The plan was to try several, then decide which we preferred. Feel free to come along.

Next time I guess we should clarify if we are meeting to eat and drink or just drink.
Now, this week, owing to the things, I won't be able to make Thursday night, but that doesn't stop the rest of you doing something if you wish. I will be around next week though, and was going to suggest the Hollywood Hotel, as it's usually a pretty good place to go, as the bar isn't completely dominated by pokie machines, so has more of a proper pub feel to it. It just needs a dart board.
Here is the URL - Let me know your thoughts

The address is given as Surrey hills, but it's only a short walk from Museum station, so is just about CBD.

Darling Harbour sounds good, as OH wants to check out the motor show beforehand!

A few odd jobs? I'd have the old man out building the new extension for 3 months!

Poor in-laws, nobody wants them....
About tomorrow - will you be waving the Union Jack or wear a bowler hat or will there be some other kind of recogniseable feature?

Look out for CCCP or Aeroflot on a T shirt.
Or just listen out for a pom telling some bad jokes...

Re: Sydney CBD after-work drink meet up
So is the venue confirmed? Time as before? Date tomorrow?
PS I've just noticed that this thread has had over 1000 views, but only 88 posts. So who's lurking? Are they considering coming along? Have you had any PMs from potentials, Swerv-o?

The clarity of water added to sand or soil?
