You know I clean forgot that ANZAC day was coming up...I could be up for something though I'm having a beer with my landlady at some point that evening too.
Sigh. So many units of drink, so few days to have them in.
Won't we be requiring poppies of some kind?

Umm, it did occur to me after I wrote my reply that perhaps you weren't meaning going out for ANZAC day but more of a dawn service thingo. See this is my problem, always thinking in terms of going out...
What exactly did you envisage doing??

Belushi's at Rosa Luxemburg Platz should be a goer, it's run by an Aussie and they had tons of people for Australia Day there.

Yeah dawn ceremony would be kinda the more appropriate thing, but was definatley thinking evening drinks tribute. We're new to the city (2 days!) so any ideas would be choice. Belushi's sounds good. Heard there were a few Kiwi bars too. Maybe an Aussie/ Kiwi pub crawl!?!?

NoJo, you live in the same suburb as I! I was going to go to Cafe M on Goltzstrasse in
Schöneberg to have a beer with my landlady. Got to work quite late today (like, er, now) so I will have to leave quite late too.
There is a Kiwi bar in
Steglitz. I haven't been there yet but from their website (http://www.kiwi-pub.de/) I can see that they have MONTEITHS!! Oh how divine.
poppies...hmm, mebbe I should do some colour printing here at work.
I vote for the place in Steglitz purely on the basis of Montheith's. But maybe we should go somewhere more well-trodden? I have been here a few months myself so I'm not the best one to ask.

Yeah looks good! Lets do Kiwi Bar then.
Only 3 of us, and you if your keen Mary, so thats already quite the ANZAC day tribute! Haha
We'll be there from like 8. Two Kiwis and a token Texan!
Hope you can make it. If not, would be funny to meet up another time.
See ya...

Okay smokey, I'll definitely make an effort to come, but it'll be probably around 9-10ish - is that OK??
I'll send ye my handy no.. If tonight doesn't work out then 'twould be fun to meet up some other time! I'm trying to organize going out tomorrow night with workmates and you're most welcome to join us - if you don't mind the company of astrophysicists. We're the non-geeky ones here, honest! Well, as ungeeky as astronomers can be...
