We have two members, so can book two tables - which is what we now need to do since we are more than 8.flash_uk wrote:Thanks Alex. I will also have a +1. I don't know who that is yet. Maybe I'll see if I can discover someone who is a member of the O&C!
No, no, go ahead, save yourselves. Me and Andre will dress as urchins and press our noses to the glass with wonderment at the feast. Although a bit early in the year perhaps a flake of snow will twinkle in our eyelashes, stirring pity from those within.djewesbury wrote:We have two members, so can book two tables - which is what we now need to do since we are more than 8.flash_uk wrote:Thanks Alex.

No such thing. Teetering on the edge of oxymoron.AW77 wrote:...too much Dickens.
Correction noted; my apologies.djewesbury wrote:D Jewesbury's plus one is Ms Rachel Brown.

No need. We can have two tables and so can accomodate up to 16 for dinner.LGTrotter wrote:No, no, go ahead, save yourselves.

Have you done this without any prompting? Or have you been life-coached?DRT wrote:I need to reduce the number of Port nights I currently have lined up for November/December so have decided to withdraw from this.
Does anyone want to buy my ticket (£85) for Thursday 27th?
If there are no takers by the end of this week I will return it to BBR.

You are making me feel guilty. Maybe i should return mine as well...DRT wrote:My own motivation.
Yes, I think we've all been overdoing it actually.

I'm under the impression that 'the Owen question' decided DRT in favour of coming after all.Cookie wrote:Probably too late but if this is still available I would happily take it off your hands.DRT wrote:I need to reduce the number of Port nights I currently have lined up for November/December so have decided to withdraw from this.

Thank you Daniel, I shall indeed be on your's and Andre's arm should that be acceptable to you both. Julian, you need only look for the one with the glossiest coat, twinkling eyes and wet nose.
