The Cal-Mac all day breakfast is just going to have to wait 'cos there's no way I'm driving up to Ullapool wi' all this snow. This means that I am free on Friday to come out and play, if I'm still welcome.
I think you are meeting at the Jolly Judge sometime after 19.00, not Linlithgow, not Jinglin' Geordie's, not the Western Bar (or anywhere else in the Pubic Triangle).

Certainly.

Indeed.
This is probably a good time to remind attendees that pulling out less than seven days prior to the event requires that a postal order adequate to buy your round in absentia arrives in good time to do so.
(OK - we'll take £20 in cash and call it quits.)

Very wise. Never travel unnecessarily in bad weather. I suppose you'll be expecting me to buy you a pint.

Edinburgh - Glasgow was running half hourly, but they seem to be cancelled now.

Sorry, duff information.
The half hourly Edinburgh - Glasgow is running. The long string of cancellations shown on the Scotrail site is for the intervening 1/4 hr services.

Looking forward to it. My only concern is getting back if the snow starts (although none is forecast) and the buses stop.
Donald is making a Western Union transfer to the pub for our first round at this very moment.

Oh, what a night. Well that's maybe going a bit far but it was fun. Cheers.

That Border Maid - what a guy! You just wouldn't believe what he can do with a ping-pong ball, a saveloy sausage and a rubber glove.

A fine evening although I really missed the Shards - well Mme Shard anyway. The landlord of the JJ claimed he had no knowledge of your money transfer Donald.
Border Maid's trick with the ping-pong ball was worth the bus fare itself.

I didn't like to say so but I was disappointed that you hadn't brought the tandem.

So was I, and ashamed when I found that Marisca dragged his 2 wheels through the slush.
