[Red Hal]

May I ask where you plan to be around 6pm this evening?

[Teapot]

In the Slug and Lettuce? I think? If you want I can PM you my number so you can find out where we are.

Slug and Lettuce it is.

[Baldur]

Will you have eaten by that time? If not, we can always hold off on food until you arrive.

[Red Hal]

Assume that I have eaten. I will not have time to have a full meal with you, so I shall be content to drink a couple of drinks and chew the fat for an hour-and-a-half, or so.

[Cheese]

Okay, if anyone's still checking the fora, I'm going to be a little bit late, possibly not arriving until nearly 6pm. I'm also texting Teapot and Amy to let them know this.

OOPS: turns out I don't have Amy's number and can't find it quickly in my logs, so just Teapot will have to do.

[Red Hal]

Happy food

[Chironic]

Any Scotland meetups happening before christmas?

[Sungura]

Have some photos from our meetup!!
Attendees: lolsaur, teapot, zohar, adacore, cheese, and myself! With an appearance by Red Hal! YAYYY

Spoiler:

Well Zohar and I kinda met up first and spent the whole day together...went to the history museum and wandered around the city of Edinburgh some

Zohar and I chillin' at the hostel we stayed at

[Teapot]

I really want to steal the photo of me wanting to nom my hot chocolate puddle sponge pudding to use as my facebook profile photo.

[Sungura]

go for it

[Whelan]

Look yeah, I expect anyone who is near Glasgow and a fan of awesome midlands (not really) kids with insane-massive-super-awesome-bastardly-unfair-music talent to be at a friend's gig tomorrow. My friends are the special guests Tom Clarke and Natalie Holmes, and seriously, awesome. Both he and she have albums.

[Cheese]

GUYS. Anyone still subscribed to this topic or checking the forum? Anyone in Edinburgh in the near(ish) future? Because we need moar meetup!

[LE4dGOLEM]

The dates I could come up to visit are currently between the 3rd and the 8th, though this could narrow.

[Cheese]

^__^ well keep me posted and I'll see about ensuring crash space. My living room is CLEAN and the main bathroom is CLEAN because I CLEANed them to make them CLEAN. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN.

[LE4dGOLEM]

Aaaand the only way I was going to afford transport has fallen through, so I'm out. Sorry.

[Red Hal]

Edinburgh. 27th May 2012 (That's a Sunday). Pencil it in ye bamheids.

[Angua]

Pencilled in!

[Cheese]

I will attempt to be a thing!

[UndeadKernel]

That day is my birthday!
What a better way to celebrate it.
Count me in.

[UndeadKernel]

Edit: Double post

[Angua]

Right, I'll probably be dragging my bf around for some of this - he requests that if this turns into a just sitting around affair, he has the chance to walk around every so often to prevent his legs from cramping too much (he's planning on running the marathon that day).

[Cheese]

Wheee, have 'summer job' by then but will definitely be around for the meetup. Calendar marked!

[Angua]

Count me in.

No kidding!!!!!! Mine too!!!!!!!!!!

Extra incentive for meetup - we are definitely buying a cake from somewhere!!!

Reminder time! Also another check of who'll all be able to come on that date. I'm definitely fine for all day. :)

[Angua]

Count me in, plus one marathoned SO.

[Angua]

Bumping thread as we've got a week to go. If people reconfirm, then I'll send you my mobile number via pm. Also, we need to organise place/time.

[UndeadKernel]

I'm still free and willing to meet.

The idea of haggis and cake is compelling.

[Cheese]

Right, confirmation here from me! Any idea where we'll want to meet, folks?

[Red Hal]

Shit. Sorry all, you're going to have to count me out. My remaining parent announced last week that she will be visiting. Apologies.

[Angua]

Sad times. Next time, though!

[Cheese]

Aww, sadteims, hopefully can get some other time. The rest of us still want to go ahead and meet somewhere for a few pints or some fly-fishing or whatever?

[Angua]

Definitely! My bf is going to get to where he needs to be for about 9.30, and the marathon starts at 10. He thinks it will take 4-4.5 hours. So I have all that time by myself

Depending on what/when we do, he'll probably meet up with us at some point.

[Cheese]

First Edinburgh meetup was at the Museum, and it's reopened now so might be worth a wander round for a while? I've not been in since everything was refurbished, and it's an easy enough place to find (and hopefully find folks in?).
Any other suggestions?

[Angua]

Museum sounds good to me. I went in for a quick wander last time I was there, but I was pretty tired by that point.

[Cheese]

Well if we're there early we can choose to see whatever exhibits we want, and head off elsewhere if it takes our fancy?

[3fj]

I have been noticing a lot of faces around here with the Scotland tag, then I remembered the meatspace was a thing. For the record, I am in if we want to make this happen.
