Unfortunately I cannot make it, I have to be in Los Alamos for a couple of days with my nuke scientist buddies.
Never mind maybe next year.
Neddy, I think that it is terrible the way these blokes belittle your age and good character. By the way, what did Adam and Eve pay you for babysitting their kids?

And for those of you still wondering how you got home from our last
Annual RAN Skilled Hands Sydney Rocks Christmas Pub Crawl Smokey, this might jog your memory...
The Beer Scooter…
How many times have you woken up in the morning after one our Smokeys and thought, "How on earth did I get home?" #-o
As hard as you try, you cannot piece together your return journey from the last pub to your house. The answer to this puzzle is that you used a "Beer Scooter".
The Beer Scooter is a mythical form of transport, owned and leased to the drunk by Bacchus, the Roman God of Wine.
The Beer Scooter works in the following fashion - The passenger reaches a certain level of drunkenness and the "slurring gland" begins to give off a pheromone. Bacchus or one of his many sub-contractors detects this pheromone and sends down a winged Beer Scooter.
The Scooter scoops up the passenger and deposits them in their bedroom via a Trans-Dimensional Portal. This is not cheap to run, so a large portion of the passenger's in-pocket cash is taken as payment.
This answers the second questions after one of our nights out, "How did I spend so much money?" :-k
Unfortunately, Beer Scooters have a poor safety record and are thought to be responsible for over 90% of all UDIs (Unidentified Drinking Injuries), such as bruised legs, stubbed toes, scratched hands and a sore spot on the top of your head.
An undocumented feature of the Beer Scooter is the destruction of time segments during the trip. The nature of Trans-Dimensional Portals dictates that time will be lost, seemingly unaccounted for…
This answers a third question after the night out, "What the hell happened?"
With good intentions, Bacchus opted for the REMIT (Removal of Embarrassing Moments in Time) add-on, which automatically removes, in descending order, those parts in time regretted most.
Unfortunately one person's REMIT is not necessarily the REMIT of another's and quite often, lost time is regained in discussions over a period of time.
Independent studies have also shown that Beer Goggles often cause the Scooter's navigation system to malfunction thus sending passengers to the wrong bedroom with the wrong person, often with horrific consequences.
Beer Scooters come equipped with Thump-A-Lot boots (Patent Pending).
These boots are designed in such a way that no matter how quietly you tip-toe up the stairs, you are sure to wake either everyone else in the house or your downstairs neighbours. Special anti-gravity springs ensure that you bump into every wall in the house and the CTSGS (Coffee Table Seeking Guidance System) explains the bruised shins.
Don't forget the on-board heater, which allows you to comfortably get home from the pub in sub-zero temperatures, wearing just a small outfit for the ladies or for the men -no jacket.
Beer scooters... the wonders of modern technology... remember the last time you had a ride on one...??!!
Still time to practice Peoples...!
