Over-30s drinks on Wednesday 02.Feb.2005

well, I guess we could maybe take up brokenm's suggestion and meet for a cheeky drink or three on 2nd Feb?
we could maybe make it early doors, so that peeps who wanted to sneak off to the curry would still be able to join us for an hour?
who else would be up for that?

@ triple choc

hmm, groundhog day (the 2nd). I might be able to do that, cheeky or no...

yeah I can make it the 2nd as well.

Can think of making to it.

Ahh... I will be in Stockholm that evening ! someone have a drink for me ...

How about 7pm in the Haidhausener Augustiner?

I haven't been in there for ages. It's just a suggestion, though, I'm not going to go all bossy about it

Any other ideas?

@topsy

Sounds great to me.

@Topsy
I will be there! That sounds great.

That little bastard better do the right thing. Or we will get the dog wonder to go medieval on his ass.

Sounds nice Topsy...barring any unforeseen moving emergencies...I should be able to make this. Wednesdays are okay for me/us. Never been to that place...that I know of. Sounds cool.

Good idea. See you there. Here's a link I found for anyone that doesn't know where it is. Haidhausen Augustiner

Count me in ! This is just around the corner from my house...I'll definitely be there !

hmm... midweek's not too good at the minute, but if I get fed up/am up to it, I'll definitely drop by, esp. as not everyone who'd like to come to the 30s+ dinner can make it.

As for location, so long as the Kneipe's not so smoky that it looks like something out of The Fog, that's fine with me.

Hope I can make it.

I booked a table for next Wednesday, then, for 7pm in the name of Topsy, in the Haidhausen Augustiner.
Should be a good night

I booked a table for 12 people, but told the guy it might be +/-.
Anyone else wants to join us will be more than welcome - would be good if you could post here if you are coming, so I can adjust the numbers if need be.

So far I've got:
me
Butterbean
Studentoflife
dineshkumara (maybe?)
brokenm
Blimeygirl (+Tom17?)
SUB
Smartini
Triple Choc (maybe?)

I'm also up for this...

I will probably be there.

Count me into!

this is all good, isn't it?

could one of the mods please add the venue and time to the thread title, please?

7pm at the Haidhausen Augustiner (Wörthstr. 34)

thanks

Carmen: into what?

Me me me. Back in Bavaria and feeling thirsty for the local brew already.

I have my spanish course until 9pm, but it's at Gasteig so maybe I'll pop along for a cheeky one afterwards

Me too after 9 though if my fight on time, I guess there might be one or two of you left by then.

Was there any reaction on their part? I can just imagine them thinking 'Wow these Brits have some funny names' hehe.

We are in...well I am in...and Tom said 'Cool'...so I take that as a yes from him as well

It is nice when it is so bloody cold out to just have a nice evening in the pub with a couple of cheeky drinks and good conversation. Thanks for organizing.

You going to polish them off too?

Topsy is normal.. canuck booked a table last week...under "james Bond"... the waiters were having a field day with us

Count me in please. The pub's nice and local for me.

Same here, count me in too.

Topsy, would love to see you again. I'm teaching till nine on Wed. but live close-by. If I'm not falling asleep would like to join any of you who are still there. Ok?

OK, sounds good

Wouldn't mind gatecrashing your party! Have to make the most of any event for over 30's! Count me in too please!

JB, you're keen! Another few months till you're 30 I think. Are you just coming along to see what the crazy far side is like?

Just occurred to me...if you misread the thread title...with your over-30 eyes...to:

'Over-30 drinks on Weds...'

A bit too much for me I think. But one or two will be nice.

Hi
(subject to back) I have something else on Weds but hope you have a fab time!

Sorry, I won't be able to make it after all. Maybe next time? Have fun and don't go too crazy now and ruin our over-30 reputation

I will make it. May be @7.30 pm.

Hmm the curry is now timed to start at 7:30. I'll have to check a map to see how far apart the two venues are...

I organised it in the Haidhausen Augustiner so that people could go to the curry afterwards if they wanted. It's just 3 mins walk to Ostbahnhof and then one stop up on the U-Bahn.

Topsy, is it too late to add my name to the list for tonight's cheeky drinkies sesh? This week is an 'out every night of the week' week for me. Well, gotta celebrate getting a new job

Oooo - congrats on the new job.
It would be great if you can make it, look forward to seeing you.

just realized I have something until 7:30 at least. I may have to pike...

What does "pike" mean?
"Show up a bit late" rather than "cancel", I hope

Okey dokey well as there's käsespätzle for lunch today I won't have room for a curry tonight anyway...

I won't get there until 7:30 or 8:00. See you then

looks like I won't manage tonight (does that count as "piking"? ), but I'm hoping to catch up at the 30s+ dinner, if that thread resurfaces at some point. Hope you can make it to that, after all, Topsy. Anyway, have a good time tonight everyone.

@Petal: hey, congrats! Is it The One you'd wanted all along? Hope so, though you won't be getting such Hollywood-like snowscapes down there.

TC - got offered 4 jobs and was given one hour to decide. I picked FLORENCE!!! Dead excited. Wanted Italy for about 4 years now!

Florence!!! wow, that sounds fab
Congrats! You'll have to tell us all about it tonight.

@ TC, shame you can't make it
I still didn't figure out what piking means, either...

will anyone get there early tonight?
I'm setting off now (from near the airport), so if everything is on time I guess I will be early... can't see it though

Possibly.
What name's it booked under, Topsy?

yep

sorry, Topsy. While I should leave it to jml, who clearly surpasses me as Supreme Piker Extraordinaire , I will explain in her absence: piking basically means saying you'll attend something,

and then not.

sorry.

its not nice to speak ill about the ill...and btw I didnt rsvp to this event, but between yous and me, yeah if I did I wouldve piked by now.
