All right, here goes it - the 14th Feb 2004?

Rather than skirt around it, surely there's got to be a few of us who are

1) new here,
2) left a less than significant other behind,
3) currently without other of even temporary signficance,
4) in protest of Valentine's day (Sparty), or
5) any/all/none of the above

interested in meeting up for drinks, food even, tomorrow evening? A perfectly acceptable Saturday night shouldn't go to waste...

Superb idea, I'm in.

Hope you all have a great time!
After romantically taking the old paper to the dump and romantically going to Obi, then romantically watching Manchester Utd play Manchester City then catching the full-on romance that is the FC Bayern München game, we might have a romantic dinner cooked in a romantic way by my romantic self.
Alternatively I might stay in bed and eat chocolate.
Herr Indoors is another non-believer in Valentine's Day

Good idea,
might join for a beer aswell!

Hey, i saw this and thought that could be funny and a pretty interesting idea for Valentine's Day.
I am not there this we but just wanted to let you know about this

This is a real blind date See the link!
For those who are not that fluent in German:
This will be a special event for singles. It is dinner in a completely dark room (full of singles of course!), where u can't see anything. blind waiters will serve the food and u don't know and can't see the person sitting next to you. if anyone will go, let us know how it is.
At least this will not be about looks...

btw nobody ever will be left behind!

"here", arm raised.

That really does sound interesting...

blind waiters? That's gonna be messy...
I jus spent about 5 minutes playing with the moving eyes on the website..Couldn't catch me..

Yeah Bekky and I are in too, for the drinks that is.

Yep, I'm in as well (it's clear according to which of butterbean's statements )

Oh giraffe! I get it! Sticking your neck out! Very clever!

okey dokey, I'd like to come too, please. first one who gets really drunk and starts crying in the corner loses.

Uh oh, now that I've put it out there, do I need to come up with a time and location? Argghhh.

I, for one, am soooo not into 'singles events', but it is kind of you to post an idea for us, bubblylady. While it will clearly be difficult to top Katrina's hot plans, I was thinking more along the lines of the usual drinks somewhere I haven't been yet (ruling out 3 places, 4 tops) in total disregard of it being anything other than a Saturday night out with friends.

Any suggestions for locale?

No crying Brummie.

wait a minute, did I just see that Beans is coming???!!!??

no doubt, butterbean.

Cool! Looking forward to meeting you finally!

My suggestion:
Lets go to Los Bandidos!
It's a small walk from Poccistraße, but has the best cocktails ever and serve some decent food with that!

San.

BARF! I am totally against going anywhere near Pocistrasse. You lazy bum, get off yur arse and come up to our neighborhood! oops wrong thread, thought this was about the plans for tonight...Nevermind

http://www.munichx.com/essen/bandidos.php3

It's even on the same street as home!

Well, you can of course cancel your date tomorrow and have some decent drinks with us Mr. Spaghetti.

Sparty, you are talking about one of the longest streets in Munich... I really don't think you want to walk...

@San
I walked home from the Garden the other day (also drunk), which is in fact a little further away...

So any comments on the venue??

am definitely up for saturday night somewhere fun! no anti-valentines chocolate binge or benn and jerrys for me!

Bandido's as in Thalkirchen? Did I see that right? Isn't that a little way down there?

I'm not much good on the munichx site without German, but I can look at the pictures! What about places like Pomp, Zest, or (can I even type this) Nippler? Or are they too cheesy or expensive?

Count me in too!

Don't forget to send a card!

okay, still looking for venue suggestions... bandido's? others? what is this Master's Home place that received more than one vote on the top 25 ranking? or should we just accompany pootle and keydeck to rugby during the day and see if we can set the record for longest sit in at GM's...

and why is there no emoticon of a drunk...

Oh dear...I'm not even going to try to beat that...

I can't...I don't feel like having a hangover, I feel like I'm still drunk...

How do I join ze anti valentines Party?

Where is ze meeting?

Tom.

bf decided to do a boyz weekend coupled with soccer. so i am shrugging off a hang-over, hanging up old postcards and also taking out the recyclables. was gonna' go see a flick alone, but if there are other lonely-hearts out there, would be willing too and able.

alright guys (girls), time to make a decision! Where are we goin? I really won't give a shite. My suggestion was Los Bandidos, but if we are going there we have to make a reservation NOW, else forget about it, cause the place will be packed!

Yes, I vote for Los Bandidos.

all right - sorry guys. today's errands took about 3 times as long as I thought they would.

Can we still get a table at Los Bandido's do you think? I'm game, if you both like it that much! Love and miss Mexican. It looks like maybe 8 all together is it, give or take? I assume I should take the U3 there?

crap. just tried to call and there was recording - all in German naturally, but I don't speak German yet! Help! can someone call?

I just called, and made a reservation for 8 persons at 7.30pm
reservation name "Jansen"

Phew. Thanks San!

no worry

for the ones that don't know how to get there:
let's meet 7.15pm at the south-west exit of poccistrasse (in front of the kreisverwaltungsreferat)

pm or post if your there

i dunno if i can make it that early, i might try and drop by later and see y'all. still suffering from last night i think. although worst of the damage was offset by a timely kebab.

come on brummie, hair of the dog...

No way Brummie, worst was a certain picture that is on San's camera... :evil:

Think all of the pictures were evil...

damn it sounds like I missed a good evening

Im feeling relatvely crook but promised bekky id make it... may be there a bit late... hazy directions given... bekky and i will try to make it.

you had better presh!

Did anyone notice that in the Russian club, two guys were clearly annoyed with us and looked out of their eyes as if they were ready to start a fight with us. And with "us", I am talking about DrivinWest, San and me. Well, isn't it a little weird to threaten three guys that don't particularly have the average size of the Germans?

Did you end up in the Russian club then? The one in Kultfabrik? We went there the other week - great fun!

Yes, we were there, I think it's called Kalinka or something like that, with the two torches in front of it, and some really cheap looking helles but you pay a fortune!

yep a fun place

I liked the mix of business men, lesbians, tarted up russian girls, pretty boys, old men, us and random others.
And the music is always changing and fun.
