Think I missed the one last year so will have to come to this one!

Don't mind what I have but not a big fan of Chinese!!

[judas]

You forgot Japanese

[Grandmasterbt]

i'll be up for this where it thinking of being held?

[The Tea Boy]

well looking at the poll so far its 50/50 on chineese or indian, then we need a poll of where were going!! and then Dates

[minimax]

oh english please

(and prays for the date set to not be the 11/12/13 dec)

[Fort Jefferson]

I'm in, Mrs FJ will be, if she's not away.

[Polarbert]

Defo in.

[Balmoral Green]

Count me in, don't care what we eat as I intend to get pissed.

We could do Mings again in Belper, that would be very convenient but also very selfish for me. Or, there is Budhas in Derby that does an Indian/Oriental all you can eat buffet, it's not amazing, but it is reliable.

And, there is always Starkholmes, were we went three years ago, that was fine.

Apparently theres an amazing all-you-can-eat Indian in Leicester, on the A46 quite near to the Bentley garage.


Could be a good shout?

[Balmoral Green]

Leicester? but most of us are Derby/Notts/Sheffield'ish/Staffs way?

[Bob the Planner]

The midlands extend further south than that but willing to travel north again this year - may be one of the last Tuscan outings . Let me know when and I will be there. Cuisine is fairly immaterial compared to the company.

[Balmoral Green]

The Viceroy at Duffield is very good.

Can't think where that would be. The Bentley garage isn't on the 46. Ideal for me though as its only a mile away.

[stackmonkey]

Bizarrely; I think I know the one he means - used to be a huge pub if it's the one I went to.
