As I have suggested on the 'Who's going to Halfay House meet' thread , as the next meet falls on Valetines day (I will be skinned if I go , and sure alot of others are in the same boat ) How about post-poning it for the 3rd Thursday next month , the 21st February .............. Any ideas ??

Yep, good date, but maybe we should change the venue whilst we are at it..the grub at the halfhouse really is marginal at best, though I hear the chicken curry is good...LOL

On;y mentioned it as date changed, after Feb we'll go back to the halfway house since SIDC promotes that..but Nando's, Chillis, TGI's...we should be able to find something eh? Plus Steve, Disco and I can go check out Jumping Jacks - slightly different clientel than 1/2way house LOL

Theres a whoppingly good chinese there, next to the cinema!.

£12.00 a head though..(double that of my Lasagne @ Halfway!!!), but worth it, it's a buffet style, but the choice is immense as mentioned, otherwise there's also a Frankie and Bennys.

A good idea to move the date, frankly trying to drive any car after Castration, I think would be impossible.....

might be worth getting some idea of numbers, the last few meets have been 12 - 15 people eating.... + those arriving for a general car / life chat!. Basically, I think it might be a good idea to book summat!.

A nice candel lit dinner for yo, me Kev, Rob, Grae, Robert, Kate, Chuck, Knowelsy, Phil, Scott, Pete, Stuart,Toby, Ed....come on Disco, you know you want to...

keep in touch..

rob.

( might be worth posting a little summat on general, just to get the regulars to look here, rather than the usual day before peek!)

You know we are up for anyting That is either a curry or TGI or whatever.
Only we finaly remembered how to get to HH (yes across the Dartford Bridge ).....and you change the venue? That's OK, we like getting lost

The date doesn't realy matters to us, we'll be there !!!!

Can't wait, what about bowling again? I told you I am practicing....

See ye
Kate.....(oh and of course Robert)

The third Thursday would be a whole lot better for me too. It'll give me time to practice throwing a bowling ball at a reasonable speed and avoid any run-in the the local plod.

So, yep, count me in!!!

not hiding......running scared.............

well, when I am better...i.e. stopped dying...I might have a go, due to popular demand like.

so on that note, keep posting here if you wanna come out, think italian is safe, so Frankie and Bennys if they take bookings, couple of frames to bowl....see what I can do about getting some disco dancing diva's in delightfully dangerous (yet demure) designer dresses to do the dirty do's that chuck and co. might admire and appreciate while soberly ( Mr Manning excused due to extention occupation ) strutting their stuff in Jacks. summarised, I'll see if any of the old basildon single muvva's club wanna entertain some wicked car owners for an evening....best car pulls best birds...Chuck...don't bring the bug, not saying you need all the help you can get but......

well enough crap, any other suggestions post here

I know that some people don't look on here till the last minute, so we'll have to compensate for that, so any definate yep's and no's would be good.....

will keep in touch, back to bed time.....
