MoneyAM Xmas Lunch - Friday 2nd December 2005 (XMAS)     

Bullshare - 23 Sep 2005 13:23

It's that time of year once again (doesn't time fly), and here is a chance for all you users to get to meet and greet each other over some food and a few drinks.

So here are the details:

Friday 2nd December 2005

12.00 (midday): All Bar One, 26-30 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 2SZ

Nice bar with plenty of space and a very short stagger to the restaurant. Easy to get to as it is just outside London Bridge Station.

13.00 (1.00pm): Georgetown Restaurant, 10 London Bridge Street, London SE1 9SG Tel: 020 7357 7359

The award winning Georgetown restaurant brings the varied and exquisite cuisines of the Malaysian Malays, Mandarin Chinese and Tamil Indians under one roof - all served in a regal house style with crystal cut glass and fine bone china.( well thats what the brochure says!)

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.

Bob

rayrac - 05 Dec 2005 14:09 - 258 of 334

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. :)

Big Al - 05 Dec 2005 14:41 - 259 of 334

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!

Dynamite - 05 Dec 2005 14:46 - 260 of 334

Hi,
A great days entertainment and Big Al was doing alot of the entertaining! The photos should be arriving on here to prove it.
Thanks for all the advice over the year Big Al ...you were not at alll like I expected you to be!! :-)
It was great to put a great many faces to names in particular, Jules, Bob Colby, Martini, Stormcaller, Big Al and Andy.
Di

The Count - 05 Dec 2005 14:46 - 261 of 334

THE COUNT--->BIG AL

Boisterous in the extreme....you...never! A pain in the butt to someone perhaps, but apart from that, you were a star on the day. Do you remember some of those shorts you were ordering at the restaurant?

Anyway, good to meet you.

Regards,

THE COUNT!

Big Al - 05 Dec 2005 20:35 - 262 of 334

BIG AL--->THE COUNT

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! ;-))

Brilliant to have finally met you. Must admit you gave me a bit of a trading fillip I've been missing for some time. My sincere thanks.

Regards,

BIG AL!

amberjane - 05 Dec 2005 21:05 - 263 of 334

The Count - Very good but somehow I dont think Big Al can remember.....as it seems you have your apology.....but dont worry - just back from outpatients after the tetanus!!

Big Al - 05 Dec 2005 21:30 - 264 of 334

Ooops!

Mail me Amber?

chocolat - 05 Dec 2005 21:35 - 265 of 334

There anything else you might have forgotten BigA? ;)

amberjane - 05 Dec 2005 21:41 - 266 of 334

I'll send two emails in case :>))

Big Al - 05 Dec 2005 21:53 - 267 of 334

Sounds like enough for a whole new thread. Oh dear!

Big Al - 05 Dec 2005 22:22 - 268 of 334

It's confirmed. Big Al is a cannibal.

I'm gonna pay for this one.

Next - you got another skeleton Choccy? ;-)

Kayak - 05 Dec 2005 22:39 - 269 of 334

Well I must admit I was pretty drunk at one stage but it was all because of the not one, not two, but three Singapore slings that Stormcaller and Mrs Dynamite forced me to drink!

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

theguvnor - 05 Dec 2005 23:48 - 270 of 334

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.

Kev.

amberjane - 05 Dec 2005 23:52 - 271 of 334

Well K that depends, your strip tease at the 2nd restaurant was pretty impressive and paying the whole bill including all Martinis puddings was even more impressive and then after you entered the club and paid for all the extras there and..........................well I guess not then if you remember all that :>)

STORMCALLER - 06 Dec 2005 00:05 - 272 of 334

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!!

Regards

SC


amberjane - 06 Dec 2005 00:06 - 273 of 334

Kevin!! What are you saying?? ' a memorable occasion'. You lost your accountable memory even before Big Al, at around 3.00ish

theguvnor - 06 Dec 2005 01:06 - 274 of 334

Amber, loss of accountable memory is a time honoured legal defence, used by many a miscreant when in front of m'lud.............or even worse the missus!

amberjane - 06 Dec 2005 10:49 - 275 of 334
