Sydney woodworkers lunch

[Wongo]

For those who works in Sydney CBD. Would you be interested in getting together for a quick lunch and gossip?

:cool:

[jmk89]

Sounds like a good idea.
Jeremy

[silentC]

Who are you going to gossip about, hmm?

[Tex B]

I'm in. I can suggest Haymarket Chinese on Sussex, half a block south of Bathurst. Good food, quick, not expensive.

Tex

[Wongo]

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)

[silentC]

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.

[craigb]

Sure. When?

My office is in Martin Place so China Town is a bit of a hike.

[Gumby]

BYO cat ? :D

[Wongo]

OK I will make the call.

What about Friday 12.15pm outsider Borders at Pitt Street Mall?

[jmk89]

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)?

[Tex B]

Can't make Friday. Any other day would likely work.

Tex

[Groggy]

I'll be in Darling Harbour from 14-16 Nov.

[bsrlee]

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:

[Wongo]

OK I will make the call.

What about Friday 12.15pm outsider Borders at Pitt Street Mall?

Actually I am pingponging on Friday. sorry my bad. :o

Let’s make it on Wednesday so Groggy can make it too.

jmk89, City Eats sounds good.

So is it a goer?

Wed 15-nov
12.12pm
City Eats (the restaurant in the City Hotel - Cnr King and Kent Streets)

[jmk89]

In the famous words from "Are you being served?" I'm free
(I must say that 12.12 is a very precise time!!!

[silentC]

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!

[Tex B]

I'll be there at 12:11 ish.

Tex

[Groggy]

So is it a goer?

Wed 15-nov
12.12pm
City Eats (the restaurant in the City Hotel - Cnr King and Kent Streets)
I'll do my best to be there but will be relying on meetings finishing on time etc.

Wongo see PM.

Darren

I agree. I think it's a disgrace that these elitists should ignore you in this very cavalier manner.:eek:

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.

[silentC]

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 ;)

[Wongo]

In (I must say that 12.12 is a very precise time!!!

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.:D

Let’s make it a great day for our Mexican friend Greg aka Groggy. :cool:

Greg, I will call you on your mobile tonight or in the morning. If you are coming from Novotel then I can meet you outside imax tomorrow.

[Groggy]

[Groggy]

Guys, I just read some information on my agenda for the next two days, I won't be able to get out of the conference until 1245 on Wed and 1230 on Thurs :(. Might have to develop a plan B.

[silentC]

Looking forward to meeting the Sydney mob
Watch out, they're a selfish lot. Sell their own grandmother they would...

[Wongo]

why don't we make it 12.41pm 25sec then? :D

Seriously 12.45 pm is OK with me.

[Wongo]

Watch out, they're a selfish lot. Sell their own grandmother they would...

I would give away mine. :D if I could.

[Wongo]

Guys, I just read some information on my agenda for the next two days, I won't be able to get out of the conference until 1245 on Tues and 1230 on Wed :(. Might have to develop a plan B.

Hang on I thought you get to Sydney tonight. So how do you finish at 1245 today?

[craigb]

I'm not sure if I can make it. I'll turn up if I can.

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

[Wongo]

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. :D

Groggy, it is your call mate. Tell us what is best for your timetable and we will be there.

[Groggy]

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.

[Wongo]

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.

[Wongo]

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

[Groggy]

I'll do my best to be there, sorry to mess you around.

[TassieKiwi]

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

[Wongo]

This is about as organised as the - well, something that is really not!

How would you do it then?:cool:

[TassieKiwi]

Oh no - much easier to be critical!

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.

[silentC]

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?

[TassieKiwi]

I guess they can orca a few beers and a feed.

[jmk89]

Wongo

Let's check what's going on tomorrow morning and I will make a booking.

Cheers

Jeremy

PS 12.45 is fine by me.

[silentC]

Then they can go and watch Free Willy. Sydney is known for that sort of thing :D

[Wongo]

Can you report back by 9am?

Don't let me down, you are the only lawyer I trust.:D

[TassieKiwi]

Yeah - they could flipper coin to see who's first.:eek:

[jmk89]

Wongo

I can and, so long as I remember, I will.

Jeremy

[bsrlee]

Wot happened to Friday? This Wednesday happens to be the day I'm 'on set' again, at Oatley in the mangroves being chased by sundry mozzies.

[Wongo]

jmk89, what is the latest?

So far we have 4 definites and 2 maybes.

Let's lock it in at 12.45pm.

[jmk89]

Table for 6 booked in the name of Wong at Eat City
Level 1
349 Kent St (Cnr King St)

See you all there

Jeremy

[Wongo]

You sure the place is not called eat kity?:cool:

[jmk89]

Scott

I'm sure if you place a special order for your feline favourite, they will accomodate you!!!

Jeremy

[silentC]

eat kity
There are other places in Sydney to go for that sort of thing, Scott. Walking distance from the CDB too, or so I am told :D

[Wongo]

Silent you are terrible.

[silentC]

Hey, I didn't create the place, just passing on the information ;)

[Groggy]

Guys - thanks for the (very rushed) hospitality! I got back just as the doors closed again so timing worked out ok. Great to meet you and put some faces to avatars. I thought the wood and sandpaper at the table was a nice touch!

cheers

Greg

[Wongo]

Pity you couldn’t stay for longer but it was great meeting you.

[jmk89]

Pity you couldn’t stay for longer but it was great meeting you.
I agree and it was great to meet theothers who attended. Let's make sure we do it (or have a Friday drink together) soon.

[Tex B]

But remember the deal. We can't tell the mexicans about the secret stuff we talked about after Groggy left.
