Trust me. I'm a doctor.

Well almost. Pending the final approval of the postgraduate studies committee, but the viva is passed with minor corrections. Good.

For anyone around the burgh at the moment, I'm thinking of going out for a beer or two on Thursday in celebration. Anyone know a fun club to go to in Edinburgh on a Thursday?

Probably going for a drink or two in Finnegan's Wake on Victoria street beforehand from around 9ish. It's lots of fun there. Unless I've been lied to through song.

[DesignatedDriver]

i've been told the Liquid Rooms puts on a small gathering on Thursday nights.

can't quite remember what its called, but i have heard one or two people saying its alright....

Write the theme tune, sing the theme tune....

[brooner]

i'm game, or rather i hope there are a few to play at said club.

i hope to be celebrating that its my last day of work, but if not i will just have to face one more day of tedium and then a train journey north avec one stupid sized hangover.

pre-going out drinks at mine anyone?

[rocky]

ooh i could be persuaded.

will we be popping becks' liquid rooms cherry?

[brooner]

i'm sure pyrat could even pick you up as i hope my flat will be free of [nope]ing orienteering equipment once again. hint hint.

[DesignatedDriver]

you shower of [nope]rs!

if it weren't for the fact i have to spend it in Leicester (31C today) training sweaty drivers at 6AM Friday morning i would be there.

be sure and have one for me. (mines a pint of vodka - just ask for Des's usual.)

a little bird told me Tony somebody is the DJ there. and when i say a little bird, i do believe it was his little bird.

have a good night. try and think of me in a room with 10 large men when you are walking home!

[brooner]

hell, you guys were having fun last thursday (some more than others ) which had to be better than last thursday night for us:

after midnight, pitching a tent in the dark, on a marsh, by myself in a hail shower while pyrat & rocky cowered in the car. then attempting to fit 3 people in my "big enough for me and my stuff" 2 person tent which was already on its last legs.

lovely.

[DesignatedDriver]

i'm sure i don't know what you mean.

perhaps Dikalot could clarify...

yes, i had heard you were a tad miffed at having to get so upclose and personal with Pyrat and Rocky.

but in their defense, it was your suggestion to be the little spoon.

[brooner]

but in their defense, it was your suggestion to be the little spoon.

i certainly didn't want to be lucky pierre anyway.

i just got this forward and am planning some research tonight - especially h but very thankfully not j as i have no work to go to in the morning

anyway, eddie is coming out to play, after staring in the pilot for a new comedy game show "who's baby is it anyway" and apparently peterg is up for some banter as well. who else is game? if so gis a ring or pop round after 9 and the drinks shall flow (but only if you bring some).

[PeterG]

Interesting trick to try on drunk people is to make sentences out of random words but get the intonation correct. Their brain will fill in the gaps, especially if theres loud music. I have, in the past, had long conversations with people that meant nothing to me but apparantly everything to them.

have you tried it with people that do mean something to you?

[PeterG]

People mean nothing to me :emo:

In an interesting twist, I no longer have keys to the flat so either I meet up with Eddie or find somewhere else to sleep tonight.

[rocky]

rocky's bikes got no lights and i've just missed a train while looking for lights, so no snatch for me tonight

look forward to some random postings later.

congrats nailest! have a good one for me!

[brooner]

well if pyrat got this [nope]ing kit out of my flat y'could get a lift back in with him, but the chances of that are obviously slim.
