Anything but Dundee

November 12, 2007 5:12 PM

Anyone think we could have a meetup in Scotland again ?

I admit the idea of meeting for tea and scones in jenners was a bit unappealing as was the thought of the store staff preventing some anonymous members dousing their digital life cocks with bisto during the event - but perhaps some more realistic members than i can propose a venue ( anything but Dundee )? I will suggest a venue to get us kicked off - Harthill Service Station.

I am so very scared to ask what this means.

The last one I went to was in Edinburgh, which makes it Glasgowtime.

You could come to Crosslands in the west end of Glasgow, the location of the famous scene when Begbie threw the pint glass.

the Last glasgow meetup was superlatively superlative though - any further meeting is sure to be a downer in comparison - therefore i'm suggesting dull venues so that we may stand a chance of being pleasantly surprised : )

I have a vision of jackmo throwing a large jug of gravy over his shoulder into the crowd : )

Or, we could have a curry based meetup at Mother India Cafe and go to the Kelvingrove museum and stuff!
