Indian food anyone?
- 7 January 2010 00:3436644I was singing the praises of my local Indian restaurant at Whitfield in front of Paul and we suggested that we could meet there. Subsequent discussions have developed into making my birthday party into a more open invitation thus..
I arent offering to pay for you all but have negotiated a price of £15 each for 2 courses for up to 30 people on Saturday 30th January, 7pm and will make a personal contribution to the drinks. Already we have 10 places booked. If you want to come please email me ASAP with your commitment so I can give final numbers by 20th January. First come, first served.
Presents not needed but I would appreciate a nearby hospital!

grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 10 January 2010 23:0237163Hi Ian, the 30th January is still on and we have added you to the list. Also, now looking forward to the cruise from PaulB!
- 10 January 2010 23:0537164Jump off the cloud and land on a slushy pavement David and put your Bermudas away.
See you there Boss.grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet. - 31 January 2010 10:5439199Well it was a very good night up there at The Raj Mahal last night. Excellent turnout of forumites and indeed councillors, mayors, ex mayors, and so on, all sitting down to a fine Indian meal at modest cost. I had never been in the restaurant before so it was great to go there. It was of course Big Dave's 64th birthday but dont tell anyone ..but note that he is even older than me...although Im catching up fast. The food was great and the wine was flowing...Big Dave himself paid for all the wine so we all had quite a few jars. It must have been a hell of a bill as there were quite a few people there..a throng in fact. Surprisingly I didnt have a hangover this morning so I must have reined myself in somewhat..this reining in must have happened subconsciously as a mark of respect for David's wallett.
We took some pictures so will show these in a day or so. This was probably Januarys best social occasion...such a bleak oul january, so it was good to have an evening of high cheer.
email: dover7@msn.com - 31 January 2010 17:0639239It was indeed Paul.
Jean and I enjoyed ourselves and the food too of course.
One of the very good things about the food, whatever dish it was, was that it wasn't floating in oil, like so many usually are.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow David - and thank you.
Roger - 1 February 2010 08:1639294Thank you Paul and everyone who came - more than 30 ! - I have had a lovely weekend with celebrations yesterday at Deal so I haven't had to cook at all. Thank you for the bottles which I shall enjoy at leisure but more super was the fun of so many friends having a great time. It was Mega..
Next up is 3rd July if thats carnival day M? - 1 February 2010 11:5339312A nice evening was had in fine company, with excellent indian cuisine and flowing wine. Happy Birthday for today David, 'when I get older, losing my hair when I'm ....' Thanks again, looking forward to seeing the pictures
- 1 February 2010 21:3039367Happy birthday David from all your fans in Lagos. Well, me actually.
Roger, that isn't oil old chum, it's ghee which is clarified butter methinks. - 1 February 2010 22:2839384Thanks Sid
Good to hear from you
D - 2 February 2010 08:1339402Pictures coming today on the frontpage so watch for those. We havent done one of our 'social pages' for a while but coming right up soon. Some of the 'oul stagers' ie long term type forumites, had a very nice time at the event.
