Heres the plans for the jolly night out:

Date: Friday 28th May
Time: 8pm onwards
Venue: Beehive, Grassmarket, Edinburgh

Attendees:
oracle
bill
wangi (?)
stevie
nighthawk
gerry
robert
Border Reiver (?)

Anyone else care to add their name to the list, all are welcome...

how shoudl we identify ourselves? A secret handshake? The cut of our jibs?

I dont think it will be too difficult. Check the bar for two old men with zimmer frames discussing aviation in Dublin and youve found Bill and Oracle...

Take a flight to PMI, hire a car and head down the coast to Paguera.

Locate the tall white building, near top right hand corner of above pic.

Look seven floors up and you'll find me and my lovely lady sitting on the balcony enjoying a beer and the sea views!

Sorry I can't make it this time, chaps.

anymore gags like that young mr. coates and you'll be buying your own alcopops. *has a nice sit down*

Afraid i'll not be able to make it...

Being coerced by the better half into some do elsewhere...

Just to reaffirm my uselessness... I will be able to make it.

I'll be the guy in the corner with the D hat on.

I should be able to manage a couple of hours there okay.

Not a frequent visitor of the Grassmarket area, is this a Trendy or a spitoon/tosspot/sawdust-on-the-floor pub?

....How much for a pint?.....

I think its a traditional style pub rather than a trendy bar. Bill chose the venue, although i think I may have visited it in the past...

....How much for a pint?.....

ahem, oracle chose the venue, so blame him if it has been turned into a "style" bar.

A bit of a problem lads, just found out that I have to go to a funeral in Cork on Friday.

Sods law, I get a night off from trundling round airports for a few jars and my aunt goes and dies on me. You will just have to have a few pints for me and I will catch up with you all at another time.

As per the Beehive, last time I was there it hadn't got trendy yet so fingers crossed. Apologies all, I was looking forward to meeting you.

O.

sorry to hear that O. Best wishes.

would have been nice to put a face to the name, but there will be other chances. Best wishes.

Not to worry, Bill can describe my astounding handsomeness!

I am sure this will be the first of many social gatherings of the alchoholic variety even if sods law means I can't go to the one I instigated!

Oh, guys it may just be a bittie busy in the pub on Friday night... So what you'll look like?

I need a haricut and will be wearing a brown suede jacket and jeans. That probably describes 50% of the Beehive clientele.... I'll be drinking a pint of guinness that nighthawk will have bought me.

Should we all wear baggage tags or something?

Not wanting to be a pooper, It's 50/50 if I will turn up.

I'll be way-out-west (Glasgow) earlier in the day and I might be delayed
getting back. It depends on what happens out there.

Gerry

I'll be the good looking one with no hair and and a pint of caley for me nighthawk..

Enjoy Yourselves Tonight guys.

Im off to EDI as there is a 747, 777 & A340 all due in @ 20:30

Sorry i can't make tonight.

If any of you are interested in coming along to Jenbels Flyertalk "Meet" in Edinburgh on the 12th and 13th of June check out the following thread on Flyertalk.

Again sorry i will not be there tonight but hopefully you can make it to the FT Do.

Cheers

Be sure to show us the photos Ally, although I have a feeling your camera may suddenly encounter a low battery just as they all land, only to fix itself just after they take off...

For those that have not already left for the beehive, I shall be the tall dark hansome guy at the bar with Jack Daniels in hand. Im wearing a white t-shirt, with black stripe down the arms, and jeans.

See you all there, and for those that cannot attend, we will have a drink for you (65 members, 6(?) attending... very drunk night! )

I knew I had a good reason to leave early as it is 5.25 am and I'm up with the bairn. Nice to meet stevie, wangi and of course nighthawk. When's the next one?

Wheres the Drunken Photos guys?

Apparently Lothian Road ATC spotted a couple of UFOs pursuing an unsteady course in the wee hours. I wouldn't know anything about this of course, having been tucked up in bed early doors.

Sounds like you guys had a good time, pity I missed it though there will be no stopping me next time.

Aye, Gav managed to persuade me into a certain nightclub... Not been in Revolution since it opened up years ago. Covered in foam and the lot...

Rev was having a foam party, so both me and wangi were walking round looking like snowmen. Still managed to meet a few ladies though

Glad you all had a good time! I shall do my best to get along to the next one ... whenever that will be!

welcome back Callum, how was the hol? better than a sweaty night in the Beehive? Impossible....

It was so short you would struggle to call it a holiday ... more a long weekend, although I have to say it didn't feel rushed, which was nice!

Weather was perfect, and bmi flights (there and back) were fine. Come on Flyglobespan, gives us a daily PMI service from Edinburgh and I'll make the switch!!

Better than a night out with you lads at the Beehive ...? Of course, I would have to say "yes", or my girlfriend will give me a slap.

Perhaps the next Taxiwayalpha meet should be at the flat in Mallorca, provided those who lose the toss for the spare bed don't mind kipping on the floor!

Just don't tell my Dad!

If you pay for my flight over there ill quite happily kip on the floor...

Sounds like it could be an expensive weekend!

The Grassmarket it is, then!

Further to my post about the Flyertalk "Meet" in Edinburgh on the 12th of June.

We will be meeting up at the Worlds End Bar at 9.30pm for any Taxiway Alpha members who want to come along. There should be about a dozen of us so just listen out for the Airline chat!!

Again hope you can come along.

Alan

I'd love to make it but will be in Dublin at the beginning of the Bloomsday feshtival. The Worlds End seems to suggest some kind of (very) local bias has been used...

I have no idea what you mean

Aye right. Hope the meet went well, and welcome to the forums ajamieson.
