Wellington Cabal is Best Cabal? Tuesday 19/11/19

Fat Old Git · Post by **Fat Old Git** » Mon Nov 04, 2019 11:51 pm

For one night only. Fat Old Git in Wellington and in need of food and a quiet beverage (or 3).

I have to work the following day so can't stay out or misbehave too much.

Who's in?

Gordon Bennett · Post by **Gordon Bennett** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 1:07 am

Should be do-able.

Wilderbeast · Post by **Wilderbeast** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 1:23 am

I’ll try make it. Never been to one of these palavers before.

Fat Old Git · Post by **Fat Old Git** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 1:36 am

Excellent. Any venue suggestions? Last one I attended was at the Fork and Brewer iirc.

Wilderbeast, we'll work out a special secret sign or similar closer to the time so we can recognize each other. Even if it's just a post on the night saying fat bastard at the corner table under the picture of the dogs playing poker.

Good idea, though I was looking forward to roaming the bar asking if anyone knew a “Fat Old Git”

I thought the standard greeting was "Hi I'm from the internet"

You have to be careful with that though, otherwise you might suddenly realize you're sitting at a mumsnet table.

I think at one stage we just used to ask people if they were coog.

At least one of these criminal looking types is usually hanging around, lurking....

Would love to, but I have contract work to do on Tuesday nights and I'm off to Brisbane at 6am the next morning.

Enjoy.

Nice. Holiday or work?

Swap out our man in the deep South with me and I think that is the vast of my last Wellington cabal.

Holiday. Catching up with jdogscoop and other chums for one of our annual punting competitions. I'm taking in a day at the Aus v Pakistan test on the Thursday of that week too for a nice little bonus.

Enjoy! I might be a little bit jealous.

Kiweez, yes that's the one. Why did I think GB was there? He was an earlier one at the same venue I think.

Bugger - I leave Wellington that morning to come home.

Down doing child minding while the daughter buggers off to Queenstown for a marathon.

I reckon you should stay another day just to confirm she's all ok after doing the marathon, but perhaps give her some space in the evening to re bond with the children...

Yeah I wish but that is what Monday 18th is for dammit. Gotta get the Mrs back to work on Wednesday in order to keep me in the manner to which I have become accustomed - so to speak.

Ted. · Post by **Ted.** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:22 am

I'm in.

Shame you can't make it GON and Enz.

Isn't Short Man Syndrome luring around about at that time?

Fat Old Git · Post by **Fat Old Git** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:26 am

We'll overlap one day Enz.

Ted, excellent. Any venue suggestions?

kiweez · Post by **kiweez** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:31 am

I’m in so long as I’m in Wellington.

Fat Old Git · Post by **Fat Old Git** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:34 am

Excellent.

Ted. · Post by **Ted.** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:14 am

Anyone keen on a new venue? Bin 44?

I'll be indulging in craftiness on Weds 13/11 if anyone's about/interested?
LBQ and/or Hashigo Zake...

Fat Old Git · Post by **Fat Old Git** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:55 am

Unfortunately that's a week too early.

50% chance of that. Might have to pop away by 8pm or so though.

Bugger, I will be at sea, so Kiwidutchie will have to attend as both of us.

That would be Friday then, as Thursday is a no go.

Or, how about Wednesday evening?

I'll give you a buzz when I get down there.

Did the 5.30 - 6 ish kick off work?

Wilderbeast · Post by **Wilderbeast** » Fri Nov 08, 2019 3:56 am

Yeah that works for me.

Fat Old Git · Post by **Fat Old Git** » Fri Nov 08, 2019 4:06 am

Excellent. I'm hoping to be there 5.30, but will depend on when I finish the job I'm doing.
