Spent a lovely afternoon/evening in Glasgow on Saturday with various fellow Scottish bloggers (yes, I know I’m not Scottish; neither were most of they). Having stopped in at an easyInternertcafé on the way to do a spot of blogging (and to explain the use of word spacing and capitalisation), I arrived at a pub called Babbity Bowster around 3pm. If you like a pub filled with an ever-expanding group of folk musicians playing in the corner and regular interruptions for a cappella* songs – and the pub really was silenced – then this is the pub for you. If you do.
Despite occasionally being distracted out by fiddling (stop sniggering at the back), I had a great time drinking with these complete strangers. There was organiser Gordon (hurrah for Gordon); fellow geek Richard; Gunnella, who taught us Icelandic pronunciation; Chameleon, who taught me the useful German phrase for "My friend will pay" and who, it turned out, I’d seen on University Challenge but a few weeks earlier; Peter of Naked Blog fame, who offered me what purported to be a vitamin C tablet which I gratefully accepted despite having met him ten minutes earlier; Neil, of Neil Writes the World, and Corrinne of Little Blue Teacup. Judging from the match report, I missed Steve and Svetlana, who arrived shortly after I headed off for a Chinese.
Neil has written about Saturday in his Daily Record column. Now, who could have brought up the subject of Doctor Who?

I presume that’s Gordon, one of my fellow mods from HaloScan.com
I missed out on the whole Dr. Who conversation, drat! I see that I have a lot of reading to catch up with over the next while with your reviews
I only wrote about my favourite episode from the new series, Dalek (http://www.redemptionblues.com/?p=160) and took some pics with my old camera of the inflatable Dalek, which my son received as a birthday present (http://www.redemptionblues.com/?p=156). My position is that knowledge of the Doctor should be incorporated into the citizenship test and I indoctrinated my son into Who fandom before there was any serious prospect of a revival (his favourite being Tomb of the Cybermen). Saturday was fun and if you need any more handy German phrases you know where to turn 
Greatly enjoyed myself, still think Christopher E. is the main attraction in the new series, dubious about this new fella, although if they decide to have hime wearing a kilt as previously mentioned that would indeed be the height of cool
hi there… just officially introducing myself- although for all i know, i just may have stolen your chair that infamous night in glasgow…
