Thighboots2 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 So anyone up for that? Need to go shopping in Regent Street soon, and as Paradiso is just a short heel from Regent Street, perfect for a smackerel of something before heading back to work. Wednesdays or Thursdays are good for me. TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Hi TB2 - I've run out of days off until next year - I could do lunch, but it would be a very quick affair. Alternatively if some of the guys are spending the afternoon I could meet for drinks after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighboots2 Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hi Fog, I wasn't suggesting a shopping event, just lunch. I'll do the shopping I want to do - The Levi's Shop in Regent Street - in before I go to Paradiso. TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn?

Thighboots2 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Wow, I am underwhelmed with the responses. Still never mind, maybe proposing a date will help. I'm thinking of November 15-16 or 22-23. Who is up for that then? TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeelD Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I'm currently unemployed for the forseeable future (until I find a job!) so I'm pretty much free any day (except weekends and when I'm sorting stuff at home) until I find a job. So I may have to pop along for lunch, but November is a while away so I may have a new job by then so I'll let you know. November 3rd is a big no no (if you're bring it forward).

xaphod Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I'm up for Nov 15th at 1245. Much later and we will start to get embroiled in the Christmas madness. Despite sitting back to see if I like the way this board develops, I see no reason to curtail my heeling. Xa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighboots2 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi Xa, Excellent, 15th suits me fine. Let's put that forward as the date. I'll make an entry in the Calendar. TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fog Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I'm up for it, but unfortunately on 15th Nov, I'm on a course. Not that I had any time for much more than lunch. But - If you're all still around when I've finished, I could meet up with you about five for a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at9 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Just an outside chance I could make it on 15th. I'll try to let you know nearer the time but I may not know until the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighboots2 Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Fog, Sorry, but someone had to pick a date and as the thread-starter I guessed it was bound to be me. Do you want to suggest an alternative? either 16th or 22/23 any later, as Xa said, will be too close to the Xmas rush. BTW, do you need to book? at9 & Dr Shoe, it would be great if you could come. I am flexible with the constraints of the 4 dates, so if we can all post our preferred dates then we can arrive at a concensus. TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn?

Fog Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 TB2 - Whatever I can only come for an hour anyway - or meet up after work - as I don't have any leave left. Don't change things on my account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5inchlover Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I think I could make Nov 15th, but I also would have to meet you after work in the evening. I would say about 6.30 or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I was planning to meet up with anyone who's still around. In previous lunch meets, we've ended up at the Reef bar in Waterloo Station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighboots2 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 I went to Regents Street on Saturday - WOW the crowds! So far at9, Dr Shoe/Tara, Xa and Heel-D may be there. I hope someone is, or lunch will be a quiet affair. Anyone else going to be around? TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn?

Thighboots2 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Ok Guys, well tomorrow is the day. and See those who can make it at Paradiso for 12:45. TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5inchlover Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 OK I'll come by the Reef Bar at Waterloo around 6.30pm (thats all I can do) to see if there are any heel wearers - I will bring mine but I'm not sure if I'll be actually wearing them until I have met you first....

Thighboots2 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Arrived at Paradiso at 12:40, just got my self comfortable whan in walked Xaphod. So we sat and had a drink and three trips through their lunchtime buffet until nicely stuffed and follwed with a nice coffee. We talked and realised that we have so much in common. Being both born around the mid fifties, we had the same sort of experiences. We parted at 14:30 as I had to return to work and Xa went on a peruse of Oxford street with the aim of killing a little time until hooking up with Fog and anyone else at Waterloo about now, as I am typing this. I was wearing my normal daily footwear, 3.5" semi-block heel ankle boots from NEXT, Xa pushed the envelope a bit, but I'll leave him to describe his outfit. However, it did not cause any stir either inside or outside the restaurant. Pain of the day, the rubber heel top came off on the escalator on the underground. So I need to get it reheeled pronto. What a great place Paradiso is for a meal, I can recommend the house red wine. Very drinkable. Xa, it was a pleasure to "do lunch". TB2 Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn?

xaphod Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi, TB2 and Fog, Yes, meeting you for lunch was great fun. We won't mention politics here, but Atilla the Hun would have been proud of us ! Talking of AtH, I guess he might have worn a pair of boots such a mine .... maybe not with the 4" heels, but knee-high and red could well have fitted the bill. The boots were co-ordinated with a red shirt from 'Gap'. Not wishing to have too much colour, I wore a dark pin-stripe, mid-calf length skirt (must blend in with the commuters on Waterloo station !) topped off with the long leather coat and the hat. In the West end of London this outfit is regarded as eccentric, nothing more. In Liberty's where I mooched around the 1920s gallery, a sales assistant caught my eye and said 'hello .... haven't seen you for a while' while I contemplated a French, Art Deco hanging lantern for my hallway (big lantern, small hallway OOPS ! ). In no time, it was 1630 and I took the tube in the ©rush hour to Waterloo to meet Fog at the Reef Bar. Too much beer was drunk by this fairly clean-living guy. Combined with lunch beer this became a bit too silly .... ho hum. I think I'll end this missive with a little quote about clean living:- Interviewer, gushing Dolly, you're so beautiful, what's your secret? Dolly Parton, Clean livin' ...... avoid clean livin' at all costs ! Xa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at9 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 We talked and realised that we have so much in common. Being both born around the mid fifties, we had the same sort of experiences. Sorry I couldn't make it. When Xa and I last met at Paradiso we found our paths had strayed astonishingly close at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighboots2 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 at9, sorry you couldnt make it. So now that Christmas is upon us, I guess it best wait until January. That should be a good queue for some "Sale" shopping for those who enjoy such fun and another lunch at Paradiso for those who just enjoy eating (me for one). Xa, as you travel in from afar, why don't you call the next meeting? As your friend Ford would say "Time is an illusion - Lunchtime doubly so" Ladies that do lunch - Nah, Gents in heels that do lunch. TB2. Are you confusing me with someone who gives a damn?
