Indeed I did have a cunning breaking-the-ice-polite-conversationwise-are-you-mental excuse to mingle at the Glasgow picnic and everybody proved to be very nice so that it was with great reluctance that I left to get a train, having luckily been in town for my best friend's wedding the day before. At least I got to offer Stuart a cheesy stick.... Which inspired the unreleased verse of Fox in the Snow.. "Boy on the streets Handing out eats You've got twiglets, you've got pop You had a bottle but you let it drop Now it's all fizzy..." I won't be there this time but as at Bowlie I'll be with you in spirit. It'll be great fun and I commend it to the list. xx John

Forwarded message from Mistopher Christopher regarding the Saturday Glasgow picnic. In answer to Jygsaw, who posed the frightening question "What do you do at a picnic", the answer is, err, whatever. Last time, we sat around and ate, and then had a wee walk round the hothouses when it started to rain, and then went to the pub. And it was nice. It took about half an hour to actually talk to each other of course, except John Johnstone, who had cunningly had a get-out clause (train to catch) which allowed him to talk to everyone in a charming manner, knowing that he could leave if we all were weird. Which we are not. Not even Stuart Lee, who everyone politely ignored until Chris stole his hat in the pub. And it was nice.
Anyway.. ---------------------------------- Fwd message from Sleeka Sounds / Chris Leonard (they are the same)
Whoops! What I've done there is give directions to the fountain, goodness knows how I managed to get that idea into my head. Now, it should be the bandstand in Kelvingrove park, not the fountain. The bandstand, you hear. You see why we leave this sort of thing to Keith? Sorry about the delay with this. As soon as I realised I had made a blunder, hotmail broke, and I had no email.
Here is a new number 8:
8. Now, if you follow the main path that you are on all the way round you will eventually see the fountain, which is pretty big. But you don't want to go that far - you want to cross the river at the most convient bridge in the park and walk down the right hand side of the park until you see the bandstand. It's pretty big. Just ask someone scary where it is.

I feel really stupid. I don't think I'll go now, you all hate me because I wear glasses. I might just have my own picinic at the fountain. I think I'll go and eat worms.
