Edinburgh mid-December meet 2017

On the table, Jane. Soop will show us how.

‘As stately as a galleon we sailed across the floor...’ Dancing ‘bust-to-bust’ is not my thing, and my gownless evening strap is still in pawn, I’m afraid ?! Jane10, you and I will just have to be wallflowers, if the others fancy a jig (ROSL might not let us back again if we get a bit frisky with lunchtime beverages)! ?

You misunderstand me. My frisky high kicking days are over. Did you know that I took ballet lessons way back in 1946. Won a prize. Sweet memories! If I can manage to remain upright, I'll be more than happy. Would hate to let the side down. Elegran has an unblemished reputation to maintain.

...or so she'll have us believe.

Depends what the reputation is for, soop In certain fields, it is unparalleled, but then no-one is keen to outdo the gold medal for the most chocolate biscuits consumed in ten minutes. or the challenge cup for early morning eructations.

Elegran, I had to look up ‘eructations’......?!
soop, I can imagine you in a wee tutu (of course, you must only have been about a year old at the very, very most)!?

You thought it was naughties, Marelli, didn't you?
I hope soop brings her wee tutu. This I must see.

That is a fabulous word! I'm going to start using it!
Thank goodness we are not meeting until lunchtime, that should give the eructions time to dissipate.

Is the ROSL ready for this?!

Ooh, I never did, Elegran! ?

Hang on a mo' Is that word for real, or what! I'm about to check it out in my book of words.

Oooer...I was thinking along other lines. Now, do I experience eructions. I must confess that I do. When in polite company I do my utmost to hold them in. Well, that's okay. Please note that I said when in polite company.

Elegran NO mention of MacSporran's sporran should you get to say hello. I would most definitely be chastised!

I cannot understand why my wee tutu no longer fits. I use it as a tasteful bedside lampshade. Classy!

What sporran, soop? Never heard of it!

Elegran I'm glad that your photographic memory is not as keen as it was way back when.

I meant to spell eructations correctly. Too busy laughing to remember what it said in the dictionary.

It is to my eternal regret that you deleted the sporran pic before I saw it Soop! With the result that my imagination has worked overtime ever since!

Perhaps this lunch should be relocated to the Argy Bargy?

Titters!

I'm quite happy to set up the Argy for the meet up, it's become a bit quiet recently.
With Soop's "delicious" Eton mess, the ferret scratchings and the home made hooch, we will have a ball.....And there may be entertainment available.

Yes, we can lay on a buffet for you ( literally in Marydolls case when she has had a few)?
For a small fee, we can provide all your eating and drinking needs, and you should only end up in A & E for one night if you imbibe carefully.Although this is Scotland right, we can also supply Irn-Bru for the drivers among you.?

I may be a wee Weegie, but despite what "Lemongrove* says, I can do "refined". When in Edinburgh I believe there is a saying, something about wearing fur coats, so I've been getting into role.
Also I have been having brown sauce instead of tomato ketchup on my chips.
Compared to the Argy, ROSL seems very upmarket and I was a tad worried that the bouncers wouldn't let me in. However, I have discovered that Big Jim's brother, Wee Wullie, is the bouncer, so no problem there.
With my refinement and Soop and co' s experience on the charabanc it should be a riot a lovely afternoon.

Here's another wee Weegie but I have no fur coat and I keep the other accoutrements well covered. Hope this doesn't disbar me from the jollifications! Regarding brown/ tomato sauce I'll be in Costco today and couldpinch liberate some of those wee sachets from their very salubrious lunching area ( if ROSL allow bringing one's own food)

A warning to be posted on Trip Advisor. ^The Argy Caff is highly recommended for those who make do with sawdust on the floor, shabby furnishings, lousy grub and service with a scowl.
The ROSL, on the other hand, is for the most discerning of clientele - those familiar with what knife to use and how to hold a china tea cup whilst dunking the biscuit and mind their p's & q's^.

I was wondering, should I wear a hat or perhaps a fascinator?
I don't want to let everyone down.
