Check out their website. Yes, it is Tribblet friendly.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

No no I think that it is a bad thing.Will have to check but I doubt it.... :(

As long as she brings along enough for us all....
Well she has to give me 2 cases, so it is unlikely that she can afford more, she already started auctioning her kidneys and it looks like she will be putting the tribblets on auction later today.....

Naah Tribblets I am keeping. I will be standing on the corner of 3rd and Main - trying to make up the rest of the money needed.

quick question... is a booking being made or is this going to be like a kzn meet where 30 people rock up at disparate moments wanting to sit at "that" table while the floor manager makes disparaging comments about their husbandry and the waitron huddles in a corner, crying despondently into a used chip basket...?

because this is the standard we've set, we're expecting something pretty damn special....

Oooh that does sound better. Now I will need confirmation that you will be there. Not lugging 2 cases around for nothing. If you are not there - I will drink them myself and the deal is off :twisted:

They said 12 or 12:30. And puppy - we are just rocking up and hoping for the best ;-) Naah as soon as we have numbers - either Doo or I can call them and book a table. There are lots of thirsty people in Jhb on a Saturday - we cannot risk it.

If anyone is bringing a partner along please holler - Anakha said there'd be 5 people in that car? Please supply the nom de guerre for each so that we might have a reasonably accurate tally.
On Thursday I'll let Steve know to lock up his daughters and unlock the brewery aka make reservations. (Thanks for the reminder poodle)

No rest stops for me, I will be passed out in the car. Trying to get presentable for this meet.

So time should we set for a afternoon into evening thing? Start at 14:00 - 14:30?
