Wish I could join you guys. Thanks for the support. Dad did heaps for engineering.
27 years as head of Engineering at Canterbury - that's quite an achievement.
I have hopes that one of my offspring may end up as an engineering student at UoC one day. I see that there's a Hopkins Scholarship as well. I may have to drop your name when the time comes.
Why not plan a get together post presentation??Quote:
From NZO announcement Friday:
Christchurch Investor Briefing
Date: 30 October
Time: 6pm
Venue: The George
50 Park Terrace
Christchurch
Wellington have five votes in to choose the date of its next meeting. Auckland had seven people plus my good self turn up at its last meeting. Christchurch being in the outer extremities of known civilization might come up with at least four punters plus my old mate the SHREWD one. I think as the market crashes [according to Macdunk] you will find you might be able to hold your meeting in a phone booth in november. What you really need is to hold a weekend overnight Agatha Christy who done it weekend where the people can be themselves getting to know each other. We might all take part in a who killed the NZX.
Macdunk after a few whiskies might give a lecture on time lines. Not much fun in a bar trying to stay sober enough to drive home guys, get your thinking caps on. Macdunk
So does that mean you're coming down to ChCh in November MacDunk? It's a deal: we supply the whiskey - you supply the lecture.
If we're playing "Murder in the Dark" with MacDunk I reckon I could sell a few tickets. Not to the polite and courteous Canterbury posters of course, but certainly to some of our friends from the north.
We're a hardy breed down here, and it is in these times of market turmoil when the collective minds of the ChCh Mastermind group are of most value.
We look forward to you gracing us with your presence.
You too Strat. Dunc comes - you come.
SERPIE, I have to move my indoors up to ONE TREE POINT on the 14th of nov. Moving homesteads its not a pretty sight. Told Shrewdy all about it but he shows no sympathy. Standing in a bar for a couple of hours yapping about falling markets. Surely you can come up with better than that for the real people.
Go somewhere to book in, have guest speakers like STRAT, and yourself explaining your positions in the ASX competition to warm the crowd up, followed by PHAEDRUS and SNOOPY having bad language at two paces. Surely you lot can come up with a decent venue even although it is the south island on the wrong side of the bombay hills and stage a decent event worth traveling down for. Macdunk
on the 4th of this month Mackdunk said on the 2008 NZ market overview and general outlook thread, this...
This means mackdunk is going to come...Quote:
duncan macgregor-
SHREWDY, I am tied up until mid november after that i am a free agent.
Macdunk
You just let us know when the dates are ok MD?...
Late Nov... Early Dec...
Perferably around mid November would be best as Our mate Joe Kid is coming to Show week and it would be a good chance for the housing Buffs to finally meet...
Oh well.. if we only get 4+1 at the next NC then they will rock up like this... :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:....Quote:
