Sorry I couldn't make it. Instead, I watched Carlisle come back from one nil down to snatch a second minute of injury time winner against Yeovil. Great stuff and I managed to score some Cumberland sausage as well, so a successful weekend all round.

I reckon he's still in the queue at the kebab shop. It was pretty long.....

So, did you actually talk to each other with words and sentences or did you take laptops and send e-mails back and forward?

Depends. If it was something private we used PMs....

Hi

This is Jay, so excuse me if I'm a bit behind (no rude replies, please!) - is there going to be a gathering soon?

Do you think we should get a search party together?

Hang on Porty, let's not jump to hasty conclusions.

I see Miyagi are playing tonight... I can't remember what they sound like but I do remember wanting to go to their album launch at the Ark last month. Damn flash player is playing up so can't hear the stuff on their website...

Thanks folks - I thought this was a reasonable proposition when it was bought last year at around £250k. Keep an eye on it. Find that stuff interesting.

mmm, I reckon the place is not busy at all and the owners probably wish they had not bought it ( only my opinion ).
I suspect they are trying to get out while the going is (reasonably) good.
I see their other pub (Rumba in Leith) is also on the market.
Do you think any pubs are busy in this economic climate ? I read somewhere that 3 pubs a day in Scotland are closing down.

My kids all go there and claim that it is always busy- only been two or three times myself.

I wonder how much of that has to do with the ban on smoking? It certainly seemed to make an immediate impact.

Not that I smoke any more...

I could be wrong then, but any time I have passed its always been empty, apart from some Saturday's when they have a band on. However I am sure they will need to pay arond £250 - £300 for a band so they will need to sell a lot of drink on a Saturday just to cover that cost.

What about barrello along beside carlo's chippie. I hardly see a soul in there any time I pass. Again it might get a turn at the weekend ??

It mainly always quiet. Most I've seen in is three tables.
