Fantasycon & curry...Two things that go together!

Last year Soozy organised a curry night for the Saturday....It all went rather swimmingly and so we would like to do it again...

Last year we booked Chutneys who rose to the challenge admirably...So...Who's up for it?

First come first served...I think about 20 people is the total from last year, but I expect we can stretch it a bit for latecomers.

Let us know please!

gcw & Soozy

Sorry, I've already been asked by Martin Amis, Stephen King and Alan Titchmarsh to go for a pizza.

No curry for me thanks, Gary and Soozy - they make me sick and I'm an unsociable old fart anyway - but you've just reminded me that I haven't booked my hotel for FCon yet, even though I've got a ticket and hope to be there, so I'd better sort that out soon. Thanks for the reminder!

Caroline...If you haven't booked a hotel yet we recommend The Park Plaza which is 2 minutes walk from the 'Con.

Do NOT, on any account book The Britannia!..:-)

Gary Fry do you really think that Mr Titchmarsh and crew will be in any position to look after you in the event of a fainting episode?
You know that GCW is the only nursey for you!

Sorry, I probably shouldn't join in on this thread as I'm a curry-hater, but I just love the notion of you guys all sitting round a table eating curry and drinking. I bet it's a laugh-a-minute! Wish I was a fly on the wall in the restaurant.

Aw, you're really sweet fellas, but I can't. First, if I'm in the same room as a curry the smell makes me feel sick. And secondly, I can't absolutely guarantee that I'll be able to make it to FCon, so I don't want to be saying "yes" and taking up a seat at the table that someone who will definitely be there could have had instead.

But I certainly do hope to get to Nottingham and meet as many of you as possible over the weekend. Tell you what, you can buy me an orange juice if you insist!

I also like to breathe, Mr Zed. I'm funny that way. Perhaps this time, when I go blue, you could release your grip a teensy bit rather than simply say, "Oh look, his blue cheeks match the wallpaper!". I do love our cuddles, though, you manly bear of a man, you!
