Mcmafia Meeting

[nungate]

Well, happy to report a fine time was had by all. Entertaining company, good food all made for a very pleasant afternoon. Special thanks go to Slinky Kate's son who made it possible for her and Alba to join us. Sadly, Minty and Voddie were unable to be there owing to an argument with a garden fork (which she lost) and having to step into the breach in an emergency ( a good friend) DT, thanks for the flowers they are beautiful, will try to deliver Minty's as soon as possible.
The only thing left to say about it is when can we do it again? Hopefully, we can find more members of the Scottish AB members to join us, of course any ABer who happens to be in the area we'd love to see you at the next meeting of the McMafia

Hear hear, as to Kate's son....and to minty and voddie, so close yet so far.

I would encourage you all, north of Hadrian's, to make the effort as it was a lot of fun, as also evident by the Brummie bashes.....

The Gathering of the McMafia Clan

The McMafia is gathering, gathering, gathering
Through the deep glens and even from Bardish lands
From cottage and shieling AB friviolity is stealing
Horo for the gathering of the McMafia clan.
The Threads and Yarns are sounding in lowland and highland
The laddies sae brave and the AB lassies say braw
They come from the Burgh, they come from Weegie land
And some from across the Highland fault as' a'
The McMafia clan is gathering, gathering, gathering
Through the deep glens and from Bardish lands
From cottage and shieling wild shrieking is stealing
Horo for the gathering of this AB clan.

The Nungates and Mintys and Albas and Kates
Are proud of the tartans that swing as they gan
The couthy young Queenies and those not able to participate
The bonny tinks, mazies, voddies and men afar from Slappyland
Many a’more but the clan is gathering, gathering, gathering
Through the deep glens and from Bardish lands
From cottage and shieling raucous laughter is stealing
Horo for the gathering of this AB clan.

The wine will flow, a plethora of wit, history and word
Here in Zizi’s Leith, the gnomish trusadh for quaff an’ feast
Stories afoot, images destroyed, names released
For the McMafia clan is gathering, gathering, gathering
Through the deep glens and from Bardish lands
From cottage and shieling wild scandal is stealing
Horo for the gathering of our AB clan.

a post meeting is much nicer than a '' running commentary'' during the event, don't ya think ? where did you eat nungate ?

[ummmm]

Absolutely agree, Anne.

[nungate]

As the one who organised the meeting I felt obliged to say something Sqad.
Personally, I would love to have held the meeting in the American bar in Mahon .... next time I'm over in Menorca we will have a meeting of the Balearic Mafia OK?

Not bloody likely.......

[nungate]

We went to Zizzi's in Ocean Terminal Anne. The staff were great, they didn't mind that we had to wait for ages for Kat and Alba (traffic problems) or that we sat there for hours afterwards just chatting and so forth. When we arrived the sun was shining, a haar was starting to roll in just as we were leaving. I recommend the tiramisu!

[anneasquith]

LOL @ sqad

[nungate]

party pooper!

[anneasquith]

it is a pity murray didn't make it though, poor thing.

[Prudie]

Yes, LOL @ sqad, don't you just love him.

[DTCwordfan]

He's just sore that no lingerie was mentioned.

Yes, it was a disappointment that minty couldn't make it....anybody know if she is home?

And also voddie......

[nungate]

I was looking forward to meeting Minty and Voddie, next time maybe.
Mazie is coming north at the weekend and we just have to firm up arrangements as we plan to meet for coffee

[Psybbo]

Red roses for our blue doctor on the way

[Mamyalynne]

Glad you had such a good time.
