We have handbags.
We know how to use them.
CN people are very welcome.
Although to give them a CN feel, we might nick their saved seat and tell them to sit on another table as this is the top table for regulars.
Or that's what happened to me last time I went to a CN.
Hmmmmmm

Aye. UpQuark came and sat with me and we read my copy of Scarlet magazine which he kindly brought back from the UK for me. Wanted to sit near him so that I could hear about his travels but no that was not allowed. Maybe it was meant to be funny? Who knows.
Haven't been to another one since.
The GBV/NNO formats suit me better.
DDBug
Aug 29 2006, 3:28 pm
Not really - there were seats at two tables. There were two tables. But people had gathered around a few cool people at each table so no adjacent seats were open. Not nearly as bad as being stuffed into the corner at a small table because no seats were left at all.
Edit - darn Katrina, you are a fast typer (I'm also trying this "work" thing right now

)
But - UpQuark was one of the "cool" ones with no adjacent seats.

That's incorrect DDBug.
He'd saved me a seat and Carm took it with both of you making the comments about the top table for regulars. End of story.
Let's get the facts straight, eh?
bluedave, story of my life.

And MT, how recent a copy do you want?
DDBug
Aug 29 2006, 3:38 pm
OFS I was not digging at your work ethic - I was distracted. geez.
And Carm didn't take it, I did if you put it that way since he was trying to save a couple of seats.
And I don't recall any "regulars" comments, since I am certainly not one.
Facts are fun.
I'll bring my handbag.

I'd just like to stress at this point that the following "rules" apply to GBV/NNO nights-out, AFAIK:
* there is no need to reserve or even announce your intention of coming - just come along if you fancy it

* you can sit wherever you like, and you can even save a seat for one (or more) of your mates if you like (as long as you don't mind someone else parking their arse on it before they get there - it tends to be an event where folk mingle)
* if you do happen to say you are coming and then don't actually show up, then nobody will hate you
* there will not be a table for "regulars" and a table for "newbies" - it will be a bunte mischung, probably split by levels of depravity more than anything else
hope I didn't forget anything...

for instance that when going for food beforehand - which I admit does not seem to be taking place tomorrow - you not only have to commit yourself as soon as possible but even put a number before your name to make it clear what order you signed up in

And I'd forgotten that!
But in these post Kate Moss days, all cameras / phones to be left at the door.
@ Jeeves, the 1 2 3 things is so. When we go out to eat, somone usually makes a reservation somewhere.
With experience, if you book a restaurant for 10 and then 30 turn up it can be pants. Or if you book a restaurant for 15 and 4 turn up likewise. We've had experience of both.
Which is why IF we go to a place for a fixed time with a reservation we collect fixed names. NOT to exclude anyone.
If we do have a food meet up first (ie NOT tomorrow) than we always publish details of where we'll be after the meal and those that didn't eat meet up there.

No bluedave, this is significantly bigger. And black saddle leather with tomato red suede lining. Lock & Load range.
Although the image of a black clad lady in spike heels slapping a man in a bar with patent leather isn't really a bad one.

does anybody know if you can take a doner kebab into Die Bank?
i'm in a meeting til 7pm, so won't have time to go home and eat first
