I bet, perhaps can arrange something another day too

though I'd have to go back to work and not go onto the pub.

Not if you pick me up

. And, since neither of us will be drinking it won't be a problem taking the car

I'll arrange for my chauffeur to pick you up from work, and then we can both drink.

I am expecting those above to attend Parly lunch tomorrow, table is booked for 12.30pm, if you come to the Public Entrance, Horse's Wynd at 12.20-12.25. I will see you then, looking forward to it!

Think we should go easy on the wine though

What a fantastic lunch. great food, brill company, we drunk a bit more than we should have but my god it was fun. There's only one Portobello and its us. xxx

I had a great time too

though feeling rather fragile today! Great company and chat, lots of wine, good food.

I suggest a dinner on a Friday in February or March, is anyone interested? Though the restaurant manager suggested I let them know so they can get lots of wine in......

How much was the bill again????

Epykat · Post by **Epykat** » 27 Jan 2007, 12:06

[quote="Sandra]How much was the bill again????[/quote]

I think Bob's got the evidence in his pocket ready to post later (where is he by the way? Hope this doesn't mean he didn't go right home

). Had a good day, stuck to my quota of 1 glass of wine (yes, folk's it's true), although I think it was possibly the x amount of vodkas that did the damage! Great company, no major mishaps and home at a reasonable hour for supper - which happened to be - haggis and tatties left over from Thursday

foxy · Post by **foxy** » 27 Jan 2007, 12:55

Really good day and thanks again to Sandra for organising us

Not having Epykat's resolution I drank every drink that came my way and am now living to tell the tale

May I offer an open apology to anyone I may have offended with my belligerent drunkenness, especially Bearcub

No offence taken, thought we were just having a quiet, reserved, politics discussion

I had a great day, thoroughly enjoyable company and excellent food. Looking forward to seeing the evidence when Bob posts the bill, although the fact we drank the restaurant out of their stock of (at least) 2 of their wines says it all really.

Great to hear you all had a great time!!!

Sounds like " fun, fun, fun" all the way!!!

If you make it mid to late March I might be able to come along Sandra.

Epykat, never fear, Bob is fine and has just told me what a good time was had by all, though maybe you should be concerned about PoP's whereabouts?

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 27 Jan 2007, 14:10

Put me down for a definite Sandra. I was all for staying for dinner last night, as were one or two others. A memorable lunch and lots of laughs. Home in time for tea and it's always a bonus when I go on a POL event and don't get arrested.

Here's the sordid details. Bear in mind that we went to the pub afterwards. The more sensible members of the party, suprisingly including myself, left the hardened drinkers behind and got a taxi back to Portobello. PoP was last seen heading for a krakatoe bar.

foxy · Post by **foxy** » 27 Jan 2007, 14:16

I make that 15 bottles of wine and at least 3 were not really partaking. Neither wonder my head hurts

I then went on to vodka and had a few Tigers at the Indian later

I like the parly postcode

Are you deluded? What time do you have your tea at your house?
