Northern Ireland Christmas Meet up Evening Wine No Kids Over Here Please

[bottyburpthebarbarian]

OK so giving this a thread all of its own.

We're having an evening christmas meet up.

TGI Fridays in the Victoria Centre (we think!)

No kids, loads of wine and craic.

Sign up here

Me First lol

so what date are we going for then? [loads up ical with excitement!]

Okay, just spoke to TGI's.

They are doing a set menu in December, all days still available (if you haven't been there, it's huge!). The set menu is 3 courses for £17.95, includes appetizer platter per 4 people, choice of chicken/steak/Jack Daniels Grill/Fajitas/and something I can't read my handwriting on and then pudding.

OR

We can just book a table for however many of us there are, and not do their set menu. They aren't doing specific nights with special entertainment or anything, like other places do. So then we could just do drinks and appetizers if we wanted, which might be cheaper in the long run?

What does everyone think and what day do we want to do?

Love it - like the set menu idea but maybe that's just because I missed lunch!

I personally think the 17th is a bit too close to Christmas and that when it comes to the day, more people would be likely to have to back out for kids/family/work/shopping reasons.

How about the 3rd or 4th?

sounds great tee. set menu sounds lovely but i dont care either way. i think earlier in the month will be better for me babysitter wise so i vote for earlier.

I'm fine with the set menu as well. Of course the £17.95 includes no booze!

Let's give everyone another day or so to respond. I'm actually going to be at Victoria Square on Thursday, so I can pick up a brochure maybe and see what the thing is that I can't read my handwriting on! And I forgot to find out if they need a deposit!

i'll be there regardless!!!!

Sounds cool. I too would prefer an earlier date if that's possible.

Hi! Count me in. Am loving the sound of the set menu too. Could do either 3rd or 4th but 4th would be better.

Okay, here's what I am hearing: -

4th December best date for all.

Set menu preferred.

Deffo going:

Tee
Dione
Bishoplyn
Botty
booyhoo
dingdong
LMSS
TLC
WKMS

So that's 8 for sure.

I'll give everyone until Friday, and keep bumping chat shout out. I may need money for a deposit, but if its not too much I can cover and people can pay me back. Once I have more definite numbers I'll ring and book.

Ooohhh...what time?!?! 6? 7?

Wohooo!! That's 9!!!

::ponders designing name tags::

tee, will you be bringing your plaid blanket?

Maybe I'll make a dress out of it for the occasion, Booyhoo!

excellent idea. plaid is due a revival.

We are the rebels at the gates Crispy!!

I think I will turn up in a very short tartan skirt, black tights, and thigh boots.

Or maybe not!!

Crispy - that would not be a wise move. I am The Scarlet Woman you know!!

i have a tinfoil thermal blanket. what shoes should i wear with it?

Boo - you need to ask Bishoplyn. She Will Know.

and will probably have them already

should i post on style and beauty?

I double dare you

oh you are naughty, you are. i have to go out in 5 minutes. would it be terribly bold to post and run?

post and duck you mean

PMSL

these shoes!!

these would be perfect with that thermal blanket!!

We are all going to cut a real dash striding through the Victoria Centre
