Ken, make FAP plans please. Friday, city centre-ish should be nice. I can be there early doors, and am not going to Pop League. Please please make it city centre so that us out-of-towners can remember to get trains home please.

OK, I'm going to get a ticket tomorrow.

Should I start a thread called "we want ken fap" or would people think I was taking the piss?

haha do it!!

i don't really know pubs around the city centre (not living there and all).. any suggestions? i only know the one on the side of george square.. and one called drum and monkey, which is somewhere. and had a great quiz machine.

Drum and Monkey no longer has a great quiz machine. Actually, to be more specific, it no longer has a quiz machine. Unless they've put it back again since a couple of weeks ago.

When I say make FAP plans, I obviously mean confirm for definite that you are going to be in Glasgow and tell us when you are here, where you are staying and when you want to go to the pub. I finish at 3 on a Friday, which is an excellent time to go to the pub to get seats before everyone else gets out.

My new favourite pub is the Alpen Lodge but it holds, like, ten people.

oh right i see!

i'm staying at the good ol "Albion Hotel" on north woodside road (same road as the 'woody') on friday.. probably get there early afternoon (will be driving down from oop north!), set down the car, probably get a shower to wash away all the camping stench and show my friend around Glasgow a bit before the pub so will probably be ready for boozy action about 4 or 5 or something? Depending on when we get down to glasgow

I'm definitely in. Don't think I've been to NPL since Christmas!

Ken, there is info about ferry/minibus here. Perhaps it's got better since I last went there (about 10 years ago) but the ferryman was a miserable old bugger who wasn't very nice to people (not us) who hadn't booked in advance.
