Due to the over whelming feedback, I will not organise one for October and will try do one sometime in the new year.

Hi,
Depending on the feedback I am considering organising the next Scottish Munch for early October. Could people please let me have have their thoughts on whether or not this would be convenient.
J
I am glad that everybody enjoyed it and hopefully I will have learnt a few lessons on how to improve the next one.
J
I have pm tonight everybody who is on the guest list for the munch. If you have not received a pm it means you are not on the guest list, (ie you never confirmed to myself that you would be attending when I notified you that I was putting the guest list together).

Re: post from Steve - Are you gonna pm everybody to tell them that they're on the list? A couple of people have been asking if I've heard anything but I haven't been able to tell them anything.
Ok, will pm everybody who is on the list alhough once I did start putting the list together I did pm everybody who had registered an interest and asked them to confirm they would be attending.
J
I can assure you there are quite a few more going than just steve and celtic.
Just to let people know, I will be 'closing' the guest list on Wednesday 21st July 04
Entry will be restricted to those on the guest list.
Looking forward to seeing you all there.
J
can we get a list of who is all going plz ty
Hi, sorry - but no, as I have told you previously I would not feel comfortable providing a list of those attending. If people wish to pm you letting you know they are going that is there choice. I will not provide their names though without their permission.
Could all the people who have contacted me to register their interest in attending the munch, please PM if you are planning on attending so I can included your name(s) on the final guest list.

I have booked a venue provisionally for the 24th July 2004, in Edinburgh
I will be able to confirm the date next week.
Can those you would like to attend PM me next week and I will let you know the venue details. For obvious reasons I will not be posting the venue details.
Any queries, please ask.
Just to keep everbody informed, I shall be away next week so if anyone does PM me and I do not get back to you, not being impolite or ignoring you, just not there.
Due to the recent problems with the Scottish Munch if acceptable to everybody else I propose to organise one for July 2004.
Could people please let me know their thoughts on this.
If there is positive feed back over the next few weeks I will make the necessary arrangements.
Since Byron appears to have done a dissappearing act would people like me to try and organise a munch for some time in July ?
Are people forgetting that driving should be regarded as a luxury, if you think petrol prices are too high - use public transport, or better still, get some exercise and walk.
I have heared all the arguements that public transport cannot offer the same standard as your own car - of course not that is why it is cheaper.
Oil companies are there to make profit, they are commercial businesses. Oil is finite resource and therefore will go up in price as resources are used. Plus they will charge what they think people will pay.
Haulage companies complain about the increases in fuel prices, the obvious option is for them to increase their prices, the only problem with that, for their point of view, is that people would start taking an interest in their profit margins.
I have a car but I still make the effort to try and use public transport / walk where possible - you should try it - you might even enjoy the walk.
Apologies for this little rant, I do get very annoyed about people complain about fuel prices. So many other things in the world that we should be complaining about but because it does not directly effect us - we do nothing.
A possibility for a head stone would be to have a very large stone, with, in the midlle of it, writing so small that you have to get right up close to it to read it saying, 'Get off my grave'.
In his war memoirs Spike Milligan referred to a head stone which said, 'Not dead, just sleeping', and one of his friends quipped - 'they are fooling no one'
One of the things you will need to be aware of is the after care treatment. People tend to react differently to different treatments. The best advice is to go to a reputable piercer and follow the advice they give you.
Betty Rubble was truly sex and I suspect amazing in bed, why else do you think Barney always had that lobotomized smile on his face.
On a seperate note, Mickey Mouse was talking with his lawyer about a divorce from Minnie:
Lawyer: "Mickey, I am sorry but just because Minnie has bucked teeth, it is not grounds for a divorce"
Mickey: "I did not say she had bucked teeth, I said she was fucking Goofy".
One of my favourire comedy scenes is from Woody Allens Sleeper when he his being shown around his new apartment, they point out the orgasm machine and he just hugs it like it is his best friend in the world.
The entire episode of Peckham Spring Water from Only Fools and Horses.
Another all time favourite is from Yes Minister, 'Skeleton in the Cupboard'.
Hacker: 'Bernard, Sir Humphrey his not god'
Bernard: 'Shall you tell him or I'.
Simple and classic.
If you are going to read 'Round Ireland with a Fridge', I would recomend you also read, 'Playing the Moldovians at Tennis', also by Tony Hawks and equally good.
Top favourite books, in no particular order.
Felidae - Akif Pirincci, a murder mystery set in the cat world.
Great Apes - Will Self, they say that every one has at least one book in them. After reading Great Apes I came to the opinion that I don't, the man is simply a genius.
The Wimbledon Poisoner - Nigel Williams, a very funny book about a man trying to murder his wife. Not a premise that lends itself to humour but Williams does it.
Vintage Stuff - Tom Sharpe, every character was a perfect. Provided a definition of a climbing crampon that I have never forgotten.
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame - Victor Hugo - No justification necessary.
The Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Leroux. Skip the musical and films, just read the book, as is usually the case the book is far better.
The Yes Minister Diaries - Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay, a must for anyone interested in British politics.
