Do we have a plan yet?  Scavenger hunt doesn't seem to have generated too much interest (though I think it would be fun!).  Is there a Chigacos in Nottingham? :)

I thought Ironmug was taking all you lot to the Karaoke

What age is classified as 'grown up'?

Anyone older than the Minors.  So 16+.

anyone who doesn't qualify for the kids night I suppose!

Find a proper Karaoke bar ... one where people get up and sing.

Other than that its DTD for a meal and some stt's

... and I'll be in the bar down the street.

We'll be there with the grown ups.  Been reading the 'kids' thread and don't think we could face football Saturday morning if we hung out with them. 

OK.  So singing and getting drunk then (not necessarily in that order)?

seems to be lots of choice for karaoke:

http://www.karaokeinfo.co.uk/venues/venuesearch.asp?VenueName=&Town=nottingham&County=&PostCode=&KJName=&Days=Friday&AndOr=1&theOrder=1&go=yes

Perhaps one of the locals could recommend a good one from the list, or at least tell us which ones to avoid!

I only know of Chambers.

Location is decent but i've never been in so can't recomend or tell you to avoid i'm afriad

chambers is a good laugh...its not the biggest bar,but very friendly

No, which is a good thing imo.

i am up for a singsong has the karoke got full access for wheelchairs?

...and more importantly, do they provide ear defenders.

can anyone confirm if Chambers is accessible?  If not, I'll contact some of the other venues.

FYP :D

shhhhh - I thought I'd sounded almost convincing there too!

My wife and I will be sampling the delights of the DTD Restaurant. If anyone wishes to join us you are more than welcome.

Because I am supposed to be playing football in the morning I will come along for a few orange juices or suchlike non alcoholic drinks  ;angel;

There goes the neighbourhood and God help our livers.   rotflmfao

I'm not certain, it is off maid marion way and is all on 1 floor, so I don't see why not. But better check with someone else.

im up for the karaoke, cant sing but will have a go.

I see a duet coming on.  I think we'll steal the show (or clear the room).

belly do me a favour


remind me i am going out with the grown ups and not the kids

them kids were boring in newcastle

just remember who were your dancing partners in newcastle and who drunk all your shots that were bought for you  ;D

Could we not have a scavenger hunt in the club next door to dtd. You hide a messege on one of the young ladies and the subsequent clues are hidden on some of the others  ;whistle;

that would be a craic!

I'm not hunting for clues in anyones craic!

as i said we oldies taught them how to party

much more fun

Excuse me....but who's idea was it to get all those shots?!  Almost didn't get one, now that I think of it.  They all seemed to disappear, despite my careful pre order body count.  Now I know who to turn to at the bash!   rotflmfao

shots.  yummy.

i am not touching shots

hands free - good idea!

Ummm I do shots/pints/litres/bottles/buckets/cow tracks/floor/counter/shoes/boots etc etc

Sounds much like our young persons' night

only more sophisticated.  sort of.

You know Ger, it's a big gap between "pint" and "bucket"...not such a big gap between "bucket" and "trough" though...

Sigh, not only do you misquote my post, you also have the nerve to suggest you are young and with it  LOOOOOOOOOOOL thats funny.

Dont know what you're talking about with the misquote bit ;) but i would never suggest "im with it" as im under the age of 50 and therefore, have never used that phrase!

OK - think we need to get a plan together.  Presume we'll be able to get food in Chambers if we want it, so how about those of us staying in the Holiday Inn meet up in the bar whenever, with a view to heading over to Chambers around 7.30.  Anyone else that wants to come along later can meet us there.

looks like both nights out will be starting in the holiday inn bar before heading out for 7.30, should be good. I assume we'll start drinking early afternoon then

I'm just going to head to the bar as soon as I arrive - probably about 3ish.

I reach Nottingham at 15.26 so should be in the bar for 4

I couldn't see if anyone had properly checked for wheelchair accessibility, just called them and they are.

thanks Jane.  I had checked and thought I had posted, but brain like a sieve these days!

OK, so if no different suggestions by... lets say Friday evening, we'll go with Bar in the Holiday Inn for those of us staying there - whenever we get there, then Chambers for 7:30 for meal/drink/strangling cats.

Sounds good.  We land at 12:10.  Bus to city, check in and at the bar around same time as Claw from the sounds of it.  4 hours at the bar before the rest show up?  Apologies in advance.   rotflmfao

Cool.  I'll give Chambers a call later and see if we can reserve an area.

really? never mind, I'm sure there's somewhere in Nottingham that isn't

Gonna drag Paul there , kicking and screaming if need be !! a few drinks down him and he will love to have a sing  ;D

rotflmfao

lol... sounds a bit like me, apart from the singing bit!

Not my sort of thing but Kev seems to think it will be a laugh - I'll give it a try under protest.

Dammit - I'm really gutted now I'm going to miss it.

Still I guess sipping mojitos in the sun next to the pool aint so bad..........

Roll on BB7 though...

put charlotte, myself and a few of the itb boys no doubt down for this. not sure what time we will all be arriving at nottingham yet will know nearer the time

I've reserved a couple of tables in the name MacGregor from 8pm.

Good woman...cheers!

Excellent . can't wait to have a sing song

I think you should sing '9 million bicycles in Beijing' ;)

Alternative lyrics;

I got 8 different holecards in PLO,
That's a FACT!
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will ask for updates on it 'til I die

I will never play again on Blonde
That's a guess
No-one can ever say it's true
But I know that I will always complain to you.

I'm warmed by the fire of i-poker everyday
So don't call me a liar
Just believe everything that I say

I've played 3 million of hands online.
More or less
And it makes me feel quite small
But that's the one that stood out most of all.

I was high on the wire
With the chips in my sight
And I'll never tire
Of complaining about the hand Kev gave me that night.

I had the best cards that could get dealt.
That's a FACT.
It's a thing you can't deny
Like the fact the chips went the other way on the felt.

:D

Thats it, Im changing my password!!!!

Biatch! ;)

Boldie ... thats fkin genius mate ... absolutely first class.

Dilemma, I hate karoke with a passion but having booked a hotel for the Friday I'm up for a drinking session. I may meet up in the afternoon and get drunk early on so that I care a little less about going to a dodgy karoke bar or I get so drunk and just wander off towards some else such as the bar next to dtd  :)

that's the thing to do, just get to the holiday inn in the afternoon and drink, drink, drink. everything else will just fall into place

And if you happen to fall, we promise to either pick you up, or step over you...leaving a sign to ask others to mind you.

Done deal -- Duke in Holiday Inn bar at 3:30pm at the very latest.

I read your mind  ;)

Did I hear someone mention Karaoke again?

Room for two more (me singing, Sophie cringing in embarrassment)?

More the merrier!

If there is anyone else that wants to come along.... you know the venues, see you there  :D

I detest karaoke tbh but would put up with it just to see you have a go again. you were a legend in cardiff

anyone willing to sing a meatloaf duet with me - stick your name down here!

i take it you'll be singing the meatloaf part?

Looking forward to the Friday night out ... Alas I have a touch of man flu, so my vocal chords may be a bit off ... I suppose I may sing if I am sufficiently lubricated :)

I'll bring the KY!!

IT'S NOT MAN FLU, FFS!!!!   it's a simple summer cold  ;grr;

same thing isn't it? :D

You girls have no idea how bad man flu can be. Jane, it is your responsibilty to nurse yer man back to health, otherwise it will be all your fault.

I was wondering what a man would call it if he got real flu? Pneumonia?

PMT.

All men suffer with PMT, by proxy

it's good to share

Like syphilis?

 

it's not my favourite.  You?

Far from it.  Gonorrhoea FTW  ;applause;

hehe - very good! ;applause;

 ;applause;  <--- clap

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

Well at least two of you got it (the joke, not the clap that is).

Yep, I was whooshed.

me too.  Kin got me on msn and asked me to laugh at his joke.  How sad is that?

 ;nipnip; ;nipnip;

stop - you're making me itch!

Very

Sigh.  Just because you were whooshed.

We going for the record of one page per post here  rotflmfao ;whistle;

yep


yep

Hope to be at the Holiday Inn by 5pm..... count me in this old codgers night out please.  ;tk;

See you there, looking forward to it. Pace yourself Laxie it's gonna be a long weekend!!

Glenn

Soooooooooooo glad I missed all of this or I would have been whoooooshed again!


Oh hush.  On me way to the pub now for a bit of mid week training. 

Sigh, can we get back to my man flu please ... im dying and i aint getting enough sympathy !

You not dying, and nothing wrong that a bit of hard work wouldn't cure..... which you got tonight, and more tomorrow  ;D

Stop whining  ::)

Sigh, this is what he needs

and a bit of sympathy from his woman

Robert knows the score ... as does any man.

ty Robert xxx

I have been dragged out of my death bed this afternoon and made to paint a 40foot yacht ... Thats the sort of sympathy i get !!

Apparently it isn't 40 feet, it's only 36.

You haven't even sneezed today, and only have a sore throat!

Stop being a drama queen.

Warning!!!!    

 Do not let anyone get me on shots or any other cocktail/mixed drinks i just cant handle them as long as I stay on softish lager i should be ok saying that i havent  been drunk in over a year so even the lager will definitely be reclyled at some stage,Does that make me a eco friendly drinker??

BTW Kev if you did indeed have man flu how could anyone drag you from the horizontal state,or was it just downgraded to man cold by then??

Request!!!!    

 Please feel free to get me on shots or any other cocktail/mixed drinks i just love them although I probably won't be ok.

No mate, It was the offer of having use of a 40ft yacht whenever we want if we help paint it ;)

Painting done, and I am back on the sick bed :)

I have been known (purely for research purposes) to sample different drinks. If this shadowy person does exist that intends on getting in some "nippy sweeties" feel free I will manfully step up to the challenge   :)up

I have no idea what nippy sweeties are but feel it would be unfair to let the duke take on this challenge alone so I'm up for whatever the shadowy person has in store

WARNING:  Please mind all walls for me as the night goes on.  I have a tendency to miss the odd one or two...but not all of them.

 ;tightend;  A hero indeed   

where i'm from we have a name for guys like you - poof  ;)


and we have a name for girls like you as well  :kiss:

Whats that then??

Anyone want a shotgun challenge? I have a horse...
