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

    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • 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....
