Aaarggh........it's coming!!! As a lead up to the BIG DAY on the 25th nows the time to practise your table manners and dining ettiquette by joining the regular yakkers on Wednesday 18th December at The Mitre Tavern at 12.30pm. If people want to change dates that's fine but speak up now as it's a busy place so I need to book a table!! All welcome

I'm in. Hopefully you behave yourselves with those bar girls this time Dino

sorry guys, I am in Sydney on 17, 18 and 19 so won't be able to attend on the 18th. Happy ho, ho, ho to you all if it goes ahead on the 18th. Cheers, Tony.

I'm now flying to China on the 18th for work and returning on the 19th. So I'll be an apology for lunch. I hope you all have a great time.

Mate, that is a fleeting trip!

Yeah, is it ever. 24.5 hours of flying for 21.5 hours on the ground, part of it sleeping. Everyone wants to do a video conference but the Chinese client insists on a face to face workshop just before Christmas. Still it could be worse, I've had to do Hong Kong and back in the same day before.

I suspect a typo. 21.5 hours on the ground, part of it fishing.

I wish. This is where I'm actually going.

I'm working on a new luxury hotel project right on the water. Looks very fishy but I expect all the fish would be undersized or heavily polluted/mutant.

Will be interesting if the client do speak English, else, it would be a very long boring meeting for you!
