I recall meeting @dingo at a pre-Xmas Ferners do in 2008. He had an interesting choice of shirt, if I remember correctly.
What was the year we had Xmas drinks? I'll always remember the year we met in the loo...
That same year, I think? We met at Four Kings, possibly? Or maybe the Establishment. That was a lot of nights ago. I managed to fall asleep on the train out to Ava (Lower Hutt), and woke up 6 stops later at Pomare & alighted without my wallet. Not ideal...
Oh yeah I was actually living in the UK then but was back in nz just before Xmas. Four Kings sounds about right, for some reason I think I have a vague recollection of electric avenue?
Anyway not as bad as my mate - went to the 7s at twickers, he lived in North London, got on a train and woke up in Brighton, after midnight.
I bet he still had his wallet though. I had to talk my way back onto the train which was returning from Upper Hutt, and began the painful process of replacing all my cards/IDs a week before Xmas.
It was handed in 3 months later at a branch of my bank with everything except for the $50 cash I had in there.

@Smudge you should have gone door knocking in Pomare to get it back.
I daresay that wouldn't have ended well...

@Catogrande terminates at Tower Hill doesn't it?
It can do (and others from memory) but in reality there is no terminus. Funny story, a guy I knew went up to London for the first time for an interview and got on the circle line going the wrong way round and though "Oh well, it's the Circle Line, it will get me there". Which of course it did just two hours late for the interview.
Circle Line does not complete a Circle, it just has a stupid name (unless you physically change platform and train)
However, the fun ride to be had in your sleep is the Northern Line -Charing Cross branch heading south. Will usually terminate at Kennington where those that are awake swap over the Bank branch and continue on...however, those that are asleep go for a ride on the unmapped loop that turns the train around and heads north again. You can hop on and 30 minutes later be back in the same place, confused as hell.

Had a couple of beers this afternoon with the Fern legend @Bullethole (aka Barnya), as he had made the stupid decision to come down to Wellington in March for a cricket test. He's well, a functioning member of society and has a lovely girlfriend. God, I hate what he's become.

@Smudge I'll be in town for a week in the middle of May if you want to feel better about yourself.
Could we not meet in a urinal this time?

Sorry I'm busy.

Read half the thread title.
Make a series of wrong assumptions based on what you’ve misread.
Post an argumentative reply based on those assumptions garnished with a totally irrelevant personal anecdote.
Post a picture of a totally unrelated hottie.
Beva boter to spill chick.
It’s the Fern DNA.

Arrived at TSF just in time for the 2005 Lions...kept quiet for the most part until cricket season starts at which point I get a bit more involved. Only played rugby at boarding school,(as a wing and as hooker - the tiny guy positions back then).
moved to aus in 2008 from barmy Palmy and never looked back - but TSF has been always on my go to list.

I'm here for my free beer!
