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

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 :roll: .
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? :shock:

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!!! :wink:

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.

I'm deeply ashamed to say that my first thought was that she'd "earned" the money in an unsavoury fashion.............. :oops: :oops:

So, BC, did you have a good night then? To be clear, I'm only asking about the part before you got home. :wink:

How was "that" place in Musselburgh?
