Right, Thierry, "I'm gonna go". It was an unforgivable slip of the pen. I am ashamed of it. / There is another mistake I made by dropping the article when saying "in the UK". Maybe I had better shut up.

In everyday language, rather slang, they say 'gonna' for 'going to'. I think it is a phonetic way to drop the last 'g' of going and shorten the say. So what you wrote "I'll gonna go" is not correct. Say "I gonna go to the loo" for "I am going to go to the bathroom". ('Bathroom' as an American is speaking; 'toilet' in UK).
