If @mr messy manages to find the train station and the same train as @Pat "5mph" , he'll be fine
Otherwise several of us have his mobile number & vice versa

A fine lunch...
you know who you are... ;-)
you know who you are... ;-)
Thanks from me too, to @Col5632 and @Louch for organising us ... I knew the food & company was going to be good, but it was even better 
...
Time just flew by, and before we knew it was nearly 5pm! I was sorry to have to go home instead of joining you at the Christmas market, but needs must...
I've been shopping, the mince pie pastry is waiting to be rolled out, the stollen dough is waiting to have a tonne of fuit & nuts kneaded into it, and the ginger cake is starting to smell nicely ...
Strangely enough, I'm still not hungry following lunch!
Hope everybody else enjoyed themselves, too
I suppose the next CC Ecosse meeting will not be until the next year now
EDIT: forgot to say, welcome to our newbie ... hope you'll join us for next year's rides, and that you'll stop lurking and start posting

Great CC Ecosse day out, glad I dragged myself out of bed this morning to be there - just made a coffee with cold water, forgot to boil the kettle, shows how tired I am! 
Like you, @Telemark could not eat another thing today, the food was extremely tasty
Loads of it was eat while comparing notes on @mr messy 's new cycling jacket: turns out the two of us bought the same jacket, in the same size 
different colour, mine is better 
Thanks @Col5632 and @Louch for taking care of the logistics.
New CChatter Michelle had to take an earlier train back to Weegiland, so it was me among the men
that headed to the Christmas market, where we met Mr and Mrs @Fubar for a wee chat.
Good to meet Dougie A, B and C
Amidst vapors of beer, barbecue odors, chocolate scent and opinionated statements on Scotland's independence quest, the seeds of the next CC Ecosse ride were germinating ...

Do tell
what next???? For those not present at the lunch, we were also plotting a wee excursion up the Crow Road for beginners, with a 
Sorry to miss Mr & Mrs @Fubar
There is a THIRD Dougie?
Must have a look out for that jacket ... a real bargain ... we can be the terrible twins next time, @Pat "5mph" (I like your colour better, too
). Thanks @mr messy for the details. T

@Telemark there is a third forever absent Dougie @Mad Doug Biker that is.
In this case, however, it was a joke by @Louch : as we have Dougie AB, stands to reason the "other Dougie" must be C

Hi All,
Newbie here
I thought it might be a bit cheeky to come along to your Xmas Lunch when I hadn't even posted on the forum yet but @Pat "5mph" talked me into it
I just wanted to say thanks for being such a welcoming bunch and it was a lovely afternoon out in Edinburghland - nice place to eat (even did bunless burgers for this gluten-challenged person lol) and great chat! Very impressive kitchen-sink eating as well
It sounds like I missed an interesting time at the Market too @Pat "5mph". Heated debates?!
Oh and I promise I'm not lurking @Telemark - only just joined up the other night lol I will endeavour to start posting now though and I look forward to joining you all for some rides next year

Oh C***! I missed this!
Annyway, if you don't watch out, I'll suddenly make a surprise appearance at something just when you least expect it!

Not that there is anything wrong with the guys, of course... 
Looking forward to seeing you on one of the social rides soon.
