Bad news for anyone on the 15.20 flight like me. Currently delayed by 1h 30m to 16.50!

Sounds like a fun night.

Safe journeys home everyone.

At least I can't be blamed for once for any shenanigans! Wozza2404 and his Mrs had to put up with me on Friday for the flight to JFK and dinner in the evening.

Great mini do! Apologies for running off upon arrival at LCY, corporate-wage-slave.

What a bumpy ride across the city don't you think?

Saturday May 13th, 2017. (might be the 20th though!)

No poll, so get it in your diary folks. I'm glad folks enjoyed it and the wee pub around the corner was perfect for afterdrinks

A big thanks to PETER01 for organising a nice Do! It was a pleasure to meet everybody and we even got to see a sunny Edinburgh this afternoon!

I appologise to TravellerFrequently (I think?) for not being more sociable at breakfast this morning than a discrete hello. Having got back to the hotel after 4am, I wasn't fully awake at 10:30 for breakfast...
