The last supper @ Chateaux De Pizay

[Ben-san]

Mornin' friends.

We've been contacted by our friends at the Chateaux de Pizay, where we'll be spending our final night of the trip, to offer us a group dinner. As you're already aware, this is no ordinary hotel - and nor is the in-house (or in-castle for that matter) restaurant.

[Cactussed]

Ah, good spot. Can we add Alex to the list of diners?

[Mustow]

Can you please add Karen and myself to the list for the last supper.

Can you please advise the dress code for the evenings as for some reason Karen wants to know what to pack :smilielol5:

:party:

[m1bjr]

Have you seen the stowage in an S2K? I hope we are not talking jackets LOL!

[Mustow]

it's probably even less on the SLK... i've told her casual and we're travelling light... if it's different can we be told please :D

[Cactussed]

I shall be taking and wearing the penguin suit (ie black tie). What the hell. I might even wear it as a daily. Nothing like quite like making an entrance :D

[Dan H]

[Carol]

Ladies,

The pressure is on!
Let's pack the little black dresses and the 5inch heels...

[Butters]

I'll bring the DJ then folks. I did hear Sarah (my Girlfriend) say something today about a dress choice for the evening so I had better not let the side down.


James.

:)

[Ben-san]

List updated. :D

Looks like the consensus on the dress code is black tie - so yes, let's all make the effort!

Andrew - you may have stumbled upon an idea there... last day of the tour in DJs?:smilielol5:

[jumplead]

I don't have a DJ.... will a mafia style suit be okay?

[Dan H]

I don't have a DJ.... will a mafia style suit be okay?

No.

Go and buy a DJ :D


Or at least wear a bow tie with your normal suit :D

[jumplead]

No.

But But But... I'm a poor student..... oh wait a minute I can't pull that one anymore

[Carol]

Welcome to the madness Amit & Shankar!

[Butters]

Have to say I am really excited about this trip now...it's sooooooo close. Although my Girlfriend Sarah isn't currently completely sold on the idea of spending hours each day in a car, I think that she will actually really enjoy the trip. She is certainly looking forward to the break.

Roll on the 17th...

Whoop whoop. :)

James.

[Cactussed]

Yeah, this is getting titilatingly, tantalisingly, tangibly closer!

And in true top gear fashion (pardon the pun), I went on the internet and found this!

Hm.. must be pretty exciting since our Bank's IT blocked it with some kind of "surf-control" thing. Should go home immediatley... and get some more batteries!

Not sure what I'd prefer: you guys in a bikini or in a tux...

Is it really still 22 days?? Can't wait...

[Cactussed]

No batteries required. I may have to wax my bikini line though...
