[Harters]

Jan & I should be "game on" for that, Marc. We're back from Spain on the previous Friday.

If we can't make it, we'll try to get over to Fraiche soon after.

hi there did any egullet folk manage to get a table? be nice to put a face to a screen name

[Bapi]

Aye. I will be attending along with at least one other reprobate.

[marc at fraiche]

would that happen to be the one with the lear jet bapi?

[thom]

Reprobate number one, reporting for duty.

I'm a bit short of Lear jets though.

[Bapi]

The Pink shirted one will also be joining us I hear.

[spanielking]

I'm moving house on monday, so kind of tied up for now .But look forward to the reports.

[marc at fraiche]

great to hear your coming along thom il have to make sure your on a nice table with a view lol

[Gary Marshall]

Just coppering up for some fuel for the jet !

Looking forward to your event marc , and the full english bapi will be cooking me the next day!

Also hoping to arrange another trip to the wirral, best start checking the sofa for change, aviation fuel is sooo expensive these days!

Heading to that london today for a lunch at petit maison so i'm in training!

[thom]

il have to make sure your on a nice table with a view lol

Considering I'm going to be stuck sitting opposite Bapi and Gary I fear that is unlikely if not impossible. If you want to switch me onto the table with Rosamund Pike and Cheryl Cole that's fine though.

Looking forward to seeing you and eating your food again though Marc, it's been too long but what with kids and work I've been struggling to make it out to Oxton. Yes, I fully appreciate that's a poor excuse.

This whole mountain/mohammed thing might be the way forward for you though, come bring that shiny Michelin star of yours to Manchester city centre! I reckon you'd find a few prime sites going cheap right now.

I am going albeit dining alone in the corner looking

enviously at the high table occupied by TV star Bapi

and the high priest of all Mancunia :-(

[marc at fraiche]

[adey73]

Hi Marc,

I will be enjoying the rare commodity of a childless evening with the other half, however if she begins to get bored of me I may well join you in the kitchen!!! Will Mr Radley be stepping in as your sous chef for the evening?

[Harters]

Just back from Tenerife and am currently skint, so wasnt able to make the booking. Looking forward to being back in funds for visiting Oxton in March. See you then, Marc, and good luck in the Big City.
