TT Frankfurt Christmas Party - Sunday 10.Dec.2006

Yes please. so I know how many to bring my bit of the food for!

Excellent

Mind you all somebody needs to do is go back the old threads and work out who has said yes it needn't be me per say!

I'll do it tonight

Do a quick headcount, then times by 2... that way we know there'll be enough to cope with my over-active appetite

Ok so here is the list so far

Purple Muffin (and Prob+1)
Evanna
Little Britain
Huggy Bear
Sc5799000000000000009ß9ß90
Booglilicious
Jonnyboy
Chickenmadras
astrid jane
billy (+1)
bilalbham
hanna (+1)
Number 10
Kes (I'll put her down but not sure. But no worry on the food front she is veggie so won't eat anything)
Grimsby (He did say he was up for it one night down the pub - not heard anything else though no response to PMs or text messages)

So that makes 16-18 people. Little Britain how many plates do you have? Shall we bring some or get paper ones?

Also does anybody fancy bringing some crackers instead of food? (One of the blokes maybe?)

The Secret Santa people - you know who you are and who you are buying for. Please do not let the side down. Those who could not pull out of the bag directly have received a PM. I'll have probably forgotten who was buying for who anyway so not really a big deal.

Right time to get back to some work

Well i didn't do either !! so as i suspected, mine must be a fix !!!

@Number10, Looks like you didn't register for the Secret Santa mate! I must admit, looking back at the posts, it doesn't look like it.

@Muffin thanks for organising it and you will never guess who I have got! Hee Hee, I presume your comment that a bloke should bring crackers, implies that blokes can't cook?? I'll be bringing food along, I'm sure you will want to sample my famous ribs! Thanks for the numbers! (Yikes!)

Au contraire... i'm in... seems i was the only one to pull by phone !!

now that is a first!

well I borrowed a load of plates of my auntie when I was in my first flat, I've had to give these back to her now.
As of right now I have the grand total of 4 plates in my flat!

So I would suggest that either you guys all bring plates or we just get some paper party plates.

I also have a dishwasher so if we do have proper plates it will be easy to clean up, no dish washing duties

List update to come tomorrow when I am not so shattered after a weekend of learning to snowboard.

Paper plates/cups could be a winner then

Billy I am not implying that blokes cannot cook. What I am saying is that I am confident that most of the blokes on here (yourself excluded) will not be bothered with making something! Hey maybe they can all prove me wrong but somehow I doubt it. Just a bit irritating as I know us girls (and hey yep we are all just as busy as the guys) will go to a bit of effort!

Here is the updated list

Purple Muffin (and Prob+1)
Evanna
Little Britain
Huggy Bear
Sc5799000000000000009ß9ß90
Booglilicious

Chickenmadras

Number 10
Snowleopard
Rozija

Maybes

Kes
Grimsby

Making the numbers up to 18-20 people!

Hi I am new to this forum but I would love to join you guys for breakfast on Sunday! I am also happy to do secret santa.

I'm American, live near Bornheim and work in Frankfurt!

Hi Theresa,

Welcome to Frankfurt!

You are more than welcome to come along just bring a dish for the brunch

Secret Santa draw has already been done I'm afraid and I'll be accused of fixing it if I add you now!!

are we talking beef casserole or tanned sophisticated hunk / chick?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm that is a toughie obviously I cannot ask for both

Who said you couldn't ask for both? Well if Jonnyboy was a sophisticated tanned hunk, and brought a beef casserole, then bingo!. But yep, you are right, if he does this, then one out of two ain't bad
P.S. Johnny bring a spare set of shoes in case you lose some...

Final Infos

Address Martin Luther Str. 31 (directions to follow from LB) name on bell is King I assume?

Time How about 2pm that gives us time to recover from Saturday night. Can people try not to be too late please.

Secret Santa Those taking part know who you are and well you know you'll all be looking a lot worse than a Purple Muffin if you do not show or forget your pressie. Can I also ask you all to put a name tag on the gift so we know who it is for.

Food we agreed that everyone was to bring one dish to make up the buffet. It does not have to be homemade so don't feel under pressure to go to a lot of effort unless you want to. But the rule is if you are coming to brunch then bring something. I will have to think of a suitable punishment if anyone dares not to bring something.

We will also need paper plates, cups, cutlery (maybe one person could bring these instead of some food - please let me know).

Ok think I have been bossy enough for one afternoon time to get back to work

Look forward to seeing you all Sunday

Oh, thats kool, can I bring the misses? I know she wont be in on the secret santa but Im going to be in Heidelberg over the weekend and shes driving me back to Frankfurt so its the least I can offer her!!

Of course you can bring her!

You could also maybe get a lift with Billy - he lives in Heidelberg and will be driving up.

Yeah, I could, but I want to get into Frankfurt around 12 so I can cook and brink ma dish over!! If hes coming in around that time then great!!

Hi Bilalbham, its probably going to be 2ish when I get up there I'm afraid, picking up Mrs, Billy from Frankfurt airport at 9.30 then driving back to HD for her to get unpacked, check the ribs, pack'em then trundle back up to Frankfurt. She may want to rest when she gets here, as she will have been up since 4am to get the flight.

@Muffin, your final list didn't include Bilabham's +1 I don't think.

See you all on Sunday!

Thats kool Billy, I'll hopefully get +1 to give me a lift to Frankfurt

@Billy hope 2ish is closer to 2 and not ish as some big partiers have to leave early for trains to Geneva. So Secret Santa needs to have a time set

as discussed last night, there will prob also be at least 5 of my fellow ex-Frankfurt student colleagues who will come along with me. It is our yearly Xmas re-union weekend in Frankfurt so the ones that do not have to fly back too early on the sunday will be up for coming along.

there's a couple of girls and a few guys, they are all a very good bunch



ps we've got a table @ Joe Penas booked on sat night - we'll be out later on so may meet up with you peeps that are out in town etc. Thinking Studio Bar then Sansibar at the mo, if we can't get in there then we will probs head to Stereo Bar in Sachsenhausen

@LB did you get my PM about Sunday and arrangements?

Sure, 2pm means 2pm now that I am in Germany!

Er...the numbers are increasing...can't guarantee that all the ribs will go round so when they are gone, then they are gone. Another incentive to arrive on time I suspect!

gotta make sure I get there to sample a rib Billy! been looking forward to trying this for ages now

generally i'm sure there'll be enough food to go round, there'll surely be a few takeaway pizzas there also etc etc..

I am sorry about the increasing numbers but it is out of my control!

I wouldn't worry there should be plenty of food as everyone is bringing something. I'll sacrifice my rib

No need to scarifice anything! Going to the US-base to-morrow to get the stuff, so just need to get an idea of numbers. Should be plenty!

Well, being a girl you are already one short on the boys...

Ok peeps we have decided to put the time back to 1pm after all as some people have to leave early!

So Billy we'll try not to eat too much before the ribs arrive at 2pm

I should still be able to make it for 1pm I think. Muffin, I will bring you your lost rib!

No worries

Ok folks still need a volunteer to organise some cutlery and Christmas sevriettes.

It would be great if someone could do this please let me know today if you can.

Otherwise I cannot promise to find time to get some myself (but I will try) so people might be eating with their fingers.

You eat ribs with Fingers anyway! I'm going to the US-base this afternoon, so I can pick up Plastic KFS and a bag of serviettes. Do you need paper plates? Can pick those up too if you like.
Guess I'm the volunteer then...

Plates and cups are being brought by chickenmadras.

Can you get Christmas serviettes? They would be better. If not I can get some

Sure I'll see if they have some, I'm sure they will!

Have a wild time to-morrow tonight at the party, and cya Sunday!!

Tell you what drop me a text if you cannot get any Christmas ones and I will get some!

Oh I hope everyone remember they need to bring booze if they want to drink

LB, instructions on how to get to yours, mate, please?

Check the final info thread above!

U4 Höhenstr

Any sign of life this morning?

Well brunch was good and the visit from Santa was great

All I can say is I am not used to drinking all day

Haha, obviously not many survived my ribs!

@Muffin thanks for organising it, and LB for hosting. Had a great time thanks, good food, drink and company! Was interesting trying to see myself using a CD as a mirror!

Santa

A top day and a great way to spend a Sunday. Felt a little bit like a Becks advert towards the end...chilling with friends and two crates of Becks

Thanks Santa for my calendar of naked girls...

Excuse me Billy why are you impersonating Santa? If we behave like this he won't come next year

Oops, that's true, you never know if Santa will turn up or not! He looked like my shape and had my glasses on, but obviously it wasn't me - how could it be? His little helper was hot though! She must have been busy making all the toys in the Toy Workshop in the North pole!

Is that why she was wearing so few clothes?

@jonny

sounds like i missed a good one after the prezzies ! shame - although i was already lagging after saturday a bit to be honest!

Santa will be pleased to know I proudly wore my gangsta bling all the way back to GE..all the more funny cos i was sat in 1st class.. my new found "hip-hop chic" prompted at least three baseball capped youths to make strange hand signals in my direction... and I'm sure the swiss police were giving me more attention than normal... "Iz it cuz i iz black ???"

Anyway cheers 'nivea soft' LB for providing the gaff
cheers santa for being jolly and generous
cheers miss santa for flashing the flesh
and cheers astrid jane for the american pie

And to chickenmadras for bringing his friends Paris and Hamster...

Glad you enjoyed my video clips - I have a feeling none of the ladies will ever speak to me again

Do we class what she was wearing as clothes?
