Lordy Lordy Lordy,

Last week was really awesome as ever, although I seemed to only have recollection of 70% of the night (ending roughly after the alchohol from the first Tikka Pukka Pukka (TPP) took hold). This week I'm avoiding temptation by staying well away from any locations that retail said concoction!!

It was a really fun crowd last week, quite a few new people which is always good so any newbies feel free to come along this week too. Everyone is ALWAYS welcome.

So what's the plan...

Fri 16th Jan From 2030 onwards:

Friday night we shall go on a bar/club event down by the Creek starting at QuarterDecks (or QD's if you're a down with the kids ) and ending in Tribe or Chi@The Lodge

I've tried to come up with a solution to the many different kinds of people that come to the events: -

1. Some like a quiet bite to eat and then meet up with people with the aim of going home early
2. Some like a quiet surrounding and good conversation (Shisha and Drinking optional)
3. Some like music and dancing

Well this plan has it all. For the first category you can come early and enjoy the restaurant and then come over to the main group for a drink afterwards, for the middle category you can come a bit later and then leave when we move on to the club stage and for the latter you can dance your hearts out when we get to Chi or Tribe AND, if you're really up for it you can do it all - it's really up to you!

General plan will be
2030 - Meet at QuarterDecks (Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club). Tell the Taxi driver you want to go to Dubai Creek Club and then once at the entrance the gate guard will direct the taxi driver to QDs. Once there give me a call and I'll put my hand up for you to see.
2215-2300 - If we go to Crowne Plaza and Tribe then we may pop in to Fibber Magees for a quick pint
2300 - Either off to (Chi@The Lodge) or (Tribe)

Please click on the names of the places to see their respective websites and to find their locations - most good taxi drivers will know where to go.

Timings are not fixed by any stretch of the imagination so just get in contact (See Notes) with someone beforehand to find out where we all are.

Sat 17th Jan - From 1330 onwards:

Late lunch at the Underground Pub, Grand Habtoor - For those of you who do not want to specifically drink or would prefer a daytime meet up this is the one for you.

So post if you're coming and for the ever-growing existing group post if you're not. Last weeks general discussion seemed to be about nationalities and the pain of the TPPs (Hence why I'm steering clear of them this week ), this week who knows - maybe a discussion on Shinjuku's 2009 Shoe collection...

Looking forward to seeing you all...

Notes:

CONTACT DETAILS - PM myself with your mobile and I will text you back. If you feel more confortable PM'ing a girl PM Caldwema, Maz25 or Dizzyizzy.

AS THIS ALWAYS GETS ASKED - To access PM facility for a person click on their name next to the post ie top left just above the stars, if they have the option to send/recieve PMs it will be in the options that drop down.

Nice organising my friend. Good to see our banking industry, despite uncertain and worrying times , still not working you too hard to post the fun stuff

Of course I shall attend; will remember to eat this time so I don't end up spinning home after just one proper drink (although in my defence it was a TPP).

Soon it will be time for trips to Fujeirah...

Not yet, I am waiting for my stuff to arrive from the UK, then I will be arranging some diving trips out there (killer algae not withstanding!)

I was in Fujairah last Friday. Its a very nice place, but the smell of the algae really sucks these days.
