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.

This is true, going for the hat-trick next time.

Couple of 2 hour lunches in there I see...wouldn't be liguid would they?

Stop Press.

Carl Chinn talking about Birmingham now on R4.

Information for our Mid-Winter break Meal.

I will list and come back to this post to up date some choices available to us.

1. The Ochid: http://thaiorchidbanbury.co.uk/index2.php
I emailed them and was told that their Banbury menu was similar to the Birmingham outlet. 5 minute walk from New St, Station.

2. The Barton Arms: http://www.oakhamales.com/BAthaifood.asp?m_nid=3649
5 minute bus (33) ride from Birmingham centre.

3. The Warehouse Cafe: http://www.thewarehousecafe.com
10 minute walk from New St.Station.

No alcohol available at the cafe so might want to go somewhere else before hand.

>Couple of 2 hour lunches in there I see...

Can't cope with 2 hour lunches nowadays .... have to xtend it to three hours...

I'd be happy with Barton Arms..... would have thought that was also the easiest parking or drop-off / pick-up for Fred .... but I'll go with flow.... (wouldn't say there's a lot of difference between authenticity of Thai food at Barton or Orchid).

I would be happy any venue. Whether I can make it not entirely sure. Did you receive Email from Martin earlier wanting to meet up sometime?

No, who's Martin?

What are peoples feelings regarding time of day, mid-dayish or early evening?
Prefer mid- dayish myself but will also go with the flow.

Eh? Banbury a 5 minute walk from New Street station? Jeez, a champion sprinter methinks...................

Wasn't Martin at the Bartons last time?

Wasn't that Martini?

Ah, close though!!!

Or maybe not. Oh well, back to the prices pages. Decided what to spend your booze voucher on? You must be the first person to have sat in the leading position for several days in a row. They should double the value for that.

Stan you are right. Twice stirred.

Welcome Martin,

Punch a line in on this thread sometime and join us at any meeting.

The Warehouse Cafe website is available now back at Post 752 if you want to have a gander.

I see Winson Green even gets a mention in the Bangkok Post:

'Prison bosses in Britain have ordered warders to address inmates by their first names and knock politely on the door before entering cells.
The move follows a government report aiming to improve the ''quality of life'' of convicted criminals.
The ''decency agenda'' is already in place at Birmingham's Winson Green Prison where the more than 1,400 inmates include murderers, rapists and robbers. '

..Which is more then the Bangkokpost gets, link won't work Chris -):

perhaps my fault .... re done it .... and works for me now ....

PS: Forgot to mention this part later in the article (which was also why I posted it).

'British men spend the equivalent of one day every year queueing at bars for a pint, a survey reveals.
The average drinker waits two hours each month in pubs and clubs _ treble the time women have to wait.
Londoners are worst hit, working up a thirst for 46 days in a lifetime.
George Workman, of rent-a-keg.com which carried out the poll, said: ''It's staggering to find out how long people are forced to queue.''

Bangkokpost ...Wouldn't be a red top would it? -):
