Things that give you the sh1ts

Glad I've never felt the need to married.
Last one I went to was a ripper though.
I can still picture SAFootys own Mic getting dragged into the bride's room upside down with only his jocks on screaming that he wanted to party/drink with us instead.
I can't remember if there was kids there or not, I was too drunk to notice!

[Lightning McQueen]

We allowed everyone to bring kids to ours as long as we knew they were coming. (to organise food, etc)

We had heaps of lawn games and stuff, dvd set up in one of the B&B rooms incase they wanted to crash out watching Disney movies. Some of the photo booth pics are hilarious.

Made our wedding a more "family" event I think.

Not one problem.

For sure mate, I don't agree with the notion of not inviting guests kids, you take people as they are and their family is part of them.

It pisses me off even greater when they specify "no children" but you get there and there are kids there, just that some pull rank.

Agree with benny here. Try and get a sitter so you can have a nice night.

I'm a single parent of a 13 year old and a 10 year old, I mix in small circles and don't have the option of sitters, anyone that I would bother to ask are usually busy doing their own thing.
My kids are a part of who I am, I don't bail on them.

Just leave them at the Reepham mate, they'll be right

Turn it up. You are not bailing on your kids by having a night out without them

Mate a night out for yourself is ok. Im not saying bailing on the FFS.

If you get well over 6 months notice, organising friends/relatives/baby sitter to look after kids shouldn't be an issue.
Let's remember, it's the people getting married's special day - if they don't want kids, that's their call. Don't like it, don't go.
Personally, I'm always very grateful to be invited to a wedding.

Could be worse, could be a Vegan wedding with no food alternatives. No way am I going to that!

Or a wedding reception with no grog.
A mate went to one not long ago.

Geezus!
**** going to that!

Yeah, I catch your drift, I do feel like I'd be bailing on them to go to a wedding if they couldn't come (moreso if it was family).

I guess after having about 5 free weekend nights in nearly 4 years I've become more inclined to prefer to have mellow weekends with my kids.

Lucky if the front bar is still open at 8pm on a Saturday mate, they can't sit in the pokies.

Yeah mate, be even worse now that myself and a few others are drinking at the Albion as we were quite often the only reason it stayed open as long as it did.

Why the change?

$5 beers all the time, some times as cheap as $3.50 in happy hours.
Fox footy, gourmet finger food and plenty of it, better meals, small bands playing Friday nights, etc.
I do prefer the clientele at the Reepham though.

Yep, that's where the Reep's struggles. they put minimal effort into the front bar where it could be very profitable given it's location.

2 Cans of Beer in my checked luggage last night emptying their contents throughout my clothing, toiletries and work documents...

The longer story - grabbed a 6 pack of tins Wednesday night went back to my hotel room to watch the origin game. Drank 4, had 2 left over. Should have wrapped them in newspaper or something. Didn't. Now I don't think the leakage had anything to do with cabin pressure. May be a baggage handling thing. Anyway the travel bag is now outside to dry. The work documents, some of which are shared with my colleagues are on the nose.

Pressure difference.......

Once was shitting myself for the duration of a domestic flight with 2 litres of Duty Free in my checked on bag. Had no other option to put it anywhere else. Made it home safely. Without a family history repeating itself....during WWII my grandfather on leave had bottles of scotch break in his brand new Army duffle bag so new it was still water tight. Wring out the clothes and filter the liquid in the bag only lost half a bottle from the original 2 [emoji38]

You think cabin pressure? Ok. I've transported beer cans before in my checked on luggage no problem, but always wrapped up in newspaper or something. Even a shirt etc. A few years back I transported (imported) a 6 pack of San Mig's from Bangkok to Adelaide. So they survived a 9 -10 hour flight from Thailand, plane change in Sydney then onto Adelaide. Unscathed. Lucky perhaps....dunno?

[Wedgie]

Cans can handle the pressure difference no probs, it's much more likely it copped a pounding from the baggage handlers.
