Choppa V SteveRawlo pre-matchplay sledge session

[Choppa]

Ok folks, in the spirit of taking this matchplay competition seriously, I am ponding interest in a Chop V Steve pre-matchplay pissfest. I was thinking a few quiet ales in a respectable city drinking establishment on a Friday afternoon/evening.

I figure if I have to give Steve 6 shots, the least I can do is make them Flaming Sambucca's ;)

It won't be for quite a few weeks yet, but would there be any interest in this?

P.S. Steve, you have to come mate.

[dc68]

This I have to see.......... It also gives me a good excuse for a drink ;)


Count me in.

[AndyP]

Oh dear!

You both don't mind a little poker, so would you be interested in playing in the City on that Friday evening as well, or would that get in the way of the drinking?

Dependent on timing, I'm interested.

[shazza_rs]

Count Pete and I in for a cameo appearance :)

[AndyP]

Is this thing going to need pool tables?

[steverawlo]

P.S. Steve, you have to come mate.

I don't drink with anyone over 14.4 h'cap. It feels........inferior.

I'll make an exception in this case though.

[steverawlo]

Is this thing going to need pool tables?

Yes - so I can whip him in both disciplines :smt002

[Choppa]

ok this might be a goer. I'll give it some careful consideration, and arrange this momentus event for a date yet to be decided. I'll just have to make sure it's a date 69 can't make it.

Poker.....sure.

Pool tables......of course.

Bone socks.....ummm no sorry.

[Choppa]

I don't drink with anyone over 14.4 h'cap.

ok now that's just cruel. You do realise that 95% of this forum is now excluded :smt002

Don't worry mate, I'll be down to 13 and you will be out to 11 over the next couple of months.

[Jarro]

I'll never forget that little fella at Wynnum....I think he went for the hanky at one stage.

Only hanky i would've needed would be the one to wipe away the dribble running out the corner of your gob :p

If pool tables are there, so am i 8)

[Jarro]

Who else would it be ???

I'm probably the only bloke you've beaten in 20 years :roll:

[3oneday]

I'm probably the only bloke you've beaten in 20 years :roll:but he's probably seen a few going for the ole hanky ;););)

[just]

How do you know I was talking about you mate...I never mentioned names. I may have been referring to Just or another Wynnum matchplay loser.
Don't drag me into this. It couldn't have been me, because I don't give a flying f*%$ if I lose or score a couple of hundred, I only turn out to get away from the family for a few hours of peace and a quiet ale afterwards.

[Choppa]

but he's probably seen a few going for the ole hanky ;););)

Don't be stupid, he wouldn't see em because he is facing the other way.

[AndyP]

Gee Chops, you're not just saving the sledges for Rawlo are you? You're giving it to everyone.

[Choppa]

Yeah, I have had a shitty week. I will be over it after golf tomorrow.

[AndyP]

Yeah, I have had a shitty week. I will be over it after golf tomorrow.
Well that depends......

[steverawlo]

Dependent on timing, I'm interested.

16/17 March? St Patricks Day weekend. Do they play poker at any of the Irish pubs? Dooley's perhaps?

Your thoughts please gentlemen and Choppa.

[AndyP]

The City Friday night Poker is at the Underground on Edward St. They probably don't have Sat night poker in the City, as it's not required to boost business.

I wouldn't be able to commit to any thing around March 16/17, with number 2's due date within the week.
Keep in mind that you guys have plenty of time for your match, considering Rd 1 won't be completed until at least mid-April.

[just]

I can't believe you can manage your bowel movements with such accuracy.
He has it diarised down to the minute. Its a talent.

Cut it out you 2 shit stirrers :smt021

[Choppa]

Dooley's is an otion, but early march is no good for me either. Maybe something later in the month?

[Jarro]

Jarro has never had an original idea in his life.

yes i have, i formed the AndeePee'saNazi party ages ago.

[Iain]

no, that's the Iainisgreat fan club

:roll:

[PeteyD]

Didn;t dooleys go through a total revamp and name change?

[just]

Didn;t dooleys go through a total revamp and name change?
Yes. Which makes a complete arse of the Gaelic street signs out the front. Just to take the thread further off topic it used to be the Hacienda many years ago hence its vaguely spanish looking architecture.

[just]

ahhhh..the Hacienda....what a great pl....oops no, I never went there.

Not that theres anything wrong with that.

[steverawlo]

If you're going to defend your McLeod Cup title then it's game on, mole.

We can do this pre match session on Friday the 13th - ooooo spooky.

[Choppa]

Ok looks like we are on for the Friday the 13th. Any others stupid enough to come out for a few quiet ones before the Cup ;)

And I am expecting at least a pop in for 1 drink from all the City workers!

[3oneday]

Who won ?

[AndyP]

I'll say yes now, and run it by the missus closer to the date. 8-[

[dc68]

Venue?

[Choppa]

Who won ?


13th of April....

[Choppa]

I'll say yes now, and run it by the missus closer to the date. 8-[

Perhaps if you run it by her now, she will thank you for the advance notice? Or maybe not.

But I still expect a show from you!

[poidda]

Count me in!

[Choppa]

Venue?

Good question. In the city somewhere. Dooley's might be an option if people (show up and) want to play pool. Otherwise anywhere is good.

[dc68]

Venue?


Venue?:roll:

[BrisVegas]

How about Fihelly's Arms - out on the footpath tables. It's "Central" for most i'd have thought.

[AndyP]

Fihelly's will be absolutely chockers on a Friday, as it is most days, but it is convenient.
The Brewhouse has several pool tables, I think.

Let's all get drunk on expensive Belgian beers instead.

[Choppa]

Venue?:roll:

+2

[Choppa]

Either of those options are good. I guess it depends on who is coming and for how long.

[BrisVegas]

I'd only be dropping by for a quick drink so disregard any suggestions I make. I just thought something close to Central would work...

[Choppa]

Yeah that's ok mate. I knew you would be too afraid to come out drinking with me again. I don't think we have been out drinking since Gladstone ;)

[BrisVegas]

you promised me you wouldn't speak about that night....

[dc68]

Spill it Chops then we have a laugh at someone else's drunken misadventure apart from yours at Bribie.

[poidda]

Venue?:roll:

What about the Pinkenba Hotel?

[BrisVegas]

Spill it Chops then we have a laugh at someone else's drunken misadventure apart from yours at Bribie.

Was just a typical night out in Gladdie which ended up in the gutter, watching the passing parade of under-age slappers. At least I didn't try and "win-on" to any of em.... unlike another member of choppa's family.

I don't recall much of the following day. Actually, come to think of it.... how did we get home from Gladstone???

[Choppa]

Actually, come to think of it.... how did we get home from Gladstone???

I do believe that for at least part of the way, you were doing 100k/h power slides on your CBR :shock: :smt038

At least with the water restrictions all the water features in town are empty. :p

By "run it by the missus", I meant tell her, not ask her. ;)

Hay mate, at least I don't need permission from the missus :razz:
I wear the pants in my joint 8-)

[AndyP]

Choppa posted that on the list, not me. I've already told her what's what.

But tell me how you get the missus to walk around the house without pants. Topless too?

[Iain]

I wear the pants in my joint 8-)

Does the Mrs tell you which ones??

USTFU COAT.

[AndyP]

dc, it amazes me that you work in Customer Service.

[dc68]

:p

[poidda]

dc has kindly booked a cart for us following this evening's festivities, so I'm thinking I will skip the beers, and have a few quiet rums instead! :)

[Grunt]

Have a great nite all. Would be good to pop up for this one. Alas it cant be done .

[Choppa]

dc has kindly booked a cart for us following this evening's festivities, so I'm thinking I will skip the beers, and have a few quiet rums instead! :)

oh good thinking. Might try and book one myself now.

[AndyP]

Surely there's something in the rules against the defending champ being in a cart.

[poidda]

yup. He doesn't have to drive! :)

[Choppa]

Surely there's something in the rules against the defending champ being in a cart.

Them rules are to ensure there is no unfair advantage. Well I am taking care of that on Friday night ;)

[steverawlo]

Soooooooooooooo what's happening? As the organiser of this shindig, you should have a definite venue sorted out by now, Chop.

BTW, somewhere with a big screen would be ideal - Broncs vs Titans live on TV at 7.30.

The Vic is central, has a big screen, great beer garden, pool tables and from memory, a cheap happy hour on Friday arvos. That's got my vote but I am pretty easily pleased.

PS - I just read the first post again. "Respectable drinking establishment" is what your after eh? Maybe not The Vic then......

[BrisVegas]

Was it the Vic where you got into a punchup choppa? Maybe somewhere else then? (Although, didn't you get a free T-shirt out of it???)

[Choppa]

I've had a couple of those in town so we probably shouldn't limit our venture to places I haven't shed blood.

How about across the road and down a bit at the Embassy. It's not a bad spot now. Pool tables as well.

P.S. Only joking about the whole blood thing just in case people were getting worried about the way the night will go :) :) :)

[steverawlo]

The Embassy it is. Time??

[BrisVegas]

from 4:00pm ??

[Choppa]

I will be starting at around 4 because I know Andy and Vegas want to get on it ASAP.
So I guess people can just roll up any time after that and we will be there. Albeit in varying degrees of intoxication.

[AndyP]

Is 4 is good!

Hopefully we can get a window seat to watch the lovely ladies heading home. ;)

What time did you two lads say you were finishing up?

[Eag's]

I will meet you guys in there but won't be drinking.
Going to give the booze a miss for a while after having 3
big weekends in a row on the turps :smt030 :)

[BrisVegas]

4:00pm at the Embassy. done. see youse there.

[poidda]

Not sure if/when I will be able to make it.

[peter_rs]

Depends what time I fly in from Melb but I hope to see you boys there.

[Choppa]

Geez look at all the people piking out. Eags not drinking......we will have to fix that silly attitude. Poidda in limbo......wtf

Andy, I think think the boys all want to get hands on a McLeod Cup, and are not wanting to lose the edge by have a quiet beer the night before ;)

[BrisVegas]

speaking of piking.....

I can't make 4pm now. I have to head out and collect Meghan from daycare straight after work and then come back in for a (wife's) work function at Vic Park. Should be done by 7-ish. If you boys are still at it, I'll come along then.

[steverawlo]

I'll be doing well to get there by 5. Make sure you have a Hahn Super Dry waiting for me.....

[AndyP]

I'll be doing well to get there by 5. Make sure you have a Hahn Super Dry waiting for me.....I'm not sure what beers they have there, but I've never been a big fan of their selection on tap.

[Choppa]

Take your time Steve, we won't be going anywhere.

As for your beer, I'll have a nice Scotch and Soda waiting for you.

[BrisVegas]

steve.... how are you getting home?? :-k :idea:

[steverawlo]

steve.... how are you getting home?? :-k :idea:

At this stage I'll be jumping on a train. My brother will probably pick me up from the station or I'll get a cab. What are your plans?

[AndyP]

I've got my bone socks on and am ready to go. Is it 4 o'clock yet?
Unfortunately, I won't be able to hang around as long as I initially intended. The two boys have been turds the last couple of days, and I'll need to get home to ensure that one of them doesn't get throttled by the missus.

[BrisVegas]

I'm still coming, but won't get there til 6:30-7:00 ish, after wife's function at Vic Park is finished. Hopefully steve and I can get back to goodna on the train in one piece by a reasonable hour.

[Eag's]

Never been to the Embassy, what is it near?

[BrisVegas]

It's on the corner of Edward & Elizabeth Streets I think...

[AndyP]

Heading away from the train station along Edward St, it's one block down from the entrance to the mall.

[Choppa]

I love your bone socks Andy ;)

Who said chicks were invited? I thought this was a hairy chested, sweat fest? At least Andy won't have to drink Fire Engines all by himself :lol:

[AndyP]

Fire Engines are a blast from the past.

Are you getting there at 4 chops? I should be there within 10 minutes of that for the "sweat fest". BTW what are we doing to get so sweaty?

[poidda]

****, no one mentioned Fire Engines. I'm a definate in that case/

Will be in about 6'ish.

[Choppa]

Yep, I am leaving here at 4, so I'll be there shortly after that.

Ain't it funny how everyone actually love fire engines, but no one will admit it :) Good to see you're coming Pete.

For the people who are coming in later, my mobile is 0414 353 430 if you get lost.

[shazza_rs]

Pete is scheduled to land at 6pm.... don't think we will be able to make it there in time... have a good night fellas

[AndyP]

I swear the clocks are going backwards here.

[AndyP]

The boys looked nice and settled when I left to catch my 9:06 train (I intended to catch the 8:06 :oops:). Choppa and I had a couple of hours headstart, so there was some catching up to do by Eags, Iain, poidda, BV, Rawlo and co.

BTW it's bloody hard doing sudoku puzzles when you are pissed.

[steverawlo]

Well I left Choppa in a blubbering mess after the Titans gave it to the Broncos. I forgot how many times he told me he was going to have the matchplay wrapped up by the middle of the back nine. In any case I 'm off to catch some ZZZZZ"S and I'll post my victory speech tomorrow .BOOOOYYYAAHHHH.

[poidda]

not to mention chops 5am start to get there for tee time.

[Eag's]

Good to see the boys all out tonight, had a few laughs and listened to
Chops telling us all we were "soft" and how he was going to clean up
tomorrow :lol:

Anyways as Iain suggested, it would be good to catch up like that again
maybe every few months.
Get to know your Oz golfing mates even better :smt023
