I have heard it referred to as Alton Towers. Once you have paid the admission price all the rides are free.

I'm off to that place in Musselburgh (bad as Marya!) with half the staff on Friday for a real rave up party night - we are taking our token man (poor soul's exhausted every year after dancing with 15 of us one at a time - and sometimes twice!) then the Thursday after I'm going out to enjoy myself

.
Enough of your nonsense - get back to the Play Pen!

That place in Musselburgh is good, I hear, but not as good as that other place round the corner from it.

Is that the place that's good, but not as good as the place accross the road or is it the place down the alley where it all goes off?

No, silly, you're thinking of that other place in Musselburgh.

Had a great meal at The Lot in the Grassmarket last night. Fabulous chocolate brownie for pud... And unlike the last Christmas meal I was at, for about the same number of people, the drinks bill came in under £50...not over £200!!!

All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt!

Did youse smuggle in the booze then - or get squiffed beforehand?
I have a final outing at Leith Walk's famous "Vittoria" restaurant on the 23rd.
I will be having a festive "Diavolo" pizza, follow by ice cream & gaviscon.

Have a great night Sandra and be careful out there.

Sandra's night tonight, then I'm out tomorrow night..........Bess is wondering where her 'pack' is this time of year
At least Javid should do a roaring trade in Alka Seltzer over the next couple of days.......and bacon rolls for the morning after.

I don't go out to work and am I'm just a lazy layabout at home, so don't have a work Christmas night out, but Mr Arachnid and I are going to a thirtieth birthday party on Saturday night, so that'll maybe count as my Christmas night out as well!!!

Why be scared????

Not our Sandra, surely? Maybe she did an Epykat and did a bit of pole dancing.

I'm deeply ashamed to say that my first thought was that she'd "earned" the money in an unsavoury fashion..............
but then I remembered it was Sandra who is very nice and a lady!!

So, BC, did you have a good night then? To be clear, I'm only asking about the part before you got home.
How was "that" place in Musselburgh?
