I'm expecting to see Bearcub, Foxy, Marya, Izzie, POP, Porty, Gilo, Scoop, Mr Scoop, Bellybabe, Epykat and Mr Epykat on Friday.

Plan is that we meet at 6pm for a quick drink in the bar before dinner. Sorry its so early but they shut up shop by 10pm in the evening. Hope this suits everyone.

Come to the public entrance at Horse's Wynd (opposite holyrood palace). As it is after hours you will have to knock on the door/get the security guards attention somehow! I will come down to the public foyer just before 6. See you all on Friday

. Is this before or after they run out of wine? This could mean we have to drink even faster

See those who are coming for dinner tomorrow at 6pm. Looking forward to it

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 23 Mar 2007, 10:31

I really appreciate your offer, Izzie, and would normally take you up on it, but I'll already be in town for an appointment that ends at 5.45.

Not sure how well I'll survive the night as my health isn't great and I'll probably go home quite early, but looking forward to seeing everyone.

I am hosting a dinner party tomorrow.

I have just received a warning from my lovely co-host that I had better not come home from the Parliament in the same state that I have arrived home on the last two occassions.

Oh Dear!

Lets put a bet on - I bet POP will get in his usual state....

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 23 Mar 2007, 15:44

If he says he's not going to then he is not going to, I wouldn't bet against him.

Don't worry Izzie, I'll come down to public entrance before 6pm. I am wearing jeans, a black top and a brown jacket and have shoulder length hair. You won't miss me, and as its a Friday after hours, don't think there will be many people about!!!!!

Apparently there are other tables booked in the restaurant tonight - so we wont feel lonely.

Izzie, I'd hide and then when you spot them and realise what sort of shiftless riff raff your potential companions are, you can leap into your car and hightail it outta there!!!

Charming Poppy!!

Do you realise you will be the sole mod tonight who is not coming!

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 23 Mar 2007, 16:46

Yes, I've just PM'd you to complain about that!!

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 23 Mar 2007, 16:56

Gilo is excepted from the riff raff label as he seems to behave himself at nights out.........

If you are thinking, "I wonder if this is the right party," then I can assure you that you are with the wrong party!

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 23 Mar 2007, 17:37

Izzie

Pop and Porty are wearing matching shirts in their favourite colour

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 23 Mar 2007, 17:44

But not in that order!! But still bad enough to frighten children and small animals!!

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 24 Mar 2007, 02:51

was great,, good company and lots of fun will post later

bearcub · Post by **bearcub** » 24 Mar 2007, 03:03

Great to meet you Izzie. It was a good night...although the alcohol consumption wasn't quite up to usual forum lunches (we did only manage to make the alcohol 50% of the bill

).

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 24 Mar 2007, 08:29

Glad to hear you had a good night, look forward to hearing the reports later

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 24 Mar 2007, 13:47

I have a really bad hangover, I'll blame it on the pints of lager I was drinking

in the pub.

Great to see everyone and nice to meet Mr Scoop and Izzie.

If my boss is back after 3rd May I propose a Jun/July lunch. Think the lunches are more decadent.

Mr Scoop, Mr Epykat and Izzie remember and PM your email addresses for the photos in the think pod.
