(northern) scottish peeps

[eventerbabe]

Coss and i were saying the only day how all scottish meet ups tended to be very central belt based :( so come on, those of us a bit further north make yourselves known! coss and i have met up a few times :D would be nice to meet other local NR peeps. by north we are talking aberdeenshire, angus, moray and the like :D

[Troi]

Hi

[Fizz]

[coss]

[eventerbabe]

Hi
I'm in Aberdeenshire, new to this forum. Where are you?:cool:

i'm aberdeenshire too :) and coss is during term time ;)

[jumper_stars]

im here too:D

[Floob]

I was in Aberdeenshire, now stuck in Holland
I think I accidentally met eventerbabe once

[eventerbabe]

ah yes, at the schools day :) i hadn't realised you'd moved away or i'd have got this thread up earlier :(

[coss]

we'll have to arrange a meet-up for us peeps that no one knows where we are (;))

[Floob]

I've got a flight back to scotland on the 2nd of november, not sure how long I will be staying though

[PatchyPony]

hey! Im near Laurencekirk:)

[eventerbabe]

ah, just down the A90 ;)

[Charly-rocks]

I live in Aberdeen too. Would be great to have a meet up :)

[coss]

i make that 8 of us - more than i though :p

[eventerbabe]

and anna101 is moving up here soon. would be nice if she could come along since she'd be new to the area. We must get something sorted but i'm a bit hectic til after the 25th as i'm helping organise/run a pub quiz (coss, you still coming?! ;)).

[coss]

25th.... thats a week today right? if so... yes if i know where it is etc ;)

[eventerbabe]

okay, we should try and get something sorted. where is easiest for everyone to get to? aberdeen gets my vote but can travel :D

[Troi]

Aberdeen is fine for me, but I work through the week so sat sun or evening

[Floob]

Probably Aberdeen for me as well.

[coss]

aberdeen (or keith, elgin, huntly :p) i can't do weekends in aberdeen but can do monday-thursday evenings :)

[Floob]

why Keith, elgin or Huntly ??? (apart from the fact that they are all on the Aberdeen-Inverness train route.)

Anyone have any ideas of where to meet up? I can do 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 9th, 10th november

[eventerbabe]

well, would peeps like to go for a meal or summut like that? There are several places to eat down at the beach boulevard, and it's easy parking for those travelling in. I can do pretty much any time/day :)

[Back2Black]

I would probably be ok to come up as well!

[eventerbabe]

well, we'll have to get our skates on and sort something so floob can come! the 8th i think is a thursday. who's ok for that day? I'm teaching til 6pm that night but am free after labs :)

[Floob]

ME!!!! (obviously)
don't yet know if I cab do later dates, alll dependent upon the next 2 days

[eventerbabe]

well, if you can put up with me sniffling (horrid cold right now!) i'm still ok for thursday. coss, you still interested? or anyone else?!

we'll have to sort something out for a later date for those who can't manage week nights :)

[jumper_stars]

damn only just saw this! I cant make it! sorry!:( would have loved to have done so though!!!

[coss]

[Troi]

I.m coming in to Aberdeen anyway tomorrow but not till after 7pm. I could join you if I may?

[eventerbabe]

ooo.. only just found this again. yes i'm interested will bebo you...

just written a reply! sorry i wasn't about yesterday, i've been off sick. not 100% about tonight as i'm still deaf and coughing up gunk, yuck :(

[coss]

i can't come tonight :( have got loads of uni work to do and need an early night due to lack of sleep. hope some of you do get together and we can organise another meet when everyone feels good and aren't busy.

[eventerbabe]

anyone still up for a meet up? since it's getting to that time of year, could have an xmas meet up/meal? finally shifted my lurgie but fear coss may be it's next victim!

i fear i am the next victim too :( meh... would love an xmas meet up meal, and hopefully i'll have shifted the *blugh ich* bug by then or it won't be at full strength :p:o think i should get on with the homeworks- get them out of the way (2x physics, 2x maths all continuous assesments + "other exercises") hmmm... i'm such a procrastinator, tonight anyone? ;)

[eventerbabe]

ok, i'll get busy looking at potential eateries :D (really just trying to avoid doing any work today :p). Who's up for it? can't just be coss and i?!

[Floob]

I'm still around, don't know for how long, but if Im in the area Im definitely up for a meet up

[coss]

any dates and places in mind???

[eventerbabe]

i'm pretty free most evenings, with the exception of mondays (i teach til 6 so am knackered after that!). Venues, well, i still think somewhere at the beach would be good, easy parking too ;) i love TGI Fridays, or Frankie&Benny's. But i'm open to suggestions! Saigon on crown terrace is nice, and parking not too bad. It's about £18 for all you can eat!

i haven't got any suggestions as i don't know anywhere :o i have heard of Frankie&Benny's so at least thats a start :p

[Floob]

I like TGI fridays. haven't been for ages though. I will probably be coming by bus if I do, anyone know whether there are buses up towards the beach from union street? (yes I lived about 30 mins from Aberdeen for about 5 years, but I don't know things like this)

i am told by my flatmates that there is a bus that heads towards asda, 14A, runs about every 15minutes :)

[eventerbabe]

Yep, the 14A is the asda bus. Would it be eaiser for you floob if we did a lunch thing? i know buses out to your neck of the woods can be a bit of a nuisance!

Since floob and i both approve of TGI's, how about we go there? anyone not been you can peruse the menu here

putting it mildly. Last time I tried to get a bus out it disappeared - never even got to the bus station. Had to hang round aberdeen for 1 hour with no money and a huge bag.

Im quite happy with either as long as I know I can get back 'home'. Lunch would probably be easier for me to get to though

[eventerbabe]

would anyone be up for lunch then? i can easily do that as i've no set timetable so can get out of work whenever.

[coss]

i'm free monday - thurs most of the time. finished by 13.00 mon, 11.00 tues, 12 wed and 13.00 thurs providing i'm not doing homework with friends. have a fair bit of work to get through until wed but could do lunch probably tues, wed, thurs next week or whenever :D

[eventerbabe]

well, tuesday would be ok for me. monday i teach at 3pm so need to prepare beforehand and weds i usually have departmental seminars at 12. anyone else?

[Floob]

free any day, I think tuesday would be Ok for me

[coss]

tuesday is ok for me too :D thanks for the link EB. Just looking at the menu now. still ok for me to get a lift with you?

[Floob]

nobody else???

[coss]

ok.... so when are we lunching? Have spoken to Eventerbabe and she can't do tomorrow now :( I can't do next tuesday as i have the farrier (he better come this time !!!) thursday anyone? after 13.00?

[eventerbabe]

i'm not sure about this thursday. I'll know better tomorrow once dad and i have attacked the troublesome washing machine!!

[eventerbabe]

Right, we should fix a date before christmas! are we agreed lunch so ease floob's travelling? How about next thursday?

[coss]

next thursday lunch is fine with me. i finish uni at 13.00 so could do lunch straight after that (allowing travelling time). still TGI fridays?

[Troi]

Sorry folks can't do lunch perhaps we can meet up again later in the evening or wkends

[coss]

monday to thursday evening is fine for me most weeks but i can't do next tuesday as i have the farrier then

[coss]

next week is my final week before the xmas hols. will be back in january after that... any more updates on when people can manage. i'm up for mon-thurs evenings or mon-thurs lunch...

[eventerbabe]

well, we gotta do something before you finish for xmas coss!! lunch next week? mondays and wednesdays are not good for me as i'm teaching and on school placement, but tuesday or thursday would be fine!

[coss]

tuesday or thursday are fine with me. i finish at 1pm on a thursday so would have to be a late lunch... finish 11am tuesday so would be a normal lunch time then.
