IanT(MoneyAM) - 12 Oct 2004 11:06

It's that time of year again, and a chance for all you users to get to meet and greet each other.

So here are the details:

Friday 10th December 2004

12.00 (midday): The Anchor, 34 Bankside, Southwark London SE1 9EF

Nice pub with plenty of space and Thames side terrace if its warm, nearest Tube is London Bridge. The anchor is opposite Vinopolis.

(Sadly this year there will be no entertainment as Bullie has decide to skip this part of the day as he is still suffering nightmares from last yearJ)

13.30 (1.30pm): Cantina Vinopolis, Vinopolis World of Wine,1 Bank End, London, SE1 9BU

V_WineDine.gif

Part of the well known Vinopolis World of Wine. If you are early why not take a tour and get some wine tasting in (extra charge for entrance)! http://www.vinopolis.co.uk/

18:30(6.30pm):Back to The Anchor.

If anyone wants to stay at a local hotel The Premier Lodge (next to The Anchor and opposite Vinopolis) is reasonable at about 72 per room. If you want to book ring 0870 990 6402.

Can you please indicate your lunch menu choice from the following options:

Starters:

1. Parsnip Soup with chestnut cream

2. Salmon Sashimi (thin sliced salmon with an Asian style Vinaigrette)

Guys,

Have updated the header to show meal choices.

As others post below, I will keep the list updated.

Ian

snoball - 12 Oct 2004 17:06 - 3 of 35

What's the parking like round there?

Greystone - 12 Oct 2004 19:17 - 4 of 35

snoball - a couple of places fairly close by:-

Montague Close SE1 and Tooley Street SE1, near London Bridge Station
Phone: +44 (0)20 7407 9779

Kayak - 12 Oct 2004 19:52 - 5 of 35

The Tooley Street car park is unpaved so use at your peril in a downpour :-)

chocolat - 13 Oct 2004 00:50 - 6 of 35

Can you put me down for a bit of everything please - I couldn't possibly decide just yet.

snoball - 13 Oct 2004 22:55 - 7 of 35

Thanks Greystone.
chocolate - lol.

moneyplus - 01 Nov 2004 18:03 - 8 of 35

Looks very nice but sorry can't make it, maybe next year though as it's a good idea. I like the new format on he home page Ian. cheers MP

VP - 05 Nov 2004 11:12 - 9 of 35

4-6-10 for me please; I'm "Spectoacc" but couldn't remember my login..

IanT(MoneyAM) - 05 Nov 2004 11:26 - 10 of 35

VP,

I have added you to the list - if you want me to send you your original username and password just let me know - or you can continue using this one.

Ian

mrsigns - 11 Nov 2004 16:33 - 11 of 35

The meal seems very expensive compared to their website.

You running a scam Bullie ?

Bullshare - 11 Nov 2004 16:45 - 12 of 35

mrsigns, perhaps you should get a new pair of glasses or you can't read.

Big Al - 11 Nov 2004 17:50 - 13 of 35

If I remember, the food bill wasn't the problem last year, the wine bill was.

I'm not sure who made up the difference either. Must've been the guardian angel of vino collapso!!

Scripophilist - 11 Nov 2004 18:32 - 14 of 35

At least we didn't have to fund the strip o'gram!

Big Al - 11 Nov 2004 19:25 - 15 of 35

Dunno about you, but we should've been paid to see it! ;-)

Hardly surprising the wine bill was so high after that.

Scripophilist - 11 Nov 2004 21:08 - 16 of 35

Was tempted to post up an image but will refrain from getting the thread banned.

Spaceman - 15 Nov 2004 14:50 - 17 of 35

Al, I still suffer mental torture when I remember the sight of bully on the floor with those fleshy items on his head.....

Big Al - 15 Nov 2004 18:59 - 18 of 35

I thought he was wearing ear-muffs!

;-))

Bullshare - 16 Nov 2004 07:38 - 19 of 35

Spaceman; you still suffer mental torture, what about me, my visits to the shrink have not done anything to help. Every time I see an 80 year old in the street i do a runner:)

moneymakesmoney - 16 Nov 2004 07:48 - 20 of 35

Bullie and your nightmares continue

Ruth - 16 Nov 2004 13:23 - 21 of 35

Bully, im not attending this year, but i know a girl who might just be popping in on you:-) that will keep you on your toes ,could i arrange anything more embarrasing than last years granny a gram? :-)mmmmmmmm of course i could, :-)

Scrip, lets start running a book
"will she or wont she have any practical jokes lined up"
i will decide which option to take after ive done my insider dealing:-)

stockbunny - 16 Nov 2004 14:58 - 22 of 35

Oh Bully....what a traumatic experience!
A brandy and sympathy is always available in the tea-rooms and
we don't charge as much as your average shrink to listen either....
we promise also not to snigger.........
;>)

Scripophilist - 16 Nov 2004 20:05 - 23 of 35

2-1 on I reckon!!

Big Al - 16 Nov 2004 21:09 - 24 of 35

bunny - sniggering is the least it should be. At least it'll never drown the howls on the day.

;-))

Ruth - 17 Nov 2004 11:33 - 25 of 35

Scrip, got to offer better odds than that to tempt me:-)

sim1 - 20 Nov 2004 13:04 - 26 of 35

Hi

Can you please include me:

1. Parsnip Soup with chestnut cream
6. Traditional Roast turkey with potatoes, brussel sprouts + chestnuts
10. Orange and passion Fruit tart



IanT(MoneyAM) - 22 Nov 2004 08:28 - 27 of 35

sim1,

I have added you to the list,

Ian

sim1 - 22 Nov 2004 12:04 - 28 of 35

thanks Ian

crystalclear - 24 Nov 2004 04:55 - 29 of 35

So what is all this about?

http://ad.uk.tangozebra.com/00003008/ReutersTransitionbanner/tranzition.html?tz_playFlashAd=&tz_appBase_00003008=http%3A//ad.uk.tangozebra.com/&tz_advertBase_00003008=00003008/&tz_folder_00003008=ReutersTransitionbanner/&tz_refID_00003008=moneyam_ros&tz_referrer_id_00003008=1973&tz_cid_00003008=6435&tz_dest=http%3A//www.moneyam.com/InvestorsRoom/ShowThreadList%3FfID%3D1%26from%3D60&tz_load_dest=false&tz_vc_00003008=&tz_redirector_00003008=&tz_pv_00003008=&tz_rnd=0.5819896100498332

Is it Browser hijacking? Some ad company intercepting browser use and redirecting it to their site? Whatever it is, my browser hangs there some times, and its only when I try to use MonayAM. Have I clicked on an advert by accident? Happens a bit often for that. Confused!

IanT(MoneyAM) - 24 Nov 2004 07:08 - 30 of 35

crystal,

This is an advert for Reuters we are currently running on the site, but it should not hang your browser, it should display a full page advert for a few seconds when you first navigate around the site. It may be that you have some blocking software that is causing your browser to hang when this advert tries to appear.

Ian

crystalclear - 24 Nov 2004 14:07 - 31 of 35

Thanks Ian
I'll reduce my usage until they have finished running the advert, hopefully not too long.
Its not the whole browser that hangs, just the window I had opened for MoneyAM so its not too bad. I think its just the security on the PC, which will let Money AM run stuff on my PC but won't allow strange unknown sites to mess about doing goodness knows what - I regard that as a security risk. Thanks for the help.

snoball - 26 Nov 2004 00:00 - 32 of 35

So that's what's blowing my browser. I get one of those Microsoft messages suggesting I report it.
You will be hearing from them in due course. :-)

brianboru - 28 Nov 2004 23:54 - 33 of 35

advert for Reuters - ie/tools/security/resticted sites and enter it's site name (http://ad.uk.tangozebra.com) seems to have killed the annoying ad (both here and advfn).

superrod - 05 Dec 2004 16:37 - 34 of 35

i would love to be there as the anchor is an old haunt of mine from BT days. lots of good pubs in the area, my favourite was the Hatchet, frequented by traders who would take delight in giving dodgy tips to anyone ear wigging their conversations.

i would take issue that london bridge is the nearest tube.....i would have thought cannon st was nearer.

enjoy your lunch, the pictures seem to show it was a success last time.

little woman - 09 Dec 2004 11:33 - 35 of 35

Wish I could attend this year. But I've already used my holiday entitlement
for the Year. (In fact I think I'm going to start next year with a minus!)

I don't think I can go sick, as I don't think they'd believe me...;-)
