That's a shame, I was looking forward to meet theme again.
I really hope Tobias-UK will feel better soon.

I'll make my excuses now, my room smells like someone has been deep-frying scampi in it so I am bound to have some cling to me. Bloody freeeeeeezing down here too - that's rich coming from someone from Aberdeen, but jeeeeezo it is bitter.

Apologies to the arriving BA1448 party, but I'm running a bit late so might not be at EDI in time for your arrival and have also forgotten the voucher for the wine at Amarone! Hope you all have a nice weekend. It's not *too* cold!

Some of us are meeting at 17 at the Hilton lobby to have a drink on the way to the Standing Order.
So if you are already at the hotel, join us

Good stuff, just getting ready and be there at the Standing Order for just after 6. If anyone is there before me I hope there is lots of space and please post where folks are or even what you are wearing as a pointer.

I'd suggest at the end of the bar if we can at the 11 o'clock position as you go in.

I'll have a sky blue dress formal dress jacket on, black poloshirt, bald head. Shouldn't be hard to spot.

Oh, last year I ended up a little out of pocket and I feel terrible saying this but if you are ordering expensive bottles of Wine/Champers if I can ask please pay for it as it's not fair for others who aren't drinking at all or very little to soak up that on the bill. I think that's fair to say.

Anyhow, let the evening festivities begin!!!!! ^

It's packed and there's football on!

Bit of a queue to get served but got there in the end.

Bonne Chance! ;-)
