Drinks and German language practice

It'll be fun c'mon along. And if not you can always do like the very wise Persimmon says.

How does one say "i need to go home now, I think I hear my mother calling me..." in German?

I will come along this Thursday. However, my German is ganz schlecht. So people looking for real begineers would have no problems.

Give it up xargon. If you haven't made it beyond 10 words after all this time, you will never make it. Don't screw it up for others.

That is why Persimmon always is leaving early.

No way dude! Mein Deutsch erhält unendlich besser mit alkohol. Ich habe einen Kater jetzt.

@ brokenm only when you're there

@Persimmon

Ha ha. But if I recall correctly, I have been the one to leave early the last two times, and I think the excuse last time was...I need to run home to punch down my bread dough...but it may have come out of my mouth as..."See you later, had a great time"

makes me look forward to tomorrow

jml, are you coming?? Commit damn you

Who me? well, i do want to see who leaves first, Broken-M or Persimmon.

Jml??? You are representin' for L-town tonight?? See you there, but I would place my bets on that Persimmon lasts longer than I will. My girlfriend visits tomorrow, and I must clean the place up...so I must return while it is still light enough to catch the dust bunnies!

see yous there!

Thanks Shaggy for arranging the meetup. Park Cafe was a good choice. Right in the city but lots of leafy trees and bushes, especially since we got the corner tisch. (There was however a big ass leaf trying to hump my ear. It was not grr baby. Ok maybe it was. Ahh nature).

Anyhoo, good food, good company and good practise. Special thanks to the natives esp rubber duck for suffering through my german again.

PS: Broken M left first.

wasn't a leaf... was broken m...

Mini nag... Pls pls post the attendance list that Ed Bob so kindly set up... makes getting the table reservation right... saves getting squashed to death between Dutchmen and secret scousers...

Nice evening and a good crowd...best of all, 200m from home

.. next one, by request probably at Cafe Motzart (where ever that is )...Thursday 28th

does it count if i never talked to brokenm?

You said, "Hello"!! and I am no shrubbery!! But I do like ears...

Was nice to meet everyone in that short guest appearance i made.Sorry didnt mean to just barge in and out but was good to see some new faces and of course cleared my notion of brokenm being a woman
Shaggy, these posts should also be in german, No???

Checked in the mirror this morning...definitely a man...but I am worried that this constant berr drinking is starting to give me gynecomastia.

Boney... this is an english only forum... but I was impressed with your Ginglish!

Was impressed that by 10pm, I was sitting almost alone in Park Cafe, trying to speak German with myself. Everyone finished and left so quickly ! Must change my aftershave !

Next time I promise to stay longer. I have just been a bit busy these last couple of weeks. I may even outlast Persimmon. But it was a great location, thanks for organising Shaggy!

I was thinking about the next one (Thurs 28th) being a meal event at the Blue Nile (greaaat food!)... fun place.. eat with hands etc.

Anyone prefer just a bar? Please post preferences by Friday so i can plan reservations..

Not sure if I'll be there as have visitors but my 2cents is that proper restaurants are hard given that peeps come (and go) at different times. It would be nice as long as either:

1. peeps commit to showing up on time
2. the restaurant and staff are well warned and amenable that peeps will be coming and going AND possibly not everyone would be eating...

sounds like a tall order really but it would be worth it to iron out the details so no one gets their nose out of joint.

Sounds great, and I like how you change up the venues (Biergartens, cafes and Restaurants), but I don't know if I can come as I will be having visitors coming as well. I agree with jml, though on making it a fixed time, rather than a come and go evening.

i love blue nile!! would be well up for going there again... but i agree it could be slightly complicated to organise...:-(

Ok.. seems that we should org the Blue Nile for a separate event then...
suggestions then folks??

I also have friends in town so since many of the regulars can't make it, maybe we should delay by one week then.. or pull forward to tomorrow..

Due to the fact that a load of regulars have visitors etc (inc me), we'll reserve 2 tables... one for just english.
Any non german speakers that wanna join, feel free to sign up at the attendence link in the original thread.

Park Cafe was perfect so lets hold it there again but in the general beer garden, close to the beer stall. (Inside if raining)

@ Persimmon, Toast, Ume, iceberg Slim, Billybob, arwen, canuck, JML etc... Spanish Eva is back.. hope you can make it.

oops... I am playing badminton this thrusday...
I really want to meet spanish eva... I will try to catch her in some event soon...
I guess persimmon is in US...

Ahh... you've changed this ! You were going to delay this one week. I will be at the Höfbraukeller for a drink or two, as it's by B'day that day. Maybe some of you can come by later ? U4/U5 goes from Karlsplatz to Max-Webber Platz, or jump on the 18 tram, and it goes right past the Höfbraukeller !

Hi Pepper,

It seemed a few ppl still wanted to meet... if numbers are low though, we can push back until the following week.

JIC, have a fun time at HBH.

i will def. try to make this one! promissed!

ooo i got all confused with this too - have already made other arrangements for thurs now... sorry guys no "hidden scouser" this time :-(

as if you could really hide a real scouser

looks like too many with other plans...

To keep the majority happy, lets skip a week. Will change the dates to reflect.

Well, if the weather holds out (Thursday's forecast - hottest yet at 34 degrees, with high humidity, so good chance for a storm), there is always this as an alternative !

B'Day drinks - Höfbraukeller

!NEW DATE!
Due to special requests, we've bumped the event a week.

Any newbies worried about finding us, just PM for a handy number.

9 already signed up... Looks like we will have a good number this time

@Ume Eva will drop by too... she's curious about your German

I hoffe Eva mein deutsch versteht.

@Ume- she's laughing her head off

fünfzehn zo var. natürlich wir gut zeit hahen in abend...

newbie immer wilkommen. register schnell.

Stop Ume... you're killing me

To make it easier for the newbies:

If we are outside, look for a table close to the Beer Hut...
There'll be a YELLOW RUGBY BALL on the table.

If it is rainy, ask for "Toytown" inside.

what the hell does a rugby ball look like?

@Toast- that has to be a wind up but jic:

Like an American Football- But yellow... Anyway, you know loads of ppl already

I will see you between 7-9...
komm bereit...
