babylon · 7 June 2009, 08:07 AM

Sorry guys, Brisbane to Melbourne is a little too far for dinner and drinks, would love to go, but alas, can't make this one. Cheers. Now a Brisbane GTG is another thing tho!

Whaddaya say, guys?

I'm fine with it. Ask for a corner table if possible. I just have to remember to take my Somac beforehand.

Lol-x · 7 June 2009, 10:26 AM

Is that restaurant expensive?

What's a somac?

If it is at Docklands on a Saturday night, will the football be a problem?

Wherever it is to be a booking is advisable a.s.a.p.

Somac is a drug for treating heartburn and excessive gastric acid

Parking wise - park under the big ferris wheel - $10 for the night.

Gedanken · 7 June 2009, 06:42 PM

Righto - update. To date we've got the following folks coming:

Steve
Peter and Deanne
Michael and Gill
Gerry and Carla
Brandon
Kai
Sasha and me

Has anybody heard from Chris in Melbourne?

Anyway, Steakhouse also has a $20/person reservation deposit that can be taken out of the bill later. I'm happy to put it up first, as long as everybody's certain they're going to turn up. Could everybody just pipe up with confirmation before I call?

swatty · 8 June 2009, 09:29 AM

Deanne and I will be there

Gedanken · 9 June 2009, 12:09 AM

Okay guys, we're confirmed for 6.30 on 13/6/09 at the Steakhouse.

idk01 · 9 June 2009, 12:15 AM

Oscar · 10 June 2009, 02:52 PM

Guys,

gonna have to pull the plug on dinner. Just got back from the docs. I have flu like symptoms............ also had a blood test too. Don't want to risk it...........

Gedanken · 10 June 2009, 03:04 PM

Fair nuff, Michael. I just hope that the deposit that I paid can be transferred.

Oscar · 10 June 2009, 04:55 PM

James,

Cannot help it. Don't sweat it as I would not allow a 'friend' to be out of pocket on my account through illness.

If it turns out that you are out of pocket, I'l send you a cheque for the amount concerned. I always live up to my financial obligations..........

I know some people that would not even consider putting their hand in their pocket!

Gedanken · 10 June 2009, 05:05 PM

Nah, don't get me wrong, Michael - I'm just having a whinge about this deposit system that more and more restaurants seem to be having these days. I doubt they'll refuse to redistribute the deposit, and if they do I'll just tell them I'll cancel the whole booking - it'll be their choice whether they want to make a couple of hundred bucks or blow it all for a little bureaucratic BS and I'm fairly certain who'll blink first. You just take it easy and rest up.

Oscar · 10 June 2009, 05:24 PM

James,

I am totally in the shite at home with Gill. When I rang her at work did I cop it!!!! Gill now cannot go to work until my results come back.

Guess who is going to be in the shite for a while at home...............me

Good thing you already have a doghouse - if Gill had to build one to stick you into, her mood would be even worse!

Gerry · 11 June 2009, 06:41 PM

James, just confirming that Kala and I will be there. Looking forward to it!

Gedanken · 11 June 2009, 09:10 PM

Good stuff, Gerry - see ya there!

Lol-x · 11 June 2009, 09:29 PM

Is there a GTG?

Gedanken · 12 June 2009, 12:28 PM
