The Brand New WEST LONDON MEET-UP THREAD - EALING, ACTON, CHISWICK, KEW, RICHMOND, ISLEWORTH, KINGSTON ETC.

[MrsBigD]

As Nanou01 has declared me group leader here's a new thread to try and arrange our next meet-up

Oldies and newbies equally welcome :)

I'm pretty free for the rest of May, bar some dentist appointments

June is very barren so any entry in my social calendar would be most welcome.

Meet without the kids any evening
Meet with the kids only weekends

When and where would whoever like to meet?

If it's a weeknight, I would suggest Chiswick (selfishly) because I can easily get there from work. Some options might be Giraffe or Cafe Rouge.

Although, if everyone else prefers Ealing, I'm happy to go there too.

Nanou, good luck with interview 2. What's the job? And.... uh..... what baby? Do you know something I don't?

MrsBigD... you need a new name now that you are our GL! i quite like GL ; group leader.... grand lady... gin lover... lets have a vote!
will need to check with DH and suggest some dates.

Yeah... Uwila is there something we should know?

GinLady?!? Nanou I'm a Vodka guzzler and your new name for today is LaFilleMechante! huge

Chiswick and Ealing are both fine for me. Naturally Ealing preferred as closer but I've made it to Kingston I'll make it anywhere!

There better not be! Shop closed... forever. (unless I win the lottery).

shop's closed eh? LOL I said similar to the doc this morning when she asked me whether I could be pg LOL

sorry ladies.... LaCow spoke to fast... meant i can't remember whom now? is it snowboo?! give me a hammer...NOW!

chiswick is fine by me and so is ealing. job is PA to Exec Chairman. not huge company nor overly exciting but great hours and so close to home! just had a good feeling when i went. Sorry Uwila, did not mean you at all re pg! maybe not so good at multitasking after all between home life and keeping up with the west london thread! Oy MrsBigD, what do you want to be called then?!

How about GermanLeader or is that too non-pc

i think we've gone beyong the p c for today don't you?! [ grin]. ok then if you are happy so be it!

still LOLing GermanLeader! i am supposing to be job searching at the internet caf you know...

Oh, can we call you "Geschtapo" (did I spell that right?). Or Das Fuhrer?

You can be the new GF (Geschtapo Furer).

Politically incorrect I am!!!! What ya gonna do about it?!

LOL
the next dinner should be interesting!!! you ok Uwila? sorry about the mixup.

All Heil the Gestapo Führer!!!

you are aware though that that name makes you all Gestapo

Nanou.. schnell schnell back to job searching!

Can I come this time, can I, can I?

I need a wee....lol lol lol
you were faster than me... was going to respond heil but thought we might get removed by the mumsnet spies!!!!!!

Mid-late June is good for me - Tues and Thurs prefered, Chiswick prefered over Ealing (but kew prefered over everywhere else ).

now to get back to the very pc topic of going out whilst ditching kids on dh's...

I have been to the following restaurants and liked them:

Tootsies (nr. Ealing Broadway Stn)
Cafe Rouge (Ealing Broadway)
Wine & Moussaka (nr. Ealing Broadway Stn)
Mama Amalfi (Uxbridge Road near Twyford Avenue)
My Old Dutch (Ealing Broadway and hit & miss on quality and service)
Billy Joe's (Uxbridge Road towards Hanwell - hit & miss too - we were lucky though)

Always open to try new places though. :)

\link{http://www.lammas.com/food/bytype.html\a list of restaurants I found on-line}

'd better let the gestapofuhrer answer.... of course you can... but joining is at your own risk you know!!!!!

Sue of course you can come!

Nanou... you think we might be removed? Hmmm only if somebody reports this because irked about it... then again I'd be the one that would be the one possibly taking offense for the Nazi jibes... oh hold on... I started it

Wondering if there is a nice German/Austrian Restaurant in the vicinity

god she is good! quite fancy moussaka but open to suggestions!

OK so that we can finally welcome Sue to the 'fold' how about narrowing it down to the following Tuesday's and Thursdays?

15 June
20 June
22 June
27 June
29 June

Sue don't know anywhere in Chiswick or Kew so please add to the restaurant list

GF dont really know what to think on that one. i know you know we are weird creatures around west london but some people might miss the joke?!

ok here's the explanation for those who might not get the joke... I'M GERMAN and don't mind making light of my historical heritage especially as I'm 1/4 jewish ... so that should keep any potential hecklers at bay

However I did see one thing on the TV last night which I would deem 'offensive'... an add for 'Time Gentlemen' a TV comedy series I don't really like anyhow... but he declares in the add that 'nothing good ever came out of France'... now that's so non-pc... and btw I think some great things came out of France... croissants and baguettes for starters and brioche and croque monsieur
