Mr Charts

A WHOLE w/e in London ugh - no thanks

 

[Mr. Charts]

"A man who is tired of London........" or something ;-)

 

[FTSE Beater]

oh dear - that means I'm tired of life

ah well

<hr>
Hi Sharky

I for one am looking forward to it

 

[orchard]

Cheer up Mark, you still have time to escape.

Good thing I am not tired of life - being female (Got you Mr Charts).

 

[Mr. Charts]

You win, orchard ;-)
Well I like Fleetwood. Or is it Fleetwood Mac I like?
ftse-b, no way, you just haven't been to the best places, the doormen think you're not old enough to get in ;-)

 

[FTSE Beater]

LOL Mr.C

As a side thought, Sharky please make sure where ever we go, that they let in under 25's. Otherwise the pair of us won't be able to get in, let alone the other youngsters that will no doubt be coming

 

[Sharky]

So far we've had about 16 people request a tickert and that includes their partners/friends. If we can get another 5/10 people then great. We've even got rossored and his partner coming all the way over from Toronto!

If you would like to come along to the Xmas party please send me an email to [email protected] with your username and let me know how many tickets you would like. Partners/friends are invited too.

 

[rossored]

So is the Xmas party actually on or off at this stage? I ask because I now have an alternative invite for the same night and as far as I know, nothing has been posted to say it is on/off....

I know Sharky is on hols this week so I'm not anticipating a reply from him just yet...

 

[FTSE Beater]

Hi Rossored

I spoke to Sharky before he went away and he was putting the finishing touches to the venue. I'm 90% sure it's going ahead, but as your travelling slightly further away I wouldn't like to give my complete assurance.

You have to ask yourself, would you take a trade based on a 90% win ratio with the risk being losing a plane ticket (x2?) and the reward being an evening with us :?:

I would wait until Sharky gets back, just in case.

 

[rossored]

Well no offence but I'm not coming back - however briefly - just for the T2W party!!!!

I shall only be coming from the Cambridge area so I guess I can wait a few more days....tsk!!!

 

[Sharky]

I can confirm that the T2W Xmas Party is going ahead as planned on Saturday, 13th December. Thanks to Richard Joyson, for suggesting the venue.

I suggest that those wanting to wet their appetitie with a couple of drinks meet up earlier at a nearby bar/pub at about 7:00pm. If anyone know somewhere conveniently close to the restaurant please let me know, otherwise I'll find somewhere suitable later this week.

 

[CityTrader]

Love to attend in London, ( or Watford!!) but can't do weekends.... ( nor Mondays- poker night)

 

[ChartMan]

Yes, Me and Carol.

 

[Sharky]

Okay, sorted out somewhere to meet beforehand for those wishing to wet their appetite.

I suggest we meet at 6:30/7 in The Chandos, it's an old fashioned pub on St.Martins Lane, and near to the restaurant. I'll make sure I'm there at 6:30 to welcome you all! In case you don't know who I am, check out the photo in my profile - I'm the one on the left. :cheesy:

Here's the pub:

[Mr. Charts]
