Jimi knows the tune to "Donald where's ma troosis" so it's possibly not that bad a trip?

Anyway, two cars will be going past glasgow airport, and each has to pick up the Biggest Person they can find hanging about outside, which will ensure that it's BigNick and LJS. Obviously, we will time things to ensure that the vehicles arrive at the airport at almost the exact same moment as the planes touch down. Or same day at least.

Or rent a car if you like, whatever.

Of course, the easiest option is to Not Go, a strategy actually invented by lord of the board hereabouts, and this year being tested by Claysie who has decided to spend the entuire season in the boatyard seeing how many people he can engage in conversation prior to going to the pub with them, and thereby stop them launching as well.

Assume you are aware of the new pickup arrangements at Glasgow since the Smeaton flaming wagon incident? There do not appear to be any signs for passengers and cars are hustled along PDQ. need to agree a plan I think.

Do it in style and take the seaplane to Oban straight from the centre of Glasgow?

Ooh. I t says it's £149 return. Can't find schedule tho...

well maybe. Dya know others on the forum? I'd say yes, but some of the crew are choosy or grumpy. There's also arsey, whiskery, and gingery.

Jist fly intae Abbotsinch ( Glasgow International - EGPF ) oan wan o' they bizniss twinjets. There's a Jockinese forumeer-in-anither-place does this stuff oan a big Cessna Citation X http://citationx.cessna.com/ fur a' they rock stars, WAGs an' wealthy divorcees, an' a'. Ah'm sure he'd dae ra same fur a big Sassunach wi' enuff wee reddies.

Then its yon wee bus intae Glesca - or a stretch limo, if wantin' to go incognito - an' either take Ra Great Wee Heilan' Train tae Oban frae Queen Street, or get aff at Govan Road fur ra airyfloatplane, in next tae ra auld UC Shipbuilders. Ye'll no' be needin' ony runway, 'cos ra pilot jist has tae dodge yon big CalMac boats birlin' aboot everywhaur. An' he knows a' ra pubs furra lockins.....

Nae bother, an' that.....
