But happies happies old man in the mean time

[Hubris]

Hey Fly,

Sounds legend - keen beans! No need to sleep over.

Will bring my girlfriend along, her name is Paul Tate - she also plays for Grrr.

[flycatchr]

paul, actual BD on the 23rd, closest furthest Sat on 26th, bummer you cant make it

[Paul]

Well give some more detail and I will see if I can pop around, even just for a bit

[flycatchr]

cool

[s3xy_j0nny]

damn. 40?! DAMN. Would've made a trek up to JHB if I'd had more warning.

[NiteShade]

Dirk and I will be there!!! I make a killer potato salad... gimme an estimate of peeps attending and I'll make enuff for all to enjoy!

[Thor_23]

Hi Fly,

I think I have that date open and would love to attend!

[Phatso]

Eish Mr Catchr... Would love to join you guys, but alas, the date is already booked for a(nother) close friends BDay bash.

Will most definitely be there in spirit though :wootdance:

[Onyx]

We will probably be moving in/settling/cleaning that weekend but we will DEFINITELY come around, even if only from about 6pm onwards.

[flycatchr]

thanks for the response guys, phats - gonna miss you BUT if it means moving the date one weekend i can easily make it the 5th, cause then phats and paul could be there - how does that suit everyone else?

[NoMaD]

yip im easy capeasy! :)

[NiteShade]

Should be fine for us, will just confirm with my other half.

[NiteShade]

Ok, we can make the 5th too.

[Thor_23]

5th should be fine for me

[Jackal-GI]

The 5th is also open for me so yeah will be there the 5th

[Stu]

Ahhh nice one, just celebrated my boets 40th! good times....

All the best Fly pop's !!

[J_Th4ng]

I'm in Jozi from the 28th until the 3rd anyway, and would be keen to extend my stay and join you all for the party. However, in order to minimise costs, I'd need somewhere to stay on the nights of the 4th and the 5th. Anyone got a spare room that I could crash in?

Need to know soonest, I have my flight booking on hold...

[NiteShade]

You're more than welcome to stay by us, Jarrod, if you are willing to drive out to Springs.

[J_Th4ng]

Would I need to bring my passport?

Thanks Sheri, I may well take you up on that. How far is Springs away from Jozi?

[NiteShade]

LOL

Umm, I don't know. However, from the Airport to my house it is like 43km.

[J_Th4ng]

Damn, that's a long way. Especially considering that Fly lives on the other side of town.

If you don't mind, I'll see if anyone else has a vacancy that's a little closer... I'll be wanting to do some other stuff around Jozi while I'm there and would prefer not to drive out so far.

Thanks a lot for the offer though!!

[flycatchr]

if you are prepared to stay out lanseria way i could chat to my mom, i will see if her spare bed with en-suit is available.

[J_Th4ng]

Okay, I've managed to secure a bed at some friends of the family that live out in the West Rand. Thanks for the offer to stay with you guys Sheri, under normal circumstances I'd love to, but it makes far more sense to stay near where Fly's place is.

Anyway, you can add one more grrr name to the attendee list for the first of several 40th birthdays this year! :D

[flycatchr]

wooohoooo drags thats awesome - i seriously am honoured> :)

[baselineac]

i hope you got a warm space in your bed behind your back......

[J_Th4ng]

Fly, could you post and address and suburb please, I have a GPS so should be able to find it what that. Also, what time is the party starting, what is the dress code, what do I need to bring, etc.

[flycatchr]

[Onyx]

Thanks, fly! It was a great afternoon/evening and thanks to your mom and dad for having us all there. I hope we didn't embarrass you too much :D

[Paul]

Sorry I missed it but I had a wedding at the same time. Jackie was a bridesmaid so we couldn'y exactly cancell. Would have prefered to be at the braai though.

[J_Th4ng]

Thanks Mike, was a great afternoon, even thoguh everyone got lost on the way there :)

Was good to meet Mother Hubbard and Nomnomnom for the first time, and of course to see everyone else again. Well worth staying on for the weekend in Jozi.

Watch this space for details of the next big party of the year - a XXXL ;)
