I wouldn't mind a beer in Spoons.
We could do it in between Xmas and New year? Sometimes things are pretty dead then
I wouldn't mind a beer in spoons either between Christmas and New Year

As long as it's not the same as the one I'm planning on wearing!

We could all wear a red rose or a santa hat or something. We need a big badge "I'm an orger" for everyone to know who we are. We could just go up to kevin as we will recognise him in his val doonican jumper!

He will be the one sitting in the corner rocking in the rocking chair. ;)

I always think that aswell. How funny would it be to end up sitting with the wrong group? Or walking up to random people asking if they're "orgers"!! We'd get some strange looks :lol:
On our first orgers night out we saw a lady come in and gaze around looking lost. finally she sat down all alone. Me being me, I volunteered to ask the question. I wandered over and said, 'Excuse me are you looking for the orgers?' she gave me a very strange look, denied it vehemently, and turned her back. She still gives me strange looks to this day!

Count me in (as usual) but better make it soon - am off doon e line ((ano - again!)) soon - so when is it - spoons is fine by me - don't bother with the identity thing - we've found each other before - eh katarina! And the last time I was on one of them I was the last one out of the place!

I did try it in a glass once but dribbled beer down my Val Doonigan jumper.:eek:
Thanks for the suggestion, but its just one step at time for me.lol I am going to stick to the spoons.:lol:
Anyway, is anyone up for a beer /! or what.

I haven't a clue who the other orger are either but, I would think we are all welcome...old, new.....I will do my best to pop my head round the door, at least...:Razz
Are new orgers welcome too?
Of course, all welcome. Usually Thurso orgers organise something too, it's a bit difficult and not very fair having it in just the one place

Again i will add i will be far to embarrased to walk up to a group o people and say "are you orgers" and they say no....:eek:
Bet i know a few people on here but are hidden by their identities! Like superheroes i guess!
Maybe i will come next year if i get to know u all a bit better thru the org cos u all seem like a very nice bunch o people indeed! ;)
Hope u all have a good time though!
Will someone have a morgans and coke on my behalf??! [lol]
Hi Shelley,
I would love to have a Morgans and Coke on you, but last time I had one (many moons ago !!) I don't remember much else - and that was after having only ONE !! I think I was found semi-comatose in the ladies. So sorry, NEVER again, but will have a glass of the old red - would that suffice ??

Its fine you hev a dam gud time and will here all about it when ye get homexxx
So, ..............what happened to you all??
Was nobody there Fran???
I did fancy coming down but didn't want to put anything on the thread incase (as it turned out) I didn't make it.
I was also a bit iffy bout turning up on my own (well, I would have had e little one with me) and not really knowing anyone from e org (well, under their usernames anyway) didnt bode too well!!
Would have looked a right plonker going up to someone and saying "Are you part of the org meet??" The blank expression on their face would have sent me flying - I would be out the door quicker than a speeding bullet!

The last night out I attended we all managed to find each other no problem. It did help that someone did put a piece of card on the table with org written on it. ;)
One or two people did sort of know each other but most of us were strangers. It was quite funny when everyone started telling each other who they were and one or two looks of surprise when we found out who we all were.
The funniest part for me was the amount of people who thought Weeboyagee and I were married :eek: ............maybe it was the fact that we nag at each other all the time both on and off the org that made them think this. :lol:

I enjoyed myself and have still got a rampant headache to proove it.lol
I asked a guy at the bar was he an orger and indeed I did get a strage look.:eek:
It did proove a little bit of fun guessing if the people on the next table was an orger or not and when somone walked in obviously having a good look around I plucked up the courage to ask and eventualy there were about seven of us.
It was a pleasure meeting the ones that were there and I enjoyed there company, thank you all.
omg i know! i was so embarassed walking up to peeps saying hi are you an orger?
one of the staff is an orger and she was keeping her ears open and even went and asked a few people if they were orgers for me *G* and nope they wernt!
julia found me... and then kevin reconised me! *Laughs* way to go guys! i had just about given up! just wish i could have stayed longer but the demonic duo were well ready to head home!
but had a good time!
Now I am sorry I missed it.
Does this only happen once a year???
Wish I had had the time and courage to go now. Would be good till ken some faces behind the names :cool:
Oh well, you will still all be mysterious to me.
And me, well I am just a mystery till myself anyway :lol:
Till next year!!!!!
I was in at 3pm meeting my wife (she works in Spoons) and did spy the table of Orgers, i know who Julia is and i recognised Brandy, after we left i did wish that i'd come over and introduced myself, but i've become a social recluse these days and barely speak to my friends let alone a group of strangers...:lol:

You should have come and hello Gizmo, it would have been nice to meet you even if you felt you could not stay.I have felt just like yourself at times and it all seems too much bother but later I wished I had made the effort.Next time perhaps.

sorry i missed it. i really liked to go but i wasn't even near to the town. maybe next time.:(
We were planning to go, but hubby went for a walk and didn't get back until 4pm! Meanwhile my computer had died and I have spent the whole weekend getting it backed up, reformatted and sorted out.
Sorry I missed it but I will make it a priority next yea. :)
I hope you all had a good time.
Maybe we could have another one very soon and we can plan where we will be sitting so people would know where to go, and all wear a yellow daffodil!!!!!

I think the wearing of daffodil's should be made compulsory anyway.;)
I have a proposal.:roll:
I enjoy a curry now and then.
I believe they do a curry night on a Thursday night at spoons and from what I saw of other people eating there currys last night, it looked tasty.
What if we have an orgers curry night as an informal get together on the last Thursday of each month,starting the 29th January 8-30 meet.
At least anybody that would want to meet fellow orgers would have an oppotunity at some time duering the year.

That sounds good Kevin. Will give everyone a chance (Wick end anyway) till meet up. Some months may be no good to some people (shift workers and such) but they may be able to make it the following month.
Spoons also aint a dear place so having a monthly curry is not too much of an extravagance. It may be that some people wont take part in the meal but come along for the company!!
I will be restricted by when the other half is home as that would be way past e little aines bed time. (Saying that, would be getting close till ma aine!!!) :lol:
were yeez still in around 5...sitting just as you come in to spoons?
if so i came in around 5 ish with mrs z & the kids for grub & was sittin just along fae yeez ...if it was yeez!!haha

That was us! We were still sat there at 11pm :eek:, mind you I was late arriving, didn't get there until 3pm [lol]
I had a very enjoyable afternoon/evening/night. Next time we will advertise the table with a wee signpost to encourage you scaredy cats over.
11pm!?! My goodness, Julia & Co...I think you die-hards get this meets prize! :lol:
Saltire and I both had a wonderful time, as well. It was great catching up with the couple folkies that we already knew, and then meeting new faces and getting to know them, too! Those of you who couldnt quite pluck up the courage, or just couldnt make it, we surely would love to meet you next time!
I think a curry night (or just come out and have a drink, for those not wanting a meal) sounds great, Kevin...maybe give a reminder post for us all about a week ahead?? And yes, I think a sign for on the table or the wall above is a good idea. It will save oursleves and the other patrons of Wetherspoon any embarrassment from the 'Orger question' ;)
Good idea, but i wonder what people will think when they see a notice saying "orgers"...they will think we are strange people!!!!

Good idea, but i wonder what people will think when they see a notice saying "orgers"...they will think we are strange people!!!!
curry night is a brilliant idea! I won't manage on the 29th of this month - going to the dominican republic wheeee, but other months would be just fine!
