Ok well seeing as i have to work till 9 pm on Saturday it will be Sunday morning before i can get to Suzhou, sorry guys.
Seeing as i don't have to work on Monday, nor do my two g/friends it sounds like Shamrock's will be the place for us.
See you all there.

Bugs has arrived and she's really cool. She and Con are downstairs...they started talking about cricket so I bolted in search of something more interesting, like watching dust gradually collect on my furniture. No word yet from Nolefan or Juanbimba, so none of us are sure if our reservations at Mario's are for 6:30 or 7. However, I suppose that if we all start showing up and trying to buy the customers' women, they'll find a way to seat us.

Better. I gots pitchers. Just can't tell ya how nice it was to have everyone here. Meeting the Extremely Interesting Miss "What country you from, exactly?" Bugalugs was a major treat, and it's always great to have the Thoroughly Delightful (if untrustworthy) Juanbimba and the Easily Tolerable Nolefan in town. Same's true of the Deep Fried Da Dan, of course, but he's practically part of the Dong Gang by now. Film at 11. Y'all come back now, ya hear?

oh man!
that was indeed a fun trip where juambimba and myself barely left the confounds of Mario's pizza. 3 days of pure lust with Italian food, wine and good folks but I shall spare you all the details out of respect for those stuck in bumM'kay egypt that do not have access to 4 formagio pizza, gniocci a la gorgonzolla and rosetta de la mama. The little hang out at the shamrock was fun and it was indeed a pleasure to enjoy the laoban's company as well as that of Con, bugalugs, da dan, loops and the non posting others.
in the immortal words of Arnold Swartzeneger, " We'll be back"
Salud!

I just landed back in Hainan..... `gotta say, I'm quite impressed with ALL the fine folks I've met off these boards! different folk from different places residing in other different places.... but none so different as to not get along well in this fine country we're calling home ;D I'm trying to keep a policy of not drinking two nights in a row so I kina only watched the wine, bers & Shots flow through the others that night but the food at Mario's..! not sure me belly could handle three days of it in a row... but once every month or so Sure is nice! May will be a great time in Suzzz I'm sure

It WAS nice of you. But you forgot to mention the Canneloni Mozzarella (or was that Parmagiana?) as well as the Siciliana, Capriciosa, and 4-Formagio pizzas. And the salads. And the Nutella pizzas for dessert. Da Dan is really onto something, though. We get awfully nice folks. I've been lucky enough to meet in person quite a number of the Saloonies past and present, and they've all been just lovely. There's only been one I can think of that I took a strong dislike to, and she's gone now anyway. Still, this group last weekend was special. No one is like unto Nolefan, and Juanbimba is just loads of fun once you get a few drinks down her. Bugalugs and I are almost disturbingly close in some personality traits, so I took an instant shine to her once she stopped talking about m'kaying cricket. And Da Dan and I share a keen and educated appreciation of all the same vices.
