Arty is on the Glasgow flight as well.This is typical Globespan.
It's a pain because it's the only direct flight from Scotland.
Sorry you'll miss the day oot Nix's, but there'll be others.

Enjoy Halifax when you get here

Maybe wrong guys, but just looked on the flight information for Glasgow Airport and the status says Taxied? does one presume that that means they are finally leaving? think I had the right flight? originally it said that the flight was due to depart at 10.30 lets all keep our fingers crossed for them

Have a great time tomorrow. I am on the night shift tonight so I won't be able to make it. It looks like you have booked good weather though.

Have fun.

I am off Mon/Tues (working 3-11 Wed/Thurs) and off Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon (my only weekend off a month). Hoping to also meet up with Kazbob before she heads home. Hope we can all work something out! J, are you on Facebook?

I came back from MA and NYC 9 days ago and have worked every day since bar one. Since then I have had visitors up from Halifax, went to the NG Jubilee 3 nights running, the Dragonboat races and 2 other outdoor concerts - I am well knackered.

Who says rural living is boring? I guess I will rest when I'm deid

/Shudder, no.. wild horses couldn't drag me onto Facebook

We stopped for a short visit to the Dragonboat races yesterday (I didn't realise it was on, otherwise we'd probably have gone there for a few hours).. how did it go, did you win?

I didn't paddle this year because I was working but our Special Olympics team did win

Facebook - I only have limited friends on there. No-way would I have 100s of nosey parkers tracking my moves

Facebook is just a mass marketing tool. Its a tool of the marketing devil, damn facebook anyhow, I was on there and right arund 400 friends ya cant hardly think cause your reading about yer buddy barrys latest bowel movement or how sally couldnt choose the right shade of bloody beige for her walls, or cory farted in the elevator. And heaven forbid you get to miss what sallys sisters brothers aunt said about the guy who lived next to the guy who knows the guy that married britney spears. People want you to join everything nowadays... like Costco.. they make you pay to belong to a store. Some guy even tried to get me to join a Juice club...juice? o.o ??? This forum is the last thing im joining ... at least for this month anyhow.

Hi all,
yes you guessed it the curse strikes again ,we were on that flight
Just starting to recover in Halifax ,we did turn up at Victoria Park around 4 pm .
I reckon we passed by you guys what a group ::,,unfortunately Alison was absolutely shattered and is pretty shy at the best of times and i am afraid she bottled out of meeting up with everyone
We are going to potter about Halifax today and probably go to the pool and the Cinema due to the Hot weather

Fingers crossed we get to see some of you guys this trip,we are at the Marriott Harbourfront till Thursday morn ,still have to book for the next 7 days.
Cheers Arty and the shy ones

bloody flyglobespan, unfortunately are known for this a bit.

I get requests for 'fb friends' from people I never even really spoke to back in the UK so why on earth would I speak to them now I keep my friends list down to under 40 people. It's on a need to know basis
