That'll do me!! Even has Hippy Chippie's favourite breakfast (this could be a BIG pull factor for him). Lock it in Eddie. Book it!! Meet for breakie at 0830???????????

Sounds like a great plan!

Anyone can be ordinary. Shipwrights choose to be extraordinary!

Sorry about the Shit Inn - City Extra will be okay.

0830...??? Are you serious...? Whilst the first pub on the run, The Fortune of War opens at 0900, the next one, The Observer, doesn't open until 1100 on a Saturday,
so unless you're planning on delighting us all will tales tall and true of your trek to Kilimanjaro for an hour after breakfast, I'd suggest perhaps a 0930 rendezvous for breakfast,
then head off to The Rocks at around 1030...
I was also hoping that this year, The Palisade may have something to offer by now in the way of lunch with a view, but a trawl through their website left
me a tad underwhelmed at what was on offer and at what price, so I suggest that The Lord Nelson is still the go in that regard...

However, before I make bookings at any of the venues, I'd like to see some more discussion and a consensus on the venues and timing to avoid recriminations later...

I am a great follower. Whatever the mass agrees upon ....... I'll support. Bring it on.

Now you're talking. Forgot about this one.
Been there a couple of times for a hamburger. Good food, good service, licenced, close to transport.
Good place to start.
Book me in Danno! (only a slight variation) (Hey! my font size, etc, works again!)

May your walls know joy; May every room hold laughter and every window open to great possibility.

The preceding posts represent 10 of the 15 participants (so far) currently listed on the Attendees Board,
that's 66.6% in the affirmative, so I'll take it as 'carried' and make the appropriate bookings for (say) 20 people in both venues, 0930 at City Extra and 1300 at The Lord Nelson...
