[Liverpool] Liverpool Digest, Vol 394, Issue 2

Wed Nov 27 00:16:03 UTC 2013

I don't really care where we go but as at least 2 people don't want to eat I wanted to be inclusive. Aren't restaurants a bit fussy about groups of people turning up and a large portion of them not eating?

If Shipping Forecast isn't what people want that's cool, but let's just sort this out. It's gonna be too late to book a table anyway at this rate. We're in danger of finding ourselves rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic here folks.

We still don't have numbers sorted, it's getting embarrassing. Can we make a plan an stick to it? Whatever it is :)

I'll go wherever, just let me know when and where.

Cheers,

Dan
