30+ evening at Blue Nile restaurant

We appear to have missed August (by popular demand of restaurant owners everywhere?), but it seems like high time for another evening of high brow conversation, good manners, throwing of semmels, and drinking booze out of the belly dancer's navel, no?

My suggestion would be Blue Nile in Siegestr. preferably on a Thursday in September (since I always miss out on ones at the weekend by being such a social animal ), but of course other ideas are welcome.

Cool, I'm glad the weather will get better again! There is hope after all.

the Blue Nile on Belgrad is much bigger, so maybe a better option.
I am avail on Thursday nights too.

sounds good to me - count me in

Yay, would love to come on a Thurs!

tinap

I'd be interested too, but only before wies'n time!

I´m interested, but as Allershausen said, before the Wiesn.

Thursdays are good. Never been to either Blue Nile so all the more reason to do so soon. Good move.

Wiesn? I have no idea when it is on (I don't drink beer) so if we set a date that misses it, it will be purely by luck or because someone who knows suggests a date acceptable to all

I am interested in coming too. Thursdays are great for me. Couldn't give a toss if it collides with the Wiesn

Me neither

The Fest starts the 16th.

How about 14th then, to keep everyone happy?

great! put me on your list.

Sounds good to me. Count me in.

Can I be a 'maybe' or a possible latecomer, as I might have a class? Blue Nile sounds good. I've never been there and I'd like to try it.

could very well be up for this
Blue Nile sounds good
have been to the one on belgradstr., but never the Siegestr one

couldn't care less about the Wies'n either

@ Nicky, there's a review from you on the link OhFFS posted saying the food was gross and made you feel sick

Anybody can write any name beneath those reviews, it doesn't have to be your sign-up name.
Perhaps it was somebody who is really called Nicky

true enough, Jeeves
the voice of reason, as ever

I'm interested - I love the term "over-30's" - makes me feel so young. Can't say definitely at this stage though. In any case, I'm totally indifferent to the annual pseudo-Bavarian fancy-dress drunken orgy going on over at Theresienwiese.
I seem to remember that the Blue Nile in Siegesstr. is rather small though. Would they be able to fit us in comfortably if it's a large group?

EDIT: Just saw that Carm also mentioned that the other "Blue Nile" on Belgradstr. is bigger.

I confess, the only reason I suggested the other one is that that is the one I know BN seems a popular idea so I guess we'll go with that.

I think we should set a cutoff date for "registrations" due it being so close to OF so more people than normal will be in town trying to get into restaurants. I'll phone up an book on Monday morning and will let you know the result.

Current "standings":
Me
Carm
Allershausen
UA(??)
FranB(?)
Tinap(?)
Jeeves(?)
Nicky(??)
Topsy(?)
ruapehu(?)
GreenTea(?)

Any +1s in all of that?

?s and anyone else who fancies it please give a definite yay if you are happy with the date and place (when do you expect to know by, Nicky? I'm sure if there are enough of us squeezing in one more won't be too much of a problem).

I guess earlyish evening - 7?

The one on Belgradstr is just up from Hollenzollerenpl heading city outwards.

I am fine with the date, but 7pm is kind of hard for me on Thursdays. But I will be there.

Oh - me! me! me! I live just down the road - and Mr Bug should be home in time for me to *gasp* be on time!!!

fine by me
put me down as a "deffo"

Too much information!

*shaking head* I should have known...

I'll confirm on Monday. Am waiting for a phone-call.

yes, me definitely. (+1 is a possible)

a definite yay

chalk full of persons I have wanted to meet for a while, and others I always enjoy seeing. Sign me up +1. Though there is always the small chance I will get emergently scheduled at work...but I have no control over that.

Looking forward to it.

From the first post and the original title before the change, I thought you were talking about the weather (30+, crappy August/summer is over etc). Pls don't reserve for me

Oh good grief! Some people don't even read the post they are replying to

But it does explain why I couldn't understand UA's first post.
I thought it was me being slow again. Phew.

Please add me to the list.

I did. It confused me.

What are the rules for <30 +1's?

One wonders how anyone can be less than under thirty

Doh! Jeeves = smart++

Aw you've gone and edited it. And there was me thinking you'd invented a whole new class of imaginary numbers.

No idea. I suppose if they are accompanied by an adult it would be okay

Hey Exile, that only makes him smart because you used the postfix operator.

Sorry. I'll get my ISO/IEC 14882:2003.

will there be somebody checking IDs at the door...you know ...to make sure that everybody is 30+?

OhFFS will count if 30+ people are coming, if fewer people attend it will be cancelled.

EDIT: *SCNR*

Munich Neil- oh, you bet, you should see the TTdoor man for over 30's nights.

Well, we'll just know.

If you come across as a grumpy cynical git you're either a) Bavarian, or b) over 30. And we'll tell by the accent whether you're Bavarian or not.

(I don't think it is a hard and fast rule, it was just a way of making these events a bit different and not, necessarily, just another typical "get as many beers down your neck as fast as possible and then puke all over the place because we're all teenage wasters" TTM evening. That's my take on it anyhow.)

phew! Cause if I go there and have to talk to some 29 year old...well I wont be happy about that at all!!

Of course 29 year olds should go to the >20 but <30 evenings...those crazy under 30s I tell ya...mad the lot of them

OhFFS - uhm, when are we supposed to stop gettting wasted?

oh, oh, you haven't met most of the over 30's yet than have you?

yip - but its Friday and I just feel like talkin rubbish I am feeling a little negativity towards teenagers however...I am not a teenager however having said that...a waster yes...but not a teenager

OK, I'm going to be bold and brave and commit myself, so please count me in. Did I misinterpret the over-30 rule? I thought it referred to the number of wrinkles you have? Or was it the number of chins?

Note for those taking public transport (assuming we're going to the place in Belgradstr):
The buses and trams that pass by that way are a bit disrupted at the moment due to road works at Kurfuerstenplatz. Trams 12 and 27 are replaced by buses 112 and 127 which follow the same routes I think. The bus 53 coming from Muenchner Freiheit makes a detour away from Kurfuerstenplatz, but the 53 in the other direction - coming from Rotkreuzplatz - does go around Kurfuerstenplatz. At least that's how it is at present. Maybe it will have changed again in a couple of weeks. I go past there on the bus once or twice a week, so I'll post an update nearer the time if I can figure it out.


Carm, maybe you meant Kurfuerstenplatz? There's an U-Bahn station at Hohenzollernplatz, but I reckon it would be about 10 minutes walk from there to the Blue Nile.
