This has sort of fallen by the wayside, but I think it’s about time to pick it back up again.
The first ever ScotDope is scheduled to be held in Glasgow on 4-6 May, 2001.
In the definitely column (at last call, anyway), we have:
[ul]
ruadh
Celyn
eirroc
Iguana Boy
RickQ
[/ul]
y’all still here???
And what about you maybes?
[ul]
Spiny Norman
mattk
Nicko
Tansu
kferr
hibernicus
fierra
android209
casdave
[/ul]
and of course anyone else who wants to come along is welcome (with a few exceptions, but they probably know who they are :D)
fairly unlikely for me…but I’ll keep you informed if the situation changes (& yes, I should have recovered from Amsterdope by then :p). Recovered from our drunken phone call to Spain yet?
I won’t be in Scotland again until Christmas. I’ll fly into Glasgow & rent a car; drive up to Skye. I graduated Portree High School & Glasgow School of Art. Mum still lives up there, so I visit about every year or so.
I will probably be able to make it on those dates.
However, could you keep me in the maybe column for now?
OK. I have a slightly hysterical question.
Would anyone else other then me be travelling to or from a rural area? I’m probably being way over cautious about the Foot&Mouth risk. I understand it’s fairly safe to travwel between urban areas, but I’m shy of travelling from one rural area to another. This rural to urban journey needs thought. The train journey I’d take would have to go through Carlisle, where new infections are springing up on a daily basis. Now I imagine that anyone who’d been in contact with any farm would be sensible enough not to immediately jump on a train without changing his boots first (if he hadn’t already been disinfected). Also, the preemptive cull will have taken place by then.
I decided not to attend a similar internetty get together this weekend because a farm near my place of work was under investigation last week. Thankfully, they have just been given the all clear, and at the moment, there are no cases of Foot&Mouth south of the Langdales.
I have the time off work and everything. Do we know where we are meeting yet?
I will prolly have to start looking into places to stay in a couple of weeks. If anyone knows the area and could give me some pointers, it would be most appreciated.
and this is where I looked for easy way out and asked on another board! (Is there a “lazy incompetent sod” icon, perchance?) Well, the excuse was in the hope of getting personal recomendations of any kind.)
