Rice Rocket Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Dave, is that the pub just up from Sommerfields? What time in there then? Ricey
Bladerider Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 You can't miss it, its less than 100 yards north of the Taj on the opposite side of the road. It's a nice wee pub. Depending on train times, I'd reckon on being in the pub for an hour prior to the time booked for the Taj. Has a table been booked yet?
derek_robertson Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 YESSSIRRREEEEE Table booked,12 names at present but have indicated that there could be more. We could meet up at Flanigans at 5pm for some refreshments then head across the road to the Taj restaurant for 6 - 6.30pm Cheers, Del
billyboy Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 where abouts in prestwick is this pub guys?

dougster Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 I have no means of getting back home so I won't be making this one after all. Is there NO one driving back to the Glasgow area?
derek_robertson Posted December 28, 2004 Author Posted December 28, 2004 Thought you were staying at Big Andy's place Dougster? Scared those boys might "Duff" you up? Del

Not that i am paranoid but whats the parking like and does the table that is booked look over the floodlight,cctv,barrier controlled car park?
Bladerider Posted December 28, 2004 Posted December 28, 2004 Dougster, if you don't want to take Andy up on his offer, there's always public transport. I'll be getting the (Glasgow) train home. I believe it heads towards the Glasgow area.

keap_scooby2 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 steve, are you sure that was the curry and not any booze you may have had ? wish we could have gone but with the wee one it would have been a late one.
corsa Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Glad you guys enjoyed the night,After departing somewhat early to take Shaz home,pains got worse and had to take her to hairmyres A&E.After waiting 2.5hrs to get seen turns out aint indigestion but serious kidney infection. Oh well at least an excuse for another curry night when she gets better Happy new year to all when it comes.
dougster Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Dave, pass on my best wishes to Sharon and I hope she get's better soon. Wilky and I had our own little meet and toured the scrap yards of Glasgow and ate earlier in my village. The good news of the day is my radiator is repaired and ready to go in and I have a new PS pump and tank ready as well.
derek_robertson Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 Hi Folks Good turnout lastnight,grub was excellent as usual although the service was crap!!! Hope Shaz recovers soon Davie,all the best to everyone for newyear. Did you catch that train Dave? See ya soon, Del
Bladerider Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Any time I ever go out using public transport it's always my intention to aim for the second last train. As always, I leave it till the last possible moment and might miss it. So there's always the last one. So last night was no exception, yep I missed it. So anyway I was faced with a 40 minute wait at the station. The waiting room was locked and the wind and rain were coming towards the platform so there wasn't really any shelter. By the time the train was due (23:05) there were 8 other passengers. By the time the train was 15 mnutes late I was freezin ma nuts off. I pressed the intercom button only to be told the train was delayed and may possibly be cancelled altogether. He'll get back to us in a couple of minutes with any updated information. ten minutes later, I called him back. This time he told us the train was now cancelled. I said Scotrail have a duty of care to provide passengers with alternative transport. He then became quite abusive and told us we'll have to make our own way home. So, I was faced with a £25 taxi bill. One of the other passengers had no money and if he hadn't been going my way, he'd have been faced with a very long walk home. So anyway two and a half hours later that expected, I arrived home. Actually, I got the taxi to drop me off at the station in Kilwinning as my car was there and I needed my bank card from it. Geuss what arrived at the same time as the taxi. Yep, it was the cancelled train finally arriving two hours 12 minutes late. I'm sure you can imagine how angry I was after forking out for a taxi. I'm now in the process of making a claim against Scotrail. Just the latest in a long line of bad luck I've been having. So anyway apart from that, I enjoyed my meal, it was a nice wee night out.
derek_robertson Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 Nae luck Dave Iff it wasn't for bad luck I don't think you would have any We won't be going to Montgreenan either,they're shutting for rennovations Don't put a lottery ticket on this week,you've got no chance Cheers, Del
billyboy Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 by the way steve the curry went for me too.straight in the top and straight out the bottom.enjoyed it though and the company.cheers guys.
