LONG LUNCH AT LONG BENCH

On Friday, my colleagues and I had long lunch with Steve and Kim (and Damo and Nicole) from NXFM, a Newcastle radio station.

They do a competition every month where they bring you and 9 of your workmates out for a long FREE lunch at a fancy restaurant.

And guess who won the competition this month. Yours truly! =)

The lunch was at Longbench on Darby St and lasted from 12.30 till 4.30. Thank goodness for cool bosses.
We also got to celebrate Lisa's confirmation into her PhD and Ally's birthday with lots of drinks and cake. As I said , drinks on me =p. (and LongBench of course).

Happy birthday Ally!!! =)

Apart from almost getting rained on, we had a great time.

The menu was brilliant.

Entree was pumpkin soup with bread. I thought the soup was a little too sweet.

I had the main of prawns on a stack of corncakes, with avocado and salsa. It was really delicious and looked really healthy too (except for the huge portion size).

Dessert. My favourite was the lemon/orange tart (next to the chocolate cake) and the raspberry cheesecake ( pink and white cake).

Steve and Kim were really funny. I couldn't get used to hearing the voices on radio in real life.

Photobucket

Did you know that Steve is also Wayne from Wyndale? Gasp!

Love Kim's voice.

And the producer, Nicole + her sister.

Damo and Ryan engaging in an intellectual discussion about rectal bleeding and stool motions.

And Damo's distinctive laugh on air is exactly the same in real life.

The drinking side of the table!

And the supposed non-drinking side

Thumbs up to the staff of Longbench for excellent service. They kepts refilling our cups with 'bubbles'.

And made me a cocktail. (Which I posed with and promptly passed it on to Lisa)

And of couse for whipping up a vegan menu for Tash on very short notice!

All in all, it was an awesome experience.

Thanks NXFM and LongBench on Darby of course for the awesome food!

RANDOM

yes.....

I'm distracted...but i've been here since 8 am.
Bleuurrggghhh...
I'm allowed to blog.

What's on my mind now?

The conversation between the shooting star buddy and emmerie about pees and poos in church yesterday.
And Ruth's face when they asked here whether she did 'that'.

I'm giggling like an idiot to myself right now.

The things people in FOCUS say.

What would I do for entertainment with them?
