Oh, why do I bother?

I'm easy.



Sorry accidentally slipped into (oo err missus) my award winning fords impersonation there.

"Oh, why do I bother?"

That's easy, it's because...

er, no not that, but...

actually, it's, er...

...

Can I get back to you on that one?

And to be (slightly) more serious...

the 6th i could sort of do, but that's in the middle of Worldcon, so you'd have to drag me away from a monumental pissup to take part in another pissup (which ain't gonna be as monumental without Ku'Reshtin, after all).

I'd go for the 13th, meself. I might even have recovered by then. And besides, I think it's perfectly in keeping with the SRG to be late for our own aniversary

You make a valid point there.

Shall we go for the 13th then?

Sounds good to me! Can you make that one Ku'? I want to make sure you can attend cos we've not seen you for far too long

13th of August will be good for me. No game that weekend, no visitors from Sweden, Probably a bit short on cash, but I'll manage.

Count me in for the 13th.

13 August it is then!

Here we go then... A4569339 - add your name to the sign up thread for free beer!





PS: No free beer.

Okay, just a bit of fine tuning needed then... shall we say 1pm in the Counting House, as per usual?

I'm fine with that.

Succinct and to the point information. Your slipping.

Point of Order

Isn't a requirement of meets that there is some sort of non-alcoholic schedule dreamed up? Tradition demands thiis immediately ignored, but it still has to be there. How about scheduling some sort of feelgood outing that would enhance the lives of Glaswegians, no not free Buckie, killing those immigrant bagpipers that are gathering by the thousand this weekend?

PS I'll find you somewhere at 7-8pm

It's a good point, Wumbie. You're not sober are you?

Any ideas for an afternoon activity? Killing pipers is a very noble cause but ideally we're looking for something that doesn't involve getting arrested.

Guided tour of George Square? That'll be non-alcoholic, I guess. Would that be enough to satisfy the SNAG's (Scotmeet Non-Alcoholic Gods)?
Or will they need something more as an offering to be apeased?

"This is George Square and this is The Counting House. I believe it's your round". Nice try Ku

I think you should all buy tickets on the tour bus and get off every time you spot a giraffe...no that's a bit too easy...get off for a drink every time you pass a pub with a biblical connection. There you go culture, religion and bevvy, what could be more fitting for Glasgow?

The Ark's just at the opposite corner of the Square so you're off to a flyer, tho they probably won't let you back on the bus that close to the start/finish, and you'll lynch me.

I admit this does not fully satisfy the SNAG requirements, but did you expect it to?

Okay, what's going on here?

Somewhere between leaving the pub and getting home, somebody has taken the battery out of our camera. It doesn't work with ordinary AA batteries, only with this particular battery. Therefore it doesn't work now.

Log - A5068136

Sounds like somebody's trying to prevent to uploading any pictures- so ask yourself who had the worst photos taken of them last night, and you've found your battery thief...

Mind you, if you posess a card reader then their dastardly plan will have been thwarted.
