Gotta run to find a bank machine to get CHF5. Be there in 10 mins.

Gosh!

2 weeks ago he was all about how pretty Basel girls were, and now...!!!

For those who went, I hope you all had a good time . So wanted to go but got lost twice (both en-route to and from a meeting in Zurich) and was starving by the time I found my way back to the main station, in addition to running late for this event. Had a nice fish supper at NordSee accompanied with 2 dls of a delicious but strong () Chardonnay. The wine totally made me tired so decided to come home straight after. Will be there for the next Weekend Drinks and will avoid arranging meetings uptown on the day!

Hi all! I'm new to this forum. Is this event taking place every Friday? Do you know any other good events organized through English Forum?

Normally every 2 weeks, but please check the events as there are other things

Hey DannyOZ

Welcome to the forum.

Don't know the answer to your first question but in reply to your second, check out the EF Social Events threads for lots of events and other social activities organized by EFers. Have fun!

Wonderful night! Thanks to all that came.

Good fun night!

Kswiss took a bunch of fantastic photos as well. PM her, I guess, if you are interested. I think she convinced a fair number of people to buy her style of camera.

I'd say so. I was well impressed with that little camera, especially with that fast 20mm prime on it. Beats carrying a bulky DSLR around with you.

Anyway, thanks to HB for organising. It was great to see the old faces again, and meet the new faces last night. Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks to HashBrown for arranging a nice night out. The venue is great for getting people close to each other. It was a real pleasure meeting new faces and old.

Some Swiss dude quietly asked me if all "English" girls were so much fun and it never occured to him the point of getting hammered in a bar was to talk to equally hammered sexy, intelligent people of the opposite sex. It was a revelation to him!

"Goodness, we do it all the time!"

I didn't have the heart to tell him that potential successful conquests in a bar leading to carnal pleasures lead to a deeper level of attraction, then holidays, dinners galore, parties and visits to the family, more holidays, endless wine, days lying in the grass watching the clouds, concerts, new furniture, a home, more wine, perhaps children - even a wedding - then the honeymoon, wine, comfort and sexual adventurism, loving arms, laughter... and the inevitable decline, the lies, the boredom, denial, drudgery, bills, disagreements leading to nuclear options, no sex, no laughter, stress, pain, breakup, low self esteem, longing, denial, vulnerability, bitterness, rebounds, damage, bills, pain, pain...

So I told him it's best to just go home alone, fill his pipe and watch BBC3.

I think we'll have a new Swissie signing up soon, though.

Thank you for organizing. Had a fantastic night. Arrived short before 2am at Stall 6 and concert was still going on, yeah. Nice hangover....

Thanks all - I had a brilliant night and a particularly blurry train ride home.

Great to meet so many interesting people.....just sorry I had to leave early. Until next time!

Twas a great night. So great I couldn't stumble my way home, had to let a cabby take care of ushering me home.
Thanks to HB for organizing. As discussed friday night, a Settler's night is also long overdue

Yes, the Panny 20mm prime is an amazing lense. One just has to decide between the various Panny and Oly bodies to put behind it.

Sorry I couldnt get to the drinks but I had to meet my future landlord that evening. From starting househunting to signing a lease all in 2 days: who says looking for a flat is hard in Zurich :-) !!!!!!!!!

My official move date is 12th March and very much looking forward to meeting you all after that.

Just post your address. We will show up in the evening for the Saturday drinks.

Nice it worked out well, wish you good luck with your move.

Thanks to HB again for setting this up. It was really nice to meet all of you and put some faces to names.
Thanks as well to the two of you that dragged (well I did ask) off to the CS event.
Not the first time that I have left Zurich for Baden after 06:00 in the morning, but definitly one of the funnest!

Ah, was it CS night at the Magnusbar, then?

Hehe, yes and no and that is all that I say....but sorry, cannot report to have seen whoever is in the above picture there.
Friend of yours?
