 at 6.30pm.

Now does everyone have the detailsof the wheres and whens?

[ghey]OMG what shoudl I wear and how should I style my beard[/ghey]

[Vanya]

What's the dress code... should I press the mankini?

[deviant]

I would think most of the eating / drinking establishments in freo would be smart casual or no sneakers.
