Will be in Brisbane on the weekend of the 25/26th of July this year.

Attending a birthday party on the Saturday night, but thinking maybe Sunday afternoon (26th) could do something in Brisbane.

Any suggestions as to a pleasant location for an afternoon pud?

KK’s airport outlet?

Sorry I’ll be out of town at a bike race.

you’re not the first one to do that. my work here is done :)

don’t forget your snow shoes

I’d love to meet the Skeptics.

I’ll give a tentative yes to this. Depends on what my boss has in store for me (can’t knock back offered work when it’s so scarce). I’ll see him today, I’m expecting.

There’s plenty of places across Brisbane to meet, including potentially the V’s place. Where (suburb) are you staying whilst in Brisbane?

Will be staying at Tanah Merah on Saturday and Sunday 25th and 26th

One Tanah Merah?

You’ve had six months to visit me and you choose the week after I go back to work?!?

Skeptic Pete said:

Hmmmmm.

That’s a fair way south of Brisbane. Do you have transport?

Anyway, I spoke with the boss, and he doesn’t need me working in the bush that weekend, so I can come to whatever gets organised.

:)

Another thing about Bob Dillan, the great musician, poet and intellectual, was how his music changed after finding Jesus. He put aside his lascivious hedonistic life style to follow the Lord.
His subsequent album Save was one of his semenal works.

Sorry wrong forum.

I could attend on a Sunday (probably)

Same here, as long as it didn’t clash with Mass.

Don’t Satanic Masses usually happen around midnight? Oh wait… you’re an Atheist, not a Satanist aren’t you? Sorry I find it hard to tell the difference.

There’s always time, any time, where people can throw off their robes and dance naked around a bonfire.Midnight is traditional, but I can dance around with naked women at any time.

Oh, I knew very well what I asked.

OK. I’ll red card myself…

But, was it a clever use of the language?

Damned by your faint praise, I think. I reckon it was a bloody good effort for me…

I thought it was perfectly appropriate

Bump. Any further developments?

Hey Michael.

We’ll still be in Brisbane on Sunday.

Will have a dog with us, so thinking a dog-friendly park somewhere?

I don’t want to put anyone out.

I know nothing about that area at all, sorry. ms suggested something IIRC.

Wrong. 40 km. Sorry.

Nearly as big as Texas.

Is there a pub down there that has a recommendation as OK? I mean, a man’s not a camel…

I’m sure there is Michael, and I’ve just been informed the dog can be left with our friends for the day, so a pub sounds good.

As I’m not a local and not familiar with the area, and not sure who wants to attend, I’m happy to drive to any pub you guys want to pick.

Another possibility is to bring a bottle to our place. It’s pretty central (well, inner southside, anyway). We’ve had some good puds there over the years.

Who else in Brisbane will put their hands up?

(Yes, I’m looking at you, PWM.)

I’d try and make it but I’m really under the pump work wise, I reckon next week end will be the crescendo for this job with a Monday deadline, I’m already two weeks behind.
We’ll see.

Bugger.

So, who else is putting their hand up to meet the Skeptics?

True, but he has been following the Ashes, staying up late and stuff. I’d reckon that’d have to bring him back into positive territory.

definitely working on Sunday afternoon; I’ll be at the airport store.

Do you have a vehicle, or the use of one whilst you are in Brisbane?

Also, I had a look for a tavern or pub around Tanah Merah last night. The local pub got the thumbs down on reviews. The Golf Club a few suburbs across had one OK review.

Michael V said:

Yes we’re driving our own car.

OK. I don’t know howw many other people will make it – Brisbane is notoriously bad for its Pud turnouts, even when people say they can come, they often don’t.

So, let’s say my place, Moorooka, starting at midday, Sunday 26 July, then onwards until the last person goes.

I’ll cook a pot of something flavoursome to eat.

Tonight I’ll send out some emails to people around the place, and hope I can get some more people to come.

Does that work for you?

If I was in Brissy, I’d Meet The Skeptics. Maybe I could send a family representative? Oh, wait. That sounds vaguely threatening ;)

How many reps are we allowed? I can send the born-again Christian, the Artist or the Anarchist. Oh, or the Christian’s daughter – the Gothpunk something or other.

my family isn’t that big… can I borrow one of yours?

I wouldn’t mind coming Pete. But BrisBane is just a bit far to travel.

Feel free to drop in here though.. I’m only 30m from the Grafton turn-off.

I’ll swap an evangelical brother for a little sister. Always wanted a little sister.

Then that would be the artist. I think. She’s younger than me. The Christian female is older and the Anarchist is my brother.

As I said to Arts – take them all. Please.

no thanks.. I was just going to borrow one.. but if there’s a keep clause, I’ll pass. if I wanted more permanent family I would have made some more :)

Notices sent. Pete (et al), you have mail.

C’mon, Brisbaneians – welcome Pete in style. Bring yourselves, bring your partners, bring your friends, bring the derro from down the street…

You all know that if you don’t come, I’ll have to drink your grog and eat your portion of food. And, that’ll become ugly…

They don’t come to my place. They used to, but they learnt that it wasn’t profitable.

Still on for tomorrow Michael?

Avoid the soup. Especially if it is looking at you.

Avoid 1005. Especially if he is looking at you.

Some cockroaches came into the feed of an ABC journalist, they were in the Pork Dumplings, apparently.
Made the news.

i wouldn’t know. still has a long way to go before it is as good as the cat in the shark suit riding a roomba. or the dog fighting a lobster with a wooden spoon. (the dog has the wooden spoon not the lobster)

Unfortunately I have to make the responsible decision and preserve my better condition for the next week. Otherwise I’d be on my way over to Moorooka.

I suspect four plus deefer(s).

Rest assured you were all talked about in your absence.

So was I right about the attendees?

Skeptic Pete said:

None of it’s true, and anyway they cant prove it.

Mr and Mrs Skeptic Pete, Spockie, Bill and us. I had a terrific time, thanks. Fantastic to meet the Skeptics.

But I drank too much after everyone left. Mrs V kept opening bottles of red. Feeling a bit second hand now. Better get to the washing up, then finish packing the car and trailer and get back up to Rainbow Beach some time today with the next load of stuff.
