h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Its a Wetherspoons, just like every other one. If we could avoid a chain I can get to any time I like I would be happy, but them I'm just being fussy.

Ahhh, why does it have to be in Glasgow?

Well, for my part I have someone to collect at Glasgow Airport and I have to be vaguely sociable to the people who I am staying with over New Year, whose house in Glasgow I shall be gaining access to that day. If it were anywhere else I couldn't come. Of course, if everyone else wants to move it feel free, I'll live with the snub.

We could have it in Falkirk instead....Much easier for me (and EV)...

We could move it to Lincoln....... even easier for me (could make the family visit easier to survive....)

But then we would all have to wear green and slap our thighs.

Only if we went to Nottingham........

But it was Lincoln Green! Oh these English and their confusing legends.

We could have it in the lovely picturesque village of British Racing. On the Green there.

Yes, let's have it in Falkirk... equally inconvenient for Glasgow and Edinburgh!

"Ahhh, why does it have to be in Glasgow?"

Because Edinburgh has been burnt down, you silly girl

Not all of it!





Just most of it, apparently...

Pah! It's just Edinburghians standing in front of cardboard cutouts of Princes Street saying "Aye, muhn, things are buck to normul, like" and then the cutout falls at the end and there's just this big burnt mess with people picking chips and sauce out of the ruins.

Those freeloading Edinburghians ain't getting Asylum over here, you know. Bunch of economic migrants!

It wasn't a real fire, you know. It's just one of those "street theatre" things they do for the Festival.

Followed by a Virtual reality demolition like in a game then???

I don't think they'll be seeking asylum over in Dundee...

Asylum seekers are known to be desperate though.
Anyhoo, enough of this nonsense, you're all coming to Glasgow, aren't you, to settle into a nice warm pub and regale me with tales of Christmas jumpers and overly lubricated grandmothers?

Hah! Just spotted that we are listed in the Post this week as definately being in Glasgow. So yah boo sucks!
So, back to the "which pub" discussion.

Alas, I cannot come to the meet. I will be heading south to my folks, so they can view the new man in my life (eek!), and so my sister can view me (she doesn't speak to me you see) Well she is over from the US of A, so one has to make the effort.

I might be able to make it, I'll see what's happening.

Why does she bother coming over if she doesn't speak to you?

*gets out his copy of "Which Pub?" magazine*

City Centre, reasonable beer selection, food, can't be that hard, surely. I'm still tepmted by the Horseshoe suggestion, but being busy will npt be helpful.
