^ Are you looking for sympathy? :D

 

[Strawberry_lovemuffin]

Hawaii, then Vegas? Girl where do I get some of the luck you seem to have?

We'll have a pint for you.

 

[breakyaself]

Well im going to Hawaii, La, San Francisco, San Diego, Vegas, Texas, then im doing a road trip from New Orleans to Savannah along the south coast, then going to New York for 6 nights, then flying to Mexico for a week.

Monies, not luck is the reason this trip was able to happen !

Officially registering my interest, although I still refuse to eat a parma.

 

[Mary Poppins]

I'm out. I fear the rath of Mary Poppins much more than i fear being socially unpopular

the wrath of mary poppins = social unpopularity, duh!

 

[deeCee]

City Venue? Or Burbs?

Previous research:

According to the site, Richmond seems to be full of good Parma action? The following pubs are all listed in the top ratings:

Mt. View Hotel
Corner Hotel
Royal Oak Hotel
Prince Alfred Hotel
Kingston Hotel

.... anyone been to any of these and can vouch for the ambience (don't want anywhere too dirty/dodgy)?

Non-Parma fans, there will surely be something else on a pub menu to suit you. You know we're only going there to drink all afternoon anyway :D

ps. Aha my favourite parma place, The Notting Hill (Clayton) is on the list!

I believe Richmond may be the go?

The London also got some good reviews from BL'ers earlier in this thread.

The London is a pretty cool pub and was my local for a while. Fantastic HUGE beer garden and top notch food.

COTB: don't worry I'm not entirely sure I'll go a Parma either, I do love me a good steak or even fish when I'm out, particularly because I have no clue how to cook them at home

 

[420star]

i'm not shaw if ill make this now it's on the 30th, but if i do come. the prince alfred & the kingston look good to me. so they get my vote. i just hope they don't over cook my steak. i've had a horror run with that lately.

i've still yet to get Sunday 1st of July off work -like swap it
I wanted to swap it for a shift on the weekend of the 16th/17th so I'd be free for MPs bday bash (if I can make it). But mite have to try n negotiate using that weekend as an option now..

I should b able to swap it. Betta..


and for the venue??..

can I still push the importance of the parma?
www.superparma.com as a reference? (I don't mind really)

oh just how bout the one near the tram stop n thing...Richmond was it?

least we have the date set

 

[psycosynthesis]

Should I come along?!

 

[Strawberry_lovemuffin]

I don't see why you shouldn't.

 

[miss_goody2shoes]

Should I come along?!

course! more the merrier

try n recruit people people!


splendid newz! I got Sunday 1st July off work :D
well I swapped with someone- working next weekend instead.
so I can come n get trashy n not drive and somehow get nickyj back for being mean to me (if he's going) that bastard..


now let's go forth n heckle others to join us!

oh yeah we sitll need a location for this debauchery
I'd be suggest-u-ous (like my new made up word?) but truth be told I don't know a lot of options like been to a lot of places in the CBD and surrounding areas

n now I hand the reins over to.. (??)

[Strawberry_lovemuffin]

^ Yay, someone who knows the pubs. So what would be your pick?

The Corner sounded good when I did my first investigations...

http://www.cornerhotel.com/?id=90616206

Pretty handy to transport (only 50 mtres from Richmond station, trams going right by) and the rooftop does sound good (hopefully it won't rain ). What's the food like?

Also anyone any thoughts on the Prince Alfred? The heated beer garden sounded awesome to me. http://pubbing.com/v/580/
