Deano,

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:42 am**

Thanks.

Met my first lot of D70Users on Sunday for the Werribee Zoo safari. Had a great time and looking forward to meeting more of you on Friday.

Cheers
Dean

Of course I have met GregB but that doesn't count any more - he's a mod now.

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2005 11:13 am**

HEY. Mods have feelings too you know :lol:

See you and the GLW on Friday Dean, Rosanne is coming along too (just the mention of Pizza will do the trick!)

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2005 7:09 pm**

Hi All,,count on an extra two from outer west,,,

looking forward to meeting you all,

Norm and Sharon

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2005 8:31 pm**

Greg,

With the numbers being up arund 14 now, might a phone call to the place to make a booking be in order?

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2005 8:35 pm**

They might like us more.

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2005 9:38 pm**

My wife is joining me. I think we better do some advance booking to avoid any potential problems.

regards,

Arthur

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:04 pm**

Late breaking news.....

One Metre Pizza appears to be kaput. The phone number now belongs to a confused asian gentleman (the confusion arising entirely from my phone call).

Stand by for further developments......

Gary, I'll speak to you in the morning - PM me your phone number

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:10 pm**

152 Lygon Street
Carlton VIC 3053
(03) 9639 0923

is this there correct phone number Greg b?

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:16 pm**

redline, that is the number I have, I have double checked it on the net, it is correct, I called that number, no pizza.

Posted: **Tue Mar 01, 2005 11:33 pm**

Sounds like when we tried to call up La Trattoria in Rathdown. No answer, later to find out they've moved.

Would be good for businesses if the occupier has changed hands that a message comes up in the first 5 rings to state that they've moved. This message lasts for say 1-3months.

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2005 7:07 am**

Plan B might be to go with the other place accross the road from where they were ... I think Kipper or Redline mentioned it a while ago when we originally planned this back in November.

Biggish place, and been there for .... ages ...

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2005 7:11 am**

Totos. It was meicw who mentioned it.

How does that sound?

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2005 8:32 am**

Sounds fine to me. It was the first Pizza joint to open in Melbourne, so there is even an historical context.

We probably need to book. Gary, I'll give you a call this morning

cheers

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2005 9:26 am**

Greg,

Exactly, and anytime.

For all who may be interested (and for those who may get misplaced on Friday evening) my mobile is 0400 817 042.

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2005 11:17 am**

I am attempting to secure a booking at Totos.

Mama at 9:30 was unable to assist, suggested I call back one hour.

The gentleman at 11:00 was unable to assist, suggested I call back after 2pm and talk to Serge who handles all such matters.

I have diarised accordingly and will post the results right here.

Stay tuned.......

Friday night is looking to be the first time I will have eaten solid food ( other than a muffin at Werribee ) in what'll be a week, so I don't care what we eat, or where as long as it is cooked to the point that no germs will attack me again...

Wherever we end up we should probably provide a map to the nearest parking area as well ( don't know how parking is up that end of the city ).. whereis.com.au should be a great help

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2005 12:05 pm**

Dean,

You can park on the streets, usually within a block or so of Lygon. There's a street directly opposite the park that usually has spaces.

And we could all front up to Vanbar before dinner, each asking to play with a D2X.

I doubt they have any of the D2x! :wink:

Posted: **Wed Mar 02, 2005 6:32 pm**

I doubt it too.

But wouldn't be cool if 15 or so people rock in, just befpre closing time, and all ask to see a D2x?

And who says that I'm warped?
