In my defense....
I got nothing.
Did ya get a team photo?
I showed my wife gathering photo of what I missed.
Geez she said . They're all old codgers.
Maybe next year.
At least she didn't miss the spiker yesterday morning! Well done her.
That one is pretty much it. The rest were gathered around the gas barby cooking a variety of meats. The only veges spied were in Woody's hotpot.Quote:

Yes Maca and I solved all the problems of the world (which always happens when we get together) and as we go through the list the solutions are either “fuck em” or “shoot em” …. Oh except the one where we came up with the solution to two major global issues by deciding that feeding the homeless to the hungry was probably a good idea.
Bring on the next one. Autumn?
@XR500
Thankyou again for arranging this get together allowing a highly convivial atmosphere of friendly, relaxed and lightheatred banter and exchange of views. The experience was food for the soul.
It was my first time and I would certainly hope to attend the next, or another. It was a great pleasure to meet previously unmet forum members and put faces to names.
Really appreciate the opportunity and trust to do a little stalking around your farm. You reside in a lovely spot.
Take care, until next time.
Cheers
GRANT

Perhaps we could turn this into a competition next year with the winners trophy donated by Ross .... ??Quote:

I could possibly assist by rounding up some spare tricycles or chickens if admin decided they should be included .... ??
To hit that dead center in the dark took some skilled reversing. Thanks for the great company everyone. Thanks Simon for the effort put into hosting us on your property.
A little birdie told me that Maca had a bit of a headache this morning. He was blaming it on the smoke from the fire. Tui ad right there.
He must have hid the evidence: there was only about two dozen empties for me to chuck in the recycling, from 15 people. People's livers appear to have a lot more say over such events as you get more years under the belt. :)
I made sure to take my empties with meQuote:

Thanks again Simon for a great event. Sort of reminded me of my teenage years, which aren't as far back for me as some of you haha. Sitting around solving the world's problems after a couple beers, (which definitely aid with good decision making), crashing cars on the way home, hearing stories from the more fragile ones about being sick from something they ate, or having a headache from the smoky fire.
Fun times.
Good to catch up with everyone.
There's every possibility that Ross will have resat and passed his drivers licence, including the reversing bit, by then, so yeah, we could all be go for an Autumn one. Will just have to get A into G and amass some more ripping yarns over the holiday period to swap around the fire;)Quote:

Thanks Simon for great evening, the cream, ice cream, crumble and choc cake.
Did the hedgehog enjoy the new surroundings?
@Maca49
Thanks for those chicken nibbles. High yum factor. Really enjoyed consuming one or two ( maybe three ! )
He got given an enormous pile of snails when he got rehomed last night. Looked a little bit woozy later on. Wasn't sure if it was too many snails or the dropkick kicking in:omg:;)
Maybe add a set of spike harrows somewhere in the long grass as a bonus or a few shed antlers lying around would add to the excitement.Quote:

Jeeze Huk. You are a glutton for punishment! Drive all the way down from Whangarei, listen to a bunch of bullshit all evening around the fire then spin around and drive all the way back first thing in the morning:thumbsup:
It was great to have all you here, nice to be able to put faces to names and chew the fat.
See you all next year :)
Had a few friendly detours so just got home :thumbsup:
@XR500 cheers for the meet and greet, Its always good to get to know and talk with a few like minded people around a fire
Massive thanks to Simon for putting on a great evening!!
Appreciate the amount of setup and pack down that goes into something like this, along with his open hospitality.
Fun times trying to remember names.. in the dark!
Great evening with some even better yarns
Cheers Mr XR & Mrs CRF!
RIP Water trough haha
So which one of you attendees dropped the nuclear fart in the bogger and shredded the bog tent???:wtfsmilie: ;)

Wasn't me, but didn't someone bring a curry?
Looking at that green crap on the ground who ever it was was in a bad way and didn't quite make it.
I cannnot tell a lie! It was rushy
And that Boys and Girls is the after effects of the brown bottled drink called Waikato :XD:
I think one of your cattle beasts might have had an itch but If the truck is also over on its side, I’ll claim it.
Has a council building inspector done an unannounced visit by any chance?
Perhaps all those involved should meet on site to sort out where the bullshit is coming from.
You know hahaQuote:

But I didn't notice anyone there that looked like they couldn't handle proper beer.
On ya mate!Quote:
