Gaucho in Richmond, 1st Feb. - Everyone welcome

[GloriaInEleusis]

Following on from this thread, I thought we needed a more specific title.

have had a temperature and been asleep since Sun pm

Feeling a bit better today so hope will be ok for Fri

Sounds awful Poor you.

Hi CD hope you get better in time. We can ask for raw steak if that will help you

Bar Estilo is on Richmond Bridge, 3 mins stagger walk to Gaucho - if I've got the right restaurant - which is on the towpath just down from Richmond Bridge.

btw my friend went last weekend and loved the food.

and - becauseimworth it ... I like your thinking

Sav blanc all round then?

Sav blanc all round then?

well if I do come I will be blinking black and blue

So clearly the drinks are on me as I had to post twice.

And I'll easily be able to recognise CD as I'll just look for the blue woman who is moving very carefully.

CD, I'm sure you look lovely in black and blue.

Are you still home sick tomorrow?

CD - I hear blue is the new black, so you are just being trendy.

Seems an extreme way of getting fashionable.

So, is everyone happy with House then? I have to put a deposit down so if anyone whose name is below does not show, I don't want to have to pay for your absense.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me if you are not coming.

Okay, the fine print says I have to pay for anyone who does not show up, and at £38 per head I am not prepared to do that, especially with CD possibly not well enough to come and I haven't seen or heard from Quint, Magnolia or Bubble in a few days. So I'm going to drop the reservation down to 8.

I hope this is ok with everyone. But I have to make a choice and if two people don't show I'll be out £70 and sorry but that's not a risk I want to take.

Maybe we should reconfirm again.

With 8 there is no charge for a no show. So that why I picked that number. And if two more people show up wanting to give them money I can't believe they will turn them away.

CD, if you are well enough OF COURSE come and join us. I don't want anyone to think they aren't welcome.

I have now heard from BUBBLE who is coming.

Oops... I seem to have deleted Jura.

CD: I love that word 'arse'. I use it all the time and realise I sound like Father Jack (from Father Ted!). Sorry you're feeling poorly.

BecauseImworthit: I'm the opposite of Claudi Schiffer (more like Dawn French merged with Dame Judi Dench). Will be at bar wearing brown coat and green top.

Ele: I CAN'T belive you are not joining us for a pre-dinner drink. I'm concerned about your standards m'girl. Clearly I haven't lead you astray enough!

Oh, and I'm coming for drinks if I get out of work in time...

probably not coming if CD isn't.

saddo that i am....

Oh bugger. Why not?

I'm sure we would have a nice time talking about her.
