psst **kambuckta** we gotta get more at Meldope than those Sydney Dopers get at their Chrissy gathering Do you think we should start rounding them up at gun point? or bribeing them with offers of beer? ---

Of _course_ we will outdo the Sydney Santadope **Leechy** , even if we have to resort to bribery and coercion. And **Hawthorne** , not good enough mate…hrmphhh. You’d better have a pretty decent excuse, and make sure you don’t forge yer mum’s sig on the absence note. 😃 ---

Definitely interested, but Saturdays don’t work so well for me… (just to be a real pain). ---

My First Simulpost!! Yes I love it. 🙂 How about we have a week long MelDope, like a progessive dinner we shift to a different location each day 😃 ---

I’m afraid someone else will need to keep a skewer handy for the leg of **Mr Cazzle** should he get onto the subject of keyboards 😉 as I cannot attend. ---

**Thylacine** sorry you can’t make it, however I shall happily carry the skewer in your absence. Can anyone think of Melbourne Dopers that havn’t responded? We can email them a heads up about this thread. ---

**leechbabe** thanks for the invite in the other thread 😃 Alas I may well be in Orbost or similar at the time. Which is … well… a bit far. But can I keep this thread on my Virtual Fridge Door just in case? ---

I got it this afternoon, Redboss. Thanks for it. My car managed to die last night (well actually, it’s only the door that’s almost falling off :eek: ) but I shouldn’t have any trouble making it. ---

That’s nothing **Henry** …just wait until the engine falls off while yer heading up the South Eastern Freeway at 110 k’s…now that’s what I call a dying car!! See you on Sunday then!
