Better make sure you hold hands so as not to lose one another!

Believe it or not, we tried to get into the Figgates Wynd........and were refused

Me and Sandra have now retired, but the last I heard was that POL was going to hit the 'Plough'. Good luck to them!!!!

BTW this post took a few edits before the spelling was right (ie, made sense!!!!)

My head hurts but at least I had the foresight to take today off work. Hope everyone got home safely. It was good to meet you all and many thanks to Porty and Pal of Porty for making last night possible. They even had a cake! I know wangi got some photos - can't wait to see them. Hope he got one of Porty wearing that hat.

I was wondering if you could do me a huge favour in the future...no pressure!

If youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re ever passing, could you get a digishot of 30 Bath street (top floor adjoining 36 bath street) or 41 Bath Street... I would love to show the wife where I was brought up! Anyway great to see the PoL Gang.... and yes Karin of course I remember you!! its the rest im trying to work out.....

I had fun too!! Was in the 'boys' office this morning to collect my photos and it's all nice and tidy - Portly claims he went in at 8.30 a.m to deal with the evidence!

Decided to take today off and have even been to Johnny LouLou's and Sainsbugs. Nice brisk day to clear the head!! [Although it looks as though it's about to piddle with rain.

]

Nice photos, Wangi - but where's the one of the bottles!!

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 12 Nov 2004, 15:46

Oh gawd no! Didn't remember that one. I thought there was another group shot with you in it. Get it off, quickly!!!!!!

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 12 Nov 2004, 15:51

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 12 Nov 2004, 16:41

But I saw the picture, Marya. Pity I didn't save it or print it off or something!?

Some of us managed to get up at 5.30am and get into work you know!

I'm sure I was still drunk.
I haven't been in that kind of a state at work since I used to over-indulge at Tiffanys on Monday nights many moons ago.
I just can't take the pace these days.

Jamesie · Post by **Jamesie** » 12 Nov 2004, 20:23

You weren't alone ecm! Now getting ready for more punishment - terrible!

I think it's great that you can find the strength to go out again tonight. I'm very envious.
I shall just sit quietly in front of the tele and continue rehydration!

Oh, to be young again.

I'm just so glad I met you ecm otherwise I'd be thinking I was a schizophrenic posting as two different people! We used to go to T's on a Monday night, get home about 4am, have a bit toast, a shower and then go to work at 8. Luckily my computer was in a corner so I'd have a wee kip for an hour or so and get the other girl to do my work and keep shotty. Probably have Stroodles for lunch...........

Well I for one think it's very commendable that some young people, like yourself CoC, give up some of your valuable leisure time to brighten up a bunch of old crusties night out.
In another twenty years or so you'll be coming to sing us carols at the local twilight home and smuggling us in some bevvy, hopefully.
