There's a few it seems from here gong to see Billy Connelly - I managed to secure Anns spare tickets and as my hubby can't be there there's another expat making the trip up. 'Ol Mistress Miggins!!!!!

So the Migs and I will be staying over in Calgary that night (maybe getting a tad tipsy after Migs???!!!!!) and I know obviously Ann M and Piff Poff are going too.

Soooooo we just wondered if any Calgary Expats fancied meeting up for a bevvy (cough cough or 6 cough cough) after the show ?

I have to be on the road at about 7am so I won't be partaking in much, but I can do fun without beer too and I am definitely sharper minded for mischief and merry making without the hard stuff!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to meet everyone

A giddy
Mrs M x

Actually I won't be far behind you leaving early anyway lol

Just wanted to add that Ann M and PP are going to see Billy - don't know if they want to have any bevvies after or not!!!!!! It just read as though I was talking for them lol - sorry ladies

Do me a favour and watch out for diced carrots and tomato skins: according to Billy they always pop up (so to speak) even if you haven't eaten them for days.

Also, don't try drinking a pint of creme de menthe!

has anyone tried drinking creme de menthe anyway - let alone a pint?

I would very much like to join you for a bevvie or three. However, I will be with a car of five people, and I'm not sure I could speak for them - and/or drag them along too, and/or slip away politely! Leave it with me ...

A choc pop shooter = creme de menthe topped with Baileys.

Enjoy!

*I accept no responsibility for anyone else's actions after partaking in many of the above mentioned shots.

Same here, we are going with others and I don't know what they will think, we'll see.

now starting to panic about getting lost Is this place easy to find and can we park anywhere near?

I'll be driving down on my own (actually might plead with the hubby to use his truck and he can have my crappy car for the day that way I can put the satnav on seeing as the cigarette lighter doesn't work in mine so can't plug it in) and really have no sense of direction - once that hurdle is our of the way I can totally relax then

There is parking right there and it's really near the Calgary tower, It's on a corner - I'm thinking near that pedestrianised street, but would have to double check....

http://www.epcorcentre.org/en/Visito...ndParking.aspx So yeah it's on the corner of Stephen Ave. You'll find it no probs

There is underground parking attached to the Centre. You access it from Macleod Trail just north of 9th Avenue. (I parked in that parking lot every workday for 14 years!!) The front of the Centre faces Olympic Plaza on Stephen Avenue Mall.

It's one of BC's skits - the Scotsman in Rome asks a barman to give him a pint of whatever the Pope drinks.

Diced carrots and tomato peels appear towards the end of the skit!

It's funnier in a wee Glesga accent.

precisely!
