I'm planning on being there, Looking forward to it :D
 
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in Glasgow. Long way for you to come Alan, but not much different from up north in Scotland I don't suppose- my geography is terrible- worse than my spellchecking lol

I'm hoping to get a cheap flight Carol. I have been up twice before, but that involved a 13 hour bus journey (each way! 😱) and I don't think I can endure that again! 🙂
 
My wife flew down with Ryanair last week for £32 return tho she booked about 12 weeks in advance.

I will get the bus I think,but it takes about 2 3/4 hours but is free
 
I will be there too.

I'm planning to travel down on the Friday and stay over till Sunday, still working on the logistics but the idea is to hire a powerchair of some sort for the weekend as I wouldn't be able to cope with just Rolly, playing tourist is hard work as I discovered when I went to Edinburgh recently. I know there are steps up to the entrance of the pub but I seem to recall a lift thingy as well, I'll have to call them and ensure it's working. Same corner as before is it?

My memory isn't serving me well, so not sure about the lift. Looking forward to meeting you after nearly 7 years! 😱 🙂

It was to the right of the steps at the main entrance and I would have used it last time, except it was out of order.
 
I'm based in Edinburgh for university and would have loved to come! Sadly I'll be away for summer by then! Hopefully next time?
 
I would have loved to come and meet you all, but with my moblility problems and associated fibromyalgia issues, I won't be able to make it, just a little too far away from me. I am so grateful to be a part of the forum though.. and hope you all have a good meet! 🙂

Sorry you won't be able to make it Carol :( I do wish they'd hurry up and invent teleportaton so we could just 'beam' people along! Not sure if the Tardis is still in Glasgow, if anyone knows his number? 😉

Glasgow for me is a whopping great hike. It would however be interesting to put faces to some of you scallywags and individuals of dubious character. I can not absolutely promise to be there. I can however definitely promise to try my damnedest to be there. If I can make it on the day then it will be my very real pleasure to meet you all. Here's hoping folks 🙂
