Australian Enquiry
So apparently it's Great Aunt Sylvia's 90th Birthday in November.

Great Aunt Sylvia lives in Melbourne.

Dad has asked me to come with, as he makes a UK guest appearance at said party.

So, Melbourne. November. Any B3tans around to make it worth my while?

I'm pretty sure
that Legless and the esteemed Mrs Legless live in Melbourne.

That's if it hasn't been burned to the ground or flattened by an earthquake, anyway.

The best part is
Great Aunt Sylvia has no idea we're coming.

Or who we are.

It's pretty much a "put in an appearance, get in the will" visit.

I can probably make it
I live about four hours away by train and if my exams are done I'm up for a drink.

Well
There's me.

Angie The Redneck is around as well. And Mrs Legless of course.

Cheers

Personally?
No.

But I do know Legless and he is a splendid chap :)

I wish I had the air fair to go visit him :(

Wish I had the air fare to visit the UK
I'm getting wanderlust. My feet are itching to move around a bit more.
Hence why I'm jumping at the chance to go up to Melbourne in november.

If you do happen to meet him
Give him my best.

He's the reason I got into b3ta. Thousands of people would probably like to lynch him for that :D

I will do
if I meet him.

Woo!
I must go to bed now as it's stupid o' clock in the morning.

How is it that on a week day I can stay up for hours, but come Friday I'm totally fucked?

don't know but I have the same problem
since I go to school all day friday then work after school until work closes for the night..

so I'm basically up 19-20 hours straight working my butt off.
That's why I'm tired - I guess it'd be similar reason for you too.

Probably
The throwing wine down my neck like it's the last bottle on the shelf every night probably doesn't help either...

There's no such thing as 'just one glass' :(

Right, am off now. Goodnight.

So a Melbourne Bash in November
I'm not - yet - saying I'll do it, but it could happen.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Sat 7 Mar 2009, 2:07, Reply)

it could indeed
/crosses fingers.

I hope it does!
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 7 Mar 2009, 2:11, Reply)

I'm
In West Brunswick.

But I really will have to sort out a Melbourne Bash in the next couple of months. We can have one in Novemeber as well.

And, as I'm a bit techy, I think I'll webcast the bash people back home can join in.

Cheers

hmmmm
could we arrange it so it's in the june/july holidays maybe? Otherwise I won't be able to go. I have to catch the train up from warrnambool to get there in the first place and I don't know the city very well anymore.
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 7 Mar 2009, 2:43, Reply)

I'm in Melbourne (Camberwell)
As well, and will be for at least another 18 months or so.

Not many people know me around these parts, so hello!
