Okay what I was thinking was to start off somewhere we can all sit down and eat, Mairi seems to think there is a restaurant place near the Standing Order...do you know fo this place Bubbles?

Anyway after stuffing our faces (and drinking) we can then move onto the 'Standing Order' for nice cheap beer (by which time is should not be heaving so bad as it is at the start of the night!). Then maybe go over to the 'Walkabout' for some more drink...then its up to you guys, there are plenty of late night pubs for more drinking...or there are numerous clubs (some more dodgy than others) if anyone would prefer a boogie.

What do you think?

Mairi seems to think its called 'The Island' will consult the rampant alchoholics in our IT department to find out. Sounds a good idea about the Walkabout..kinda a fitting place really all things considered.

The Island is on the corner of Iron Gate, not the greatest places I have to admit but OK for a swift half . If its food you're after I don't think they do any on Saturday nights. And even if they did it would be an experience :scared:

Ok will look at Fat Cats availability and will give them a very approximate number of people, not promising anything though as previous experience of trying to book Fat Cats on a Saturday has been a nightmare (even months in advance).

Will keep you all posted.
