Well, to be fair, a slang word for our currency is a lot more useful *in* Britain than it is outside it.

A fair point indeed, but a point which doesn't help much when you try to communicate amounts of money to a group which partially consists of foreigners...

You're in the minority as a foreigner-that-is-not-residing-in-theUK, Nalle, I already explained it to you so no whiney whine.

Well, Teddy, looks like I'm going to have to spend the next two months practicing my slang until it's second nature to me. By the time the meetup rolls around, less than 10% of my vocabulary will be from the dictionary. I hope you're happy.

So I now have the Friday of the meetup free, which means I should be able to come down earlier in the day. Earliest possible time of arrival is quarter past one - with the more likely one being an hour after that as tickets are far more restricted on the earlier service.

So, Strawberries, I'm assuming that means I'll be getting into Glasgow first

One Sunda morn young Lambton went
A-fishing in the Wear;
An' catched a fish upon he's heuk
He thowt leuk't vary queer.

But whatt'n a kind ov fish it was
Young Lambton cudden't tell-
He waddn't fash te carry'd hyem,
So he hoyed it doon a well

Whisht! lads, haad yor gobs,
An' aa'll tell ye aall an aaful story,
Whisht! lads, haad yor gobs,
An' Aa'll tel ye 'boot the worm.

Noo Lambton felt inclined te gan
An' fight i' foreign wars.
He joined a troop ov Knights that cared
For nowther woonds nor scars,

An' off he went te Palestine
Where queer things him befel,
An varry seun forgat aboot
The queer worm i' tha well.

There's more, but I don't want to fill up the thread.

The best I can do that Friday is being on half a day, so it's a fair assumption.

Do you want to book the room?

Booked and confirmed. There was only a single twin room left when I checked from my phone, at which point I just booked it.

£56 for two nights, paying on arrival

**Aotrs Commander** · 2014-05-16, 04:05 PM (ISO 8601)

It's probably only a miniscule chance (especially because I never think if these things until the eleventh hour) but if anyone happens to be going to the Triples wargames show over the weekend, I will be putting our (that is the KB Club, our little wargames group) usual show game/demo/thing/wosit on (sci-fi 144th with 3D printed gubbins).

a "quid" is one of those pink notes.

Awesome!

Are you alright with me giving you my share when I arrive? Otherwise I'm sure I can find some way to get it to you before.

My thoughts immediately go to the pink post-it notes one of the other groups have put up on the wall next to their table in our project room...

**factotum** · 2014-05-19, 06:42 AM (ISO 8601)

I think the joke was that he was going to persuade Teddy that a "quid" is £100 and thus get a lot more money out of him...

**FinnLassie** · 2014-05-19, 07:31 AM (ISO 8601)

Nah, I think we'd better talk about squids if we want to fool Nalle.

Don't worry, it'll get better.

**Archonic Energy** · 2014-05-19, 09:46 AM (ISO 8601)

Just booked my flights and work holiday.

Mark me as maybe.

Also: why the smeg is it cheaper to fly than train? An 8 hrs bus is... beyond my patience.

The lambton Worm?

That is such a great tale.

Edit: Thanks so much for the video

**Delusion** · 2014-05-23, 02:14 AM (ISO 8601)

Hey Finnlassie, did you get my reply to your pm?

**KuReshtin** · 2014-05-23, 05:22 AM (ISO 8601)

The subject has been brought up to me that there might be the possibility for a Magic: the Gathering Draft to happen during the meetup.

There's a brand new draft-optimised set coming out in the next few weeks (Conspiracies) that we might be able to track down a booster box for to use for the draft, or, if we can't get hold of that, I should be able to source a booster box of Born of the Gods.

Who would be up for that, either on the Saturday or the Sunday?

Finn's on an adventure right now. Depending on when you sent it, I think the answer is maaaybe.

**The Succubus** · 2014-05-24, 06:58 AM (ISO 8601)

Hey folks - I'm still hunting for some floor space at the meet up or maybe sharing a room. If anyone can help out, I'd really appreciate it.
