Hi Elaine. Not sure but I will look up bus times and pm you my phone number. Like the thought of an armhole-less tank top. Carol

Well if I wore that you would definitely know it was me! But unluckily for the world it went in the bin in 1983! Got your PM thanks. 🙂
 
4 sleeps to go. 3 days to work. Yipee. Really looking forward to Glasgow meeting you all. Did we decide where the clock is???
 
Why not meet under the statue of Wellington? You can't miss him with that hat on.
 
Is he in George square Alison?

I've only got today and Friday to work, is the weather going to hold up? Should we meet at Wellington then? Seems like we shouldn't be able to miss him! I will text you when I arrive into Central. Elaine
 
That would be fine for me Elaine. I will text when I arrive at bus station. 2 sleeps to go, and 2 days to work.... Looking forward to meeting you all
 
Have a good time everyone who is going and enjoy yourselves. 🙂
 
I am eternally sorry folks. I had intended to make it but am going to be stuck in a power Station at Connah's Quay in North Wales where they have an outage this weekend and I need to be on call. They only told me this afternoon and my company cannot afford to turn away the potential work that this outage may offer. I can only humbly apologise again and wish you all an exceptional time.

To be perfectly honest there are few things in life anymore that can drag me out of my own routines. Curiously this event was one of those increasingly rare occasions. I feel as strong a sense of community on this forum as I have ever felt anywhere in my life. With that in mind it really really irritates me to have to back out at the last minute. This particular client however is a regular user of my company and if i refuse they will just pick up the Yellow Pages and call the next engineering company on their hit list. They can be extremely demanding in that respect. I have worked hard to bring them to a stage where my company is the first one they ring. Trading times are not that easy and I cannot gnaw off the hand that feeds me:(

Hi,and your reasons for not coming to forum are certainly understandable, I am not a particularly good "joiner" and am surprised that I have no worries about coming along to meet "strange" people. I will raise a glass to absent virtual friends and hope we all have a good time. Who knows, sometimes I may brave a meeting in the bad lands south of the border- in fact I am going to Birmingham in July
 
A couple of people who have said they might be coming but haven't heard from for a bit: @Diadav99 and @Alba37 - hope you can still make it along 🙂 Plus, of course anyone who has decided last minute 🙂

See you all tomorrow 🙂
 
I'm still coming. Gonna miss your jokes diabetic liberty.
 
Sorry I can't go but thank you anyway for my invitation. Hope everybody attending has a great time & don't forget all the photos xx
 
Hope you all have a great get together tomorrow 🙂
