MuthaHydra / Lord Jo Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ahh , Kiwi confusion . I did wonder what it would be like with a band on upstairs . £ 15 is the total cost for us to have the downstairs bar closed to the public and for our sole use . She said this was to cover the cost of having a member of staff to ourselves . She said nothing about the minimum number of folks - I said I thought that there would be at least 20 of us . She seemed happy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Put me as a probably as well. I think that's just after my exams are done, so I should be free and clear. Central hostel, Port Mahon bar, Mongolian BBQ... anything else I'm supposed to be expressing an opinion on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niamh Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I just found this marvellous site on Oxford. Check it out it's amazing. It gives 360 panoramas of most of town, and has all sorts of virtual tours with a pub crawl. I checked out the pubs I know and it's like being there. You move the mouse and it twirls up down and around you. Gives you an idea of what's to be seen, and maybe pubs you'd want to go to. You'll need Quicktime. If you don't have or don't want Quicktime, google "Quicktime alt" and download this as it's far less bloated than the official Quicktime. Eefa, it's not mongolian BBQ, it's mongolian and BBQ Mel and me are greedy gals. Btw Mel, recent reviews on the Port Mahon give the landlords as Aussies. Maybe they built stairs outside, obviously things have changed a lot since I was there .... it's listed as originally an irish pub, so it's no wonder I felt at ease in it Flaming protected images.......... here it is paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 anything else I'm supposed to be expressing an opinion on? What colour(s) should Zollo's tutu, tiara and confetti be? Should Sean go for the Christian Dior or the Jean-Paul Gaultier? Niamh, Thanks, that looks pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Yes...central hostel and Port Mahon bar all sounds good. I wonder will the hostel be able to take us all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Sean Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Im sorry, but it takes more than an alts word and the insistance of fat bastard who fancies my twelve year old sister for me to do something. You're a fucking dead man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaElane Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ah well, that is too bad for me. I will arrive in England, to live there, on July 2. I will miss everyone. Oxford is one of my favorite places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford is one of my favorite places. Where about in England? The BwB presence I believe more or less spans the entire country, like a web of drunken inequity.

Ser Sean Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 BBQ - sounds good . I just spoke to a lovely Kiwi lady at the Port Mahon . The function room itself is booked solid from here to June with live bands . They do , however have a downstairs bar that they could close off to the public for us . It would cost £15 for our own bar man then we just rock on . What does every one think ? It\'s a smaller bar but I told lovely Kiwi lady there would be about two dozen of us and she said that would be fine . A quick search didn\'t turn anything up , but I can get my Dad to go have a look next week probably . Was it Jas that said she would be down that area at some point too ? I will need to get back to her over the next few days . I reckon Central looks best , hostelwise . Hope I can smoke on the roof . Nice work, Jo. If nobody has any objections, I think you should go ahead and reserve it for us (maybe enquire about the cost of some simple food?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm not sure if anybody mentioned this yet, but you can get a coach from London to Oxford for £1 if you book in advance. The journey takes roughly two hours depending on what time you travel. Megabus It seems that you can't book beyond the end of April using this site now, probably have to try again in a month's time. I just thought those on tight budgets might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 No I know, niamh - the BBQ facility and use thereof is part of why I voted for the Central. I was just specifying that (separately) I think the Mongolian BBQ on the Friday night is a good idea, but people can think again if they think I'm also doing karaoke!! Paddy - I think a nice sheened brown with forest green accents would suit Zollo well, his tiara should be gold with clear and "emerald" rhinestones, and confetti colour doesn't matter so much as being biodegradable. Or possibly edible, if it's going to be flung over our tables. I also think that the classic lines of the New Look would really show off Sean's legs and shoulders. Perhaps with a nice set of heels and seamed stockings, now that I think about it. Then again, I'm biased. I think JPG took the fine and usual and made it, well, just usual.

Isis Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Are we all settled on this hostel now? If so, I'm going to book myself a bed asap - presume we are booking our own, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filippa Eilhart Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 well john graciously agreed to book the dorms, but I suppose he's waiting until Thursday because then I will know for sure if I'm coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman of the North Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 What has been done before was that somebody made a group booking. I'd think the hostel would prefer one booking for 20 people rather than 20 bookings for one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zollo Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 well john graciously agreed to book the dorms, but I suppose he's waiting until Thursday because then I will know for sure if I'm coming So what is stopping him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
