Yes, folks, we are at it again!

Are there any Aussies (or wannabe Aussies) that want to join us for get-together #6? A fun time is guaranteed for all.

I have spoken to the Bureau of Meteorology, and they have promised me that we will have a glorious spring day in Sydney.

Because Friday night was a bit awkward for many people, we have decided to move to a Sunday afternoon timeslot.

Date- November 6th, 2005
Place- Blacktown (further details will be provided later)
Time- 2pm till late.

(Note that the invitation is only extended to people over 18, because of the licencing laws.)

If anyone wants a phone call, I am sure we can arrange that, too.

Feel free to PM myself or Nannanut for further details.

Cheers, and looking forward to meeting everyone,

ozzz2002

It had to have been later in the day than 5:30 am..

I'm not sure what we are doing that day, so we will have to get back to you about if we will be home to sign up for another insane (but fun) phone call.

The phone will ring at about 6am your time, Sypher (and TRY to be a gentleman this time, lol), but Moo will be about midnight..

Ooh! Midnight sounds far easier to manage. We are generally still awake then.

That's good to hear Moo, I felt soooo guilty talking to you at the crack of dawn last time!

Only three weeks to go for this momentous event- get your tickets now and avoid the last-minute rush

It wasn't so bad, Blinky! I can't think of a nicer reason to wake up at the crack of dawn than to be able to talk to friends.

Vegas is a bit far, Linkan- Blacktown is closer (and warmer!)

Only a few days to go now- just bringing this thread up as a reminder to any potential party-goers...

Hmm, I guess I could combine this with my threatened family history trip to Lithgow. For anyone who is a fan of Roy and HG, you cannot imagine how delighted I was when I realised I had lots of family from that area. I have been kinda avoiding Sydney since I moved back to Canberra, but Blacktown, well. That's a different matter!

Ah Berocca, how well I remember you from the days when I used to drink! I'm not sure if this link's referring to it as 'Native Australian Food' is meant to be funny or not, but it is! B-B-B-Berocca

Berocca is brilliant stuff- knocks the pain out of a hangover. It is basically a big fizzy drink of Vitamin B and C.

Ing- Blacktown is MUCH more preferable to Lithgow- no black snow for a start (For the info of non-Aussies, Lithgow is a mining town, where it snows at the most ridiculous times of year- usually in summer ..) Hope that you can make it!


Copago- your beer will be ready when you are..

Any other Aussies coming? Having fun is a given- we get to ring people up from all over the world, and wake them up- just be prudent when you talk to Sypher..

Good one Sue - I'm looking forward to talking to you. At least I can be fairly sure your phone manners will be more polished that Sypher's!!

ing - you MUST come - it is the best fun.

That will depend on whether I have just managed to fall asleep after hours of trying.

I strongly doubt that I'll understand any of you, but what the heck. I might just PM my number anyway.

Oh, yikes! What the heck - if anyone wants to talk to me I'll offer my phone number, too . I'm probably in about the same time zone as Moo; I'll try to be awake and 'caffeined' up. To whom should I PM my number? Whoever gets it feel free to post it in misc. public places in Australia lol.

Whilst I may not be up to receiving a raucous phonecall at the ungodly early hours here, I'll have a couple of pints in your honour! Just make sure everyone has a pint on my behalf at every round :P

Alas I must offer my regrets at this point, as I have not managed to get off my behind and arrange to get there! I am, however, sure there will be other times when I can meet all you lovely people. Have a wonderful time one and all, I'll be looking out for the police reports!

Oh and Nannanut, I'll PM you Gats' phone number - it's displayed prominantly in red marker on the wall of a rather infamous establishment in Fyshwick (little Aussies only joke there!) Or so I hear, not that I've ever been anywhere like that, good gracious me no!

Gats, what were you doing in Fyshwick?
