    Sounds good Palema - I work M-F 9-5 and seem to lock myself in my house when I get home but I'm free most weekends (sad life I lead) and getting to Edinburgh is no problem. What about yourself?

    Is anyone still at the Standing Order?

    I got there about 3, had a walk around, asked a few people if they were part of the MSE group and got some funny looks.

    Anyone still there? I'm at the internet cafe at the information centre on princes street now. I'm wearing a cream colured jucket with dark blue sleeves. If you saw me loitering around the enterence, you can at least say you saw me :(

    Hope you find the motley crew - I thought they'd be loud :D

    Everyone is - that's the problem :)

    I'm going to macdonalds at the top of princes street, then i'll go back and loiter in the lobby. Hopefully i'll be able to meet someone.

    Time up on the computer.

    Hope you find them

    And be careful re the loitering - don't want to see any news headlines about you tomorrow

    I work Monday to Friday as well, and like you usually free most weekends. I also have the car so can meet anywhere really! Will PM you to arrange to meet up.

    Hi all,

    Just back from the Meet in Edinburgh, managed to find them with the help of Bessie the Brolly! They were a few still there when I left if anyone is popping in around now! Have fun!

    Well I went up to the Standing Order and looked around for over an hour before heading home without meeting anyone. I guess thats what happens when you don't get at least 1 contact number :(

    I hope everyone else manages to meet up and has a great time

    Oh no!! We had a brolly shaped like a cow and everything :confused: We were in the middle family room right at the back...
    Palema - do you live near Edinburgh - I'm in Fife so I'm not that far

    Maybe we could meet another time?
    Ooh, can I come too?

    Was really nice to meet you - I'm just home too and having Super Noodles for tea (hmmm....could do better really!) then heading to bed.

    George - sorry you couldn't find us...next time we'll arrange a time and place to meet for those without phones.

    I had a lovely time tonight, thanks to those who I met! You were all lovely and it was nice to meet so many of you!

    The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned...

    Glad you guys all had a good time and hope you're not too drunk

    Just a wee question - was the standing order expecting you or were they stunned???
