Monie

One from each section.............one starter, main course and desert.

 

No, it isn't a huge choice............but to be honest in central London nothing is going to be cheap. I certainly think it is worth looking at a couple of others.....any suggestions? It would be really good if we could get somewhere with a seperate room but I guess on a saturday it may be unlikely

I finally understand how to read the menu, it turns out that there are some choiches. I think it's time for me to go to bed .

I think it's a good idea though to look at some other restaurants as well, if this one turns out to be the best one we can return to this one.

Thank you Kath, for all the trouble you have gone through! Do you know if one has got to take the whole menu or can order just a few things from the menu? It would be a shame, for example, if I had to take the whole menu while I only can eat a few things from it, being a veggie. I know a lot of people are enthousiastic about this restaurant but is it possible to check another one also? I don't consider the choice very large here and it's not much cheaper then an everage restaurant I think. A private room would have been wonderful though, it's a shame one can't hire them on Saturdays.

I still eat fish, but a vegetarian option would be nice.

Yes, some veggies do eat fish, some don't, I don't (and I would love to eat something more than just an egg ). I have no answer from the restaurant yet.

O sounds nice!!!

Erm...I wanna come, but I hardly now anyone besides the Dutchies?

Neither do I (I don't even know the other Dutchies). But I figure we will get to know each other quite quickly with a party like this one .

 

Btw, there is a really cool restaurant in Covent Garden that has MASSIVE long tables that I reckon would host us all...maybe we could look at booking one (mind you, this would ahve to be done soonish I guess as they are very popular for Xmas parties and they get booked out early).

 

It's called Belgo Centraal.

I say it's a great possibility!

The large tables sound great, I send them (the restaurant, not the tables ) an email to ask if they have good vegetarian food as well. As I recall I'm not the only vegetarian, who's the other one, Silver I think? I'll let you know if there's an answer.

35 pounds per person sounds good. Since I don't know London at all I let you all decide which Travelodge is the best. It would be nice if everyone could stay at the same one but if that's not possible it's not really a problem if we stay in different lodges I suppose, since there's no conference room anyway and we will have to do our conferences in the restaurant or a bar or something .

Ah, ç'est pour ça!

Normmaly you would think feminin would be marrone but with marron its not. This is a very educational forum !

Grüezi mittenand! 10 1/2 den, i bin a halbie schwiezerin . Emerald, your German is good! Violetsky, chonsch au zum Xmas party in London? Cheu me Schwiizerdütsch redde .

Anyone been able to make a phone call yet?

I am a definite - circumstances could change that - but in my

mind I am "there"

That's a good start. Hopefully you will be "there" completely, when the time has come .

I am fine thanks Andi - shame you can't come in November

I was a no, then a maybe, now a yes, but may go back to a maybe -

not sure But I am probably a probably!!!

You are already a yes on the RSVP list .

Ha ha lol. Yeah, it's sometimes a bit random. Here are some common verbs:

 

Nous avons été

Nous avons eu

Nous sommes allés

Nous sommes restés

Nous sommes sortis/rentrés

Nous avons mangé/bu

Nous avons marché

Nous nous sommes levés/assis

Nous avons commencé/fini

...

Merci! In Dutch we say nous sommes été (wij zijn geweest). The rest is similar with Dutch (exept for nous nous sommes levés/assis, we say nous sommes levés/assis). In French that's means something else.

1) This thing is fancy dress now? Noooo! Are we talking seasonal outfits or true mfc tom-foolery?

2) Wendy stop coaxing people into thinking mika will come, lol, thats worse than telling kids santa isnt real....wait....thats actually fun....never mind.

3) Kata if your drinking im staying away, your hard enough to deal with sober, let alone within grasp of FD and alcohol. I'll put the met. on speed dial just incase.

I think some people will come fancy dress, some people won't.

I think it's a good thing Mika won't be there. If he were I would be a little distracted and I wouldn't be the only one . Now I can focus on you all, that's the reason why I want to come, to see you IRL and to party with you:yay:! But hey, if Mika would insist on coming I wouldn't be the one to stop him .

hi Kath i'm really good thanks... and you?

I'm still here most of the time..even if i'm not as prolific posting:naughty: I like to at least try and keep up....although it can be hard... I went on hols for 2 weeks... 57000+ posts when i came back:shocked:

I would love to make this meet up.. but unfortunately i won't be able to get... but I hope you all have a blast... and keep Freddie away from your skirts... he has a bit of a thing for them:roftl:

I will not let him get near my beautiful but way to expensive new skirt!

So you speak French and Swiss-German? wow, lucky you:wink2:

Well speak, speak. My Swiss-German is better then my French I must confess. My grandparents didn't speak Dutch so as a child, every time we were in Switzerland I had to speak Swiss-German with them. When you are a child you learn a foreign language quickly. It's a shame no one spoke French with me when I was a child .

Ich verstah emel alles Ich chume us Zug, also ide Mitti vode Schwiiz

Das isch ebbe am wichtigste, das me cha versta was i schribe . Ah, Zug, i chenne de nahme.

 

Its Christmas fancy dress , you will be fine

 

I cant imagine another party like Leeds again , we got banned from the Mika gig for being tooooo drunk !! <how dare they!!> , it was a release

 

Really! What did I sign up for in November.

Would love to see the pictures of that party though . I hardly drink, so I won't be much fun drinkingwise, but I do dance, wildly, if requested .

Ive never ever seen a room as bad as leeds you know!! , I mean imagine me waking up to that

 

I still dont have answers to several thing ... why was I covered in crayons , why was my bed drenched in vodka etc etc:roftl:

 

AND!! wearing a pink skirt !!! .. was that yours???

. Maybe I should not wear my expensive new skirt. Maybe I will just wear something old for this occasion.

Starrats, you can travel with me if you want and I am sure we can get Ingie and Blue to come as well, it's not november yet.

So, 1 Dutchie who is sure she will come (unless I am having an extreme flue or something but let's not talk about that), althought technically, I am just half Dutch. So: a half Dutchie is coming anyway !

dönt uf jede Fall guet dis Schwiizerdütsch !! Ich liebe Holland hed mega cooli lüüt dete

Dankge . Its luestig fu mi Schwiizerdütsch lese, schriebe tue i fonetisch . Schribe han i no nie gmacht. Mine schwester wöhnt i'm Franzöischem part vo de Schwiiz, mine mueter chohnt vo Bern.

Oh, chouette, j'aime la plage!! Les vacances, c'est aussi fait pour ne rien faire:wink2: (holidays are also for doing nothing).

 

You would say "nous sommes restés quelques jours"; state verbs need the "être" auxiliary, like "être" "rester" "demeurer", ...:thumb_yello:I know, it's complicated!

Every time I say avons it should be sommes and the other way around . I have got the solution: every time I want to write avons I will write sommes and the other way around.

Je crois que je sais ce que c'est. C'est un peu comme de l'aérobic?

Qu'as-tu fait pendant tes vacances?

 

I will correct some of your errors, since I am the teacher haha. So, you would say "Je vais bien", "je suis professeur de sport", without the "un", "quelques leçons ont commencé" et "toutes mes leçons vont commencer". Mais sinon, c'est bien, bravo! (but otherwise, it's good, bravo!).

 

 

Added:thumb_yello:

Thank you for correcting my errors, I'm glad if you do!

Oui, Pilates et Body Balance est un peu comme de l'aerobic, mais plus tranquille . Ç'est dure aussi mais different.

Moi, je n'ai fais pas beaucoup dans mes vacances, j'ai travaillé un peu et nous avons restés quelques jours dans une maison tout près de la plage.

Je suis heureuse que tu va mieux! Ça serai bien de voir tes amies en hiver! Pour qoi tu hésite d'enviter Liza, l'inviter un fois par année ç'est pas trop souvent

Moi, je suis bien, merci. Je suis un professeur de sport et j'ai encore un peu de vacances (quelques leçons sont commencée, quelques pas). Je donne Pilates et Body Balance, tu connais? La semaine prochaine, tous mes leçons va commencer.

Salut Emilie, je suis bien merci. Et toi? I just saw you added another lesson in our French class . I added an animal .

Le cochon d'Inde! (guinea pig). I had one, so sweet. Unfortunately they don't get old.

Comment ça va Emilie? Et avec ta mal au coeur? Ça va mieux?

Gruezi! I bi a halbi Schweizerin, meine mutter ist Schweizerin, mein fater Hollander und ich wohne in Holland, meine schwester in die Schweiz! Das vegt, Schweizerduetsch lese, aber schriebe kann i nit.
