I'm going to be driving, so anyone who wants to drink is welcome to a lift (assuming you don't live in some far flung part of somerset).

They might get shirty if we've had a few in the pub beforehand.

Fancy a curry at Old India: www.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&lr=&cr=countryUK|countryGB&q=old+india+curry&near=Bristol&sa=X&oi=local&ct=title



Let's see if the linky works this way....

Apprently not, it's on St Nicholas St.

Anyway let me know if you fancy a curry so I can book a table.

I live in Bath, but am quite happy to get the train

Not sure about a curry - I may head back to Bath as I have a Christmas party to crash

If you're looking for additional bodies to make up the numbers for the karting and you can stand to have an out-of-region interloper in your midst, let me know!

The more the merrier. Do you fancy a curry afterwards?

[rebelstar]

Depends on the finishing time, but it's a definite option

I assume it's starting at 6pm, we need to be there earlier for safety briefings and such?
Any idea how long the session is for?

I'm also making an assumption that it's all booked in our name and we're not sharing the rink with skaters (fun as though that would be!)

Arrive at 6 for safety briefing, it's two half hour sessions and a break to sort the ice out so finished by 8. AFAIK it's all ours, the skater slalom costs extra

Is it usually bright in these places?

Are you deciding between the dark or plain safety specs?

Actually, you are pretty much on the money there - I have a choice between clear Oakley goggles, or my supa dupa iridium goggles that cost a small fortune...

I fancy being a bit bling...

Bugger. I'm not very well so am staying at home today. Have fun.

[mechsympathy]

Bugger.

Carpark that looked quite shut from a distance turned out to be very shut close up. Cunning bit of loitering got me in, and the car out, after a while. Other than that, a great evening.

[Bomber Denton]

Superb night, brilliant laugh! Whens the next one?....

[rebelstar]

Thanks for letting me join in the fun. Next time I'll bring waterproof trousers, I was still soaked through when I got home!

[psychobert]

Thanks to Bill for organising a cracking night :thmbup: Not sure what happened to me later; curry didn't agree with me which is odd as nortmaly I've the consititution of an Ox and have eaten there several times before..

Next time I'll listen to the advice offered before we started.. Slow in, quick out, I think is better than quick in, spin, arse feck bugger, spin off...

I just couldn't get Mario Karts out of my head after someone said Bomber looked like Bowser sliding around the place...

Ended up with crashes and spins just like it as well

eh Gezz, Bill?
