Christmas get together

[MaggieMay]

I think I remember somewhere that costakid was also up for this jolly?

[samizdat]

should have told the a.com MD that we were paying 50 a head Wink

yes missed a trick there I cant make Friday night sorry. getting all excited now I need to dig out the dancing shoes!!

[asiwalkedout]

unfortunately I'm not around around on the 16th so would prefer 17th - venue sounds nice though it would be nice to have spanish food if possible but a place doing live music sounds great!

[MaggieMay]

Shame, the Friday night one would have definitely had the xmas party atmosphere. Never mind, I will check out the other possibility and see who is on, but it ain't Spanish food as such, more sort of general european norm. The only Spanish places I know with live music, is that sort of singing where they sound like they have been run over by a truck you know like the old wailing piped music in Supersol. I'd like to see anyone try to bop to that

[asiwalkedout]

yes probably not the best dancing music! I suppose we could always go to a nightclub after (but not one frequented by teenagers! - if such an establishment exists)
thanks for checking out some places by the way!

[keddyboy]

Im up for it, you decide where and when and count me in. [pressing my strides as we speak!!!!]

[asiwalkedout]

cool! - it's on the 17th - venue undecided as yet but it will be somewhere near Marbella

[poshtotti]

How very nice of the MD of and.com - Thank you!!

Also, thanks in advance to everyone who is putting in the effort to organise this function, I think it's a really nice idea.

[sassy]

wow! what a generous offer from a.com! I would very much like to join you, one thing though, if Katy can make it - please don't thwack me one!

Just kidding Katy, I hope you are able to attend

thanks,

Sass & other half

You're only going to stop Spanish Hopes having all those women to himself! Sounds like you all could have a good night. Hope it goes well for you.

[samizdat]

are you going to be over Frank?


BTW - you need to change your signature - you're a GURU now

[costakid]

sorry folks but i am in uk till the 21st. have a good one and don't get fighting.

[stellastaff]

Hi all, Only just read this thread and am gutted! Hubby is on the razz with his work that night otherwise you could have added me to the list! I have a problem with babysitters you see, no one wants to sit 4 kids! Don't blame em though!

Next time I shall make sure I am available. Would love to be able to say Hi up close and personal (not that close, I am married!!). Hope you all have a great time, make sure you have one for us lot who can't make it!!

[frank]

are you going to be over Frank?

No, I'm not unfortunately. We did have an invite from some Spanish friends, to stay anytime this month, but we can't make it. Perhaps it's just as well! I have flights booked for May, but certainly hope to be out before then. Fancy another spell at a Language School, see if I can improve a bit more. Learn a bit more grammar!


BTW - you need to change your signature - you're a GURU now

Don't believe that! The sig is still very much valid, I'm afraid.

if you have the time you should try the Xmas school in Granada - its a couple of weeks - you have grammer in the morning, some culture in spanish, homework for practice and then all go and get *beep* at the Tapas bars at night - speaking ONLY spanish with the rest of the class. Its a real test as many of them dont speak english so you can only communicate what you have learn in class

Best part is its cheap 150E for the 2 weeks.

Thanks. The last class I attended, there were various Europeans there, including Scandanavians, and a little japanese girl, and as my my Swedish and Japanese is not too hot, Spanish was the language of the day! I have visited many places in southern Spain, but I still could not get over all the free tapas in Granada when we stayed there! And the size of them. I hardly bought a meal there. I like Granada a lot, and would like to study there, but it's not really an option at the moment. Perhaps in the New Year! I bet you're glad you moved from the coast?

By the way, who runs the language school there? Normally they all pack up over Xmas.
