Re: Christmas Clan Gathering

ok i've gone and broken a trend of a lifetime and actually had an idea..

all we would need to actually make this work ooohhh cat people, is a dedicated driver/car from each area to put their hand up and say 'i'll do it, i'll stay sober and pick people up and drop them off' (this could be a meeting point or direct to everyone's home.

so we have:

Area for venue:
Edinburgh

Attendees:
Bibio (DD)

Dedicated Drivers:
Bibio (Fife)

Date:
20-12-09

Re: Christmas Clan Gathering

Working on the 20th :(

22nd? 30th? Go on...

I can't stay sober and drive, I just can't but it don't even matter. If it's in Edinburgh, Mr Stephenson has proposed a connected series of vehicles for the general public that move along a permanent way to transport passengers from one place to another. He intends to call it a 'train' and the last one back to Glasgow will leave at 23:30. I'll definitely be drunk by then and so will all the other Weegies, so that's us sorted.

Capital idea by the way. :smt023

I would have went, but the 30th is a bit too close to the 31st and the 31st is the start of a three day bender and my liver cant take a four day bender as I'm getting past it . :smt030

Re: Christmas Clan Gathering

meeting points (you lot decide):

Black Bull Tavern, Carlton Road (back entrance to Waverley)
The Cafe Royal, West Register Street (across from Waverley main Princess Street entrance)
The Standing Order Wetherspoons, George/Rose Street (roughly about the middle of George Street or Rose Street Lane North)

arrival time: i was thinking about 7'ish.

the idea is to 'crawl' along rose street heading towards haymarket station hopefully arriving at about 11:15pm

20-12-09 01:10 PM

Re: Christmas Clan Gathering

the standing order gets my vote...

dont think we have time to eat anyway. 4 hours then home.:smt030

standing order is not that central considering most peeps will be coming on the train anyway. i was going to sugest the cafe royal but i'm a snob at heart.

oooooorrrrrrrrr we could just stick to one pub which is less of a hassle.

black bull used to be a 'gothy/biker' pub and is within EASY walking distance of the waverley. its also about 2 minuets from the omni centre.

there are loads of pubs within easy walking distance to the waverley including cockburn street 'folk pubs', blair street 'cafe/weird pub', the royal mile inc the famous 'worlds end'. so as you can see it depends what we want to do on the night.

me i dont care i just want to go out for a night and get a little drunk.

I've been into the Black Bull once, and I didnt particularly like it, felt a bit out of place. Saying that I'll just follow the crowd, if that is where folks want to go. I am inclined to think that stayin in one place would be easier than trying to go from place to place, by the time you round people up and move on and convince the door staff to let you in
you can easily waste a good half an hour if not more.

I dont think I've ever been to the Cafe Royal, or the Worlds End so can't comment.

Re: Christmas Clan Gathering

Black Bull used to be a fairly regular haunt back in the days when I worked in the St James centre - there and the Conan Doyle round the back on York Place.

Either or would be a good place to start - although I doubt I'd be able to make it anyway!

Re: Christmas Clan Gathering

To hang with biker/goth pub. Black bull is awful and the beer is crap. Standing order is ok. Cafe royal much better. Best pub in town by a country mile us teuchters in William street opposite berts bar William st. Also close to waverly. Equally the Cambridge bar is excellent. Two bars on Morrison street are excellent but forgot the name.
