Loves the pipes.

Saturday night is the Feast of St. Andrew Dinner at the Cambridge armouries, I'll probably be playing at it. Also, I'm heading up to Petawawa tomorow (picking up the CADPAT Bagpipe covers) and won't be back until Mid day Saturday. I think my weekend is shot.

I'd still like to get together and play some tunes though...

Too bad I won't be on leave at this time. My parents live in Guelph. I'll be there over Christmas.

I highly recommend the Pennywhistle for any sort of get togethers.

just me... · « **Reply #53 on:** November 23, 2006, 19:27:31 »

im still interested in meeting up as well if it works with my work schedule

Jaydub · « **Reply #54 on:** November 23, 2006, 19:40:43 »

If anyone has gone to the Pennywhistle within the last couple years and seen a Navy sticker and Ship's Hats behind the bar, I gave it to them!

I also tagged the stage at the Manor with a Navy sticker, but they peeled it off!

After getting ambushed by the Librarian and Air/Navy Mich in the chat the other night I was going to have a get-together in Cambridge but
after thinking about it I decided it will be the known rather than the unknown. The bar is right beside two hotels, the bus from Toronto stops right there for the University students, it will be one road up from Burlington for Vern and just a 10 dollar cab ride for me back home.

Wednesday the 27th of December.................timings are very flexable.

Zoom in on the purple part, thats the U of G. Then zoom in close to the corner of Stone Road and Gordon Street, the bar is called Shakespeare Arms, just in a bit on Harvard Road, and it is just behind the No Frills store/ Portly Penquin that is on the corner.

For those coming from out of town just follow the Days Inn directions as the bar is just 100 more feet on the left/right. [depending on direction]

Quote from: Bruce the guy who likes to modify other peoples posts and make them have to rewrite them

Try again....I was modifing when you posted.
Bruce

You had to modify my post, eh? Couldn't just post stuff all in one shot, could ya?!

I type like a monkey picking at another monkeys head for tasty lice... You know how long it takes me to spit out a single line?!?! DO YA?!?

jeez.. mods...

Anyway, Sounds good to me.. I going to say I'm in for now... unless something crazy happens.

BTW.. back to what I typed that was very quickly changed:
This is a good opportunity for other pipers in the area (who may be there) to save shipping on CADPAT bag covers, if they're interested.

I'm in Brantford at my mom's for the holidays, so sounds good for sure. I leave on the 29th though, so I won't be staying overnight. Timing ideas from anyone? I would prefer a later afternoon start and then supper maybe?

recceguy · « **Reply #60 on:** December 14, 2006, 09:39:36 »

Heck, I can be there when they open for that matter.

Hi Everyone

Just wondering if you'd all be up for having the meet and greet for Fri Dec 29th? I checked my schedule and I am in fact working til 11pm on the 27th

If you all have made plans for sure for this day, don't worry but thought I'd mention that.

Bruce Monkhouse · « **Reply #62 on:** December 14, 2006, 19:41:19 »

Nope, no good for myself, Librarian or Airmich.......sorry.

Greetings Bruce,

This is David Henry writing from Chicxulub Yucatan.

Sorry I didn't make it to Guelph last summer. Next year for sure.

A question...have you had time to check the US military history re ME/CFS in GW1?

I would appreciate your comments on the 30% disability rate from a four day war.

"Osler's Web" pub Penquin 1997 is a good reference.

Let me leave you with another question...

Rumsfeld ignored the advice of his top Generals that 500,000 troops were needed
to do the job in Iraq.

Is it possible that Rumsfelds "War Lite" strategy was driven more by the fact that
he knew he risked being exposed as the secretary of Defence,who in 1990 signed the order
for the compulsory anthrax vaccination (AVA) which is the most likely reason for the
high disability rate...30%.

In short the "War Lite" strategy was driven by the fact that he knew that he could not
field 500,000 troops without raising the profile of the GW1...30% disabled issue.

over to you

cheers DH

Rebecca from past experience with these things (especially with one or two individuals who shall remain nameless

) these meet & greets usually go past 11:00 and if we're pushing it maybe 11:00 am

. So come on down after work, extra nurses would proably be welcome too. If the local changes as the night goes on we'll leave a grid ref for the next RV.

airmich · « **Reply #67 on:** December 14, 2006, 21:12:40 »

Umm, I guess I haven't been following the whole thread. I never knew he was coming.

Danjanou, despite the stories you may have heard, I'm not the sailor chick I was in TO!

Danjanou · « **Reply #68 on:** December 14, 2006, 21:14:18 »

Actually I was referring to some of the mods mich.....

airmich · « **Reply #69 on:** December 14, 2006, 21:17:09 »

Of course you were, because I am sweet and innocent and don't drink and definitely don't stay out past dark.

So this airmich is as much a liar as navymich was, is she?

proudnurse · « **Reply #71 on:** December 14, 2006, 21:18:28 »

Well Dan, thanks for the encouragement.......since I could use a break cause it does not happen often, lol, and Guelph is just around the corner from me, sounds like everyone will still be there pretty late so I may just treat myself to a road trip after work

see you all on the 27th

Crap!! We must be twins then!! Seperated at birth apparently.

Hot damn, I ignore a thread for a few months, and you go and schedule another meet.

Unfortunately, I'm leaving for Newfoundland on the 26th, but I'll be back on the 3rd, hopefully some of you guys will still be thirsty by then.

(Bruce: half of Guelph is a $10 cab ride from the SA)
