The Antipodean thread

Sounds like the 23rd might be the go. Given it will be a little on the cooler side how about a leisurely afternoon drink somewhere? Perhaps Cookie?

 

[Smithy]

Cookie is always good and it's usually not too packed on Sunday. Plus if anyone gets hungry the grub is always great!

Sunday 23 May 2010 - a day that will live in infamy

What I meant to say is I have blocked the date in my diary. Drinkies sounds great

Pardon my ignorance, where is Cookies?

Cookie is on Swanston between Lonsdale and Little Bourke. Same building as the Rooftop Cinema. Nice bar, large selection of booze and very good Thai food.

Okay, we've got date and location

Maybe we should work around Ephraim Tutt's itinerary re a time.

He is in town visiting and may be restricted somewhat

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Thanks MikeBravo - but go ahead and make a time that suits everyone. I think I'm staying in Little Bourke and my day is flexible. I won't, however, be travelling with any vintage gear and minimal hats. So I'll be in my civvies.

Buster and the Bluegrassy Knoll

I'm not sure if you all had the chance to see the Bluegrassy Knoll do one of their Live film scores to a Buster Movie. Its been years since they have done one and it looks like they are back to do Sherlock Jr for the Jazz Festival. They are playing on the 4th of June at the Melbourne Recital Centre. Would be well worth going!

A bit of background for those interested

Small increases will never stop people smoking - they will almost not see the difference (extra $2 - no big deal)

if they increased the tax by 100% that might stop people. [huh]

 

[tuppence]

Well I feel for all the older people $2 is a big deal for them. And most of them started the habit way before health warnings ever came about.
Not to mention people with mental illness, 20% of people with a mental illness smoke, which compares to 1.7% of the general population. Unfortunately a lot of people with mental illness are unable to take quit smoking medication.
