Tickets are 250RMB and includes free flow beer and all that jazz. Have a look below and let me know if ur in by Monday so we can start organizing tickets (family and friends all invited!). BRING IT!

    Fall Sports Boat Cruise (Friday Nov. 25th 6pm to 12am…ish)- I’m on a BOAT!!!

    Alrighty Bashers!!!

    The crew from PubCrawlShanghai are throwing a massive Sports Bash on the Huangpu River with free flow beer, cocktails and live band/DJ… Should be a cracker as the who’s who of Shanghai sports will be present! The night starts off with a pre-party at our very own sponsor “THE CAMEL” and moves onto the Huangpu (I’m on a boat) for some shenanigans before ending at a VIP party somewhere on the Bund (I think ZEAL).

    Tickets are 250 Rambos and include all of the above with transport (except the cocktails which are 35rmb). Family and friends are invited. Guys this is a great way to rep the Bashers and the Shanghai Cricket League- they want us over so bad they’ve even reserved a table for us already on the boat! Have a look below and let me know by the end of the week if ur in or not and I can help sort out the tickets… It should be great preparation for the SCC AGM the next day! DO IT!!!! (more…)

    BASHERS “BLAZERING” (the new “PLANKING”)

    With all the talk this weekend of “PLANKING“, “OWLING”, “TEBOWING” and “HORSEMANING” (If u have no idea wat these terms mean look it up!) it’s about time we get some Bashers “BLAZERING” in…

    Wat’s that you ask? “Blazering”- Acquire Basher’s Blazer… Wear Blazer… Find appropriate (or inappropriate!!) location and strike a pose (funny face, Captain Morgan stance, thumbs up, beer in hand watevaa!!!) and click away… The more exotic the location and pose the better!

    Take a pic in ur Blazer at the local Kedi Store, on the Metro, in the Bar, in Cranky’s office, heck even in the Loo!!! Just dont forget to post it on the blog! But here lies a challenge to the Bashers- I know many of us travel all over the place so it would be great to see how far and wide the Basher Blazer can travel (I’m takin it to Japan next weekend!)… Wat wud be even cooler is finding some random person (preferably a hot babe!!!) to don the Legendary Basher Blazer and gettin a pic of it (Pat the Dog lead the way earlier this yr!!!)

    SO ??? Challenge accepted!!! (Yes it’s been a slow day at work!) Let’s see how far we can go with this… U may never know- it mite become the new internet FAD…

    Examples to follow (look up Xiamen Blog!).. Get Amongst it!!!

    Now that’s what I call a McDonald’s!!! If you are heading to the Olympics- stop by!

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43828768/ns/business-consumer_news/t/now-super-sizing–seat-mcdonalds/?gt1=43001

    Now this is super-sizing! A 1,500-seat McDonald’s

    Burger chain hopes to serve more than 1.75 million people in 29 days

    LONDON — Talk about super-sizing!

    For the 2012 London Olympics, fast-food giant McDonald’s will be building its biggest restaurant ever.

    The 32,000 square-foot, two-story facility will have seating for 1,500 hungry spectators – and athletes.

    It’s one of four temporary McDonald’s to be constructed for the Olympics, including one in the athletes’ village.

    The biggest challenge for McDonald’s? Logistics.

    “A lot of work goes into making sure we have enough ingredients on hand. But we have done a great job in the past managing these massive event,” said Melissa Daly, a communications supervisor for McDonald’s.

    “Training the crew is another challenge, but we will have the best of the best workers coming to work in London,” Daly added.

    The fast-food giant will also select 2,000 of its top employees – its largest Olympic team ever assembled – to serve at the Games. About 1,800 will come from Great Britain, the other 200 from restaurants from other nations. The “brand ambassadors” will have the chance to meet the world’s top athletes and attend events.

    McDonald’s, which has been an Olympics sponsor since 1976, hopes to serve more than 1.75 million people during the 29 days of the Olympics and Paralympics.

    Bashers Business vs Devils 25th July Lumberjack Report

    Greeted once again with a fine sunny day (well almost) the Bashers set out to THE CAMEL to beat those “Darn” Devils at the SRFC and extend the winning streak to 4 (has this happened before?)! For once all team members managed to assemble at the Camel on time (even a sober Sinbad!) barring Dipso (who set his clock 10 minutes back) and debutant Nigel “Campo” Shroff (we’ll cut you some slack this time). The only question was whether it would be another adventure getting to the ground… (more…)
