No mini's welcome!

[john]

OK so who's up for it then?

Xmas night out in Aberdeen and no cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What date suits everyone?:cool:


I feel a drink coming on:D

list of poeple depending on dates

ME:cool:
BonnieScotland
Martin Sulivan
Nenah
Bad Dog
DNV
Cazza
Sleepyrascal
Kinghorn
Eggy (if sleepy lets him):D

[The Dogfather]

Me for one, before the 23rd though, best if we can make it a earlier start just case Jackie wants to come along, as we'll have to catch the last bus back to Turriff which leaves at 10.40pm.

[Gismo]

Me, me, i can't say what date cause i don't know when i'm off, so, just add my name to the list when you decide :p

[MartinSullivan]

I'm up for it. Like Bonnie cant commit to a date - but put me on the list :D

[Nenah]

YES!!! ME ME ME! Only dates I cant do in December are 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 9th - otherwise free! We could do it around the 7th for your birthday John and make it a double celebration? If have a list of Aberdeen restaurants/bar that have set Christmas Menu's and prices for group bookings if you want some help. The Tapas bar on Union Street is a good night out for food and cheap jugs of Sangria - you can reserve tables for 8 or more - just a suggestion.

[The Dogfather]

Guess who works in event management!!!!

[john]

Think the 10th sounds good:)and its the Friday before the Pitlochry meet so everyone can exchange stories and remind everyone of the things they forgot(as you do with drink):clown::clown::cool:

Yep, 10th is perftect for me! Consider me a definate. Any ideas on where we should start the night off, John? We could do a pub crawl from Queens Road West End (Nenah's place 1st stop for some champers, then onto Queen's Hotel, Dutch Mill, Dizzy's, College, Frankensteins, Justice Mill, Braided Fig etc...)and work out way down the pubs into town? This is just a suggestion mind...:D:D

I organised a pub crawl in London a few years back based on the game 'Monopoly' where a drink was sunk at a pub in each area of the board game Strand, Fleet Street, and Trafalgar Square etc...We could do something similar for this Aberdeen sytle - or just be spontaneous and fly by the seat of our pants and see where the night takes us! :p(Hopefully no one goes "directly to Jail, do not pass Go and Do not collect £200! :eek::D)!

[The Dogfather]

10th fine with me as well!

[john]

Me and my BIG mouth:blackeye:

Not sure I can make the 10th now:I

Sound like a good plan to me as a starter Sleepy, seems most of us are up the west end so most logical starting point!! :p Although not too keen on Cafe Society/Casion (reasons to be explained on the night! ;)) - how about Babylon? If we are happy to eat at Black Olive I'll book a table as Mike Riley/Brian Collie and I are like this <cross fingers> - all in favour say Aye/Nay? :cool:

[The Dogfather]

Happy to go with the flow but might have to cry off early to catch the bus, just in case I can't get a lift home from Jackie.

[Gismo]

Sorry, can't do thursday's :(

What about a mini run to my house and pick Alan up in the passing!?:p - or I could just trail on to Montrose meself!! I'm off from the 17th Dec!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D (and possibly going to be visitng John to see about air horns, gauges and exhaust brackets, not that he knows this yet!!:p)

[Gismo]

Don't get too excited about getting me, the pool matches generally take all night, start at 8pm and i'm playing my last game around 10.15pm
Last train back from Aberdeen is 10.30 :(

[Gismo]

But, if it's the 16th December i've got no match, only thing being i might not be at home

[Julz]

I know for a fact I couldn't do the 16th cause I've still got to work the 17th, unless my secondment to our Aberdeen office goes through!:evil:

[Gismo]

Has a date been set yet?? I guessed the 16th cause it's a Thursday :I

[Julz]

No idea! I just gate-crashed this thread cause I got a text this morning from my boss approving my weeks holiday (I was meant to be working today:eek:) which gives me an extra week of seasonal celebration!!;):D

[Nenah]

Since John is a poor event organiser ;), I'm taking the initiative to see that Thursday is all systems G-O.

If youre listed on Page 1 as attending, please could you confirm that youre still joining us on Thursday's planned night out, starting at the Dutch Mill?

Martin, are you able to come now that your back in Aberdeen?

Sleepy - has Eggy been granted permission to come out and play with us?

Cheers
Nenah

[The Dogfather]

Oh Yeah! And like the farmers are hardcore - at least we dont have to get up at 5am. I'm taking bets people - the Mini Maniacs or the farmers...? ;)

[The Dogfather]

I can't stay too late as the only way of getting back to Turriff is via a lift. However I'll be on the sauce again the following morning, a Leo Sayer starting at 11am!

[Gismo]

Sorry, i have a match on the thursday after all, so, won't manage to this :dead:

[Nenah]

[Julz]

By the sound of John when he phoned me at 10pm, it was a good night and plenty of alcohol was consumed (and spilt!!):D

[DNV122]

Hey !

I was out on our works lunch #1 (12pm start) and was in the Dutch Mill from about 5:30pm awaiting the arrival of the NMS Heavies. What happened after kind of gets a bit blurry...

I phoned John a few times, but I still have two numbers so I tried both with no response. I think I ended up in No.10s about 8ish, then in Soul till v.late.

It was so bad, I staggered home via the KEBAB shop. Sorry I missed you all and apologies to Nenah if she found any bits of popadom or kebab on Winnie this morning......
