briancol 3 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 Glenn put on a shout at Fibber McFees last night. He had won a $100.00 bar tab and had advertised the fact on the forum and invited any Bimmersporter to attend. Well you rotton 'stay at homers' you don't know what you have missed out on. Glenn had also invited his staff and several of his friends, but only two bimmersporters took up the offer. Of course the $100.00 didn't last very long, but Glenn did give his credit card rather a bashing and between the platters of food and beer, a damn good time was had by everyone there. What's wrong with the members here, we are in a recession and someone offers free beer, and only two of us show up. Shame on all you members. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briancol 3 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 Lame excuses. What do you guys expect? You get free beer, do you also want free taxis or your motel paid for? You're all a weak lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to disappoint you, but seeing that no one showed up there was soooo much free beer that Glenn and I got blind drunk and only had eyes for the gorgeous blonde barmaid.

What's wrong with the members here, we are in a recession and someone offers free beer, and only two of us show up. Shame on all you members. That's a bit harsh don't you think? While I enjoy going to some of the meetings, my life does not revolve around Bimmersport meetings. A lot of us here have lives outside this forum and as such were probably otherwise engaged, and I don't really feel like I should have to explain why I wasn't there. Although both you and Glenn are great people and Glenn was more than generous with offering to share his bartab,if we don't turn up it's our problem. BTW 'free beer' is not the be all and end all for me personally. However the people that said they WOULD be there SHOULD have turned up! Just out of curiosity how many members here actually said they would attend? Edit: Just had a look, it looks as though hardly any members ACTUALLY confirmed they would be there, so I don't see why you are getting your panties in a twist over this.

pjay 8 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 Friday.. what did I do Friday? sh*t I have no idea.. No wait!! I remember! I went to the skatepark and had a skate with the guys, filled the chilly bin. Went home got changed, went Hangar, then Muriwai for the yearly 4WD carpark party. Got cracked down by the police around 12ish, then back to Hangar and danced till 2. Then Back to a mates where we continued to finish the beer, chat sh*t, and dance until 4.30am in her lounge. Safe to say, I think I was busy with prior commitments.

martyyn 2 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 I dont know about your Auckland efforts, but after having tried to get people to the Wellington ones for the last five years I can sympathise with both camps. Ive lost count of the amount of people who have failed to turn up after posting on the thread to say they would. Its happened so many times we've given up organising them because those that do turn up see each other regularly anyway. As I have a young family though, sometimes my plans can change very quickly which means sometimes I cant make it at the last minute. Although Id like to think my past attendance has given me the right to drop out every now and then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
