Watching Naked Zero G Mud Wrestling is lots of fun if you have a preference for the species and gender involved. :D :lol:

Apologies in advance folks,

I'd love to be there but I am alas duty bound in Central England... If per chance some event occurs closer to Middle England I will redouble my efforts to be in attendance. I hope that those attending have a great evening.

Alas I too will be unable to make the trip to the old stomping grounds. Make sure to visit Rose Street and try to get from one end to the other.

I was contemplating a Midlands Gathering too, Duggan, since I live in Derby. Everyone seems to organise stuff at the nether ends of the country but no-one seems to go for the centralised location.

Nottingham would be my location of choice.

Anyway, you Scottish Lot, have a great time and sink a McEwans for me.

I know some people who might object to that description of Edinburgh! The city is, admittedly, about 30-odd miles closer to Lerwick than it is to London, so it does just about fall into the north half of the country, but ... ;)

Sadly I'm otherwise engaged, or I'd look to make it along the M8!

Nottingham would suit me :)

If there is enough interest, I could organise something.

I was born and brought up in Kirkcaldy, just over the Forth from Edinburgh ;-) Hard though it may be to accept, but Scotland always seems to be thought of as the "nether regions" of the UK. Mostly by you English (CENSORED). ;-)

Absolutely. That's no way to talk about the London Borough of Edinburgh. 8)

(Having become familiar with Glasgow, then Stirling, but then visiting Edinburgh and wondering which country I was in...)

And a monarchy with it - don't forget Elizabeth I gave the crown to James VI of Scotland.

So if the Scots do get independence, what are us English going to do for a royal family? Especially since Posh & Becks are also leaving us to live in LA.

We'll find a long-lost descendent of the Plantagenets as a new monarch, and lay claim to France again!
