OK. So let’s say 2pm at Waxy’s. We should have a flag or something, or all wear pink carnations, or…well, it’s hard enough to find someone in that place when you do know what they look like.
Well, I’ve just been reminded that I’m doing the MoRun 5k race for Prostate Cancer that morning, so I may very well turn up with a fake moustache still painted on. Will that help?
Right, so we’re looking for a woman with a moustache. Yeah, I guess that will narrow it down somewhat.

Maybe if i wear a dress, with my long hair it would be like gender swap day
P.s you are so not “painting” on a moustache, just you wait and see

Accompanied by a long haired man in a dress? We’re fine. If it helps, I look like the kind of short, smug little prick you’d expect to find drinking too much and arguing in Waxy’s
Umm, please don’t, and yes I am, I refuse to stick fake fur of any kind to my face. And no, I don’t have a natural one
And I’m officially an idiot - as well as having the 5K that morning, I’ve triple booked and have Bookclub that afternoon, sorry. I can’t decide whether to piss off the fellow members (only 5 of us) by standing them up for about the 4th time this year, and second time in a row, or…
That might have worked - if I hadn’t bitched extensively about one of them in the mini-rants thread
I’m looking into quitting Bookclub and persuading the babysitter to still babysit for me to go imbibe a few beverages with you guys instead. Will update once successful
I hope you do. So who-all is coming for sure? PaulParkhead and I scoped out Waxy’s for a likely location, and found a table on one level that would hold 8 or so people. It’s just down the stairs from the back bar, which is insufficient information for anyone who’s never been in this maze of a place. It’s in the “link bridge” area of the bar, just to the left in this picture: http://www.waxyoconnors.co.uk/images/Waxys/gallery-wxg/8237.jpg If you find the big organ pipes, it’s to the left as you face them, in the corner just past the big tree trunk. This photo shows that area as having two small tables, but when we were there recently, it was one big one: http://www.waxyoconnors.co.uk/images/Waxys/gallery-wxg/wxg-pipes415.jpg Provided they haven’t rearranged the place again by the time we get there, that would probably be a suitable option.
The back bar is just inside the Dundas Lane entrance, and then if you go around the bar to the right, there’s a little stair down to the table described above. If you’re coming in the front entrance, go straight along to the back and the If that doesn’t suit on the day, we’ll have to find some way of contacting folks. Maybe we can leave word at the Dundas Lane bar so people can ask where we’re located.
Since that new job never materialised I’m going to have to forego it this time. Pity. I was looking forward to being in Scotland again and meeting yiz all.
I have a tentatively-agreeing babysitter, subject to colds/toddler tantrums etc. All being well RealOmegaMan and I might be there from noon-ish onwards, once I’ve got my 5K out of the way!
I’ll be there too! I’ll PM a description and a mobile number. I get rather edgy walking into strange pubs looking for strange people… especially the size of Waxy’s.
Far be it from me to call you all a bunch of gits, but believe me I have noted that you wait till 3 months after me moving from Scotland to organise this. You bunch of gits!
