2 weeks to go

Is anyone meeting at EDT or is everyone going straight to the restaurant?

People I've met - yes (but that's all I'm saying ;-)). Not sure about people I haven't. Agree with Annasfield that you do build up a picture of how you think people may look from what they write, though it's probably totally wrong!

Am from the W Mids and I have always called roundabouts 'islands', though no idea why

John Nettles. Yes, seriously.

Hoopers People gather from 7:30/8:00 onwards It's just an excuse to have a drink with other people from the area.

Financial uncertainty hits Japanese Banks. Financial Times 7 October 2008 Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan: In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches. Yesterday it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song, while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived. While Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black. Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Building Society where it is feared staff may get a raw deal.

Next drinks 7th Nov - have had The Montpelier (not sure of spelling) and Hoopers suggested. Any preferences?

Getting kicked out of a bar, what a trouble maker.... ;-) Is that a first for a forumite on LL?

Thanks Sean - not sure what happened to the other one. I'll be there 8.30.

22nd Oct is fine for us

Shall we go for The Mag?

R and I are up for it, see you in the EDT

Ok what's the decision for the 3rd October? I would suggest trying one of the new bars on LL so The Magnolia or Adventure bar (probably not enough space though I could ask them to reserve us an area).

Self-Service Check-In

What exactly do you want me to say??? It's organised, I just have to keep moving the thread up :)):)):))

Bump

Ok Nick (the manager) has confirmed that he will reserve us some tables from 8.30pm and will be providing a few samples from their menu for us. So see you all there!

Am trying to contact the manager to confirm our reserved area and the promise of some food, so will let you know

See you in Liquorish!

Unless you're out after dark

How about meeting in Liquorish (less far for me to walk ;-))

I agree but I think MP suggested EDT??

Me + 1 Sean + 1 Michael david c annaj Azul hibbs + 1 ?Brendan Perhaps a table for 12 MP? I don't think it will be that busy on a Weds anyway. Are we meeting EDT at 7.30?

R and I are in
