Re: RC Glasgow Meet 13th-14th October 2007 - P & O

Hi -

Right Other Half (Julian B) you leave Gordon alone - he;s OK. F's and blinds a bit but that man gave me a personally cooked souufle at Good Food Show  in 2005 so Ok in my book! ( and I did share with me mates) was delish! (So leave him alone)

Loads to see Glasgow wise and actually the proposed point - Peeps palace is a good place and handy for a lot of places. If peeps are into the Paisley side of weaving (paisley pattern and all that) let me know cos could arrange for trip to weavers cottage in Kilbarchan (my mum didn't work for council for nowt) and ditto could sort out something in Paisley.

However loads to see in Glasgow but I would say anyone coming from afar who wants to book slot at records office in Park Circus (the Glagow version of GROS) book as soon as we have dates cos it's like putting kids name down for  Eton getting in there.

Book ahead and only open mon -fri!


Lookng forward to meeting you all

Annx

Blimey Gadget, the only Scots I know is "Och aye tha noo"    Guess I'd better start brushing up on the ancestral tongue (mind you they were all from Moray, so they probably spoke a different dialect or something).

not forgetting one widely used all over god's country, and should be one of the first things to learn.

Thanks Stephen.  I'm putting together a phrase book now    How does one say "my postillion has been struck by lightning"?

pos·til·ion also pos·til·lion Pronunciation (p-stlyn, p-)
n.
One who rides the near horse of the leaders to guide the horses drawing a coach.

not too many horse driven coaches around Glasgow 

although in some of the more "distinctive" areas they may refer to them as "meals wae wheels"

You won't need to know that phrase since Gadget and Julian have promised nothing but the finest weather while we visit.
