Hi ya Chick,

I have to say I am absolutely DELIGHTED to see The Dark Judges on there. You should all be sent to the Cursed Earth if its not chosen (JOKE).


Cannot be there Weds to discuss, boo hoo. If there's voting for the Christmas meal venue, the excellent Si Mangia gets my (long-distance) vote. Really enjoyed it when we all went there last year. Or pizza at the Gowlett is always a winner ;-)


Am DEF going to check out Andy McNab books after PGC's endorsement.


PS was lovely to catch up with you, Vicky and Sheila at the weekend xx

Greetings book clubbers,


A very big thanks to every one who came along last night for a great and full on meeting. Our next book is Gulliver?s Travels by Jonathon Swift.


A synopsis can be found here:

I have booked a table for 10 at Si Mangia and I would be grateful if you could confirm by next Friday please. I need to know if you are bringing partners etc. Last time we went there were 12 of us and Si Mangia were very accommodating. Date is for 12th December at 7.30 to 8.00.

I have ordered 5 copies for me, Chloe, Sarah, Jacinda & Jessie. They will be in Rye Books on Saturday.


Carina, nice pictures. I will take my camera to the meal.


Could you please let me have your nominations for our World Book Night book by next Friday. The sooner we apply the more likely we are to get our choice.


And finally a big welcome to Kat, I hope you enjoyed your first night.

Greetings book clubbers,


Well interesting news, we have our first book club baby, this from Alexia:


Hi Chick. It's a girl! Elspeth Rowena Weeple, born at 1.50am yesterday morning, weighing 6lb 14 oz. We're both well but it was all rather protracted so likely to be in Kings till the weekend. Alexia.


That was sent one day ago so Elspeth was born on 20th. Congrats to all three. I think we should buy a collective book token for Elspeth, even babies get read to.


So far only five confirmations for Si Mangia.


The weather for Saturdays planet gazing isn?t looking promising but I will make a decision tomorrow.


I am off to the library.


Chick

Hi,


So far the following have confirmed the Christmas meal: Chloe, me, Megan, Mike, Jessie, Sarah, Leah & John plus two new people which makes ten. If you have confirmed and not on this list let me know please. If any one else wants to come let me know asap so that I can expand the booking.


And if you want to come tomorrow to see Jupiter?s moons please do.


Thanks


Chick. PS still about 150 pages of AK left but hugely enjoying GT.

Alison, you are very welcome to come to the next meeting, it's our Christmas meal at Si Mangia, see the above thread for details. It's on the 12th December. I look forward to meeting you but please let me know if you are coming so I can book enough room.


Hoots



Chick

Greetings book clubbers,


One week to go for our meal. I have booked 15 places based on the numbers who said they were coming so if you can?t or want to pull out please let me know ASAP. One hundred pages left for AK and will finish next year. Big push on to finish Gulliver?s Travels which I am enjoying immensely and finding very funny.


Hope the weather is cold enough for you and look forward to London grinding to a standstill when we get one snow flake.


Cheers


Chick

Greetings book clubbers,


Thanks to everyone who came to our meal last week, The Gowlett was a bit of a blur at the end, a great night though. Our next book is ?The Life of Pi? by Yan Martel.

Our next meeting is on the 16th January and will be held in The Draught House in Lordship Lane. I will confirm this next year.

Have a good crimbo & New Year.


Hoots


Chick

Hi Naomi,


Just read the book or as much as you can and turn up on the 16th January at the Draught House in Lordship Lane.


We are small, informal and very friendly so don?t be shy or worry about meeting a bunch of strangers, we wont be strangers for long.


Look forward to meeting you.


Cheers



Chick

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
