Urbs in Scotland - The Meet-Up 2008

[Frostys Lodger]

That would be Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen then.

Remember that that the Aberdeen airport bus stops long before the last flights leave/arrive.

One obvious big airport not mentioned. Glasgow, Prestwick served by Ryanair.

Prestwick would bring Ayr into the equation as a possible venue.

Trains, Express coaches from Glasgow every half hour.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Ayr? You serious?

 

[geminisnake]

Ayr? You serious?

Considerably politer than what I was going to write Snowball's chance in hell is as polite as I can be.

Bearing in mind we are fairly spread out (Aberdeen - Borders - Glasgow and possibly Skye) I think Edinburgh would seem fairly central

 

[Frankie Jack]

Who's for Glasgow.. Who's for The Burrie..

Who can be arsed..

A Jock urban heehaw sometime soon...

I feel a poll comming on.. If thems across the border can meet up in Amsterdam... Whats oor problem.. apart from lethargy...

 

[Frankie Jack]

[tar1984]

DUNDEE!!!

i'll be there with bells on

 

[D]

I'm not an urb in Scotland, but I will be one in August, at least.

If y'all work something out that coordinates with my schedule I'd love to be the transatlantic interloper or something.

 

[tar1984]

edinburgh or glasgow in july seems to be topping the poll just now. that would suit me fine (although dundee would be easier for me cos i live there).

I prefer to think of it as just Prestwick. Putting Glasgow in the name has always seemed a bit much.

As for Ayr, personally no objections but it is a bit of a bind to get to for me.

 

[pogofish]

Who's for Glasgow.. Who's for The Burrie..

Been a long time since I was last there but agree that would be an interesting place to meet.

 

[geminisnake]

So any advance on July in either of the capital cities?

 

[heinous seamus]

I'd prefer May to be honest but I suppose all you far away types have to make arrangements and that.

 

[equationgirl]

Work's been so shit I forgot I did this thread.

It's looking like Glasgow or Edinburgh in July, and D, we'd love to see you

 

[softybabe]

'tis sure would be nice to make this...Edinburgh will be gr8! Defo on our 'to do' list.

Not allowed a special one yet

And I think anyone cept a very special few are invited You can't come if you get boat happy(is that the right term?)

da Welsh got one

boat happy?? dunno that one

 

[Gromit]

Temporary Wales Pass or Twp for short.

 

[equationgirl]

Being boat happy will result in being shot in the face

Tis standard nautical practice

 

[Superdupastupor]

[/boat-happy madnees}

shit?!?!! its on a boat now

***goes off to prepare depth-charged chibb. . and ponder the fact that he 'got' U75 'culture' ****

 

[Velouria]

Eh? oh bugger I missed this one ... I spend far too long away from urban, months at a time without knowing what's going on these days ...

I voted July/August, Edinburgh. Mainly because I live nearest to there, and there is room here for some people to stay if I tidied it (which could, err, probably be accomplished by July/August ). Problem is the last train is at 23:21 :-(

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Can I double my vote for Edinburgh, seeing as it seems I'm likely to be moving there in the summer?

(good to see you back Velouria!)

 

[geminisnake]

Is it FAFF!! I don't do boats. I like solid ground under my feet thanks

 

[heinous seamus]

I was in Ratho today and noticed the inn had a sign up saying you could hire a boat for a 'knees-up' ....

 

[equationgirl]

Right, the poll has closed, and it's Edinburgh in July at the final count.

 

[treefrog]

sounds good to me!

 

[mitochondria]

nice ;]

Now YOU NEED to set a date, time AND place!!!

Best of luck hun

That has been a remarkably short time to come to a decision.

Any date in July except the 16th is fine for me, I'm going to see Leonard Cohen on the 16th.

 

[Gromit]

Date sooner rather that later please. Lost cost flight get more expensive the longer you wait.
If I do decide to come it would cost me £32 ATM but if we wait too long I may have to defo pass.

 

[heinous seamus]

Somebody should start a poll of some sort to decide which weekend in July.
Not sure I'll be able to make it but will see.
