Friday (4th June) lunch, central Auckland

[jrandom]

Righto everyone, heads up. I have implemented a Cunning Plan for getting a few hours off from Actual Work tomorrow, which unfortunately involves an hour of terminal boredom for some AU engineering students. Well, tough titties for them, they should have done an arts major.

Now, I know sAsLEX will be in the area at the time. Any other KBers downtown or at AU/AUT or anywhere else within range tomorrow who feel like a group therapy pub lunch or summat around 1pm-ish to get in the mood for the long weekend? I'm thinking that a bimble up to Galbraiths would not be entirely out of the question.

Post here before midmorning tomorrow if you're interested.

[Andrew]

Hey yea, I think i can make that! Where will you guys be meeting anyway?

[jrandom]

Bike park opposite AU engineering might be a good place. Or in the front entranceway if it's raining hard. I'll be wearing my KB T-shirt for a bit of insidious forum promotion. Might snag a few more hapless bike-riding student converts ;)

[Quasievil]

Bloody fantastic Idea, Im in Auckland tommorrow for work on the Ducati so I can meet up for lunch ,being a provincal lad you will have to explain where to go though 1pm sounds good. :yeah:

[jrandom]

OK then, let's say that the meeting place will be the bike parking ranks in front of the gym building and opposite the uglier-than-feck Auckland Uni Engineering building on Symonds St. Can't miss it. If it's bucketing down we'll loiter with intent in the front lobby bit of the engineering building instead.

I'll probably be ready to head off by 1:10 or so, depending on how long the lecture takes.

[vifferman]

That does indeed sound like a cunning plan. Unless, of course, it's just a cunning plan to indulge in more rubbishing of people who don't ride Suzukis... :laugh:
I work in Ponsonby, so that's only a couple of wheelies away from the AU carpark you speak of (I know it well).

[duckman]

I work around the corner from Galbraiths so..... if you guys are going there, I'll meet ya for a pint. :niceone:

Ducati getting worked on? Nohhhhh..... :shifty:

[Dr Bob]

I'm at AUT but probably at a meeting until 1pm, I'll meet you at the -- wherever.. if you know exactly where you are going.

[Quasievil]

Ducati getting worked on? Nohhhhh..... :shifty:


worded badly, Im going to go to the head office and thought I would take the Ducati, Ducatis dont break down!!! :finger: LOL

[duckman]

Sooooo.... is the lunch at Galbraiths ??? :eek:

[jrandom]

I'm at AUT but probably at a meeting until 1pm, I'll meet you at the -- wherever.. if you know exactly where you are going.

Sure thing. 1:10 at the AU bike park, heading straight to Galbraiths once there's more than one or two of us. So anybody who isn't closer to the bike park or wants to turn up a bit later, just arrive at Galbraiths and look for the bike helmets.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Will be there.....

[sAsLEX]

will be there and can give everyone a review of his lecture since it is my course he is giving it to!! :wacko:

Thats if you don't fall asleep, assuming you actually wake up early enought ot get there. :Pokey:

[sAsLEX]

Only just managed to hand in an assignment at 1300 today cause I fell asleep while doing some work this morning, and lectures are the best time to sleep, a boring monotone to put you in the mood and the buildings are normally nice and warm

[Shawn]

oh!! ya..talking about sleeping in the class....one lecturer actually woke me up once and told me im allowed to bring pillows from now on as it seems like i can't get comfy enough as apparently i was moving around too much...lol... :gob:

A plan so cunning,
you could pin a tail on it and call it a wessel!


A cunning Wessel,
so cunning that it has just graduated from "The School of Cunning"!! :shit:


O well. I'll just have to go and have a pie in Boi's gargre :spudwave: :bash:

[jrandom]

Well, we'll just have to see if we can do something about that stereotype today, eh? <_<

[Milky]

I will be there... maybe not out to galbraiths but it will be good to meet a couple of you from the site :msn-wink:

[Posh Tourer :P]

Thanks for organising this Jrandom, good to meet a few more people from the site and then eventually meet jrandom himself before attempting to follow him up thru symonds st traffic to Galbraiths. Damn hard work......:P

[duckman]

Yeah - Cheers Jrandom, Enjoyed the lunch and beers. :niceone:

[jrandom]

Cheers guys, nice to meet y'all. The sandals-and-braces crowd up at the engineering faculty want me back next semester so we'll have to tee up some more lunch sessions for the future, I reckon.

[vifferman]

Sorry I didn't make it after all. :disapint:
So how many turned up in the end?

[jrandom]

Ah, let's see. sAsLEX, PT, Andrew, myself, duckman and Quasievil were at Galbraiths for lunch. Milky popped by at the uni to say hi but had a 2pm lecture to go to...

[sAsLEX]

And the lecture was real interesting to , so an added bonus to the great lunch

[Coldkiwi]

dammit! I would've come to if I hadn't been so busy at work that I could check the KB site on time to see this. maybe next time?

[MikeL]

I had hoped to be there but had to stay at work. I did ride past Galbraiths just after 3 to see if anyone was still there but saw no bikes outside so assumed you had all gone.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Probably finished about 2:30, so we werent long gone
