I think we sussed it when they played three Cat Stephens songs in a row through the music system

Four of us showed up in the end and it was fun to have a chat and enjoy a couple of beers at the end of another year, thanks for everyone who came along or tried to come along

Here's to more gear fests and beersies next year

I think we might get our act together a little earlier and schedule something for the start of December when time pressures aren't so tight.

But to be fair we had just had a Gearfest so we were doing pretty well on the social side

Yeah I had a big run at work with the dry weather so Time was Tight

Made me feel a little nostalgic, you did; first house I bought was a shithole in Parlane Street, just off Lincoln Road! I have to say, Addington was a little.... odd, in those days!!

Is the prison still there? And the army barracks?

I think the prison is a backpackers now, lincoln rd has become all fancy, after the quakes the govt made it way too hard to build in the CBD so the developers swooped on lincoln rd and built masses of giant office buildings, and then came the cafes bars etc... it's quite different now!

Addington was the main Irish-Catholic settlement.

Has quite an interesting history.
