Edinburgh mid-December meet 2017

It’s ages, gillybob! Was it not the Newcastle meet-up, where we had that lovely Italian lunch, then sat in the sun having a wee snifter or two (near St.James’ Park)? ☺️

I'm so envious of you lot. I shall really miss seeing all this year...I can hardly read all your posts. I am reduced to: ?. While you're eating your C******** lunch I'll be fast asleep on the other side of the world. Have fun ?

Yes I think it was Newcastle Marelli

I'm really looking forward to this one, DH is dragging himself away from work and coming to Edinburgh with me (wonders never cease) and we are going to have a little mini-break , staying until Saturday lunch time! Train booked, Hotel booked. Scotland here I come. Can't wait.

DIL has got her new rota and I'm able to come to Edinburgh. I can't wait to meet up!!

Great, Marydoll!

I'm quite scared of meeting Marydoll. I hope she doesn't bring any of her Argy Bargy chums with her!

I'm actually nothing like my Argy persona! Well not much!

We'd better start practising our Glasgow kiss.

We'll raise a toast to you, marmight, a slice off this ?! ?Have a lovely Oz hol ?

Marmight Would it be possible to Skype us?

You could Skype over some sunshine.

Just heard that we will be in the Edinburgh Room on our own. That is a bit narrower than the Robert Louis Stevenson Room where we have often been before, but has the same bay window looking across to the castle.

The restaurant itself will be full of Bank of Scotland pensioners, so white hair will be obligatory at the ROSL that day.

Name check in case I've left anyone out.

Still room for more!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please may I sit in a position that enables me to hear what folk are sayin'. Two hearing aids and lotsa noise can be befuddlin'

If course you can. soop, but if all 17 talk at once there may not anywhere that any of them at all can be clearly heard!

Maybe we should all change seats between courses so that we can talk to different people?

Gosh. Its going to be a bit of a do!!

It all sounds really exciting, please can we have lots of photos, (maybe some on fb too?)
Hope you all have a great time with lots of ?????????

I was getting worried about all the bling which will be on display. As a result, I have contacted my Swiss bank and they will courier my tiara and family jewels to the family seat in time for the bash!

Will you have a bodyguard to keep an eye on it all? Young and fit, preferably. Bring him along in case you are mugged at the table.

I was thinking of bringing Big Jim from the Argy, he is so refined .
However, I think he might freak out Jane

She might take him off you. There's no holding her once she gets a Babycham down her.

Well, I'm not having my MacSporran mauled to within an inch of his life by you lot. He can entertain himself window shopping. In the meantime...

Marydoll I've a vague recollection of meeting Big Jim when I dropped off the upside down cake at the Caff. Is he the swarthy hunk with big biceps and a liking for tattoos?
