Robert Burns' birthday

That should have read "unless your dentist is a quick worker". Another case of uncooperative fingers.

Harrigran that is a shame - but there will be other Edinburgh meetups, see you then.

Baubles I'll pencil you in for the address to a haggis then?

I hope there are a few more of us, we will feel right eejits sitting round a table for three, drinking toasts to each other and fishing Baubles' Burns book out of the soup. Should we expand it to include Significant Others and guests? I think someone has to toast The Lasses and it should really be a laddy. If we are doing it properly we also need a toast to The Immortal Memory. Anyone up for that?

Oh!! Have just thought - should we pipe in the haggis? Hellllp!

It's a no from me too

Yes, I'll be there

I've never been to one of these thingies. I wouldn't mind if we did a bit of Burns, I'd have to read it though, rather than recite. Don't think I could learn anything properly in the time.

Surely there must be more Scottish grannies about?

Not that it's confined to grannies, of course, Scottish or otherwise

GillieB haggis is very good for teeth - it is boneless. I don't think you would make a lunchtime in Edinburgh after your appointment though, unless your dentist is a quickqorker..

Gally has pmed me to say she will be away. It will be good to see you again Marelli. Can you persuade Lurkio to come?

I'll be there! Don't know if Gally's seen this yet, Elegran - she may be away at that time. Hope not.

I might have thought about it if somebody else was coming from Newcastle, but I have a dental appointment at 11.30 a.m. I have already had to cancel it once because I was in hospital, so I don't think I had better do it again!

Do your best, glass we need you!

elegran I would love to join you all but it all depends if DD can get holiday from work, I will check and come back to you.
