After some to-ing and fro-ing, if not to say toeing and frolicking yet, a bunch of us have decided that a nice place for our picnic (that is, the soonest Scottish one, as plenty are going on or are being planned for elsewhere too) would be Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Gardens. 2pm, 15th Sept, 2001.
I popped down there today in the interests of Research, seeing as nobody else seems to have bothered. The large signs by the entrance saying "NO PICNICS" make me think that this is an incredibly stupid idea. I've heard of picnics ending in disaster, but never of picnics ending in disaster before they've even started. Anyone for a sensible, straightforward, soberly-organised picnic somewhere ele in the city? No? No answer? No change there then. Have fun getting thrown out, y'all. xx gneissy +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
