Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 27 Jan 2005, 22:30

Proposal - a night out at the well-reviewed Sizzlers restaurant on Portobello High St on Saturday 5/12 March at 7pm to celebrate 300 registered members and 15000 posts. Everyone invited, inc partners.

Vote now for your preferred date if you intend to come along. Poll open until 3 Feb. More details once we have settled on date.

By the narrowest of margins it's Sat 12 March for dinner at Sizzlers. I hope whoever voted for the previous Sat (PoP?) can still make the preferred date.

I now need confirmed numbers so could you please post below if you are definitely going to be there and indicate whether you are bringing anyone else along with you. I will then make the booking and let you know if a deposit is required. Is 7pm OK with everyone?

Hope to get it all sorted out by the weekend, so let me know ASAP.

And to get the ball rolling, I will be there without partner. Well, someone has to look after the kids.

I'll be there - without partner.

I think it may have been me. I will be struggling to make the 12th as its a Rugby weekend and we have a big match the next day against Wales. PoP and I have guests coming from afar and I can't see us making it along.

The 5th is not much better really, sad to say.

I voted for 12th (I think)...and would love to come along, no partner

Beach Babe · Post by **Beach Babe** » 03 Feb 2005, 21:56

I'll be there with partner lol

although will confirm soon when we've checked the babysitting situation

Unfortunately myself and Sandra can't make it, sorry! Nights out are severely limited at the moment due to 'trying' to save for the wedding. We will make the next one though - if it's after April 16th

I got the task of posting this as Sandra didn't want to be the one that said we couldn't come

Epykat · Post by **Epykat** » 04 Feb 2005, 18:24

I'll be there - initially without partner but you never know - maybe he'll gatecrash this one too! Just book for one though thanks!

DG · Post by DG » 06 Feb 2005, 11:29

Myself and Mr DG will be there

. Sandra, Bearcub, Porty and PoP, sorry you wont make it - hopefully next time.

I make that 8 so far, assuming that Dadaist and Beachbabe are able to sort out a sitter.

Can anyone else who wishes to attend please let me know so I can make the booking.

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 06 Feb 2005, 12:11

Moi aussi...sans partner...

Pal of Porty · Post by **Pal of Porty** » 06 Feb 2005, 12:27

Just to confirm that I cannot make this one but not to worry as I am sure there will be plenty other opportunities. Have a brill night.

Lizzie · Post by **Lizzie** » 06 Feb 2005, 12:42

Sorry to say

I can't manage either, as Porty says its a big Rugby weekend, Scotland/Wales - we too have friends coming to stay for a few days, I'm disappointed it clashes. Have a good night, hopefully I'll be able to make the next one

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 06 Feb 2005, 16:46

I have booked a table for ten people. If anyone else wants to join us please let me know as soon as possible. Because it's a large group they have asked us to give them our menu choices in advance. This will make life easier for them and should ensure better service for us, so it's in our mutual interest. They have also asked for a Ã‚Â£10 deposit per person.

So, over the next week or so could you please pick up an 'a la carte' menu and choose a starter and main course. You can post your choices here or send me a private message. I'm not sure what to have. Any recommendations?

The deposit. So you didn't like having to announce your username at the Dalriada?

This time, to save you the embarrassment, I have allocated everyone a number as follows:

Bob - 1
Marya - 2
foxy - 3
Beach Babe - 4
Dadaist - 5
Epykat - 6
DG - 7
Mr DG - 8
Bellybabe - 9

The table is booked under the name Jefferson. All you have to do is hand over your tenner along with your number.

A reminder that you need to pay your deposit and select your dishes.

DG · Post by DG » 18 Feb 2005, 13:03

We'll do that today

DG

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 19 Feb 2005, 17:03

Went in today and paid my deposit. Asked for a menu and was told that you had taken one Bob and that you were going to 'photocopy one for us?? I'll go back and just look at the menu in the restaurant, when my head is clearer and I am capable of making a decision.

BTW Mr Sizzler senior was very keen to talk about a charming young couple, with the most perfect baby, who had been in and were also coming on the night out. Emily has obviously wowed him as he was heaping compliments on her. He said she had the sweetest nature of any child he had met

I said that she took after her mother

Thanks Bob!

If you are having puddings the biscuit basket with ice cream, amaretto biscuits and amaretto liqueur is fab.

DG · Post by DG » 20 Feb 2005, 18:15

Sandra, this is Mr DG's favourite

DG

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 20 Feb 2005, 18:17

Good taste Mr DG!

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 25 Feb 2005, 23:07

The Father (if anyone can elighten me with his name please do!) is so friendly he always waves or chats (if he is outside) on the way past - great place to have in Porty! We were blethering in the street tonight and last night he had visitors from Corstorphine - he was dead chuffed.

DG · Post by DG » 25 Feb 2005, 23:46

His name is Monet (may not be the exact spelling) and son is Morad. Lovely family.

Oh...and the wonderful chef who is currently on holiday is Charles from the Champagne region of France.

Im feeling left out, even although I cant make it along. One of my bestest friends is arriving from the US tomorrorw for a week of drunken, rugby related debauchery. Not that we are the typical rugger b uggers, no, no no, we are much more sophisticated than that.

I suppose there is an outside chance of me putting in a sozzled Sizzlers appearance. However, after a long day drinking and rugby watching. I don't think it would be a pretty sight.

Jay · Post by **Jay** » 11 Mar 2005, 15:08

I just want to say 'Bon appetit' to everyone for tomorrow night. It sounds like it's going to be superb.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it,

but it's not easy for me to commit to things so far ahead, sadly.

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 11 Mar 2005, 21:39

Hope you all enjoy yourself, will hear all about it later tomorrow or Sunday morning...

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 12 Mar 2005, 13:48

What time is the table booked for?

I was wondering that too. I'm assuming 7.00p.m.

Bob?

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 12 Mar 2005, 13:59

Yes, it's 7pm which means that I will miss the end of the Southampton v Man U game. Drat!

Hope you have all paid your deposits and placed your orders for starters and main courses.

See you all later.

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 12 Mar 2005, 14:23

Pity the Figgate Whins is still shut ............. you could have watched it there then nipped across the road!

Hope you all have a lovely time!

But remember Poppy, they wouldn't let us in, the last night out!

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 12 Mar 2005, 15:37

7 o'clock?

Bob, what were you thinking?!

I don't think I can be there that early, and I suspect other people with very young children might struggle too.

I'll just get there as soon as I can.

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 12 Mar 2005, 16:32

Check the very first post on this thread - it's a little too late to change the arrangements now. I expect we will have the table for the night so we could have an aperitif while we are waiting for Bellybabe to turn up.
