The REAL Selkent xmas bash thread!

[krazykim]

Ok, i have undertaken the traumatic task of organising this years xmas bash.

As mentioned in the other xmas bash thread, i know of a pretty damn good chinese in Biggin Hill on the main road called The Phoenix On The Hill. It's about £15 a head but it's all you can eat. It's not buffet, you order off the menu and there are over 40 starters, duck and/or crispy lamb for second course and tons of main dishes and you can order as much of any of it as you like!!!! The chicken sataty sticks are particularly good (as in..they're actually chicken!)...*drool*.

I have tried to get Wednesday 20th but i'm afraid they cannot give us a big enough table and with Mark in mind i want it to be a pleasurable experience for everyone. I've provisionally booked a table for Tuesday 19th at 8pm. They can increase the numbers but i have to let them know asap.
Please let me know if you would like to come along (and any partners please!!!).

[rictus01]

Well dependent on Ben being able to collect me, I'm in.

Cheers Mark.

[Kate]

Yum!!!!!!! Thats me (and probably Joe) in!

woohoo! ok, I'm having the crispy aromatic duck, the chicken satay stick thingies, the crispy chilli beef and something sweet and sour and, oh, can't list it all!

I know about booking in advance - but ordering in advance..........

Mind you I guess we could ask them to have a portion of Chicken Satay for each person on the table for us arriving - zero delay kind of thing :)

David

[krazykim]

They're really friendly and the service has always been excellent. Extra pancakes, duck, chicken satay sticks, anything, not a problem for them.

They've never kicked us out before either. We've always been able to finish our food and drink in our own leisure and they've still smiled and asked if we'd like anything else.

Needless to say, the desert menu is not vast as i've never actually been able to manage it! They'll even bring out a part still frozen gateaux if it's your birthday!!!! I was tempted to say it was mine as it's only a few days after, so that we all got free desert, but like i said, good luck to anyone who can actually eat it! (Partly because you'll be too stuffed and partly because it's never quite 100% defrosted...hope you've all got private dental care? Bless!)

Soooooo...As mentioned in another thread....secret santa anyone?

[Treacle]

Im in!

Mark if you need a lift I can make a diversion in the van mate. Not a problem.

[Cazza]

Severely lacking on girls here people!!!

I'm one of those... I can up the pink-named quota for you...

They've never kicked us out before either. We've always been able to finish our food and drink in our own leisure and they've still smiled and asked if we'd like anything else

Only thing is... I work on Tuesdays (in Walthamstowinnit) so won't be able to get there until quite late. Does "finishing food and drink in our own leisure" stretch to me being a late arrival between 9:30 - 10pm and managing to get some food? :cry:

If not, no matter, I'll stop off for a bagel in Hackney on the way home! :) But if you can keep a seat spare for me that will be lovely, thank you.

PS: Thanks for organising it Kim - food at Riverhead is definitely not what it used to be. ie - edible and not stomach-ache-inducing.

What better time to meet everyone than at the Xmas do !!!!!!

I am sure that Kim can get you added to the list if you want (ie reply saying YES I WANT TO GO!!!) and I know that I for one will be biking it - Kim too I hope cos I dont know where I am going (and with the wife on the back I had better not end up circling Biggin Hill in a holding pattern looking for the right place to land :P)

So if you want to come along I am sure you can be fitted in - right folks????

Follow my lead (try not to set my alarm off this time!) Pavement outside, that'll do!.

Kelly, Come down and meet everyone, otherwise the next one will be Wednesday in 2 weeks (unless were doing Wednesday as well? The night after the night before?). Most of the rabble don't bite, much. Watch out for the squirrel though, hes vicious.

HEHEHE well although i am tempted to go as you all seem very nice, I will probably just meet people at the next meet.

Have a good meal and see you in 2 weeks time then.

Hi Kelly!

As mentioned you are most certainly more than welcome to join us in Biggin Hill. Just say the word and i'll add you to the list. We will indeed be meeting up on the usual Wednesday meeting, which will be the following day (20th for all those who can't count :wink: ), So feel free to pop along to that one. If not, we'll hopefully see you next year?!

Dave, i doubt i'll be riding it tbh as 1) i won't be able to drink and 2) i can't sit in my leathers all night! I can give you very good directions though! Alright, i'm rubbish with directions!!!! But i'll do a route map on the RAC website for you

[Viney]

HEHEHE well although i am tempted to go as you all seem very nice, I will probably just meet people at the next meet.

KDont be scared. None of us bite you know. However the next meet will be the 4th Jan 07 :D

Sell out! Will you be too hungover? :wink:

[jambo]

Ok I should be up for this, provided my boss doesn't carry out his threat the send me to Milton Keynes for the day :?

I cited cruel and unusual punishment, but it may yet happen....On ballance I should be there.

Kelly, apparently we're low on pink people (and I shan't be helping that ratio) so pop on down and say hi :lol:

[empty]

I shall be helping the ratio of pink people by being stuck doing a show again.

Have fun,

MT

Luckily for you young Kim I can carry Pink as I am comfortable with my Metro-sexual male status. For the rest of you just because I have my name in Pink and Blue does not make me a Lady-boy. Hopefully this will have dealt with any confusion.

Well I'm now back from Hosp, so that's a defendant attendance, although unfortunately no increase in mobility which was what I'd hoped for.

Cheers Mark.

Cheers Mark.

Afraid we'll be in the car tonight.

[Samnooshka]

just heard on the radio, that the main road going through Biggin Hill is closed due to a big accident... so if any of you are going that way then probably best to avoid it, although it will probably be open again by the time you guys are meeting up. :wink:

[krazykim]

There's a barclays just up the road, a Natwest also just up the road and the bank next door to it is the Woolwich. All are link machines.
Dave, i've sent you a text.
Doug, Pm'd back.
Joekate, See you tonight!!!!!!
Samnooshka, Shame you're not gonna be helping the pinkies!!!!!
Kelly, Yep, i think Joe knew she was joking :D Maybe see you tomorrow.]

See you all tonight guys!!!! Can't wait! X

Have fun all, and i'll see you all next year :wink:

[Viney]

We're coming through Addington so unless the bandits get us (they got Rictus reeeeeal gooood) we'll see you at about 8ish, probably just before.

I've asked Ben to go via the scene of the crime, so we'll be heading that way to.

[SoulKiss]

Good food, great company - thanks for arranging Kim :)

Oh and I got back in one piece - and thanks to Ben for dropping Vixis off.

David

[Viney]

was alright ;spose ;)

Same time next year then?? :D

Tahnks to Kim for sorting this out

[Kate]

Pity we had to wait so long for the starters but damn, worth the wait! Also got to watch Viney and Verna do some interesting things with chopsticks :shock:

Cheers Kim for sorting it!

[krazykim]

Had a really good night. The food was excellent but it was a shame we had to wait so long for the starters. glad everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for coming along guys. :D

[rictus01]

well on balance I enjoyed myself, despite feeling incredibly vulnerable and a good amount of discomfort, the pleasurable distractions won the day.

to all thoughs who made the effort to come down my end for a chat, I thank you, but special thanks are extended to Kim for the organization and informed menu choices, Ben for the logistics and Vixie for the "chin wag" on the way home.

Got back to mine and I just about collapsed in my chair, haven't moved since but a price I'm more than willing to pay.

My one and only festive thing (the tie) is now completed, have a good holiday everyone and see you in the new year.

Cheers Mark.
