Title: A Meeting of CBF Chums, Glasgow 2013
Post by: Scunner on December 16, 2013, 20:29:34 PM
A magnificent night at the highly recommended Anatolia Chargrill Restaurant in central Glasgow. We have met so many people who became great friends through CBF and Calis, and here are just a few:

Left to Right: Silly Billy, Me (I was pushing my belly out as a joke), Brenda (Mrs Highlander), Joanna (Anne & Billy Jr.) Anne, Mrs Scunner, Toky, Highlander, Robin (Mr Toky).

It was so good we all agreed to make it a tradition. As for the next one, you're all invited - seriously :D

I think we are up for that tradition, as long as we do not have to have the 15th floor and Bottles of Raki are not allowed in the reception area.

It was indeed a very special evening and one which Brenda and I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed.

There is of course no receipt for such an evening but the list of ingredients would surely include good food, great location(s) and, the most important ingredient of all, splendid people. Not an ego or pretention in sight. Just genuine, good folks totally comfortable in each others’ company.

Add a sprinkling of Christmas cheer and the odd liquid refreshment and you end up with as near to a perfect evening as you are likely to get.

For loz and all other members who are interested here is a link to the venue for the 2014 event. It's well worth a look, honest.

Scunner how did you get my M&S polo shirt to fit as I would have thought it would have been a bit small for you   ;)

Yes, Puma that is indeed Efes.
I'll echo the sentiments of the boss man and Mr H.  A fabulous, fabulous night

Tulloch Castle may well be something special now, but when I was attending Dingwall Academy in the early sixties, it was the pits.  I know because I had to live there.

Haven't tried Anatolia yet, but will do so now after your recommendation, Keith - have been to A La Turka in Pitt Street, Glasgow through a Groupon deal which was really only for Meze, but very nice!

I have no recollection of the discussion (it was have taken place after 9:00pm) but I am told by the good lady that there was a consensus of opinion that a log cabin soemwhere would be a suitable venue next time.

We also did A la Turka in Pitt Street a number of years back, with Anne & Billy. It was good, but this is better I would say  :)

Meant to say, it's a very good photograph.

How many similar have you seen where at least one of the subjects is "not on message" and/or sticking two fingers up behind anothers head.

Looks like a good time was had by all. We must try the Anatolia. We too have been to A  La Turka and enjoyed it.  Have stayed at Tulloch Castle for a school reunion and can assure Marggie it's changed a lot from school days!! Would be interested in meeting in 2014.
