If I knew where it was, I'd SO be there.

What's Water Polo?

water polo is football played in a swimming pool, but using your hands rather than your feet.

i don't know the rules, but that seems somewhat irrelevant, as long as no one drowns

You've seen the Edinburgh v Glasgow badges they had in the List?

there is a more brutal form of water polo, one that involves kayaks...

and here's a picture of my brother drowning some innnocent girl to give himself time to get the ball clear...

This might be a stupid question, but would it involve actually, like, getting wet or would we just be watching something? Are you really proposing an active Barbe meet? I'm crap at swimming.
I think I'd better go back and read the thread again, I'm all confused.

Ariadne, I came to this thread to say exactly the same thing!

I don't think that I currently own anything approaching swimwear, or indeed which side of the Eboro / Gla divide I fall on just now. But the latter means that chances are I can go to a shindig on either coast...

I just re-read that and realised that it sounds a lot like one of my notes to get out of swimming in high school. But with more of a 'are we going to the pub soon? Are we?' subtext

well i suggested govanhill pool as a suitable venue, mainly because the council shut it down two years ago. therefore repairing to the pub would have been the only sensible option. where we could argue about who would have won.

but feel free to bring swimsuits anyway

So we're going to have a Barbemeet sitting in a Govanhill pub in our bathing suits? Interesting plan.

ok, i clearly haven't thought this through, so if there are any better suggestions?

how about a half-way house central scotland meet, at the bathgate miners welfare club, or harthill loyal orange lodge?

I'd certainly be up for a meet -it might be easier to have it somewhere at least some of us live (ie, Edin or Gla). Since I'm officially East Coast as of Saturday, I'm all about the Edinburgh, but whatever everyone else thinks!

Thursday, 7.30pm at the Venue to see the Fence Collective.

Suggested by Cube here.

I'm going, anyone else?

Bugger, I'd love to go, but I'm giving up my evening to go to the Young Banker of the Year contest - how exciting is my life?

I'll try to come along tonight, sounds cool! I've got a chapter of project to write for tomorrow though, which might have to take priority.

Sleaze, you don't know what you're missing. Four young b-b-bankers wil give their views on the effects of regulation on the banking industry. It'll be fascinating, I'm sure.
Howevr, I do have funky shoes to wear so that's okay.
