Gretna Green

['Shy]

So we're going up to Gretna on Thursday. Anyone recommend a cheap place to eat or anything to do there?

 

[Calaen]

Get Married ofc and then


Eat in the car on way home.

 

['Shy]

Can't get married again, I'd go to prison for bigamy

 

['Shy]

So no suggestions at all? Anyone ever been??

 

[yaruar]

Um, drink beer and eat haggis.

No idea though, only ever been to the civilised bits of scotland (well if you discount glasgow that is)

Actually technically I've only ever been to glasgow and even then that is tentative as I barely remember my week there.

Although I'm planning a trip to edinburgh in a few months on the way to t-in the park.

And as for aberdeen... A previous company had an office up about 1 hours drive from aberdeen and I almost got lumped into doing a week up their sorting their systems.

I of course refused on religious and moral grounds.

Sit next to a fire in a pub and get pished. I know it has been said already but GODDAMMIT, just do it!!

 

['Shy]

Mmh next to a fire in a nice cosy country pub sounds lovely. I just hope we don't get into fights with huge ginger Scotsmen with fluffy beards And actually, more than anything, I really hope I can understand what the hell they're saying!

Chances of you getting into a fight : 35%
Chances of your b/f getting turned into a greasy crimson paste at the hands of some burly scotsman : 79%
Chances of understanding the local language : laughable %
Chances of me becoming the Scottish Public Enemy no.1 after this post : 99.9%

Err who?

Anyways, I guess this is my last post for a while. I won't make a goodbye thread, as it's only 3 days, I'll miss you guys loads, and look after Dave for me! Contributions will be gratefully received, as I'm sure she will be starving by the time I get back

 

[Brynn]

Tarra shy - take care and see you soon

If the scots hated everyone they lost at sport to they wouldn't have a friend in the world!
