Over 30's night

I don't mind organising it if it's on 18th or 26th. I'll probably be watching the rugby on 19th, though.

Food - shall we go Italian, then? Anybody not like Italian food?

Yep, my votes with Italian, and alternative, anything BUT Indian.

sounds good to me!! And I still owe you a beer!

You do?
You should have kept quiet about it, I'd totally forgotten

I love italian! *Pizza, gimme pizza*

Think that's me he owes it to Topsy ! Or is it ? Remember someone mentioning they owe me a beer for something, but I had forgot. So now I must try to remember !

I really like Italian food (good job really as moving to live in Italy )

Either the 18th or 19th is good for me.

congratulations Petal.

oh back on topic...id like to come to one of these...dont know what date would work yet but italian is great by me.

It was Topsy, but if you wanta drink too...hmmm...remind self to bring more money.

Looks like I can make this one if it's going to be held the weekend of 18th/19th... yippee

I'd like to come too! 18th suits best and Italian is good! Count me in whoever decides to reserve - Topsy?

If you're going on 18th, Topsy, can I come along later after my belly-dancing class? Around 10 pm? Maybe I could still get a pizza?

Well, it's looking good for the 18th March, isn't it?
Complete with bellydancing demonstration from Nicky at around 10pm, if I understood correctly

The Vecchia Masseria is a good Italian place, shall I just book a table there?

Who is in, anyway?

@Topsy- will try and make it... looking good atm.
@Nicky- r u serious about the belly dancin' ?? I think we'll be getting you drunk then...

We've already seen Nicky belly dancing at the first over 35s dinner Mighty good she was too.

Topsy. That's a great restaurant. And as we both know, the wine is great there Count me in as a definite.

Don't know if my liver can stand going back there with Petal *and* Topsy! Might actually make this one though (but keep reminding me - have brain like sieve for dates/times).

Not a huge Italian fan, but should be a good night out. I can always just drink wine! Where is the restaurant?

It's near Sendlinger Tor.
Maybe I should start another thread about it, cos this one starts off a bit too general...

We need to think of ideas about where to go for a drinkie-pinkie afterwards. Any ideas, before I start a new thread?

Here's the Toytown article on Vecchia Masseria

Padres is a cocktail bar on Blumenstr just to the east of SendlingerTor (happy hour til 9),

Padres is a cocktail bar on Blumenstr just to the east of SendlingerTor (happy hour til 9),

never been to padres - do you think we'd need to book a table there?

@Topsy,
Count me in. missed couple of 30+s.

oh, that Italian, where the waiters engage in plenty of gallant hand-kissing, even when worked off their feet...
Yep, the 18th looks good, so I'm in too. Thanks for organizing this, Topsy, and how thoughtful of you to have booked a charming belly dancer for the benefit of the gentlemen 30(+)somethings.

Padres doesn't really have tables, they have a long bar area and 2 small tables, I have never had a problem there, but I am usually one of the first customers at 7, so I can get in 2 hours of happy hour cocktails.

other options- Föhn, Fraunhoffer (sp?), Cafe Forum (no happy hour), Bondi Bar, kilians,

Thanks for organising Topsy and hope to see you all around 10-ish - but I shall leave my dingle-dangles firmly locked in my car. Sorry to disappoint you ...

Was in Padres for the first time last Friday. As Carm says it's just a long bar really and very narrow at that - not really ideal for a large group of people! What about Die Bank in the Müllerstrasse. Was also there last week - quite groovy and music is ok. Even have a chill out lounge upstairs!!

@Topsy

I'm still on for the 18th and wherever you pick is fine.

Italian on 18th sounds good to me!
