    Default Wongo in Melbourne

    Hi there

    I will be in Melbourne on Wednesday and Thursday. I am busy during the day but free on Wednesday night. Are there any hardware stores (Bunnings??) in the city that I can go to after office hours? (I know it is sad.) I would prefer to go somewhere within walking distance as I do not know much about Melbourne.

    OR

    You can take me out for a nice meal.

    Cheers

    If you're only staying one night, you'll probably only need a bikinus.

    their site doesn't tell you the opening hours though or their telephone number which isn't very helpful of them is it!
    no-one said on their death bed I wish I spent more time in the office!

    Now you are making me nervous. I look forward to meeting you good people.


    I took a change of clothes in a hurry this morning but forgot to take a pair of shoes. :mad: Now I have to stick with suit the whole time. Let’s hope the weather stays dry hay. Should I take my umbrella? Just to be safe.

    Wongo,

    Don't worry about your attire apart from getting cobwebs and sawdust and fine plane shavings on them.

    I hope you packed your foil hat.
