Any punters living in Birmingham Area interested in a Pie, Pint and jaw, one evening in a pub in Birmingham area.
Personally interested in small time investing(gambling), developing an appetite for CFDs. Also developing an interest in Charting or TA.

I use Sharescope, Moneyam, Barclays, Comdirect and IC

Wheels at risk or the whole lot. Better check the policy, then............

Never had this trouble In Brick Lane as I remember...... mind you that was a few years back now.

I might pay somebody to take my car away. Before I buy a new car the old one has to fall apart.

Juat to say that tonight on C4 at 8pm the River Cottage fella will be stopping off In Birmingham where he looks for a definitive recipe for curried goat!.....Ladypool Road perhaps? :)-

Baa!!

Wrong continent Stan - for curried goat he'll be going to Handsworth/Lozells - generally a Caribbean dish. Thereagain, there's a tasty Caribbean restaurant on Bristol St. - not that far to walk - just a bit further than the Chinese Quarter.

Good to see a few Brummies on this thread. Can't get my head around you looking for a chinese though - Brum is the Balti capital of the world !!! Would suggest the one I go to most Fridays but it's a bit out in the sticks for you city centre types.

Punjab Paradise good choice - out in the Balti Qurter - but you'll need transport from the Anchor. If not there are at least another 50 to choose from - Ladypool Road/Stoney Lane ;) Up-market is Royal Al-Faisals - but not as good IMHO as most of the rest.

Some posh gits around here as well - Shimla Pinks is for corporate bank accounts and not "proper" balti - no flock wall paper and plastic tables/tablecloths.

Best food/value are the Bangladeshi balti houses - need to search them out - as most/many in the Balti Quarter are Pakistani.

Get Andy Munroe's Balti Guide - about the 10th edition by now - got my own signed first edition 'cos I used to be part of his "testing crew" back in the 80s - before he went all posh and quoted in the Sunday colour supplements.

mg,

Fred began by looking for a Balti. He's scoured the W. Midlands. He's tried all the alternatives. Down to just a lack of focus I think. Something to do with the maidens in Small Heath? Mebbe they frighten him off......

I have found 3 goood ones!!!!

Telephone numbers???

The way were going gonna be lucky to get a bag of chips out of this one.

1st one to get near a library or Smiths take up MG's suggestion about having a gander at that Andy Munroe's B.G....failing that bring our own take away with us.

brum is brill for baltis, city cracking for chinese and carribean. also been to the carribean on the bristol road and very nice to, but not cheap also compact and bajue (however u spell it).

Never fear Fred will fix it? I am just negociating my percentage at the moment.

This Is Exellent news Fred ...no point In paying more then we have to :-)

Ian, Remember it is Wednesday 14th December at 4.30 pm at the Anchor and we can move on from there after a natter

All set for the jolly up then lads?

Aye.

Hope you got home OK. Pleasant evening . Some advantages to alocohol free dining. At least if you get lost your sober. Talking about BRW last night found I had been stopped out with profit of 50%.

Home safe and sound thanks Fred,

50% profit "banked", now thats what I like to here.......can't beat It.

As was said (restaurant without license gives us options) maybe a good format for future meets Instead of pub.

1st Balti most pleasant, mind you a bit pricey at 32.............. 10 quid each including sweet

Last of the big spenders?... you bet -:)

where did go for your balti men??? and was it nice. Forgot to mention they are nearly all ''take your own''

It was called the "Plaza" Kivv and we were the only one's In there at 1st ( and only 1 couple when we left) we chose that one because the other two had no menu In the window and we couldn't be bothered to go Inside and ask.

I thought the food was good, and the waiter was slightly" Basil Faulty" which added to the night.

Overall I thought It was good value and enjoyed the evening, also there Is a good little parking bay (room for about 20 cars right on the street) so good for security on the night.

If your free next month how about joining us? I'm going to check the public transport situation for options.
