Dinner at the DoG Sunday 19th July

[Grant Smith]

No need for that Ray, I've already got my transport arrangements in order

[Nigel C]

Ray, you'll be pleased to know he'll have a police 'escort' for some of the journey...

[Bernie P]

No need to look out for me anymore... I have to finish my presentation BEFORE I head off on LAN on Thurs... AND, I am cooking a roast lamb, sorru guys!

Have a good night all the same...

[Grant Smith]

Well if it wasn't Bernie who turned up then who was that bloke in the V Australia hat that certainly matched Bernie's description above?

[Bernie P]

Do I have a twin??

BTW, how was the night? I had a shocker in the end, as my laptop decieded to turn 'funny' at around 10pm, and I ended up spending the night trying to work out what was wrong... Vista (which says it all...) Startup Recovery Tool could not repair it, and then said that Vista OP can not find an OP! Yeah, go figure! Problem was, it has the presentation I am giving next week in Santiago on it, not to mention the photos I took in the UK in May!

It is with ASUS now, and they said it was a HD crash, and they are retrieving the data overnight... It's only 4 months old!

[Rusty T]

Classic night gents,

Lets get the rest of the rusty orchestra together sometime soon.

Hi Rusty,

Firstly, welcome to the board. It was great to have met you last night. I'm glad you were able to come and introduce yourself and that you had a good night.

Bernie, we were all stumped. I hadn't looked at the board in the afternoon, so I assumed you were still coming. If it wasn't you there, then it was someone who matched your description perfectly. He (whoever it was) had dinner with us, but I couldn't work out at the time why he kept giving me funny looks each time he was called Bernie. Now we know!


For all those who couldn't make it, you missed out on a good night. There were past and present members, as well as a new one there and a good time was had by all.

When a night at the DoG comes up, I highly recommend you all try to make it. The beer (or lemon lime and bitters for some) is cold, and the steaks are great. Although the chatter might have an aviation bias, there is plenty of banter and jokes to be heard. It's also a great way to meet other board users and find out who they really are and what they're really like. You're also more likely to find out just where they fit into the boards knowledge matrix.

So, next time a get-together is organised at the DoG, please try and come along. You'll be glad you did!

[Grant Smith]

Rusty,

Glad you took the plunge and joined the fine fraternity that we are.

Many were enlightened by your sound knowledge of the trombone and how to remove rust stains from metallic objects.

I'll mirror Nigel's comments... the Beer is cold and so is the Lemon, Lime & Bitters ...

The barmaids are worth the effort itself just to get along to the DoG..

[Raymond Rowe]

The main question is did Adam P drop his steak on the floor.

[David M]

That goes without saying!
