Re: Sydney CBD after-work drink meet up
OK, OH, me and the two friends will be there tomorrow. Might not arrive until after 7pm though, due to work commitments and stuff.
My mug shot's in the gallery. How do we recognise everyone else?

3. catch the 441 to Birchgrove or the 442 to Balmain. Both follow the same route.
4. On the bus, you will cross over The Anzac Bridge, and then come into Balmain. As the bust starts to climb the hill, you come to a large cross roads with a couple of pubs on either side.
5. Get off of the bus here. The Exchange is on hte left hand side of the road.
If you miss the stop, then you can stop at the top of Montague Street, and just walk back down. It will only take a couple of minutes.
I've produced one of my now famous helpful maps to help you get there.

I'm not sure if I have anything outstanding in the wash, so I will post tomorrow what I'm wearing.

Not sure I'm going to be able to get on t'internet tomorrow. If you see three lost souls in t'pub (only one of whom is Aussie), it's probably us.
I have an essay to write, best crack on.

We'll both be there at 6.30ish. You'll recognise us as we'll be the ones with the 'newly arrived pom sunburn' LOL

Can you park around there? If you can I can pick up Yoosun from work first and we can drive over. If not, I'll come on me own.

Re: Sydney CBD after-work drink meet up
I enjoyed the meet too! It's always good to share a pint with some "fellow brits" . The Exchange was good, especially the balcony and the plush sofas, however, would prefer something closer to Circular Quays next time, just for staggering-home convenience...

Yet again, sorry for all the terrible jokes, but they did seem to make Sour Kraut laugh, so they couldn't have all been bad...
The pub was an excellent choice, so well done to Chels for suggesting that one.
Now, I've had a request that next week we go to a place called Establishment, as they give away free champagne to the girls on a Thursday night, and in line with Sour Kraut's request, is not far from circular quay. In the spirit of sexual equality, I don't think that the boys get any free drinks though. But who wants to drink champagne when you can drink beer?

Hi all,
Sorry we ran out without saying goodbye to everyone last night. After way too much excitment shooting moose, we jumped in a taxi and sped off. Didn't mean to be rude.
