Dinner next week!

kingtut

So as several of you know we are planning on going for dinner next week, I thought it would be easier to create a new thread for this.

Please use the poll to pick the dates that suit you. If you are definitely not going to be able to go (for whatever reason) please pick that option or don't vote at all....

Venue and time will be picked closer to the time (pub grub was the most popular choice in the last poll).

yea it is really. just overpriced stuff in that tiny place where there is not even a table to sit down and eat it. i have to go to england to get my dose of raw fish.

well i could go to dublin, but i'd rather avoid that ****hole if it's at all possible..

If you are going for dinner next week then please make sure you vote by the end of today!! Thanks

Edit: If the votes are tied by the end of today then I'll flip a coin or something.

I would love to go, but I will need to remove a wisdom tooth on monday...so, I don't think I can join dinner next week unless it is all soup :P

corkcomp

I might be able to make this, will see when the date is decided. I didnt vote because in Dublin for two days this week so may only know the day before

kingtut

I'm not going for dinner.

Right if it is still a tie at 10pm I'm going to flip a coin and announce the day.

Corkcomp do you have any idea at present which day you are more likely to be free on?

im pretty sure I will be away on Thursday night but go with the flip a coin option because its looking like one of those weeks so cant commit for sure to any day

Ok so it was a tie between Tue and Thu so having flipped a coin the result is THURSDAY 4TH MARCH!!!

Apologies to anyone who cannot make Thursday. However if you are free and have not voted / change your mind please come along!!

Ok so now if you picked Thursday can you please tell me what food you like and we will go with the majority decision. Then we will pick the venue.

For me it is Chinese, Pub Grub, Indian or Italian.

Good choices. I like SoHo's food I must say. Last time I was in Panda Mama it was only fair I must say.

Have not been to eat in Il Padrino or Soho.
Panda Mama is wonderful, nicest Chinese in Cork by far and I have been to a lot of them!

Anyway, not sure what food we will be having, depends on the voting!
Are you going for dinner?

Don't forget about dinner on Thursday at 8.30 / 9.00

Does anyone who voted for Thursday have a preference for where we eat?

Mine would be Scotts - bar food or Panda Mama - chinese.

Really? The couple of times I was in Scotts i thought the food was awful!! SoHo is way better for pub food IMO (and my friends).

SoHo good alright, but you wouldnt want to be trying to have a quiet conversation if its a bad night

True. I would usually have been in there in the early evening so not so much of an issue. The food is very good for pub food though.

telepathy maybe. pm'ing would be as bad as when people who sit right next to you at work / college send you emails except if its something not for public consumption

the 9pm start is a problem for me I'm afraid. I'm too old to be eating that late - I'd have nightmares
I'll have to skip this one.

Hey guys - am a first-time poster here - only saw this thread for the first time today - any chance there's still room at the table?

Of course the more the merrier, I'll be booking tomorrow evening. What type of food takes your fancy? Chinese and bar food are the two most popular so far.

KathleenF

Friday 5th March

Wahey cheers. As regards food I'm easy really - haven't had a good chinese in ages so I suppose that'd be first preference, but so long as it's good food I don't mind what type it is!! Looking forward to it!

Cool, well if you need a number for the meetup send me a PM and we can exchange numbers (same applies to anyone else who is new and tagging along).

Hmmm 9 is a little late for dinner for me too I think. Long day to wait for 9pm.

My first pref of the most popular choices would be pub grub. I like Chinese but haven't been to a good one in Cork yet so not so pushed on that. Indian would be my top pref though.

phew. it's not just me then

kingtut

Okay so it seems like the vote is pretty much 50 / 50 for chinese / pub grub, how about we just go for pub grub?

That way people who like pub grub get it and the people who like chinese can hopefully get something like it in the pub, maybe a curry or something...

Let me know what you think asap, I'll book tomorrow evening.

Pub grub is also cheaper...

KathleenF

Friday 5th March

Sounds like a plan.

kingtut

I'm not going for dinner.

I need to book this tonight as there will be a group of us.

Everyone happy with pub grub? Where do you want to go?

Scotts and Soho are the only two suggestions since the food type was announced...

Right attendees for dinner tomorrow night are:

Been to Scotts a couple of times, found it okay, never been to Soho. Either is fine by me, if you need a definite answer I vote Soho/Amicus.

H3llR4iser

Been to Soho once and it was fine; However I just grabbed a burger and a coffee.
Anyway, as usual I'll be down to work until 10.30pm, so I will try to catch you later if you hang around!
