blueandblack is feeling slightly unwell but still manages to man the drinks cart well enough to hand the first round of beers out. jazza drops in, the drops out almost immediately. jono enters, and offers to buy a round whilst lamenting about the nickname that the boys at work have given him - which in turn allows them to pay out on him constantly.
Burgs and fulvio_sammut join the chat - everyone is asking Burgs about what's been happening on tour.. apparently Burgs is having a great time and is giving his passport a good work out through the USA which gets everyone very jealous. Lots of pictures have been taken, which need to be shared.
blackandblue hands out another round of drinks - more bourbons ordered this time.
fulvio has a problem - a Welshman has left a pile of 70's framed memorabilia for him to keep. A discussion ensues about what to do with it - ideas include auctioning it to raise money for TWF, donating it to the local rugby club, keeping it, selling it.. fulvio goes and checks exactly what he has.
oxleymoron leaves and Burgs decides it's time to go to bed as he has a train to catch.
fulvio realises he has quite a few items and welshrugbyfan kindly offers to take it off his hands.
Coach and laura pop in. Everyone has spent a lot of money kitting the family out in discounted Force gear and agree that Foxtel Platinum is a waste of money.
blackandblue is working very hard and is pushing the drinks cart around again. This time there are choccy snakes on there too. People are getting fussy with what beers they like.
force_addict and Evie enter - talk turns to laptops (ooh shiny) and how much (or little) they cost. Greegs is going to be signing stuff at Evie's work and everyone wants to send over stuff for him to sign.
travelling_gerry comes in amidst Olympic, rugby and politics and miscellaneous sport chatter.
blackandblue hands another quick round of drinks around. How is no one pissed yet! gerry asks for a whole bottle of red wine.
The alcohol must be kicking in - talk turns to Stephanie Rice, hot female atheletes and lesbian softball players.
TraceTrace (me!) and pieter_blackie pop in - it's music talk now and jono is going to the Leopold to see Screaming Jets. I think the Leopold is full of "special people" (not gay people, just bogans). jono drops a couple of bogan jokes and directs chatters to uncyclopedia. Very politically-incorrect copy-and-pasting of the definition of a particular religion follows before jono declares he'd had too much to drink (going to the pub before joining chat will do that) and needs sleep.
Talk again turns to beer, Cougar, and as a result, the Cougar girl. More naughty jokes continue and gerry offers to boot if the ladies became offended (thanks gerry!).
blueandblack does drinks orders again but has to outsource my strawberry daiquiri because no one can spell it. pieter has gone quiet so blueandblack decides to kick him where it hurts the most. No movement.
Everyone starts worrying about who is going to do the chat report - jono reckons whoever mentions the word "chat" and "report" in the same sentence has to do it (he who smelt it dealt it!)
I recall trying to keep very quiet at this stage however somehow I was unanimously nominated and everyone simultaneously "had to leave" chat
Apologies to gerry for the silent treatment - in the process of trying to obtain a chat log I managed to kick myself out of chat!
