Glasgow meet point Sept 26th run

[OlberJ]

Where do folks fancy meeting, the usual spot or make more sense to meet at the Coatbridge Showcase as we're headed out that way anyways.

If we meet at 8am, leave by 8.15am then that should get us over there (wherever the hell we're going) by 9am easily.

I am thinking we should meet at the Showcase and then finish off at the old meet point, which will then allow us to go for the planned beer in town after?

Let me know what you think.

updated for you!

i remember HH09 getting a phonecall from Av saying you hadn't turned up at the meeting point and was worrying you had all gone a completly wrong way!

i'll be up in Glasgow that weekend but will be at a ceilidh the night before, so if i'm up i may pop along and say hi before you all leave!

Olie - gotta be somewhere I can buy a coffee - apart from that I'm easy.

Regarding the beverage after I was intending ditching the car and maybe even washing before meeting somewhere convenient in the early evening....or is this in addition. I know Mr jcarrera doesn't drink except when he's posting ()but some other weegies may be up for bevvy and banter.

[OlberJ]

Aye, we can make it a proper evening drink if you wish. Only worry was that folks may be too knackered post run and not bother to come back out. Mind you, it's not exactly a dawn raid!

If we meet at Showcase there is Maccy D's there if that will suffice on the coffee front?

Meeting at Showcase sounds fine, won't make apres-run drinks, think I'm
off to see Logan playing that night.

I can confirm that the Maccy D's coffee at the showcase is actually pretty good first thing in the morning there, even on Sundays.

I'll actually be driving over from Dunoon that morning, so may arrive with huge grin if I've had some fun coming up loch fyne and over the rest and be thankful and down loch lomond early on a sunday morning.

More fun to be had along Loch Eck if you don't mind the risk of swimming if it goes wrong.

That is the actual road I'll be doing! The only hairy bit is where one of the pubs has a car park right on the edge of the road - you have to be a bit careful of people reversing straight out at you. But I don't think they'll be up at 0700. It'll be nice to be on my own, as I scared my townie driving mate and my missus on the way down there on saturday - they couldn't see what I could and didn't like my overtake in missus' volvo. First time it's been over 3000rpm in a while!

That's the Coylet - very nice for lunch..
Thats the first road I went down on my own after passing my test and its still one of my favourites - lots of my P600 rubber on it from when I was young and fearless (see first car thread).

We can come up with a plan during Si's 5 course lunch.............

I'm also going to Logan gig that evening along with PHer Gary Morgan, it's only £7 a ticket if anyone fancies some proper rock music?

And Barry I'll have you know I drink all the time, not just when posting....

But never when driving or late the night before a PH run kids!

There’s a lot of good gigs on the 26th. Imelda May at the ABC and Lou Hickey at Oran Mor.

Not sure yet whether I’ll make the run, but I’ll be going to see Lou Hickey on the night. If I’m awake early enough in the morning, I may well pop down to see you guys off anyway.

I think Imelda May has been resheduled to 15 Feb 2011 - top craik if you know what I mean..

Sorry mate must have got you and Kenny mixed up...

See you on 26th - with Alan pulling out I think we are down to only 8 911s and 1 yellow oddy.

[6C4GTS]

Sorry for that one John - you know I can't resist the banter...
Buy you a beer to make up sometime

So it has. Excellent news, means I don’t have to miss it.

Have you seen her new video for ‘Psycho’? Bit high-budget, all that PVC and mood lighting.

[6C4GTS]

Assuming that Si's start time is 0900 a 0815 leave from Showcase should give us enough time to nip round the other runners before 0900 and exchange some insults.
We'll be charging up on coffee and fruitshoot at McDs. Hope to see some of you weegies there.

Sounds good. Time for a bit of Porsche love, coffee and a moment to discuss the quickest way to get Kenny biting! I'll look to get there from 7.45 as I'll quite fancy a full breakfast too! OJ

[OlberJ]

Did someone say full breakfast?

7.45 it is
