Title: Forum gathering in Edinburgh?
Post by: Proudhuff on 28 October, 2010, 11:33:51 AM
To celebrate the visit of Roger to the Capital city (and an excuse for a pint) how about a get together for a drink* or two with some fellow boarders?

I'll suggest...

Friday 5 Nov, 6pm (or earlier) The Bow Bar, Victoria St (aka The West Bow)

Well what's it to be droogs and chellovecks?









*no shopping, eating is optional, Roger's Mum won't be putting out either  ;)

The image I have in my head is Roger roasting on a spit and all the North of the Border boarders having a slap up meal with their pints  :o

That sounds entirely too healthy for a Scottish meal, CF. We'd clearly deep-fry him.

I'd be up for that providing I can get the night off work for it (which shouldn't be a problem).

Alas I have a wedding that day at the lovely £175 a day Marr Hall. No I'm not staying over - I've got some Mattel moulds to save for. And a new front door.

Balls. Forgot I already have something on that night. Will make it along for two (or possibly three) after work before getting the train back to the big city.

Ah, Bollocks. The last CalHab gathering resulted in a script that got accepted by Zarjaz. And with Rog being there, another would be a certainty!

That looks like a very good choice of venue and i read on their website that they salvaged period pub fittings from other pubs that were modernised so top marks for that.

Would love to be there but I'm not sure if I won't be taking Tiny Tips out to some bonfire related activities on the 5th.  Will let you know once we know what's on at the Dean Park.

It was a problem. For some reason (maybe bonfire night or something) that night has been popular holiday-wise so work won't let me away. I'll make sure and do a big plop on my desk in protest :(

I'm up for a couple of pints and it's been at least three weeks since I was last in The Bow Bar. Would be nice to meet some of the boarders.

It turns out that my parents have booked a meal somewhere, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. SORRY FOLKS. :(

That's a shame Roger, maybe next time?

I'm still game to hit the Bow Bar at six having already cleared it with the Memsahib

No offence to anyone who isn't a holidaying internet prankster but, as I was only planning a fleeting visit anyway, I'll give it a miss.

I'm based in Glasgow work wise these days otherwise that would have been an instant yes.

But I am through in Embra on Monday, so if you are still around then, I might be able to sneak out.
