I completely forgot to post this to the newsgroup, which doesn't happen
very often. It was RSVP by lunch time today but since it's way past lunch
time, anyone who's interested in coming will have to call me at home
either this evening or tomorrow. Sorry about this, guys! If I'm not home,

leave a message with my trusted flatmate David.


*** start ***

Hi everyone!

Here is the final detail of the gathering;

Date: Saturday 23 November
Time: 5:30pm
Place: Flat 4, 15 Musgrave Road, Indooroopilly, Q. 4068
Phone: (w) 3365 5935
(h) 3878 5617
Activities: Watch the first 4 eps of the 4th season X-Files
Bring:

*bean bags or small chairs (we have chairs but I don't think there's enough)
*chips and other nibblies (spell?) - I don't have all the utensils needed
for cooking, so I won't be making anything!! (I used to use my
ex-flatmates' stuff)
* money for pizza
* hand held fan if you don't like the heat (it can get quite hot at our place)

R.S.V.P. : Friday lunchtime - so that I know how much soft drink I should get

I will supply soft drinks, paper cups, plates and serviettes. I'm broke at
the moment so I hope you guys will excuse me if I only supply bare
essentials!

I (well, my flatmate, actually) managed to get a big TV going so I don't
need one. Thanks Rob and Seb for the offer!

If you are driving, probably the best way to go about it is to park your
car in the shopping centre car park (next to McDonald's) and walk. You can
try parking on Musgrave Road but it may be a bit hard to find a space at
that time of the night.

Looks like this gathering is going to be a fairly small one, which is just
as good because I'm not quite sure if we can fit 20+ people in our lounge!
(And it will probably too hot, anyway..)

From Nina

Don't worry. You should be able to make quite good money from
supplying bare essentials.

All you need is a nice shared flat/house for less than $75/wk (I wouldn't
pay more for an accomodation, I don't think!) with all the furniture
provided (I have TV, video player, blender, iron, ironing board and some
weights for training) near Indooroopilly shopping centre. Oh, and you'll
have to leave the toilet seat down. And do your own dish within 24 hours
of using them, and clean the floor at least once a month, and change the
toilet paper occasionally, and ....

If you are a female, just be a nice person living in a neat flat/house in
Indooroopilly. Time for that surgery, $teve!

Nina, take some advice from one who knows, don't do it!

Yup. It's good to change toilet paper rolls to suit your mood.
I like the scented ones after a hard day at the office and plain ones
for those days when I feel indecisive.<g>


Linen

Actually I forgot to add '(of course I don't believe any of this)' after
the word 'innocent'. I was in a hurry to post this, you see.

They can surgically implant niceness? Scary...

I wasn't planning on sleeping with her :) Actually, wouldn't want to
anyway. But that's beside the point. Also Ms Fraser, if it was a shared
accomodation, I'd have some storage space of my own :-P

I don't know why, but that comment strucks me as particularly funny.
Perhaps the images of Nina and articulated vehicles tickles my funny
bone :)

Somedays doing research for a sitcom is difficult.

Other days, Nina justs gives you what you want without having to ask.

OK, I can cook, clean [use to do housecleaning as a partime job], has
own furniture (including computer). Yeah, I'd fit that criteria easy
enough.

> If you are a female,

wonderful asset when it works.

Nice? Nice? DON"T CALL ME NICE


>Time for that surgery, $teve!

I get to play Doctors with Nina? Oh yes please <laughter sound track>

The worst ones are the decor style, designed to match wallpaper and
colour schemes.

I think that really, I don't want a roll of chamelon toilet paper. When
you want the stuff, having to remember where the hell on the wall you
left it because it's blended so well with the background will be an ugly
experience for all concerned. :)
