And remembering the local advice given to teenage boys - get off the train at Civic instead of going into town. Looking at all the above places of leisure around the country, we really are a lucky lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 20, 2023 #7154 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Places always get a slang name or a local jargon, it is a way to sort out locals from visitors. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Brisbane built theirs pre-federation it would have been called Brisbane Town Hall, the same as for Hobart, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth & Melbourne. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mareblu Posted September 21, 2023 #7158 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Thanks, Les, for a great catch-up at Catalina Club, and for your treat of delicious fish and chips. Maybe this should be on "Meat Pies"; the fish was fresh and sweet, the batter light and crispy, and the salad was fresh and light with just the right amount of dressing. Also, a respectable amount of chips to accompany: not a bucket. It was wonderful to see you in such fine form and looking well, although we know you have challenges. Raymond's next time😋 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My upcoming trip will need to be cancelled, Sorry to hear the bad news. Hope you get mobile as soon as possible. When I was playing ( in my younger days) I was chasing after a player from the opposing team that had the ball when he suddenly went to ground in agony having completely torn his Achilles. He looked at me and with some rather bad language accused me of kicking him in the ankle, as it happens I was nowhere near him. He apologised and later we became good friends. Hopefully your achilles is not completely torn . As he said it was a very painful injury. Shame having to cancel your trip, does mean you will have to make up for it later, maybe a back to back.😊 Edited September 21, 2023 by JohnGc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My upcoming trip will need to be cancelled, I really feel for you as my mum had similar situation with her trip. She was suppose to be in Greece right now but a week before flying out a cyclist hit her breaking a bone in her foot. Doctors say it might be up to six months before it is back to normal. Sadly it is the second time she has had to cancel her Greece trip, the first because of the Covid pandemic☹️. It really sucks to have to cancel a long awaited trip. Hopefully you can retry for your trip when you recover. Good luck and heal well🫂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeCee A wheel chair would only do so much, am in a cast so washing easily (shower/bath) and swimming would be out, as well as the long walking and such we had planned. The majority of the trip was in the Caribbean, it can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
