Goemon 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Normally the Goemons would like to join in the Tokyo fun too, but we'll be in Yamanashi for a wedding this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 that's too bad Goemon. next time eh! Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Would love to meet up BP but I'm working Sat & Sun so can't get into Tokyo til pretty late (around 9) then would have to leave around 11:30 for the last train. Might be able to drive in. Depends where you all decide to go. Tsondaboy, Sock Monkey are you two going to be around too? Finish work on the 10th Oct for 3 months so will be okay to meet anyone, anytime after that (unless I'm in hosp!). Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 mejane, I'm sure we'll be out somewhere still at 9! If you can then come out and meet us Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 BP, am out with some mates Sat night in tokyo also I think, maybe meet up for a few cheeky cold ones if you`re near? Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I'm sure you will too. Just that dealing with the trains while preggers is not much fun. I'm only an hourish from Shibuya but if you end up going somewhere 90 mins or more away then I might not be able to stay long enough to make it worth it. Would be cool to meet up though. Talk to you tomorrow anyway. Farquah, I'll just be drooling over the cheeky cold ones. Link to post Share on other sites
sock_monkey 0 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 my dinner plans for Sat night fell through so i can meet up for a few drinks. i'm prob heading to ochanomizu/jimbocho lateish afternoon to check out some gear. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 hopefully see you guys (assuming I get there too~!). Jane, I sure understand about the baby.... Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Apologise for not making it in on Sat. Had a couple of turtle carcasses wash up in afternoon, and by the time I had finished the roads were chocablock! Hope it was a good one anyway, and will hopefully make amends next time! Get any new gear in BP whilst down? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 No worries farquah! Next time! Yeah, I picked up a helmet nice and cheap Was pretty stoked at the price too. Hey, Sock Monkey, Sunrise and I were speculating at your name. Is it a reference to the guy in Shrek? Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 That's sad, farquah. Oh well, another time... Didn't we sort that one out, Bushie? That was a fun nite, and great food...! And what a dessert!!!! Good to meet you, nice to see you again Socky baby. Hope to catch you on the slopes on one of your go slow days again. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yep, good night indeed Sunrise! Nice to meet you guys and have a laugh over some good food. By the way, the two Aussies I work with confirmed my usage of date! Link to post Share on other sites

Is it a reference to the guy in Shrek? No, it has to do with a combo of Mickey Skinner an ex English rugby player (his bosh catch phrase) and my grandad`s middle name. Good to know I was a topic of speculation though! Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 What would I know about such things anyway? I looked on the web and there it was in the slang dictionary Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 But - is it an Aussie word? Or other native English speaking countries use it that way also? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 cheers farquah! We were way off! Sunrise I hadn't really thought of it as an Aussie slang (although it may be). I had thought the line "give him a kick up the date!" was universal Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 it probably is but I've never heard it myself Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Sorry, I didn't make it either. I'll be there next time Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 look forward to it mejane. How are things with minime? Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Apologies for not taking part in this thread earlier. I would have loved to join, but I am busy as hell lately and couldn’t make it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 no worries Tsondaboy. Sunrise and Sock Monkey were wondering where you might have been. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I am in a business hotel in Siojiri (Nagano) and will be here till Tuesday. I am setting up instruments in the surrounding mountains. One stations is actually inside Ecovaley ski grounds. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Sure sounds better than being in Tokyo! Hi Jane, we wondered if you had gone into labor and that's why you couldn't make it! We also wondered what would have happened if you'd made it and suddenly gone into labor over dinner! Well, all the best for the birth when the lucky day finally arrives!
