Welcome, tulip
it is a nice pub and has a quite spectacular ceiling to look at when you've fallen on your back :)

The guy I spoke to behind the bar said it tends to get rammed on a Saturday afternoon because of the footy, but it should quieten off by the early evening before getting busy again. So if a few of us get there there earlyish we might be able to commandeer a corner...

Good shout DG!
So looking forward to this now!

Ooh! Ooh! I forgot!
The main entrance is a revolving door, which will be fun as the night wears on...
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:28, Reply)

Revolving door ?
Oooo! I'll get giddy and make a tit out of myself.

@DG
Mr Nice Manager Man said there's nothing doing that weekend so we were very welcome.

I didn't mention that we were from teh interwebs in case he thought we were all swingers...


edit: are you implying I might end up on my back that weekend?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:35, Reply)

I hope somebody has a hissy fit
And tries to slam it!

Can't wait for the bash even though it transpires that I wont be able to afford a kilt in time =[
( Captain V, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:35, Reply)

It's ok,
I won't be wearing a kilt either.
( Cawl, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:37, Reply)

Come to think of it
Considering I'm likely to be very drunk (I've been a complete lightweight lately) it's probably good that I'll be wearing underwear...
( Captain V, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:41, Reply)

@Kaol and Captain X.
FAIL
( girlinthehole, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:42, Reply)

That's exactly my theory.
I'm gonna end up making a tit of myself.
So it's best to be a tit in jeans than a tit in a skirt.

EDIT: Fail? *face of apathy*
( Cawl, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:43, Reply)

or better still
why don't you all wear a bra

then any tits will be entirely appropriately dressed.

and you can flash us.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:44, Reply)

Is this what it boils down to?
Crazy amounts of cross-dressing?
I think pub landlords have got their preconceptions about "people from the internet" about right...
( Cawl, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:47, Reply)

I would like to state that we Scots are not all cross-dressers.
Just k2k6, and occasionally Tulip.

And I also won't kilted.

I still plan to try to be there to the best of my ability.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:49, Reply)

You better be there!
Or I'll be coming to find you.
( Cawl, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:51, Reply)

@ PoD
You'd better be there

i'm scared of Kaol and I need someone to hide behind.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:52, Reply)

@ PoD
Tulip's not a Scot!

I too shall be in trousers.

I imagine I shall be there early-ish as my basic plan is driving up with Tulip and picking my good chum Matt up in Dalkeith on the way as we're staying at his.

Such is the plan!
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:53, Reply)

I *want* to wear a kilt
I just wont have one by then and it just so happens that fewer people will see my testicles if I don't wear one.

I'll buy one eventually, in my family tartan, and then find out more about my family history to see if anybody actually lived in Scotland in the last couple of hundred years. Something tells me they probably didn't.
( Captain V, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:53, Reply)

Somebody better turn up in a kilt.
I'm not pretty when I throw a strop.
( girlinthehole, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:54, Reply)

@BK
I bloody am a Scot!

ok, an honononononrary one, but still!

*paints face blue*

*paints bum blue for good measure*

*yells inflammatory things at you from this side of the wall*

edit@blousie - if I wear tartan pants will that stop you from being in a strop?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:55, Reply)

BGB
If you want to ensure somebody does you could always buy one for me!

The only way I could afford a kilt by the bash is if I put off moving out from my parents' place again. A kilt isn't worth the torture.
( Captain V, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 19:58, Reply)

@ tulip
OK!

*placates*
*soothes*

Honorary Jock it is!

So looking forward to this now:D
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:01, Reply)

Ok captain X.
I'll send a fiver in the post.
( girlinthehole, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:02, Reply)

@BK
you're only looking forward to it cos I said I'd wear my tartan pants.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:03, Reply)

mmmm
Tartan pants!

Thanks for the fiver BGB. I think I can afford a tartan thong now!
( Captain V, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:05, Reply)

@ tulip
That's quite an unexpected bonus I must admit!

It would be even more of a bonus if you got tipsy enough to show them off, since I know you're the shy type.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:08, Reply)

I do indeed plan to try my hardest to be there
I may head up early and leave slightly early though, as I will be driving home again for the next day I think. Woo for long drives and the like.

I can't think of anything tartan I own other than my kilt. Hmm.

Also, I'm not the biggest person to hide behind. Kaol will just look over me and see you...
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:09, Reply)

I'll protect everyone from Kaol.
He doesn't scare me........much.


Besides I know for a fact he wouldn't hit an old lady.
( girlinthehole, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:12, Reply)

Ooh no
I shall be sticking to orange juice all evening.

And yes I am shy as you know.
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:12, Reply)

@ tulip
Booo! Having said that I know you are not in any way a fan of gin, wine, franjelico, rum, real ale, or that cachaca stuff I forced you to drink the last time I saw you.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:18, Reply)

@BK
fine, make out i've some sort of drink problem then.

it's not ME who throws it all over my guests.

*huffs*
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:24, Reply)

@ tulip
I wasn't inferring that at all!

And that's how I greet all my guests!

I anoint them! On that occasion, with sloe gin.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:30, Reply)

hurdygurdyikeameatballs.
I hope you all have a rubbish time without me.
( wanderlust, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:35, Reply)

Lusty you're going to kill me at your bash next month
I'm significantly less hairy than I was this morning...
( Captain V, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:38, Reply)

Lusty!
I miss you.
( Cawl, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:39, Reply)

I miss you too Kaol

(Bazongaloid, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:40, Reply)

@lusty
it'll be crap without you!
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:41, Reply)

Hmmm...
You're not Lusty...
Are you?
If somehow you are, then my reality has been rather different to everybody else's.
( Cawl, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:42, Reply)

Grow your beard back.
Then I can cut your head off and mount it on my wall and look at it every day and touch myself. yeah.

Hello kaol you sexual goose.
( wanderlust, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:42, Reply)

I could be lusty
all I need a big boobies and lovely hair.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:43, Reply)

My beard is still attached to my face albeit a it is slightly shorter
But the hair on my head is not so long =[
( Captain V, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:44, Reply)

Starting time
Because there's so many of us, perhaps we should move the start-time back to mid-day like what we did with the big summer-bash last year.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:45, Reply)

Yeah...
I'm having a serious crisis now.
I can't honestly remember ever seeing the two of you talking to each other... Or standing next to each other. Anything like that.
I wish I was joking.
( Cawl, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:45, Reply)

Which head?

(Bazongaloid, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:45, Reply)

Right
Time to get the hotel/train booked. But am I heckers like wearing a fooking kilt. I'm not suicidal.
( jim_bob can herd cats., Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:47, Reply)

I am not coming to scottishland
I have not enough money for such indulgences. Instead I am taking my best man to see Nashville Pussy and we will get very drunk.

Kaol, I have never talked to lusty.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:47, Reply)

Both of them!
Oh, you were talking to X.
EDIT: See, she's not going to be there either.
I smell a conspiracy.

I'm gonna have to touch both of you at the same time at some point.
( Cawl, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:48, Reply)

No I was talking to your mum.
and we were discussing which boobie she wanted me to jizz on.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:49, Reply)

@ al
Nashville Pussy are still going?

I liked them.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:49, Reply)

You can touch both of mine whenever you want.

(Bazongaloid, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:49, Reply)

Ah.
That'd explain things.

I'll get the spade for you then :(
( Cawl, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:50, Reply)

Oh my
Turns out I can get a tartan pouch for the fiver BGB is posting me. I'm kinda tempted to buy one...help.
( Captain V, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:54, Reply)

Said elsewhere but
it's funny that now I have enough money to catch a plane and go - I can't because I have work the next day. :(

/very sads.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:56, Reply)

I want a copy of Christ Illusion by Slayer
Should I pay more money to get the uncensored sleeve, or should I stick to the censored cover for under a fiver.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 20:57, Reply)

I don't think I'll be able to make this now...
My stepdad is retiring and having a big do, plus it's the fiancees birthday! :(
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 21:18, Reply)

Am I the only guy who's prepared to wear a kilt then?
Seriously tempted to wear boxers underneath, if someone lifted my kilt I would actually cry.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 22:27, Reply)

So would I...

( Cawl, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 22:31, Reply)

Yep
I'm not wearing a kilt. But I will be wearing my wedding regalia, and so am likely to get my bonce kicked in...
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 25 Feb 2009, 22:32, Reply)

I won't lift your kilt, Labs.
I'll just pop my hands underneath and have a rummage.
( thealternativefact, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 22:36, Reply)

Clendrix!
What do you take me for, some mini-skirted hussy, blitzed off his tits on Reef?
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 22:46, Reply)

Labs, I'm terribly sorry.
How rude of me.
I shall be doing no rummaging - instead I shall simply give you a very proper hug.
