27th Nov - Wellington XMAS BBQ

[Paul in NZ]

OK. This surplants the other thread. PLEASE READ and let me know if you have any questions.

Ok… The Wellington KB – Christmas BBQ. below are the rules of engagement and a map. I'm sorry about the rules but I've had a lot of questions and this seemed the simplest way. If you have a problem or think I'm being an arsehole (again) please let me know. We want this to be a great night!

When: – Saturday, 27th November from 4pm onwards. If you want to come earlier and help with set up, let me know.

Where: – Paul and Vickis house.

Who: - All KB’ers and their families. It's ok to bring a partner or a friend or 2 but please don't abuse this offer. If they act up, I'll get WT to give them the learn....

What: - Bring the usual BBQ supplies. We will supply a BBQ, paper plates etc, some staples such as breads and some salads etc. Please provide your own tipple! If you have some sort of special diet, please let me know in advance and bring enough to poison others as well.

Weather:- There could be a few people. If it's fine, no problem. If it rains we will use the Garage as well.

House Keeping: - This is a KB Xmas BBQ. You are ALL most welcome and it will be treated as an open house event. Our house is a home and we are not overly anal about carpets / footware and stuff BUT, I will be expecting people to use your commonsense! Leave your smelly old bike boots dripping in oil at the door!

Kids: - I like kids! (especially toasted) They are great fun and warmly invited for no other reason than to provide parents with a bad example to traumatize their kids with. Stop fiddling with yourself boy or you will grow up looking like Paul. (usually does the trick) However, please don’t expect me to entertain them, mine have left home long ago (I wouldn’t entertain them) and remember that this is a bike oriented event! People will drink and get loud! (I hope) Please look out for your little ones yourself, when they get tired and grumpy, it might be best to take them home to bed! We have a big garden and they can go wild!

The Dog: - Bo had a back injury when she was little, if we don’t get her into the kennels, don’t let your kids sit on her. She will nip them, shes old and grumpy (like me). She poohs all over the place outside. I’ll get the obvious ones but get you kids to check their shoes eh?

Sleep Over?: - We have 2 spare single and a double. XJ/Frosty has dibs on one already. First in first served. Couches and floors available, I’ll have cereal with bananas for breakfast please after you have vacuumed!

Drinking: - Yes!

Smoking:- Outside only please.

Recreational Drugs: - Not for me and at your own risk BUT if I see you using near any kids I will ask you not to. Once!

Music:- Well I call it music… Some people don’t! despite what Mangel6 thinks I have a wide selection of many different styles. I favor Alt Country, Blues and Soul.
• Bring a fave CD if you like (no bloody hip hop rap shite) but I think we can safely say I can fill the average evening.
• If you want a Kareoke (whatever) then talk to Mike. As long as he can get it there we will find a spot.
• If you want to bring instruments and can play. Form a separate thread and lets make up a scratch band.

Parking:- Bikes down the drive and into the garage. Some car parking down the drive. Please leave the drive clear for people carting stuff in and out. It’s a narrow cul-de-sac so parking is at a premium

Help: It would be nice if someone local can help with.

1 - An extra BBQ and implements,
2 - Extra outdoor tables / chairs etc.
3 - Extra Chilly bin and ice for drinks
4 - Speaker extension cable?

Transport: If you are comming up from town by train we can do a pick up from the station and a taxi back (to the station) is bugger all. Best is to organise a group and hire a shuttle back to town. Again, a seperate thread?

General;- Crap! What a lot of rules for a stupid BBQ? It’s all commonsense really; there could be a lot of people there so we just need to make sure we all have FUN (and we will)

Phew!

See Ya there or Be Square. Feel free to post here if you are a comin' so we get an idea of the numbers.

[Paul in NZ]

Ok! It looks like not only am I an asrehole, I'm a trusting moron to boot.... Just shows you how old, stupid and out of touch with reality I am! Possibly why I ride a Guzzi ??

At CSL's excellent suggestion I'm removing my addy and the map from the public forum but I'm still not telling your about the security cameras and the (oh bugger).

PM me for directions please.

[StoneChucker]

Can I bring a sleeping bag, and just sleep on the floor somewhere, or in the garage, or in the crawl space in your roof? I'll probably prefer to go home, and I don't plan on drinking much anyway.

Oh, do you have a bunsen burner for me to heat my heroine spoon on? :msn-wink:

[mangell6]

Stoney you can sleep in luxury, there is a hammock on the premises or in the grounds somewhere.

I have a lil blow torch, I'll hook you up...:msn-wink:

I'll pop along early and help with the set up if you like?:)

And I promise I wont put Liquid E in peoples drinks so I can take advantage of them.....again :confused:

[MOTOXXX]

i can lend a large chilly bin if you guys need it.

[riffer]

Excellent stuff Paul.

Gini and I will be there along with our 1 and five-ninths children. :niceone:

[FROSTY]

Ok decision made --ll be there in the evening. Im catching the 7.30 plane (earliest I can catch after work)
I dunno if BB will be with me but Im Hoping--fingers crossed Joni will be driving me to the airport and coming with me.

[Sparky Bills]

I can supply some of my really special cookies! :shit:
Sorry guys, Its my mates 21st that day, I might not want to go anywhere near keys of any sort for a couple of weeks after. HeHe
Na might be able to drop round in the early evening if your all lucky.
If you want cd's, I have some really good death metal you can all break your necks to while head banging!

[Blakamin]

JUKEBOX will play cd's... it will arrive in the morning of the 27th... with karaoke.... just chuck it in the rain when finished, i only work there!
(coz i'll have a hangover and i'll get some other tossa to pick it up)
seriously,(???) we could get it picked up sunday or monday if PNZ wanted to leave it out

[DarkNinja]

2 - Extra outdoor tables / chairs etc.
3 - Extra Chilly bin and ice for drinks
4 - Speaker extension cable?

.
Hey Pnz, count me in, reckon it would be alright to convoy back with a few non drink riders so less chance of getting bunged by the fuzz?
as for a speaker cable, what kind of one do you need?
i can try to find either type (i dont know how much you know about A/V) either the stereo/mono type which looks like what you use to plug in your headphones or the AV type which is like what you use to plug in your video player.
Anyways i can get anything from 5M to about 20M if you want :D

Sorry but we won't be able to attend this as we'll be in Rotorua Sat night. (unless the weather's crap, then Hamish will be in Rotorua and I'll be at home in which case I'll be coming to the BBQ in the car)
.

[jimbo600]

Deal me in old chap.

PM me if you need any stuff, I have chairs chilli bin etc.

Just kidding mate. I don't do stunts as I'm very ghey you know.

Tony Im flying friday evening, managed to get my ticket booked through my office! Flying back the Sunday evening... wooohooo!!! when ya planning on going? You working the Saturday, right?

:spudwhat:

[Paul in NZ]

Ok

It's all coming along nicely!

Speaker cable. Sorted thanks. With the Juke Box coming we won't need to move stuff like that about.

Chairs, bring what you can but don't panic. Most people will stand about as bullshitting and dribbling is easier that way!

If you are coming on your bike, just bring what you can manage, we will fill in the gaps.

Paul N

[Paul in NZ]

:spudwhat:

Right ho!

Joni? You realise we are 50km north of town? You are welcome to stay friday night with us (I will be driving north at???). Conversely, if you are staying in town you can catch a train north (run at worst hourly and about $6 to $8) and we can grab you from paraparaumu.

Tony/Frosty will arrive at 8:30 sat night. Do we have a volunteer to pick him and BB up at the airport and deliver to the BBQ? Comeon Don't be shy!

Vicki and I will drop you off the next day for the return flight or what ever else ya wanna do!

Cheers

[F5 Dave]

:argh: Stop it you lot. I’ll be racing Taumarunui all that weekend so it’s hardly fair that you lot will be enjoying yerselves sans me.

Ok pictures will be required & you are all instructed to humiliate yourselves pictorially as I am now living vicariously through your actions. :love: :spudwave: :doctor:

Yeah I Know you are out of town... know someone at the beach, not that far from ya I think. Im sure I will be able to make a plan with a place to sleep... thanks! :2thumbsup

[Ms Piggy]

Count me in Paul - I'll be catching the train. Would you like me to bring additional salad?

[svs]

Count me in too Paul, earlier offer of anything else you need like BBQ, chairs whatever still stands. Let me know if you need anything - or a hand getting stuff sorted before.

PS. please PM me your address or I'll end up wandering round looking for a bunch of unruley bikers (which may not be all that difficult to find)

[StoneChucker]

You're fruity :S enough already Cathy, don't bring anymore with ya :O

[Ms Piggy]

Don't tell alllllll my secrets Stoney! :shifty:

As far as food goes. The best advice is bring whats reasonable given your circumstances and we will fill in the rest. If that means a panic trip to Pak N Slave, thats OK!

People travelling on trains, planes and motorbikes can't be expected to hump bloody great salads and shit about the place especially when top priority should be given to expensive plonk which you can't possibly finish and have to leave behind for me to polish off on sunday!

:banana:

I think the OP will be...

This is a simple BBQ. Potentially we could have 40 plus people and from experience, it's just too hard to try and get clever with food for that many at once unless you have catering equipment. You end up arsing about with the food and the guests drink too much on empty stomachs and... Oh dear! Just remember, a lot of KB'rs own digital cameras!

If everyone brings a little something we will have a feast! Just don't expect a fully catered banquet!

We will provide some simple bulk pastas, salads and bulk like breads and stuff. We will have sausages / savs for the wee folk and they will be first food priority.

We will see about desert this week (if I can still get a deal on the ice creams)

Cheers

[Skunk]

Bread, sauage, tomato sauce. Alcohol. That's all that's needed.

As posted on the transport thread:
I'll be taking a car or van BUT ONLY if it's wetish or worse. You'll have to phone me on the day (PM me for the number). Trip is from Newlands area out there. Don't know what time I'll be heading back.

Not too many are passengers with me twice... :shit:

[StoneChucker]

:puke:
Cheap meat you say? How much for the stuff that been kept at or below 4 deg C?
:sick:

:killingme :killingme :killingme
I'm happy to pitch in for some cheap meat, or I can buy some on the way back from my ride, or on the way up if it's raining. In the end, it's not going to be difficult, turn up, cook, eat, drink?

Please be careful!

Cheers

[FROSTY]

Paul you are really missing the point--its the bike,the cat ,the dod and allother stuff that needs to be afraid. :gob:

[Velox]

This is the night before the sprints right? Will people actually be conscious to head over the hill in the morning? I might be able to pop around for a bit at some stage.

[Paul in NZ]

You really only need half a brain functioning to ride in fast in straight lines. :sly: Those latest US bike movies showed us that! :cool: Besides we are starting at 4pm so that usually means an earlier finish?

Up to you of course!

PM me for directions if you need them and we would LOVE to see you!

Paul N (praying for good weather)

[Slipstream]

Wah hooo !!! I can make it after all :) ....That's if I'm still allowed to come along :confused:

We have put up the xmas tree to make it more festive...

I will refrain from xmas music however.

Please read the first part of the thread and if you are bringing stuff like extra BBQ and helping with set up, feel free to arrive earlier to suit your self. Catching me out in my Y fronts has been known to strike people blind so use some common sense OK!

Paul N

[mangell6]

I have a feeling this is going to be a good'un.

A memory came rushing to the fore reading this, back in the seventies my Mum would make whom ever placed the carrots on the lawn to clean them up. This always occured the following morning.

Have the neighbours been invited?????

[Paul in NZ]

The weather is pretty friggin dire at the moment but it should be OK tomorrow (which means it will be shite).

Don't stress though! It will all be good to go.

[Jamezo]

Mantovani was a cornerstone of the easy listening business for over 30 years. His father was the principal violinist at La Scala under the baton of Arturo Toscanini. Moving with his family to England in 1912, Mantovani eventually studied music at Trinity College and, after graduation, formed his own orchestra, starting out in theaters in and around Birmingham. By the the start of World War Two, Mantovani's was among the most popular groups on the BBC and the theater circuit. Mantovani served as musical director for a number of long-forgotten British musicals and plays, inlcuding several by Noel Coward.

After the war, he began to focus on recording, and eventually abandoned live performances entirely. Working primarily with arranger Ronnie Binge, he developed a big cascading string sound that as featured on his first big hit, "Charmaine," in 1951. Mantovani spent hours working in the studio with microphone placements and other techniques to perfect the lush feeling and dramatic effects.

Mantovani recorded on Decca through the mid-1950s, when he switched to London, for who he cranked out over 50 albums, many of them charting in the Top 40. He also had a string of best-selling singles with such space age pop staples as "The Song from Moulin Rouge," "Swedish Rhapsody," and "Exodus." He is reputed to have been the first act in the music business to sell over one million stereo recordings, and as a quick look at most thrift store music sections will tell you, he pushed out an incredible volume of product. His album of music from Exodus stayed in the Top 40 for the better part of a year in 1961, and the same year, London bundled 5 of his albums together in a special promotional deal and together they all reached "Gold Record" status. Virtually all of Mantovani's music is unexceptional and uninteresting, however, regardless of the enticiveness of the tunes covered.

I like the sound of that list. I have an unusual taste in music, when compared with just about any of the people my age that I know. Old music, new pop/rock, it's all good to me :cool2:

[James Deuce]

Celticno6 - take Pride & Glory (Zakk Wylde) with you - now that's Southern/Country/Swamp Rock for you.

Junior Brown, Fred Eaglesmith and John Prine will get a spin and you HAVE to ask me about 'Merry Christmas from the Family' and Robert Earl Keen..... Vicki HATES it... (needless to say I think it's frickin hilarious)

Lyrics are...

Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk
At our Christmas party
We were drinkin' champagne punch
And homemade eggnog

Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him
'Til he sang Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins
From his second wife MaryNell

Of course he brought his new wife Kaye
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin' while the stero plays
Noel, Noel, The first Noel

Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
Mix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store
We need some ice and an extention cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite
A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motorhome in
They blew our christmas lights

Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night
Oh Silent Night

Carve the turkey turn the ballgame on
Make Bloody Marys cause we all want one
Send somebody to the Stop 'n Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Dite Sprite
A box of tampons and some Salem Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Feliz Navidad.
