Scottish meet up thread

tayser · February 24th, 2006, 03:30 PM

cmon weegies, pull yer finger out.

who's up for one? suggestions?

My knowledge of Glasgow is pretty much limited to Buchanan/Sauchiehall Sts (

), so I'm useless for suggestions (bars and what not).

What about over here in Edinburgh - anyone keen?

(sticky thread?)

cheers.

Chief · February 24th, 2006, 08:29 PM

Yeah, I'd be up for something. Venue-wise, maybe something in the merchant city?

mahavira · February 24th, 2006, 11:35 PM

count me in

gorgu · February 25th, 2006, 06:56 AM

Due to sheer weight oif number would it not be better to get you guys over to Glasgow for the inaugeral meeting, after that the show can go on the road, also would give you a chance to discover how much more to glasgow there is aside from Suachihall and Buchanan St

tayser · February 25th, 2006, 01:30 PM

yes yes, but if the locals want to suggest a place and have a pint or ten, they hey why not.

Glasgow's a piece of piss to get to, so I'm up for either really

M_Riaz · February 25th, 2006, 04:42 PM

Aye i'd be up for this and see all yer coupons face to face.

Get a wee drinky poo and shout at each other for a while....good suggestion Tayser.

tayser · February 25th, 2006, 07:07 PM

...and boy do the scots shout & drop the f-bomb a lot.

I feel right at home

***The Boy David*** · February 25th, 2006, 08:16 PM

Hehe foul mouthed banter is a national speciality

Well I'd be up for a meet up - just name the time and place (Merchant City is fine with me - the Beer Cafe is one of my most favouritist places on Earth

)

gleegie · March 6th, 2006, 08:06 PM

If this is to work we need a venue, that seems to be the Beer Cafe, but also a date, I propose Thurs 16th... and time, I would suggest 7pm.

If two or more say's "aye" we're on, if one or more say's "naw" BUT propose alternate date(s)/venue(s)/time(s) AND can garner two or more signatories... they're on. Otherwise it's off.

Capiche?

"signs with electronic pen".

***The Boy David*** · March 6th, 2006, 10:08 PM

Right-o Gleegie - your bang on, someone needed to take control.

And I'll be there - should be interesting!

What about some of the other guys - Crusty, Gweilo, aland? What say you?

Chief · March 6th, 2006, 11:30 PM

I'm down for that - my Thursdays are usually free. Hopefully it'll still be free come next week!

Russell1 · March 7th, 2006, 01:58 PM

Cant do weeknights right now lads sorry

M_Riaz · March 7th, 2006, 02:04 PM

My flexitime is a non starter for me... time i'd get there half the meet would be over, not this time for me maybe the next.

tayser · March 9th, 2006, 12:24 AM

What about the friday night?

I'm moving into Easter road on the Wed night, I'm still as keen as mustard to come over there though.

***The Boy David*** · March 9th, 2006, 01:11 AM

Glad to see you are enthusiastic, tayser

I can't do next Friday though, got a wedding to go to...

Well I reckon that if we are going to do this then we should do it right and find a time that would suit mostly everyone willing to go.

What about weekends, then? I reckon that seeing that most of you guys are working, maybe a saturday evening would suit better? I can't do the next two weekends, but after that I'm free every weekend for ages.

Chief · March 9th, 2006, 02:05 AM

Some time over the Easter weekend? Or if not, then the first/second weekend in April?

solidred · March 10th, 2006, 01:58 AM

nice idea.
I'd love a meet-up of, like real people.
You'll all have to wear black polo-necks, though, or I'll just start discussing chaos theory with random strangers

***The Boy David*** · March 10th, 2006, 02:43 AM

Good stuff - the more the merrier!

The rest of you guys, what do you reckon - is a weekend, possibly a saturday, maybe 3 weeks from now ok with you all?

"aye" =P

What about April Fool's day (seriously

) - Sat April 1?

Chief · March 10th, 2006, 02:33 AM

I'll be wearing a high-vis jacket and a white hard hat.

I suggest we all do the same. Safety boots optional.
