Well, the original plan was to combine this celebration with a 30th anniversary of arriving in Edinburgh one, and use my old pub guides from 1977-9 to produce a list of pubs that were good then and still are (much like I did with my 20 years delayed leaving Edinburgh drinks). Just as well, really - the pressure to drink, dress and behave in a 70's manner could have been overwhelming.

Instead, the plan is to leave work as soon after 5pm on Thursday 18 October as is humanly possible and head for Bierex (1 Grange Rd EH9 1UH). From there, to Drouthy Neebors (1-2 West Preston St EH8 9PX) and The Abbey (65 South Clerk St EH8 9PP), before diverting to the Auld Hoose (23-25 St.Leonard's Street EH8 9QN) for food, and then heading to the Dagda (93 Buccleuch St, EH8 9NG) until closing time.

After that, who knows?

As ever, if you can see this, you're invited....

Am planning on doing pub tomorrow night; not sure I've got the capacity for a full-length pub crawl, but may join you later.

I'll be making torchballs tomorrow, but hope to be in Hoose from not long after nine - for a while at least. The list above is the short version of what I'd been going to suggest - admittedly with the addition of the Hoose for food. That said, it's still five drinks if one has a drink per pub!

That'd be nice. Any chance you'd remember to bring that Andy Goldsworthy DVD along with you? I'm off to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in a couple of weeks for a Goldsworthy retrospective and would like to mug up on the man.

Thanks for the invite; I'm not as far south as I am normally, but I'm still only as far north as Leeds...

Have a good one.
