[Colapop]

Steam's name is JAMES.

He's smelly. And he works on a boat but he's not a fisherman...

[nudemetalz]

I'm keen, but I might have a little food first as it takes a while to eat there (going by the last KB lunch).

Also I might wear some body armour, just in case Colapop's giving out his bear-hugs again..... :shit: :dodge:

[ajturbo]

I was thinking about coming - not so sure now.

[ceebie13]

[Maha]

You people are so mean to me!! :weep: I'll just stay under my rock then...


Why dont you just order something from the 'Kun Tong Tung' in Oriental bay......you seem to be happy eating out of poly containers...

[GSVR]

Not sure if I can get the XJ going in time for this but if anyone has any objections or approval for me being there PM Cocopop and he can pass the message on to me.

[Babelfish]

Yeah, I'll swing along, it'd be good to meet some of you blokes and blokesses

[James Deuce]

I shall endeavour to attend.

[Colapop]

Wow this one is really bringing out the hermits!

[riffer]

Okay, okay.

Gini and I will come. And we'll bring Nicholas too.

You suckers.

[sels1]

I might see if I can wangle it as well

[Skunk]

Okay, okay.

Gini and I will come. And we'll bring Nicholas too.

You suckers.
Shit. Now I'm really put off...

[Trudes]

Sounds like all the nicest people are coming, so I may be able to sneak off to join you.

[Lissa]

Okay, okay.

Gini and I will come. And we'll bring Nicholas too.

You suckers.
Thats a great idea... I might bring my little one over with me... she LOVES hugs, and running, squealing and dancing. Hope no one else is put off. :mellow:

[Colapop]

Is she 16 yet? Not to worry... I can do kiddie hugs.. guaranteed to just to fracture... no breaks!

[Steam]

I have never had a Colahug.:no:
I guess I'm too sexy, makes Cola feel disturbed to be around such a hot guy.

[James Deuce]

If there's kids there I'm out. It sounds grumpy but 90% of my life is chasing kids when I'm out somewhere. I can't relax when there's kids around. Sorry.

[Colapop]

I have never had a Colahug.:no:
I guess I'm too sexy, makes Cola feel disturbed to be around such a hot guy.
I'm disturbed... it happened a long time before you lowered the standard... Don't worry Little Jim I'll hug you if you want...

[Nasty]

If there's kids there I'm out. It sounds grumpy but 90% of my life is chasing kids when I'm out somewhere. I can't relax when there's kids around. Sorry.


Its lunch i nthe middle of the working day ... there would be kids at the resturant anyway ... we can sit you at the other end of the table and you can pretend they don't exist ... :yes:

[Trudes]

If there's kids there I'm out. It sounds grumpy but 90% of my life is chasing kids when I'm out somewhere. I can't relax when there's kids around. Sorry.


Best I don't come then...:mellow:

[Nasty]

Best I don't come then...:mellow:

I am looking forward to meeting the kids Mrs K .. I reckon you should come ... they can keep Lissas youngest company.

[Trudes]

I am looking forward to meeting the kids Mrs K .. I reckon you should come ... they can keep Lissas youngest company.

I was meaning me, (hell, I don't have kids!) I'm usually the one acting like a big kid!

[Colapop]

Usually? You were pretty quiet at AJ's...

[Lissa]

Usually? You were pretty quiet at AJ's...
Yay.... Colopop can change the nappies too!

Jim2.. honestly shes a little angel, you wont hear a peep out of her. Unfortuantly as a Mum, I can either flog her off to someone, or bring her over the 'big hill' for a little adventure. Your choice but would hate to think that my decision to bring her has put you off.

[Colapop]

Yup sure can! I'm a dab hand at the ol' nappies buzz... Don't do that now though... had enough fun many moons ago (probably what caused the nappy thing)

[James Deuce]

Yay.... Colopop can change the nappies too!

Jim2.. honestly shes a little angel, you wont hear a peep out of her. Unfortuantly as a Mum, I can either flog her off to someone, or bring her over the 'big hill' for a little adventure. Your choice but would hate to think that my decision to bring her has put you off.

No one has to take responsibility for my decision not to go.

[Colapop]

Ooo I will! Jim isn't going coz of me... I was looking forward to having a rub of the bald spot too!

[bert_is_evil]

Dammit, I can't attend - having laser eye surgery on Tuesday so will be at home wingeing.
And it's right across the road from my work too hurumph

[ceebie13]

If there's kids there I'm out. It sounds grumpy but 90% of my life is chasing kids when I'm out somewhere. I can't relax when there's kids around. Sorry.


You seemed relaxed in my company, Jim ... and like Trudi, I'm just a big kid!

[James Deuce]

If people were up front about the kids coming I wouldn't have said I was going. No drama and don't read too much into it.

[merv]

OK just back from Perth and catching up with this thread and I've checked my work Outlook Calendar as well and I'm sweet for lunch that day, so it seems, so see you there. Freebird we can settle the drink deal no sweat.

Mrs KD the Dog has to be your kinda place seeing it has the Dog name on it so you better be there.

Sallo thanks for getting this started, be nice to see you all again.

[Trudes]

hehe, I don't think my other half is coming, so should I paint myself red, then I'd be "one red dog"..... then again, it doesn't take much to make me blush.:mellow:

[merv]

hehe, I don't think my other half is coming, so should I paint myself red, then I'd be "one red dog"..... then again, it doesn't take much to make me blush.:mellow:

No worries, I had lunch with him a few weeks ago, mind you he was sitting at another table with someone else (not a woman), but at least we were at the same place.

You blush!!! - really???

[ajturbo]

If people were up front about the kids coming I wouldn't have said I was going. No drama and don't read too much into it.

well i for one read into it as......
heheheheh

just think.. she may be still breast feeding............

[Colapop]

Somebody will need to shout me lunch coz I don't get paid til the 31st... Or I could just stay away... ok I have no shame... I'll saty at work... :(

[Nasty]

Got that sussed Col

[Hawkeye]

Wooohoooo! Just came across this thread.

Reach out and touch - I'll be there, to....

Come on Str8, sing up.

Still limited access but getting there with the PC. Blood hell! 86 PAGES OF THREADS SINCE THE LAST LOG ON. I've got some catching up to do.


I'll see you on Wed and I'll see if I can drag Scamp along as well.

[Panther]

If people were up front about the kids coming I wouldn't have said I was going. No drama and don't read too much into it.


you are a poo, why don't you just sit down the other end of the table?
what would you have done if there were other kids at the red dog when you got there? left :p

[Skunk]

If work ain't too busy I'll be there just to take Jims place. I hate kids...

[Panther]

Are you bringing Skunk Control?...i mean is she bringing you

[Skunk]

Who do you think is holding my lead?

Of course she's coming...

[Colapop]

Woohoo SCAMP!! We like Scamp

[Panther]

Who do you think is holding my lead?

Of course she's coming...

Yay will be good to see you guys!

[Nasty]

Saw Scamp at Rimutex today and told her about the lunch .. she thinks she will make it!!!

[Lissa]

Is she 16 yet? Not to worry... I can do kiddie hugs.. guaranteed to just to fracture... no breaks!
I told her col was going to be at the lunch.. this was her reaction.

I think shes looking forward to it - hehe :yes:

[ceebie13]

What's the dress code? Not that I want to wear a dress... Being a man of leisure I will be arriving on my trusty steed in biking attire and with bikers hair! Will it be OK to mingle with you lot in your suits and ties???

[Hitcher]

On the subject of "dress code", one was amused by such a code nailed to the wall by the entrance to a New Plymouth pub on Devon Street which, in addition to verboten motorcycle garb, also had "bogan t-shirts" on its list of no-nos. The irony was that the pub was called the Slutty Mole/Fat Lady's Arse, or something similar...

[Panther]

last time i turned up all sweaty with leathers, it was a really hot day.

[ceebie13]

Well, seeing as the "in" thing seems to be to ride around Welly in nothing but yer pants, maybe I'll do that!

[Trudes]

Well, seeing as the "in" thing seems to be to ride around Welly in nothing but yer pants, maybe I'll do that!

Arghhhhh!!! :blink: My eyes!! Tell you what, if you turn up just in your undies, I'll shout you lunch! If you turn up just in Lyn's undies, I'll shout you lunch and drinks!

[Steam]

Tell you what, if you turn up just in your undies, I'll shout you lunch!

May I take that bet? As long as I can return fully clothed when the staff ask me to leave.

[ceebie13]

... If you turn up just in Lyn's undies, I'll shout you lunch and drinks!

That's kind, Trudi...but those thongs play havoc with my goolies!! :gob:

[Lissa]

That's kind, Trudi...but those thongs play havoc with my goolies!! :gob:

OMG.... why did I read that!! :crazy:

sorry Rich will never look at you the same way again. :shit:

[Toaster]

Bugger, just came back from a few days in old Wellers.... enjoy the event people.

[Trudes]

May I take that bet? As long as I can return fully clothed when the staff ask me to leave.

Gee, some people really don't need much of an excuse to parade about in their knickers do they?!
OK Mr. Steam, if you turn up in your undies only (helmet optional), I'll shout you lunch (just don't pick the lobster, I am a broke student after all ;) )

[Lissa]

Gee, some people really don't need much of an excuse to parade about in their knickers do they?!
OK Mr. Steam, if you turn up in your undies only (helmet optional), I'll shout you lunch (just don't pick the lobster, I am a broke student after all ;) )I'm bringing my camera. :yes:

[Panther]

hey guys

original thread has been updated with menu, so you can look at it

(its using adobe reader so to get to the back of the menu you have you move to page two at the bottom of the page)

and make a pre order.

[Lissa]

Thanks sallo.

I dont really know Welly that well, but I assume its not too much of a walk from Te Papa if I park there?

[Trudes]

Cheers Sal!
I might have to wait to see if I'm buying Steam's lunch before I decide what I'm having, I may only be able to stomach a salad depending upon which knickers he wears!! :lol:

[Panther]

Thanks sallo.

I dont really know Welly that well, but I assume its not too much of a walk from Te Papa if I park there?



Yeah man, it will give you a nice walk to whet your appetite.
Just walk down the road that Te Papa is on, back towards the train station and when you see a shell turn right, and one red dog is in there behind some buildings....can anyone else please give a better discription, its not my strong point.

[Hitcher]

Yeah man, it will give you a nice walk to wet your appetite.

Whet. Unless, of course, it's raining.

[Panther]

*bows down to the MOD*

[ceebie13]

.... I may only be able to stomach a salad depending upon which knickers he wears!! :lol:

Hey Trudes... Never mind Steam, if I come like this is that offer still standing?

[Lissa]

Oh I was thinking of the Restaurant on Blair Street... doh will just find a park at Queens Wharf.. :yes:

[Trudes]

Hey Trudes... Never mind Steam, if I come like this is that offer still standing?

Woohoo, check out those sexy legs!!! How old were you there Uncle Rich?

[merv]

Oh I was thinking of the Restaurant on Blair Street... doh will just find a park at Queens Wharf.. :yes:

Yeah this is the other One Red Dog on the waterfront just North of Queen's Wharf and Shed 5 in the same building as Loaded Hog near where Steam's ferry steams in from Days Bay.

... and what's better is it is 2 mins from my office.

See you there Mel.

[Lissa]

Yeah this is the other One Red Dog on the waterfront just North of Queen's Wharf and Shed 5 in the same building as Loaded Hog near where Steam's ferry steams in from Days Bay.

See you there Mel.
Thanks for clearing that up merv :)

[Colapop]

I'll come in whatever you like just for the hell of it!!

[paturoa]

What time are you all finishing up at the restuarant?

I'm due in Welly on Wednesday on my way to the brassy and would like to share a beer if thats possible.

I'll be leaving orkers early to miss the traffic so should be in Welly early arvo.

[merv]

Some of us are making out we are working that day so I'm guessing I'd be there a couple of hours until about 2pm.

[ajturbo]

Oh I was thinking of the Restaurant on Blair Street... doh will just find a park at Queens Wharf.. :yes:
if your on yer bike... just park directly outside the cafe!

[Colapop]

Can ya fit the sprog in a saddlebag?

[Lissa]

hehe no the sprog cant fit in the saddle bag, maybe in the backpack.. :mellow:

[Colapop]

How about in the basket on the front?

[Colapop]

I'll come in whatever you like just for the hell of it!!
To the person who made a 'suggestion' - be careful what you wish for!

[Lissa]

How about in the basket on the front?
Always wanted one of those.



To the person who made a 'suggestion' - be careful what you wish for!ya know Te Papa is just down the road, a picture of you, Rich and steam would probably win that 'KB photo contest' for sure!!! :shutup: :Punk:

[Colapop]

As stated elsewhere I have a plan for Te Papa!!

[Trudes]

So seriously kids, where is the best place to park my bike? (don't know that area of town too well).

[ceebie13]

Woohoo, check out those sexy legs!!! How old were you there Uncle Rich?

Let's just say you were about nine!

[Colapop]

So seriously kids, where is the best place to park my bike? (don't know that area of town too well).
Right outside O.R.D, there's also parking just around the corner between Queens wharf and O.R.D

[Trudes]

Right outside O.R.D

True! How do I get in there? And, are you actually coming? If so, I'll bring back your shirt.

[Korea]

'Scuse my late entry~
I will be there on two wheels no less.
Will pre-order and tag along with Nasty.
See you there~! :sunny:

[Skunk]

So I'll get to meet the Famous(?) Korea...

[wayne708]

Will have to pass on this one, weathers looking good so heading off to Porangahau on the bikes for the night. Maybe next time. Have a good one folks.

[koba]

Will have to pass on this one, weathers looking good so heading off to Porangahau on the bikes for the night. Maybe next time. Have a good one folks.

Enjoy the best ride in the world :)

Excellent choice, tastier than any resturaunt menu.



Not meaning to say the foods bad either....

[Colapop]

Not if you pre-order!

[Freebird]

I'm coming, and I've ordered the Lamb Salad

[koba]

Would love to come along but I can't.

Thanks anyway to Sallo for organising the lunch.

Maybe next time :)

[Steam]

Yum, I just ordered Lamb Salad. I'm not coming in underwear after all, um, maybe at some future lunch...

[Str8 Jacket]

Im coming. And im not wearing any underwear.

[ceebie13]

Im coming. And im not wearing any underwear.

Woohoo!!! Bagsy I sit opposite you then. I'll try not to keep dropping my fork!!

[Colapop]

I'll sit next to.... Hmmm ... anyone that'll have me... :o

[Steam]

Im coming. And im not wearing any underwear.

And to think I talked to you in the street! The shame!

[Colapop]

Im coming. And im not wearing any underwear.
Pooooo!! Stinky!!

[merv]

What's with us I've ordered lamb salad too - must be popular? I had pizza the last time we saw you there Col when that guy from Auckland never fronted.

Str8 you be wearing a skirt like Sharon Stone then?

[paturoa]

Sallo thinks I should get away really early to make it to lunch.

That is now the current plan for tomorrow, but there is fog forecast across the Waikato so don't wait for me!

[Panther]

Fog, smog.

Seriously guys, try and make the effort to pre order, they have two other large size groups in at the same time as us and the kitchen is gonna be sloooooow, underwear or not.

[paturoa]

not sure that I want to eat there if the kitchen people don't wear underwear....

[Colapop]

No... just Str8 it seems... though I can't be sure...

I'll save you all... I'll check the waitresses!

[Lissa]

Never fear Sallo have ordered the Chicken Salad and wedges for Breanna :yes:

[Panther]

not sure that I want to eat there if the kitchen people don't wear underwear....

route...western bypass, through desert road (always cops), through rangetiki (minimal cops), to Bulls, down through SH1 and then from foxton down there is maximum cops....:angry:

[Trudes]

Never fear Sallo have ordered the Chicken Salad and wedges for Breanna :yes:

Awwww, I'm having wedges like Breanna Banana.:sunny:

[Colapop]

Hehehe I thought her name was Banana too!!

[Lissa]

Hhehehe I thought her name was Banana too!!Ohh you better watch it if you call her Banana .... she can smack real hard.. and blows wicked raspberries! :banana:

[Colapop]

I do too... without using my mouth!!

[Lissa]

I do too... without using my mouth!!
:crazy: Lets hope you arent having beans for lunch then.

[Colapop]

I did today in preparation...

[Lissa]

I did today in preparation...
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! :eek5: :sick:

[merv]

If the kitchen is slow gives us more time for witty repartee between us huh. Looking forward to seeing you all over my slow lamb salad and I will have all my layers of clothes on, its too friggin cold in this town for much else unless you snuggle up close. Mind you with the crowd that seems to be coming we will be a tight fit.

[Colapop]

No naked flames....

[Colapop]

and then... BOOM!!

[riffer]

Okay, we've done the pre-order thing.

Let's hope that Breanna and Nicky cause absolute merry hell together...

especially as I forgot to pre-order a highchair.

[Colapop]

Just put them out by the bikes...

[riffer]

You have seen my son around bikes haven't you?

Be afraid...

[Colapop]

Yup :yes: and mine won't be there... my son (who'll eat everything) or my bike... tell ya tomorrow ... maybe...

[ceebie13]

Ive ordered the Yugoslavian Goats Cheese Omelette. Yum!

[riffer]

What, no albatross?

[Lissa]

Let's hope that Breanna and Nicky cause absolute merry hell together...

I'll give her some chocolate in the morning.... :yes:

And will bring a gas mask for protection from Col. :D

[Skunk]

I've gone all Reptile...

[Colapop]

Is it bigger than Texas??

[Skunk]

Ohh, I hope so...

[Colapop]

GOLLY!!! :gob:

[Trudes]

Mind you with the crowd that seems to be coming we will be a tight fit.

Are you implying we're a bunch of fatties?

[merv]

Are you implying we're a bunch of fatties?

Nah would I say that? No I am sure it'll be a bigger turn out than last time and we had about 18 that time. I could always sit on your knee I suppose or Lissa's, I guess she'd be used to kids on her knee.

[ceebie13]

I've done a head count. As it stands, it looks like 22.... plus a couple of littlies! 23 if Jim changes his mind.

[GSVR]

The XJ is still in many pieces and I'm unemployed and rapidly going broke. If you can read between the lines you'll understand what I'm saying here.

[sels1]

Booked my meal....suppose I better turn up then:yes:

[sinned]

Nice day for a walk and lunch. I will be there.

[Korea]

Great to catch up with the good KB crowd this afternoon.
Excellent day for it too. :sunny:
My only complaint is that it was over too soon (like so many things. For example: icecream).

Thanks all round and esp. to Sally for making it happen :niceone:

[Nasty]

That was great .. and a nice break from the hospital ... oh well better go back to the lad.

[KoroJ]

I've been hugged!!

[Trudes]

I've been hugged!!

Or is that, you've been Cola popped?
Good to catch up with you all, great turn out on a lovely day too, Thanks Sal! (And thank you to my fantastic escort)! Somehow Col, I still have your shirt, it took a nice ride in to town to have lunch with you and then came back home with me, you wally!

[jrandom]

I shall attempt to attend the next one in essence rather than in spirit, if at all possible.

[Paul in NZ]

I've been hugged!!

I've never been so glad I was too busy to make it along...

[Hitcher]

I shall attempt to attend the next one in essence rather than in spirit, if at all possible.

I'm not sure if the invitation list extends to laggardly Aucklanders...

[Str8 Jacket]

Great to catch up with the good KB crowd this afternoon.
Excellent day for it too. :sunny:
My only complaint is that it was over too soon (like so many things. For example: icecream).

Thanks all round and esp. to Sally for making it happen :niceone:

Nice to meet you. Thanks heaps for letting me sit on ya bike! :love:


Shame I cant really reach the ground though....

Nice to catch up with everyone again too!

[nudemetalz]

That goes from me too, great catching up and meeting people beyond their KB names.
I think wearing my "Nudemetalz" shirt helped a little :)

Big thanks to Sally for organising the event.

[NhuanH]

I'm not sure if the invitation list extends to laggardly Aucklanders...
Ha! Snuck in under your Wgtn radar.

[Lissa]

Thanks Sally for organising the lunch. Didnt get to talk to most of you, spent most the time outside watching the damn digger! Breanna enjoyed the day as well. :yes:

[ceebie13]

Yes, I too had an enjoyable time. Slowly but surely I can put faces to names and names to KB handles. Thanks to everyone who introduced themselves to me cos I'm piss poor at introducing myself! That means I can now add Steam, Str8, Sallo, and Nudes to my recognition list. Those of you that I still don't know will have wait till another suitable occasion. Finally well done to Sally for the organisation skills.:niceone: Roll on the next one. (...probably ham or cheese) Geddit!

[Panther]

hey guys,
thanks for coming along, at one stage the crowd looked to be pushing thirty people!
:sunny:

[sels1]

Ha! Snuck in under your Wgtn radar.

You beat me to it....I was going to point that out. Good to meet you again. And we had Pataroa join us as well....2 AK visitors....well done

[riffer]

Mmmm.. Nice pizza.

Good to meet some more of you guys too - although I never even got to talk to Sally... I think she went all shy on me...

Good to finally meet you Chris (Nudemetalz) and James (Steam).

And yeah Lissa - that digger was pretty cool - made my young fellers day. We'll have to bring more of our kids next time. The two we had were just too damn quiet and well behaved...

[Freebird]

Yea big thanks to Sallo, and great to meet folks. :yes:
I also received the famed Colapop hug, so I am no longer a Colahug virgin. :gob:
Looking forward to the next one already. :Punk:

[Hawkeye]

Good to catch up with a few folks I haven't seen for a while. Those kids were far too quiet. Next time I'll bring a couple of obnoxious teenagers along. Thanks to Sallo for organising.

[Lissa]

Yea Bre and Nick left it way to late to start running around and misbehaving... (Shes still asleep from when we got home at 3pm). :mellow:

Anyone take any pictures? Didnt get to meet everyone, and not sure which ones you were. :D

I think everyone at lunch today can now say they have been Cola'ed. :shutup:

[Colapop]

I was very quiet and well behaved today... the Orklandish ones didn't get the treatment... I saw you NhUANH (FatJim's litle friend) ... and PAtuRoa (the noTmAOri) and thought it best not to let you be too scared...

BUT there was no Scamp and no Judecatmad or her hubby... and no Apty...haasty (Fiona) :(
We could have just about filled that place up. I give today two thumbs up! One for the peeps turning up.... and one for pre-ordering.... made a huge difference... as said already not long enough to have a real set to, but great to catch the ones that I did... (long arms..)

[Skunk]

Thanks Sallo for making us get together.

Bugger that I had to go so soon; missed meeting most of you. Fark, I didn't even see Nudes there!

And I forgot to hand out invites to my party this weekend.

[riffer]

Yea Bre and Nick left it way to late to start running around and misbehaving... (Shes still asleep from when we got home at 3pm).


LOL. Nicky's just had storytime and been given his goodnights - he didn't sleep at all (he's on the Chopper Reid children's daytime regime) - and he's currently lying in bed in his room off the lounge singing to himself as I type this on the lounge laptop.

I've got to say - that pre-ordering idea was FANTASTIC. Such a pleasure to get to a restaurant and have lunch coming out within 10 minutes of arriving. And I'm sure One Red Dog was rapt too.

Well done Sallo for organising this one. :yes:

Sorry Skunk, I was monopolising him.

[merv]

Yeah enjoyed that and sure Sallo did a perfect job organising things and getting us to pre-order because if you go casually to One Red Dog it can be a bit slow at times.

I got to see eye to eye with Colapop as he whisked me off my feet for a hug. I sense he has a phobia against big men - perhaps he wished he was the right size like me - coz in that list he says he only shook the hands of big guys Fatjim and Hitcher.

Great to see (and kiss and hug) you KB chicks too - hey your fellahs aren't the jealous types are they?

The kids certainly were cool too, if they weren't mentioned you'd hardly know they were there, except Nicky kept putting his foot on my knee under the table - hope he's not getting the wrong idea too early. Banana looked like she was ready to party towards the end too, kicking off her boots and getting down to it.

Geez I was back at my office before 1.30pm and I thought I'd need a 2 hour lunch. See you all again next time.

[Mom]

I was very quiet and well behaved today...


As you always are my friend..........I see though that some people missed out on the "hugginess" that is you, nice touch with the tummy tickle for the littlies an the "handshook" thang for the biggies, but what is with the ones that escaped your attentions..........LOL.......big scaredy cats I say :dodge:

Sounds like you guys had a great time today........maybe one day your lunchtime get togethers will match a trip to the Wellytown for us :sunny:

[Colapop]

I shall create a fanfare if you two came down...

Dunno why those others always seemed to be on the other side of the table...?

[sels1]

Your reputation precedes you?:dodge:

[Colapop]

I know - I can smell their fear... but you always got the love for me, Sel...

[sels1]

... but you always got the love for me, Sel...

Ha....keep ya hands above the table fella...

[Mom]

I shall create a fanfare if you two came down...



With trumpets made of silver though eh......:innocent:

[Colapop]

Sure!! We'll have a parade...

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

And we have better weather here!!

[merv]

And we have better weather here!!

Yeah its been fantastic.

Good to see you at lunch too Shirl.

[ajturbo]

thanks sallo...
for getting us lost AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahha

i had a great time, sorry i didn't make it down to the other end of the LONNNG table.. but as the boss had phoned me up just as i sat down, i didn't think a 2hr lunch was a good idea.....



when is the next one and where????

i feel that a new place is in order...? for a change...

[Lissa]

Yea next time I wont bring Breanna :banana:. so I can actually sit down and enjoy the meal. (no comments allowed from Jim2) :)

And Steam I Loved Your Bike!!! :Punk:

Why is it that Wellington KBers seem to be such a cool bunch? So much cooler than KBers from other parts of the country. Gah, don't mind me, I'm just lonely and feeling left out... oh, and lurking. *Sigh*

[Steam]

Next time I want to have lunch at a quieter place, where we can hear people more than just one seat away. SO loud there! That's a problem with all restaraunts and bars I guess.

Coz we just are - and that includes those from the 'rapa too. Getting 30 at the table was the biggest yet.

..... but you could always organise your own lunch in ChCh surely, there's a big crew down there.

Yeah - I was going to attend but i heard the place was full of filthy motorcyclists - bah! The city is going to wrack and ruin I tells ya!

dont listen to them... the Rapa Crew are the best!!! :Punk: If you are ever over this way I will show you around, the Rapa is always full of WellyPeople - dont let it put you off (they cant get enough of us):D

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

I will volunteer to organise the next one. Say in about 3 weeks time.

This could become a very pleasant habit! Good on you Shirley, count me in.

[Deviant Esq]

God dammit. Mrs Kendog's right... I'ma have to move up to Wellington to join in the fun! ;)
Many good riding roads around there? I hear stories about the Rimutaka hill road claiming fairings and knees alike... :mellow:

[Trudes]

It's nice to know someone thinks I make some sense! LOL. I'd offer for you to come live with us, but I have a funny feeling we'd drive you back to the South!:yes:

[Colapop]

It's alright DE - we can get you on some of the lesser known rides around the place til you've done you apprenticeship... hills that is...
