Watching Naked Zero G Mud Wrestling is lots of fun if you have a preference for the species and gender involved.Greyth wrote:Wish I could be there, it sounds like more fun that zero g mud wrestling . Have a great meet.

Re: March meeting - Edinburgh
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.

Re: March meeting - Edinburgh
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.

Re: March meeting - Edinburgh
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 ...Selezen wrote:... the nether ends of the country ...
Sadly I'm otherwise engaged, or I'd look to make it along the M8!

If there is enough interest, I could organise something.

Re: March meeting - Edinburgh
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).Disembodied wrote:I know some people who might object to that description of Edinburgh!

Absolutely. That's no way to talk about the London Borough of Edinburgh.Disembodied wrote:I know some people who might object to that description of Edinburgh!Selezen wrote:... the nether ends of the country ...
(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.Smivs wrote:Long live the Socialist Peoples' Republic 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.
