Derek (Bec's 1/3)

can we have it around like 27/28 cos i'm most probably going away for 30/31/1 of dec..?? and i don't work fri/sat nights ... i'm up for anything as i love all foods

Let's see when it suits ppl best?

I'm up for anything!

the poll thing worked last time start with the date first and see how we go the 71 is having her respray on the 26th and will bake on the 27th so if after that u get to see her all blacked up.

You get leave around christmas? HA!! I start my week of callouts 7am Christmas day and finsh it 7am New years day. So no drinking for my over christmas/new years again.....just like last year.

I am interested, as long as my new baby is not driving my wife too nuts.

Any day suits me, I am on leave over the christmas period.

Hi Cavey,

Just vote for it. I'm sure most of us have no problems with the dates

I can't come I wont be here

have fun though

Any date is A-OK for me, i go on holidays as of 7.30am Christmas morning!!!!!

maybe we should work out a place to make sure everyone would be happy to go to?

i really enjoy pub meals LOL like steak and stuff? maybe an Irish pub? plenty of them around... or mexican? Indian is good but you usually have to order more than one dish to get good variety and stuff.. hmmm....

What are the favourite food of our members?

Mine is Asian

yeah nic i like anything as long as it ain't expecsive and tastes good i'm not real big on all types of asian but some are alright

well so far not much interest so maybe we need to settle where we're going to have it and make it a bit more official? i don't really know if waiting for everyone to say what they want is really a good idea as we'll have everyone saying they want something different. maybe just a place that is reasonably priced, good variety and easy to eat (not embarassing and messy).. If we go too much into exotic cuisine there are many things that people don't like, spice/style etc so just something simple.

Where is the best place for pub dinner/fish and chips somewhere in between Brisbane and Gold Coast.

We have Bec showing some sign of interest here.

Full Moon hotel at Sandgate? or some where Redclife?

Ok..Full moon hotel.....how are the prices? parking?

thats a bit far how about something in the city? theres plenty of pub things there..

All,

I need some brainstorming session here.

Where to eat, what to eat, price, parking?

We will try to agree upon something close

Thanks!

sandgate, no chance...lol

something more central pls

i always wanted to go to brew house in the city. but i suppose not the best meeting spot for a bunch of people who will be driving in eh

i'll have a look into a few places tomorrow that are around the central hub of the city with plenty of parking.

Forgive me for my ignorance

For some reason, I keep thinking it's Sandgate Road

brewhouse is pretty good, nice beers food is just std pub stuff

If its in the city i might look at catchin a train up n joinin u peeps
Just need 2 a date set to have off work - a good feed w good beer on tap sounds sweet as!
Havent seen any starletto people in ages!!

Mundi

yeah i don't even like beer but it sounds great haha

i would recommend ashmore steak and seafood, you dont need to book, and can turn up with a group of 50 and they dont care. one problem might be, it is on the gold coast

Been there...yes it's at the Gold Coast....free bread though..lol

i am so hungry. There is apparently a good place in Wooloogabba that do the best steaks in Brisbane.. I can't remember the name. Also a place there that does $10 steaks on friday nights.. Anyway i'll get onto looking for places tomorrow

good steaks at wooloongabba is at norman hotel, also at the morrison hotel

however - neither are cheap, looking at around $30 for a main

ew $30 thats not cool..

tis fine with me, but i work more often than you do hanim

i dunno why i'm so obsessed with steak for this bahah i barely ever eat steak or even beef lol
hehe i'm a cheap skate, i'd be happy to spend $30 it is for a special occasion

Norman Hotel steak are good

I wouldn't mind $30 a steak + starlet owners + my b'day!

Okay we've got:

• Pinapple Hotel - Kangaroo Point - http://www.pineapplehotel.com.au/default.htm
• Brekky Creek Hotel - http://www.breakfastcreekhotel.com
• Melbourne Hotel - West End -
• Norman Hotel - Wooloongaba - http://www.normanhotel.com.au/
• Boardwalk Bar & Bistro - City - http://www.boardwalkbar.com.au/
• Brewhouse - City - http://www.thebrewhouse.com.au/
• The Plough Inn - South Bank - http://www.ploughinn.com.au/
• Bar Burlesque (HAHA jokes)
• The Caxton - Caxton St Red Hill (?) - http://www.caxton.com.au/
• Belgian Beer Cafe - City - http://www.belgianbeercafebrussels.com.au/
• Morrison Hotel (Fiasco Steak House) - Wooloongabba
• Story Bridge hotel - Kangaroo Point - http://www.storybridgehotel.com.au
• Chalk Hotel - Wooloongabba

Ok thats a heap if we go a week night easy parking for all of them. If not there is parking available. Most of these are probably busier fri & sat nights so a booking would be needed if we went then.

Yeh...we got a list now..Thanks Hanim....

So list your choices people!

My choice is Norman but anywhere is still fine as long it's good

i vote NOT plough inn its a bit sh*t IMO, lol

what about chalk? has a decent car park at least?

last time i went to chalk it was full of 40 year old men and my friend & i were the only young girls there and we felt like peices of steak

it's a nice place though! i vote for one of the funky beer houses in the city but parking is a problem

yeah belgian beer cafe is fun

so is brewhouse

id just train it if we went to city, lol

Caxton has 2 for 1 deal on Mondays

http://www.caxton.com.au/content.asp?page=chargrill

If we ever decide on Caxton, we will need to book...they are always full out

Monday Mates Rates: Locals and Mates Rates card holders receive main meals for 1/2 price from 6pm in the Char Grill & Terrace Bar! Don't have a mates rates card? Ask us how!

do you have a card or are you a local? i wouldn't get that

theres 2for tuesday

Oh damn...didn't realise that....coz my colleague was telling me it's 2 for 1......he must been a local/card holder...

Oh well....

Ok...this is what I think

Can someone (jezza/hanim) decide the place ? then we are done?

Easier that way....btw...i'm not familiar with many places for steak.....so it's best for you guys to decide...

How bout we all go to Breakfast Creek hotel, its in the City well near enuff, you can gett Big Mcfuck off steaks and there's plenty of parking available, othewise you can go across the river to the Breakfast Creek Wharf for Seafood.
Now they aint gunna be $7 Happy meals, so for those of you on the poorer side of life may wanna save a few of your hard earned Dole monies!

Anywhere in the CBD is ok as well, but more expensive and there is no parking excpet for $8 dollar/hour under the Myer Centre.
Or if you all wanna poo poo that we can all go to Pizza Hut and dine into the Resturant, if there is one left anywhere in Brissy!

Jared

Sounds good. What say you, the rest?

hanim knows where there is an all you can eat pizza hut, lets go there

yeah i know one cos i'm poo poo and don't wanna spend all my hard earned dole monies haha it's at browns plains LOL so good luck to u jared going all the way there.. plus i dunno it's kinda like sizzler you don't really get your monies worth and i was feeling all shitty afterwards cos there was some hugely fat people eating there so yeah it's kinda on my not to do list anymore

i'm not really fussed where we go hey, as long as food isnt over priced i'm happy, i've got a bit of money coming in now from working so i'm all sweet

mcfuckoff sized steaks sounds good for the guys and i've always wanted to go there but i don't care hey haha city parking is generally a flat rate of about $10 after 6pm anyway but it would be good not having to pay that

yeah lets just do brekky creek hotel

steaks not as good as on the other side of the river but they got a bigger carpark

sure jezz? i mean chalk/norman is just as accessible, if not more

brekky creek has more tables too, so prob be better i reckon

cool, well i'll give it a week or two for people to say if they're coming then i'll book for brekky creek i guess

do we have a date yet? lol
