This is very true - a visit is LONG overdue. Also, there are now two pubs on the island (plus one on Easdale). Spoilt for choice, I'd say!JohnS wrote: Time you paid your old lady a visit so we can nip out for a sesh and cure that affliction of yours.
Newbie but feeling old.

I can well believe it John. I've shared quite a few "training" sessions with Mr.Ruck. I have vivid recollections of some particularly arduous training nights down at Le Grenouille in Edinburgh during young Richard's student days. Tired and emotional after a long night it was not uncommon to find him banging his head on the table in time to the driving rhythm of the resident jazz band.J.R. wrote:He's still in training, JohnS - Believe me !!!

.... but please try not to get all lost again, otherwise the party venue will be difficult to locate.Ruthie-Baby wrote:Well I'm calling it a whisky drinking party.Great Plum wrote:I was trying to work out if there was an excuse for the party!
But I think I see what you mean. There's no birthday, anniversary, new year or anything, it's just a party at which to drink.
