Hi choccie

Heck, I had better bring the waterproofs.
Big Al

Don't think we'll say anything more on a public BB, amber! ;-)))))))))))

- 47 of 334
...and about this time of nite, what goes down a treat your right.....a nice little floater....now what's wrong with that Big Al...tut tut!

So, I need to bring a fiver for cod and chips, and a copy of the Sun?

Big Al
- 13 Oct 2005 01:47
- 73 of 334
Bones, the cod and chips should be wrapped in the copy of the sun liberally covered in mushy peas with lashings (!) of salt and vinegar. ;-))
..................on second thoughts, I'll have that as my main course. LOL!
Bones
- 13 Oct 2005 08:24

The red wine should go down well with all that grease.........just make sure there's a clear path to the conveniences!

- 96 of 334
Is there any minimum standard of dress ie a suit? I could be in London on a visit but don't fancy packing a tux (which I haven't got anyway) or even a suit. Is reasonable casual OK? Don't want to let the side down!
Ruth

Schiff, i will be casual, and the scouser with me will probably be in a shell suit, :-)

And BigA in a skirt - what's the problem?
Big Al

- 99 of 334
schiff - I wore my best Levis 2 years ago and intend pushing the boat out similarly this year. After the first Singapore Sling nobody will give a toss anyway....................especially not those NW lot. ;-))
This, of course, assumes Choccy wears her own skirt and doesn't force me into it. Even if she does, then I've got the size 9 stillettos already polished and a fresh set of fishnets on the head under the baseball cap, which is some kind of check colour. They told me BRBY at the stall. LOL

Hello,
I have sent some of you an E mail to ask for your telephone numbers, as I am going to be ringing you before the end of the week to get the 33 payment. If I have mailed you could you just send back the best number to get hold of you on and I will give you a call.
Should be a good do this year - restaurant is really nice and food excellent, plus good value at 33 for 3 courses, tip, wine and Singapore sling (whatever one of those is :)
Ian

A Singapore Sling is the action executed by the head chef to eject drunken revellers. One each should be enough, but maybe not for Amber :)

Oh dear - here I am telling Playtex that he should be coming to the Xmas bash and I'm under intense pressure to attend day-jobbie - and I'm talking big-jobbie - things on the number 2 of December.
Will let you know tomorrow - lots of twisting and turning - but, if it were a cable position I don't think I'd be going long :((((((
Sorry guys - but I'll let you know by end of play tomorrow/early Thursday.

Anyway, looking forward to getting together with you southerners again,
should be a good laugh,
Bully are you rushing off home afterwards like a good little boy, or staying on late for the drunken antics to start,
i remember Big Al, the last time we went to xmas do, i was amazed he even remembered the name of his hotel, never mind finding his way back there:-)
Do you remember Big Al , i recall you chatting up a pretty red head , that in itself is understandable, but the fact her boyfriend was sat with her was a bit forward:-)

Big Al, you missed out at Guildford. I saw first-hand what Amber does with a size 8 ball. If it's straight at your middle pin you want, you may well have a surprise in store!
PS Just back today on the Eurostar (highly impressed with the service) from Paris. Played the French gamblers in a 1,000 poker tourney at the Aviation Club. What a fine establishment. Finished around 50th out of 163 after my AK failed to stand up (not an age-related condition I hasten to add) so no Euros won. Good fun though.

Ruth - 05 Dec 2003 12:51 - 269 of 323
Afternoon all,right got to confess to my sins, im not at home,
its not my daughters Xmas play till wed and thurs next week,
its all been a big decoy,cause if Bully thought i was coming to London
he would have known and prepared for me,as he knows i would
have done something to pay him back for all the jokes etc,
so smart as he is, hes not as sharp as he should be ,cause ive had people posting
under my name all morning so he doesnt notice me missing from the thread,
as i set off for London with the north west lot
at 6-30am this morning,:-)
so what has ruthy got planned, well my brother is going to post this just
as soon as ive confirmed im outside the pub with the 25 stone topless roly -poly
kissogramm,that way no one can ring him and tip him off,before she pounces on him,
well you know me, real silly sense of humour,but getting one over on my hero bully
well nothing compares to that, see Bully, theres clever and streetwise,and you might
be clever, but your not as devious as me:-)
so when this is posted i will be pissing my sides, and Bully will be gutted,
dont think the kissogramm getting her baps out will bother him, its me getting the upper hand
in our practical jokes,
in all seriousness, i know Mike will see the funny side, some posters might not, but hey its xmas,
ive told the roly poly, not to undress bully, as thats probably to far on this occasion,
so shes just going to put him on the floor and climb on top of him and roll on him a few times,
sat here laughing as i type this, i just never grew up,
so thats all ive got to say for now, will be videoing and putting on here as soon as poss,
so Bully, you might have won the rugby, but the current score is
RUTH 1 Bully 0
however , i do expect revenge, and deserve it, but make it a good un,
cause im always prepared to go one worse
oh and liking my food so much, obviously i was not going to miss out on the nosh,
so we posted under a decoy name last week my food selection,
apart from this bit of naughtiness , im looking forward to the rest of the day, and the fun that brings.
Looking forward to meeting the posters that i havnt met before, and just the general atmosphere.
so on that note, i wish u all a happy trading afternoon,and be good and if u cant be good be carefull:-)

Great, I MAY have a chance of getting there on time now i have a chaperone!(NOT the older type i hasten to add). Was contemplating coming up tonite as getting up at 11.00 doesnt leave much time for travelling :>)
Guv, "finding room for a late one", We didnt find that much room, I've told you where you'll be sitting!! Ask AND nicely....blimey that's a tall order..I'll try!

Back home after leaving at a sensible time. Great event! Where do I start?
Good to meet the regulars; firstly Bullie, The Count, Amberjane, Big Al and The Guvnor for the "earnest" discussion at the dinner table. Not sure we got to the bottom of that but at least we know some people don't like it up 'em!
Also good to meet Gausie, Choccie, MG, Greystone and Stormcaller again. All on fine form as usual. edit: Not forgetting Jules and the Dynamities!
Also on fine form was Big Al - pleased to meet up at last. I'll be calling you Rubberman from now on, Al. I've never seen someone sway so much without moving their feet, yet stay standing. Not sure you'll remember what you were saying but it was fun :)
Look forward to the next one!!

It is the morning after the night after the day before. Currently in LHR waiting for transport north. Head in good condition surprisingly. Was up and at 'em by 7:30, which was amazing!
Brilliant to meet everyone, some again and others new. Was particularly pleased to see the Ozzie babe looking great. Also pleased to see my chaperones of 2 years ago turned up, but they were not needed. ;-))
I didn't last the whole night out - I know when my drink meter says "ENOUGH!!" It would've been highly embarrassing to have fallen over, Bones.

Good to see you all had a good do,Sounds like it was a good meet,
Big Al, you werent pissed by any chance was you?:-)
well i can spill the beans now, the reason i couldnt come was because shoguns missus rang me up 2 weeks ago to tell me she was organising a surprise 40th bithday do for him, when i checked the diary it was the same day as the xmas do,
Shogun at that time hadnt even remembered it was his birthday, and he hadnt even told his other half he was going to London for the day, so i had to try and make sure he stayed here in Manchester on the Friday, but away from his own house as the prerations were taking place.
Well he did realise it was his birthday when he went back on the thread and took a closer look at the date, we thought for a minute he had sussed us out, but he didnt have a clue and was shocked on his return home last night to a surprise 40th do,
I was very ill yesterday and had to leave his party after an hour or so, so theres no way i could have travelled down to London anyway,even if it hadnt been his birthday an we were stil booked in,
But we will be there next year, unless someone else is 40 and keeping it secret from his/her fellow traders.:-)

THE COUNT--->ALL
Thanks to all at Money AM for arranging a great get together once again....it had been a while since I have personally met up with other investors at Christmas...and it served to remind me what fun I have missed out on in recent years. Good to see both old investing friends of mine along with new ones too.
I have only just got in front of my PC since Friday to type up this post.
Alan, you know what they say....my fangs feast on Jungfrau blood when the sun goes down...it's supposed to keep me young for eternity...well, I hope for a few years longer at least!!!!! :-) Well, that's what Martini told me when he re-created me as the Prince of Darkness.
Mind you, neither you nor Martini nor Mike have changed much in the years I've known you either. Perhaps you are all on the same diet. But aren't these virgins getting hard to find and feast upon nowadays?
Hope everyone got back home OK as they planned and didn't end up 'roughing it' at places like New street station in the early hours. :-)
Thanks again to all for a really good time. I can't wait till the next one. I'm missing the banter and the company already.
Keep well and have a great Christmas.
Regards,
THE COUNT!

Hi everyone. I really enjoyed my day (and night) out. So nice to meet old friends and new. Did not sleep thro my stop this year because I overnighted at hotel round corner. Greystone escorted me back. Had a "Health day" on Saturday and defeated the Captain and pro in an epic game of golf on sunday. I missed most of bullies earnest discussion, fortunately.

Very very sorry to have missed it and the meet up with old friends. Been a tough weekend for me, 2 nights hotel, dinner and 2 shows! Although my wife did take a friend to one show (Rat Pack) and the hotel did charge just one night expence, so it could have been worse!
I still feel 'under the weather', cough etc, but improving slowly. I'll make it next year....even if it kills me. :)

Afternoon all. Been putting life back together and buying up the world. ;-))
Been trying to remember Friday - you guessed it, Ruthy, I was quite far gone. Last time it was mg's fault, this time theguvnor's. Whoever put me and him at the end of the table with all the wine was nuts. Please seperate us in future! ;-)) Mind you, I did get a text from my son saying he'd got an unconditional acceptance for university this year, so that probably didn't help either.
I've a big blank from about 4pm in the restaurant to about 10pm in another having steak and chips. After that I do remember calling it a day and making it back to the hotel. Also a few quick glimpses of the bar in between, particularly seeing Angela and her man, but that's it.
Oh, don't remember checking into hotel either!
Got a feeling I may have been boisterous in the extreme. Apologies to those who didn't need it!!
Anyway, brilliant to meet one and all!

Shorts? Armagnac cannot be dismissed as a mere "short". I think I remember 2 doubles. These were undoubtedly my downfall and my apologies for you having to live next door through it all! ;-))

But then there's nothing that I can't remember. Is there?

A good time had by all I think...especially me. Next time Big Al wants to reduce the European red wine lake, can he enlist someone else other than me to help him. Maybe we could have a rota as mg and me have already done our bit. Any volunteers?
Also, Di no need to rush yourself with the photo's .............. I know you are very busy throughout the day so we all understand if somehow you don't get round to it for a while...........!
Thanks to Ian for arranging the festivities, and to all of you who made it an memorable and enjoyable occasion.

Bit of a problem getting access since the bash, PC's playing up (again..:-( ), so a bit late getting here.
I wanted to thank AM guys for the great day, took the opportunity to meet a couple of the back-room staff which added to the day.
Also met a few "faces" for the first time, including the legend Martini, also Gausie, Big Al, (finally..:-) ) and Kayak!
Special thanks must go to Dynamite for putting up with me through the meal...:-))
Also found time to meet old friends, so all-in-all a great day......
I must say though, the highlight is saved until last, partly because it was such a lovely surprise, finally met Jules, and I hadn't been aware she would attend, marvellous...:-)))
Thank you to everyone who made it such a good day!!
