Let's start with a random date. How does Easter Saturday sound?

like 'Saturday Easter' but with the words reversed!

I find it usually sounds kind of "Why can't I open my Easter eggs today?"
Marvellous. Two posts and we're already off topic.

potentially - 'twill probably have to be a last minute decision - I have five deadlines in 4 weeks following Good Friday, and a weekend on Skye a week after Easter!
However - if I get enough of it out of the way before then, or I'm feeling carefree, then I'll be there!

Okay, let's take them one at a time:
Where - well, the last two were in Glasgow, so... somewhere else!
When - to be arranged.
Why - why not?
Who - everyone!
What - 's the story, morning glory?

I'll lead an Edinburgh campaign... cos then I can really easily get there!
Though I will actually probably be in Aberdeen about a week and a half before Easter...

Well, Edinburgh is a bit more...... central.

Bedtime I think, Mort.

This is Scotland - there is no bedtime

Only because the Sheriff Officers have taken your bed away.
Well if you're talking central then there's nothing much more central than Cumbernauld and as we have the whole of Easter weekend we might even be able to walk from one pub to the next.

I petition for the meet-up to be in Largs. That way I'm crawling distance from the pub, for once.
If that gets vetoed, though, I guess I could settle for Edinburgh.

Dang. I'll be in Hinckley on Easter weekend, which is probably a bit far to go for everyone else.

Swiv (decrepit postgrad) Posted Feb 19, 2003
I could also suggest Aberdeen the weekend before Easter, or, more irrationally, Skye the weekend after!

Edinburgh sounds... convienent 
What date is Easter Saturday?

Ku'Reshtin (Bring the beat back!) Posted Feb 19, 2003
Should be 19th of April, if I'm not totally incorrect...

I may join the party after 5pm then, as I'll be working that day - unless I can change my shift. I'll have just been paid (and may possibly have my loan by then) too. Hurrah!
