Look out Wellington....here comes Fishy!

[Fishy]

Righto people of Wellywood, me and the missus comin down your way for the weekend (Friday 7th and Saturday 8th July).

I have been down to Wellington a couple of times but have never really had a look around so any ideas on things to do etc would be good. We are already planning to take a look at Te Papa cause they have the Lord Of The Rings thingee on there at the moment.

Anyone keen to meet up for a few drinks on Friday the 7th July? Would be good to put a few faces to KB names.

I will be at the Bristol at about 7pm ish.

[Str8 Jacket]

The LOTR exhibition is awesome, definately worth the $10!

Im always keen for a drink or few, where will you guy's be staying? Im guessing you wont be bringing a bike with you...

[Colapop]

I could possibly force myself to wander along for a couple of drinks. Say the Bristol Hotel?

(A bit bigger than Murphy's)

Yeah Sarah is a big LOTR fan so she is quite looking forward to it.

Not sure where we are staying yet..will find a hotel somewhere.

Unfortunately we won't be on 2 wheels, bringing the car down :doobey:

Yep cool, would be good to meet ya Col, not sure where to go for drinks as I've never stepped foot in a pub in Wellington.

[The_Dover]

Hey Fishflaps, I think you'd like the Monkey Bar or Sovereign Bar.

[Str8 Jacket]

Well ive never seen any of the movies (I really cant see myself sitting still that long) but I really enjoyed the exihibition. I cant believe how much work went into even the little details!

Well try and get a hotel in Wgtn central so that it'll be easy to meet up. I kind of like Colapops idea about going to the Bristol, but up to you guy's really...

[Fishy]

Ok I will see what hotels are around that area later tonight.

Ok cool the Bristol it is then.

[The_Dover]

Nah, Poo's recommended them, he likes them cos they always play his requests. Barbara Streisand, Bette Midler etc

I've only been to Wellywood once back in 2003 to watch the All Blacks on their knees.

[Str8 Jacket]

Ok cool the Bristol it is then.

Sweet as, just name the time and day and im sure we could get a few people together...

Sweet as, most of those places are very close (walking distance) from the Bristol and other pubs.

I reckon you should start a thread in meetings and events closer to the time to remind everyone and hopefully you'll getto meet a few of us...

[Fishy]

Sweet as will do.

[Wasp]

[Str8 Jacket]

[Paul in NZ]

I'll try to come along.. They modeled an Orc on me...

[James Deuce]

An Orc's thumb at least.

Looking forward to an excuse to ge trolleyed. I now have a taxi card.

[Colapop]

Cool - you can give us all a ride home!

[Str8 Jacket]

[Str8 Jacket]

Sorry... Couldn't help myself...

[Dreamer]

Fish, did I meet you last night at Camellia Court?

If so, there's a bed here for you if you want it, although it's a 10 min drive along the Motorway to Wellington. You might want to be a bit closer so you can walk everywhere.

Either way, the Bristol is my favourite pub, so I'll see you there - upstairs where there are more pool tables. Food's good too.

[Colapop]

But, but, if you get in the car then no one else will fit... :blah:

BTW just out of interest, did drive u the daihatsu much?...
Oh yeah? Have a go at the big man I got broad shoulders I can take it (just coz ya can fit 5 slappers in there!!)

The Shiatzu? Yep me and the boy could sit shoulder to shoulder with our otside shoulders oin the windows!

[bobsmith]

Wanna lose a coupla teeth instead? :blip:

Now that you mention it..... I do need to lose my wisdom teeth..........

Can you knock me out before you take them out??? I hate local anastatics.... don't know if I spelt that right...)

Hi Dreamer,

No don't think it was me you met? I normally say hi to most bikers I see around but where is Camellia Court?

[Dreamer]

Hi Dreamer,

It's in Taupo, for the track day. There was someone called Fish and he was there with his wife or partner I think.

[Fishy]

Oh ok, no it wasn't me then. I was at Uni in Auckland all weekend. There is another guy on KB called Fish, must have been him :doobey:

[F5 Dave]

Or it could have been Fishe, but he doesn't frequent here & thats his real name. Well it is as far as most people don't remember his given name. But he is a 'tonian anyways.

A KB welli drinking night? Been a while since I went on one. I'm keen at this stage.

[Colapop]

It looks like Fishslayer has bailed on us for tonight. We still going for a drink anway?

[Str8 Jacket]

[Fishy]

I am still coming people but the date has been put back a couple of weeks unfortunately.

Sarah's best frined just got engaged and is having her engagement party the weekend I originally planned the trip for.

The date now is July the 7th and 8th. I will bring this thread back to life closer to the time to remind everyone. :niceone:

[Colapop]

I don't have access to the net much these days because my new position is pretty busy but I will try to check back on this thread a couple times during today.

Cheers.

[Str8 Jacket]

Sorry mate, too short notice! I might be able to pop in and say hi but I have leaving drinks for a mate tomorrow night.

[Fishy]

No worries, anyone else around? Colapop you gonna be in town?

[Colapop]

Yeah, bro - I live "in town". She might complain about 2 Fridays in a row (and a Tuesday) Meh, my couch will keep me warm.... 'Bout 7:30 at Bristol or summat?

[Str8 Jacket]

You also forget to mention that *she* picks you up too! You've got a good woman there Col, be nice! :blah:

[Colapop]

"She" will do as "She" is told, if "She" knows whats good for her.... :wait:

[Str8 Jacket]

"She" only occasionally "lets" me sleep on the couch....

[Skunk]

7:30 at the Bristrol? Upstairs or down?
I might make it, depends on work. Looking good so far. :yes:

Might need a pointer as to who you are as I only know a few by face.

[Str8 Jacket]

Might need a pointer as to who you are as I only know a few by face.

Or by voice....

[Sparky Bills]

Might be keen.
Will have to check my calender....

May have to postpone a few dinner dates with all those hot ladies wanting to take me out:blip:

[Fishy]

'Bout 7:30 at Bristol or summat?

Yeah mate sounds good!. I will give you a text when I arrive.

[Skunk]

Tui slogan?

[Macktheknife]

Tui slogan?
Thats exactly what I thought! lol

[Colapop]

Sweet as. Upstairs has the pool table - downstairs has the food/families....

You'll see the KBers :drinkup: - just ask the bar staff.

[Fishy]

Cool, I will see you lot upstairs then at about 7:30 :drinkup:

[Skunk]

Excellent... I'll do my best to be there. :yes:

[poorbastard]

If I was on here as much as some of you others I mite have read this thread before now and came fow a drink or two. Hope you guys had a good nite anyway

[Skunk]

It was a good night, if an early one for me. Good to meet you guys. :yes:

[Colapop]

Yep a good night. Not too sure 'bout the bloody pool shark Fishy brought with him... (although I did enjoy the off the ball tactics..:gob: ..!!) Pity more didn't come out. We'll have to have a pool comp night or summat

[Fishy]

Well we made it back safely.

Weekend in Welly was pretty good alright!. The weather wasn't sounding the best the night we left but as soon as we arrived the sun came out and the weekend was mint!.

Very nice place from what I saw, Te Papa was pretty interesting with the LOR expo on there at the moment.

Can't say I saw all that many bikes down there though, in fact I think I saw more homeless people sleeping on the footpath in the main streets :gob:

Was good to meet the lads that came along and will definitely visit Wellington again!. :niceone:

[Str8 Jacket]

Glad you enjoyed Wgtn, sorry to have missed you.. Yeah there are alot of homeless people down here, but I reckon its on par with when I lived in Akld... You wouldnt have seen many bikes as we all leave Wgtn central to go riding over the Takas or Piecock and yonder!

[James Deuce]

STr8jacket - you haven't got time to post. Get back to work.

O ,and thanks VERY much for reminding me that I was supposed to go to the pub on Friday night (sorry Fishslayer).

I'm getting a new PA. This one's broken.

[Colapop]

Most of the "homeless" people you saw were probably just on their way home from the previous nights adventures!
Good to meet you and Sarah - You'd better hurry up and get her a decent bike by the sounds of things though!!

[Skunk]

I thought I was selling her on the idea of a GN quite well. She, on the other hand, was looking at one of those dodgy Comets...

[WasPhantom]

So I find out about this the day after! It would have been good to meet with some of the fellow Wellington KB members....

[Colapop]

I thought I was selling her on the idea of a GN quite well. She, on the other hand, was looking at one of those dodgy Comets...
The conversation I was having with 'her' saw her her on a sexy 600....
