BEAR-STOCK - The Bear and Badger

Elmlea

My wife actually won't be there, she's staying up north for family stuff until the end of that week. Â I'm coming down earlier to split the time between both families because I only have a limited amount of time of, unfortunately.

Unlikely

That's a shame, but OK then.

Tempy, I thrust a beer on you when we went back to Reg's flat.Â You advised me that you didn't like beer and then pretended to drink some so I would leave you alone.

Kazuo

I'll come on the 14th, might well pop along on the 8th or 9th as well, to get my Reg fix.

Tempy

If Edinburgh was closer I'd just nip up, but it isn't. Sigh.

I remember that now Unlikely. You made the wise call Denis to NOT PLAY GAMES. Except the game of hide alcohol in Reg and wreck the Mexican place.

Elmlea

Tempy, 'tis a mere Â£100 on the train and 4 hours or so, you could easily pop up. Â That's probably less than the petrol from Aberdeen will cost me now.

Tempy

A mere Â£100! + Drinking and stuff. Can't afford it the same month asÂ Latitude AND my Brother and my Dad's Birthdays. Pipe dream though, eh? (PS Â£100 is an eleventh of what I earn per month and around fifth of what I have left after everything goes out in a usual month.Â

Still, if I win some dolla...

Yas. Love you Kaz.

I thought we had something Temps.

Unlikely

Hooray, Kaz.

We do but not over a third of my money for a day ;_;

Â£108 returns have been spied, tempting, any proper cheep sleeping spots, am I right in thinking Waverley is town centre, does Google Translate work

Unlikely

Waverley is indeed town centre.Â Check laterooms for cheap digs (although they may not be cheap).

cockbeard

What time -ish you guys meeting Saturday, would be cheaper not to need two nights. Just recalled a metal as fuck chick who I believe is in the 'burgh nowadays, may attempt to blag sofa. Will likely require a scouts honour promise of no rape

Unlikely

Around midday on Saturday is good to aim for - lets people have a drink while we gather then we can go for lunch.Â Unless anyone minds terribly I'm going to suggest somewhere like the Barony for the initial gathering, as it's easy to find and normally reasonably quiet at that time, so we can hopefully get one of the big tables to wait for folk.Â

I am, however, totally open to alternative suggestions.Â I only know bits and pieces of Edinburgh.

Cocko da ladeez choice

Tempy

I do not trust this man's 'scouts honour'

Tempy

Also Elm has gone some way to convincing me. Hrmm.

regmcfly

I'd suggest you probably go down to theÂ Cambridge barÂ for lunch because their burgers are utterly great. If that's so, you might want to meet somewhere near Rose St (right next to Waverley) and work your way down.

Unlikely

Suggestion appreciated.Â Â I think we should do the Rose Street challenge this time.

Couple of recommendations as to where to start. I actually like the AllBarOne on George St (again, right next to Waverley) and it's a nice 'respectable' place to begin. There's also a HUGE Wetherspoons that stretches from George St to a Rose St entrance, so you can go in one side and come out the other. Elm, Temps, Kaz and Frosty have all been there with me before.Â

There's also the Black Rose Tavern for the jukebox, Unlikely.

You won't really get a bad place on Rose St but you may get some surprisingly pricey ones.

I could be Tempted. But I don't like the idea of imposing. I'm just thinking, Latitude makes the weekend impossible, but after September I'll be on my Access Course and not working fulltime. I might need one last hurrah.

Is that your former self?

I still haven't bought my tickets for this, it's quite expensive at the mo, looking like I will need nearly Â£250 for the whole weekend... Gonna have to see how big this paycheck is in a few days :-(

I might be bringing a +1 as well, or is it just guys only? Is there gonna be any other females?

g.man

I will wear a dress if it helps.

regards

Can I have one too?

Edit: quite seriously, if it's available. Â I'm currently looking at taxis back to mum & dad's, or the last train.

Mrs Gav is coming. Â My darling wife may or may not have the chance to come, but will probably be in Aberdeen.

Frosty

When is this happening?

Howdy, Stranger!
