Ned, in deference to your absence, and knowing that you really and truly will miss all the booze, jokes, booze, pisser-ripping, booze, warrie-telling, booze, great scenery, booze, great food and did I mention the booze? :wink:

I have contacted all attendees by email and discussed the day's activities, and how it will affect you. :cry: :-k

Consequently, we have all decided to refrain from drinking alcohol at all on the day, and will confine our activities to those more befitting gentlemen of our age and respectability.
[-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o<


















NAH, just kidding!!! We're gonna have a blast old buddy, and we'll drink your health at every pub - all 15 of them - and take the piss out of you at every chance we get.

:laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5:

Not only that, a number of us will be having Warming Flashes at the Frisco from early PM the day before, probably to early AM Saturday.... :partyman: :partyman: :partyman: :partyman: :partyman: :partyman:

:occasion5: 2008 (6th) Annual RAN Skilled Hands Xmas Sydney Rocks Pub Crawl Smokey :occasion5:
...to take up the slack in the couth and culture department, :butthead: filling the void left with Ned's bungled clash of social commitments... :partyman:




BTW... =; How can you have a clash of social commitments of you're the organiser :roll: of both...? :-k

OK you pisspots.........accommodation is booked, as are the flights....well, sort of......long story, but regardless of flight issues, I will be there on the 22nd to inject some couth and culture into the equation.... :supz: :supz: ....I am hoping Monique finds her way there so I can make it a simultaneous equation.... :twisted: :shock:

That will have to be discreet of course as Rhonda will be coming up to keep the Sydney strumpets away from me.....BITCH!!!! Won't be attending the run, but shopping and sight-seeing... :roll:

I had intended to do a quick run through all the Balmain pubs until Seejay informed me the Rocks would be better.......good thing....I'd have been 20 minutes late..... :shock: :shock: :shock: :D

See ya there reprobates...... :supz: :supz: :finga:

I think it's a great idea Col. And I'd like to see it happen mid-late October so I can get to the Sydney Motor Show.

I agree Col, maybe you guys can set a date for each year, between solving a few of the world's problems on the run. :thumbright:

Hi to all. Good to see the numbers are increasing. You can count me in for my first one. Look forward to catching up with those of you I know. See you on the 22nd November.

I, like Neddley, have been struck by the dreaded date clash bug. :(

I was rather hoping to partake :occasion5: :walk: :occasion5: :walk: :occasion5: for the second year of hopefully a long string of years but not to be :tear: .

Daughter No 1 is launching her first CD :rock: :singing: with her band in north east Vic.

I was holding out on answering the call to arms :sniper:, sorry glasses, :occasion5: hoping that the events wouldn't clash but sadly I lost!! :cry:

I would't be forgiven :angry4: for a vvveeeeerrrrrryyyyyyyy long time if I didn't turn up at the CD gig.

Have 1 :drinkers: or a dozen :drinkers::occasion5::drinkers::walk::drinkers::drinkers::occasion5::walk::hic::occasion5::hic::hic::walk: :occasion5: :partyman::walk: :partyman: :hic: :occasion7: for me guys

Definately a fixed weekend would be more suitable for forward planning
