I know where Sneak got it from.

It was an extract from the wrestling script he sent into Vince mcmahon when he allpied for the new writers job at the WWF.

You always favour my little brothers over me and you never send me a birthday card.

He's been! I nearly fell off my chair when I found someone other than ColdWizard posting. Besides me, of course.

Hydey - I'm trying to organise another group dinner. Can you get to Sydney? Saturday night would probably be easiest for everyone. You can stay here if you like. How about it?

Hydey · May 9, 2002, 07:28

when are you thinking of holding this meeting, I could always drive up (only 10 hours) or I could fly up with someone picking me up or you could pay for a Taxi

Hydey · May 9, 2002, 07:39

The chance to meet Mr spotless in person is too good to knock back

It's only about 20 minutes from the airport to my place these days with the new tunnel in operation. About $30 in a cab, including tolls.

Do you know your way around Sydney? If not, better to fly. It can be a bastard.

He's even sneakier around the dinner table than he is in the game. Last time, he started a food fight but claimed he didn't.

Hydey · May 9, 2002, 08:07

He better behave himself or I may vomit on him

Hydey · May 9, 2002, 08:35

I will be here for this Friday night but will have to finish by midnight, should be online by about 8:30, when the footy starts on the TV

finbar · May 9, 2002, 08:37

Is our Swedish friend paying attention?

Alexander's Horse · May 9, 2002, 08:41

Wait till you see finbar's house son - he has a helicopter pad and goes by the name of Kerry when he's not at home.

Hydey · May 9, 2002, 08:55

If thats the case I will expect to be picked up by finbars helicopter.

Is that the one Deity thought was cheating or was that someone else.

SuperSneak · May 9, 2002, 14:48

I live in what could be termed the "multi-cultural" part of town, so my slang is authentic.
As a side note, it is amazing that the auto business has a very rich and disturbing vernacular of its own. Lots of disparaging terminology directed at customers and their financial status.

Oh, and I'll be expecting my invitation to dinner in the post ASAP. I'll bring the balsamic and the beer.

No, the guy Deity thought was cheating was - we think - an 11 year old without a great command of English.

Mmmm. On second thoughts, could well have been any of us, couldn't it.

Picked it up hanging around the street corners? Do you wear "colours"? By which, of course, I mean "c-o-l-o-r-s".

Bit like this forum, ai.

You're most welcome Sneak, you know that. You just have to get here. I'd suggest we all chip in towards your airfare, but the response might be, um, embarrassing.

SuperSneak · May 9, 2002, 23:13

Oh, I'm sure you can cover it.
I'll tell you what I'll do...I'll ship you a nice convertible Solara for the low, low price of $35,000 to make it up to you.

Do we know what is going to be on the menu this time? I'm thinking a nice London broil or some Coho salmon tacos with a mild mango salsa?

Soundwave · May 9, 2002, 23:30

Right i'm back now adn in Brisbane, Australia i can start playing games in about 2 weeks, i have to get this house sorted with a 'friend' and the Australians only do things when they want...

Depending whether I can find enough really ripe tomatoes - the tomato season now just about over down here - I'll probably start with a Panzanella.

Then I'll offer a choice of either Grilled Swordfish with Salmoriglio Sauce on Braised Fennel and Silverbeet with Sage Potatoes, or a Veal Cutlet in a Saltimbocca Style with a Red Wine and Rosemary Jus and Sage Potatoes.

For pud, I'll probably do my Licorice Parfait with a Lime Syrup.

Which is only as it should be.

I'll just have a bowl of chips thanks.

Alexander's Horse · May 10, 2002, 07:37

Just don't wear that shirt son.

Hydey · May 10, 2002, 07:41

the one you sent me for Xmas ?

SuperSneak · May 10, 2002, 14:54

It all sounds pretty good except for that disgusting lime-licorice concoction.

The lime syrup undercuts the richness and sweetness of the licorice. Works a treat. Trust me.

Alexander's Horse · May 11, 2002, 08:45

Don't forget to get some Fountain tomato sauce in for Hydey.

Hydey · May 11, 2002, 09:19

yes sauce for my bowl of chips, and I will just have some ice cream for pudding

SuperSneak · May 11, 2002, 15:23

Why do I have a vision of Hydey with the table cloth tucked into that football shirt, elbows on the table, fondling all the finger sandwiches and putting them back on the plate?
You may end up having to do a bit of a Pygmalion session before the meal with Eliza here.
