an evening of pool n drinkies.. akl

[bugjuice]

just wanted to get a rough idea before I post something solid in the meetings forum.

I went to a pool hall called the 'Pool Barn' in Glenfield, which was a pretty good place. Located here (http://www.wises.co.nz/map/default.asp?street=TARGET+Road&suburb=GLENFIELD&town=Auckland&sttype=&id=60965|2&svctype=1&mapaction=0&mapwhich=0&mapsize=2&width=512&height=512&businesses=1&brad=25&color=-1&filled=0&e=2665123&n=6491623&routemethod=0&s_id=&radius=&zoom=3&move=true&zoomin=true) (but is Target Crt/Cresent, not road, just a little bit down from the arrows on the right), the road goes up a slight hill and round a corner. It's on the outside of the corner, drive round the back, plenty of parking), it's got plenty of tables and a good bar (and awesome bar chicks). Just wondered how popular it'd be if we all got together for a few laughs, shoot some pool and have a drink. If the weather is good, the bloke there said he'd fire up the bbq too..

If it's 10 to 15 peeps, then it'd be about $5 a head, 15+ would be able $3 a head. This covers the cost of about 6+ pool tables for a couple of hours. Any money left over can go to Spank for the site..

The quiet nights are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Cos of the bridge and traffic comin home, could be an idea to make it around 8, finishing at 10, but that could be too late. 7 to 9 could be a bit of a mission, but should be settling by 7.. guess it could be around 7.30 til 9.30...??? ideas? also, when? this week coming, next week..??

Just thought it'd be something different and social. Can even put name stickers on, so we know who's who.. cos I rarely know ;)

open to the board...

[dveus]

Sounds good, name the time and ill be there. Well provided I can shake this bloody flu in time.

where have you been anyway? been quiet...

I have been discusing how lame it is here with the voices in my head.

[SlashWylde]

Sounds like a great idea. I'd be keen.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

[R6_kid]

use to frequent that spot. Its $10 a table and you generally have 4 ppl to a table depending on how good your are at pool (good players = fast games = more ppl per table).

Would be cool. Do the 14yr old slappers still hang out there? I heard they all cleared out when the no smoking law came in coz they couldnt go in and be hidden from their parents eyes - killed the atmosphere :whistle:

[FEINT]

sounds good Buggy... would be keen.... :niceone: :niceone: I like pool... :msn-wink:

[bugjuice]

start namin times and dates.. doesn't bother me, I'm free (I think), but which day would suit better (sun/mon/tue) of which week, and what time? just tryin to make it suit as many as poss..

oh, and 14yr olds have been kicked out with their cancer sticks, and their folks picked them up.. now it's just fit 18/19yr olds.. but can't say how many will be there on the day :msn-wink:

Farily certain that when a big group of hard looking bikers show up hey might just vanish or try to join.

Ahhh - quantum physics. Now you've got my attention.

Did you know that quantum theory was not the work of one individual (unlike the theory of relativity), but the collaborative effort of some of the most brilliant physicists of the 20th century, among them Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Wolfgang Pauli, Biff and Max Born.

The two guys that possibly paid the largest part in our current understanding of quantum physics were Max Planck (1858-1947) and Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976). Planck is the guy most people associate as being the originator of the quantum theory, while Heisenberg formulated one of the most eminent laws of quantum theory, the uncertainty principle (chaos theory etc), which is occasionally also referred to as the principle of indeterminacy.

Now excuse me while I contemplate particle space duality with my friend Palm and her five friends.

and this has what to do with pool and drinkies?
Quantum Leap was the best tho..

[ManDownUnder]

I suspect he's applying space duality axpect of his research to particle acceleration in respect of manufacturing drinks (a la the weight watching thread in which he demonstrated such gleeful participation).

This however would be manufacturing those drinks alone... and I suspect they'd be shaken... not stirred...

:nono:

I dunno - NC started it. I'm simply a sheep and follow.....

Besides, quantum physics is everywhere and without you'd never be able to hit a pool ball or drink beer.

All hail quantum physics :drinknsin

[Motoracer]

I'll be keen just as long as the date isn't clashing with some other thing that I have to do.

[HDTboy]

Count me in, especially if 18 and 19 year old girls are included in the price

[John]

You cant get them new for that price fool, I recon they would be around 190,000km on the odo's SO the 'rings' will be nice and loose :lol:

[HDTboy]

You say that like there's something wrong with loose rings

What about those scientist dudes that filled that chamber with cesium gas and made errr a 'rod' of light travel 300 times faster than the speed of light :D

As BL said, while he was telling me this... "it blows the theory of quantum physics out the window"

Ahhh - ye olde NEC claim that they fired a beam of light at speeds that exceeded light speed by a factor of 300. Absolutely farquing groundbreaking news if its proved to be true, again.

Apparently during tests the beam of light appeared to arrive in the elemental cesium vacuum tube from somewhere outside of the tube, before it even left. Now this is mind boggling - because we're possibly talking parallel dimension shit.

Seriously, if this is proven to be true then Einstein and many people since him have been so very wrong about so many different things. Apart from me. I'm always right.

By itself this doesn't necessarily blow the theory of quantum physics out of the water in its entirety, as it is, by its very nature a chaotic bunch of guideline, as oppossed to being a rigid set of rules/laws, unlike 'normal' physics. What it does do though is throw scorn on the laws of 'casualty', which is covered off by quantum physics.

Move on now - I don't do serious here. Life's far too serious to be serious.

I was trying to show that I am sorta smart and to have some sort of interlect:(

Ah well better luck next time:D

Matey - don't put yourself down, and sorry if I appeared patronising (again).

What you said, if these boffins ever prove what they think they saw, may very well turn out to be one of the greatest discoveries in the history of the human race.

Reminds me of potatoes :D

yeah - but what about when *you* turn up?

[Waylander]

They wouldn't even notice. I tend to blend in with the walls.

[Wonko]

Sundays suit me best, if I'm away for the weekend, then I can pop over and waste sunday night insteed of doing everything that I should have been doing that weekend :msn-wink:

[wildcat_lgf]

Yeah if I'm free, I would be keen, Sunday night would suit me best as well. That way it wouldn't clash with my weekday curfew :D

[bugjuice]

and I'm sure with all this stuff you've done for us lately, you'll be legless and not bought a single pint!!!!!

k, so how does Sunday 29 May, 7 til 9ish sound?

[SlashWylde]

Date and time sounds good.

do it :niceone:

[FEINT]

might want to put it in the EVENT section and calender as not everybody reads the "rave on" section.. :)

[bugjuice]

Feint, this was just a thread to see if it'd be a good idea.. I'll post something solid up soon.

SM, we could fake a 'stuck peanut' in the throat and call for medical back up? can't switch the shift with someone? kinda sux.. bet you're crap at pool..

[HDTboy]

is this a goer?

[bugjuice]

yeah, still on, but my life just really picked up the pace lately.

Sunday 12th suit everyone?

[HDTboy]

Fine by me, perhaps a new thread with a calendar entry?

[StoneChucker]

What about Sunday the 5th? This sunday, which happens to fall on a long weekend...

[bugjuice]

you comin up to dorkland then?

this long weekend people will be going away, and I can't make it this weekend anyway. As funny as it'd be to arrange something and not turn up, I'd be quite keen to go.. So it's the 12th, unless an overwhelming amount of peeps can't make that, in which case say now!!

Was planning to. You're right though, maybe all the Welly crew should arrange a night in Aucks, and all the Orks arrange a wallow in Welly? :motu:

[Indiana_Jones]

I might be there :niceone:
