Mosart: I am @ Chicago (ord) for 10 hours do you want to meet?

JW my apologies. I have been off the site most of the day waiting for the cricket to be done. Unfortunately at this time of day O Hare is a 90 minute trip from where I live. So please give me a heads up next time you are coming through.  

Good egg as Bertie Wooster would say....are you heading for foreign climes?  

Yep let's try to do that. By an odd coincidence my daughter and her family lived in Columbus for four years up till two years ago. I visited quite a bit...I guess the place must have been hopping after the Ohio State win!
Safe travels!

 Moz be sure to bring a spare jacket for ou JW who one senses is a rough diamond. Go down marker a bit if eating out! Avoid the cultural, intellectual type outings etc.Friendly advice from Beeno!

 Beeno: perhaps you could lend me one of your jackets, if you have any that are not "straight jackets" of course

 Okay being a kiwi you want a crooked jacket. No can do JW. Perhaps Poly can help with the crooked jakcket?
Moz I think ou JW would feel he has dined well on a McDonalds - double portion of slapchips!

Moz should have driven from Columbus to Chicago airport to visit JW...such a good Kiwi...you know you get some Moz... especially when they don't take you on at rugby...isn't that true Cloudy.

Anyway...one of these days...I want to visit Poland...fly from Moscow to Warsaw and then drive from Warsaw to Krakow...about 300klms (4hrs) and fish in San River in south east near Ukrainian border ...good trout and grayling fishing in San River...when we find the extra bucks but the way the rands going it's a pipe dream...these mamparas in my country are making a huge mess. Poland...always wanted to visit...so does my missus...we might impose on you yet Dr Win!
A comment by a fly fishing guide commented:

I am lucky to live and fish here in Poland, in one of the last wild places in Europe, in the beautiful mountains of Bieszczady, by the awesome river San. With a group of friends who share the passion of flyfishing, we would be honoured if you join us for this ultimate experience in flyfishing for river trout and grayling. Working for years with hunters coming from all over Europe I realized that there is much more to do than hunt in my country. Fishing was the natural consequence. I started with pike fishing on my lake, then carp on another and finally it had to end with flyfishing. Choosing place and guides was not difficult – I chose the best that exist in Poland! The San was discovered by the fly fishing world in 1985 when the first Flyfishing World Championship was organised – it was a different country in those days. The fishing here was rediscovered in 2005 during the European Championship – now, with Poland being in the European Union, with good infrastructure, and our wonderful fishing – it had to be a success. In 2010 World Flyfishing Championship was held on the San. Foreign anglers have seldom visited the San until now – but the Poles have always known of this special, secret place. They practiced and got to the top in most flyfishing competitions. It is among those winners I have chosen fishing guides and flytiers. They know their job very well. This job is fishing. Fishing at the highest level. Fishing in Paradise. Fishing at the Frontier. They are at your service and will guide you through all levels - from the very basic tuition to master-level skills of European and World Champions. They will also tie you perfect flies and teach how to tie them if you wish. You don’t have to worry about accommodation, food, transportation - anything. You are here to fish. I will be pleased to host you and take care of everything.

 I'll have a beer with anyone on this site. I'm in Cape Town, so if it's outside business hours and weekends, I'll most probably would be able to make it. Please just note that I don't wear jackets blazers or ties. For such a meeting, I might however consider putting on some shoes. And, I won't mind if anyone reveal my weight and length to all. Although I have enough hair, the cut might not be to everyone's liking. Please prepare for that as I would hate to upset any poster here with details of my appearance!

Draad you are not a bad guy...a true comrade...Moz is a guy with hospitality...the old school who welcomes stragglers from all over the world and Ol' Maaik also is old school mentality who would even love to host Mozart, his constant adversary, for a few days up Natals North Coast where they can discuss rugby issues over a currie and rice...there's a rather rough beer drinking joint in Salt Rock...cannot remember it's name there opposite the Salt Rock Hotel that we went to for Curry Lunches...the best curry you can eat any where in the world...their curried prawns and chicken will knock spots off any 5 star joint at a fraction of the price...my wife loves curry...I do too...there's nothing better over a chilled bottle of white wine or an ice cold frothing draft...who cares what the furniture looks like.

 Thanks for the support Seb but I imagine Mozart has his own life and commitments,  It was my fault for not giving Moz enough notice, my return flight to Warsaw was changed at the last minute & that is the reason. 
Seb, if you have plans to come to Warsaw let me know & we can get together. The fishing you describe sounds great. My son married a Russian lady as I have mentioned in the past. We had a fantastic trip to Ufa last year (and a great day in St Petersburg also).
DB, same here mate, I would gladly get together with any of the posters on this site

Hell JW you are a walking United Nations!  

Well Moz...as long as he can do a better job than guys like Henry Kiesinger did in the past...imagine hosting Rooinek, Beeno and Saffex together...you'd need more skills than any diplomat...lolz.

Anyway JW, thanks...it will be great...at the moment, as I said...a pipe dream...I also want to go to NZ as well...also has some of the best trout fishing apart from rugby and would to see Tasmania, Siberia and Mongolia.

Sigh!

 Seb: trout fishing in Lake Taupo, NZ is incredible. I am no expert so we hired a guide & had good success with some huge trout caught & grilled with garlic & butter on an open file.
