    Looks very convivial!

    Hope you didn't mix grain and grape Hamish!

    I would have loved to have been there...but, seriously...a couple of Scandinavians, a Hollander, a Welsh guy, a Scot and a couple of Englanders...AND they had a couople of drinks...a poor Americaner wouldn't be able to understand a word of the conversation...one of them could tell the funniest joke in the world and I wouldn't be able to get past "...here's a good one...".

    I suppose, though, that maybe a couple (okay several) drinks might level the dialect playing field...

    Looks to have been a great time (and long night . . . how many pubs were there?). It's been too long since I've been over there (going on 9 long years). Anyway, thanks for sharing all the pics!

    Looks like everyone had a great time. Thank you for sharing your pictures. I am really enjoying my forst few days on this site.

    The "full moon" picture reminded me of the dance scene in Michael Jackson's video "Thriller". If you have seen and remember the video you will know what I mean.

    AA,

    You're right on that. I had to ask for a lot of repeats over the weekend. Actually after a few drinks it does get easier.

    Alex,

    You're right, it is nice to relive this through the pics. Gotta get mine sorted and uploaded.

    Well Robin bumped one of the other Ferintosh Burns Weekend piccie threads and I thought I'd bump this one. Brilliant weekend and the reason we are all so red faced in the pubs is because they are VERY hot. Really.
