We had a rather enjoyable OOF Xmas meal in Brakkers last year, with the obligatory xmas
turkey chicken if a nice creamy sauce, mostly madras, but some korma etc etc.
Should we repeat the tradition this year? Also, are peeps happy with Brakkers, or a different location? I'm happy to travel a little bit.
That said, my only free date I think is Saturday 13th.
Thoughts?
-
I'm totally booked up for the next five years. Sorry. ;D

Thank god for that, it took me ages to replace those sport stars, after the last oof bash you stalked.

Had to melt them. No omegas owners left to flog them to. Theres a young fell round the corner got one but when I asked for fifty quid he said that was more than his omega was worth.

Will there be any pre / post meal fireworks?

Count me and mrs bear in :)

Will there be any pre / post meal fireworks?

'Released' is a more ... err ... appropriate term, Al ::)
Yep, Geli's back in circulation ... so to speak ;)

Guessed that Al! ;)
Mr Kelly'll be using our Caddy van, as he presently has transportation problems.
Distance is no object for 'im, so it's now date/venue dependant ... ::)

And thoughts on location?
Seth - I'm banned from Fireworks :-[

Spencers Wood is halfway between Kent and Northamptonshire... ::)
Annoyingly I'm likely to need to be working later that night :'(
-
If a few people suggest approx. areas, I'll pop up a poll, and we'll go with the most popular, and I'll get a local to organise :)

Can't argue with that :y
-
So any other ideas for areas, other than Brakkers and "near" Reading.
-
boogar, boogar, boogar .. >:( >:( >:(
Already booked for something that weekend .. :'( :'( :'(
-
So no other suggestions beyond Brakkers or Reading-ish?

New Argentinian Steak House in Horsham :-\

Ooooohohooo. Steeeeeeak. :) :) :)
-
Ooooohohooo. Steeeeeeak. :) :) :)
I can taste it already... ::)
Premier Inn and Travelodge in town as well as several B+Bs :y
-
Me and wifey more than happy to travel bearing in mind NickW et al came all the way from Kent last time!
As for suggestions on where.... Oxford's a bloody nice place! Although never had a curry there. Could pop in to the Turf Tavern too :) :) :) :)
-
Ooooohohooo. Steeeeeeak. :) :) :)
I can taste it already... ::)
Premier Inn and Travelodge in town as well as several B+Bs :y
TheBoy would probably have to wait outside, given his dodgy foot, and so on. We could sit him by the extractor so at least he can smell it, I suppose? :-\

Poll added, votes are changeable. If you think of somewhere else, just suggest it.
Need it nailed in a couple of days though.
-
Voted, but will run with the democracy :y
-
Voted, but anywhere will do.
...quite fancy a Steak though. :)

I wanted steak for tea tonight, ended up with bangers and chips surprise... ...the surprise being no bangers - they tasted bloody horrible, so went in the bin. Suspect they had been in the freezer too long, hence why I'm not having a freezer in the garage.
-
Will pop up details of an alternative steak place, along with the one I had in mind later.
Nothing wrong with the place I had in mind but picked some people up who went there yesterday... £440 between 6 including 4 bottles of wine and beers :o
Apparently very nice though...

Three votes. Three locations. Nice social evening then? ;D

As promised...
The posh place (http://www.barestaurant.com/venues.php#Horsham)
And the far less pretentious place ever so slightly cheesy place (http://www.smith-western.co.uk/restaurant-horsham.html)
:y
-
Did we come to any arrangement for this?
-
I have eaten in a Smith and Western before. Highly, highly recommended. He's right about the cheesiness mind you :y
-
Oh look. One extra vote has appeared information for Brackley. And poll closed. ;D
Quite fancy some Argy steak meself. About time we had a do down south anyway, for members down there. :)
-
Given recent events perhaps we should add Bracknell as a location. ;)
Or add/change date if necessary? :y
-
Good shout :y diary is filling up though...

Sad to say I've fekked up, only reminded by SWMBO last night :(
I have Saints match on Saturday, completely forgot. :-[ If it was in Brackley I may have just about made it.. Soz guys, hate bein' a let down. :'(
Hope you all have a great night though :y

Poor show here, chaps. I know Gixer is a pain in the arse, but he so looks forward to his girls' nights out.
-
There's more going than are visible here, they just don't want you to know about it, in case you turn up and nic their wheels. (Again)
-
Alas, geography and work are against us - I don't finish til 1930 so it would be a bit of a late arrival...
-
Going by texts it might be difficult for Aaron to attend, so, er, back to Brackley?
Not helping am I Dad! ;D

TS 17 is the postcode for Thornaby, but also includes Ingleby Barwick and surrounding area to the south, which generally, socio economically, they are at opposite ends of the spectrum.......... :( :-X

Not snobbish tis not where I live but it is part of the area I work, and I have people I work with in both areas, money means very little, in my line of work, whatever you may see on the television............. ;) ;)

Anyway, I'm betting your not driving all the way down here for a curry.... Any more for any more...? :)

As a point of note, MrsGK and I have now moved from that TS17, to a much nicer area, I'd best get on with updating my profile. The kick up the arse to move house was when we came home from a weekend away to find footprints on the Elite's roof, the wheelie bin upended, and a note from the police... lovely area!

I broke down once, having done a'visit' and the car would not start, 'sh1t I thought' and people were coming onto the street!................ ::) ::) Word had spread, anyway I rang the AA, I explained my situation, she said up to 45 mins, I reaffirmed my situation, and was advised to ring the Police.................... :o :o Thankfully the car started and I was on my way; I waited till I was well away before cancelling the AA........happy days........ :D :D

chrisgixer - I've looked on the map, but hasn't helped much ;D. Is that the one that we've been to before where you have to drive through an estate, and it feels that it'll go nowhere, but ends up in a little shopping precinct, and the curry house is in the corner? I believe you, me and aaronjb had a drink sat outside once waiting for a table?

Stupid boy pike. ;D
M4 50 limit starts half way between 8/9 and 10
Same east bound. Starts just after 11
See Google maps it's marked in yellow. ....and think of the economy. ;)

But be fare. 329m is clear ;D

50mph is only a distant dream for my commute, its a good trip if I manage to hit 40mph on the commute :'(
-
There are average speed cameras but the first camera isn't until half way or more. There is a light on a pole to illuminate the road, but they are still easy to miss. That section has no street lights.
-
Think the m3 is being dug up as well. Between the m25 and light water. Junctions 2 and 3. For those coming from the south east.
-
Yup it is - starts just south of J3 and ends at the M25 junction.. 50 limit for 90% of that.
I'd love to come to this.. but I got the list of permitted foods through for my procedure on the 15th and, basically, the rules appear to be "if it's white and contains no fibre, you can eat it" .. so I think pigging out on Indian is probably out :(
