Usual place/time again (7:30pm at Guildford Arms) following last month's whisky-themed departure from the norm. Which reminds me, I'm off to Orkney (read, Highland Park visit) in September :-D Rory From perl at minty.org Wed Jan 11 09:08:03 2006 From: perl at minty.org (Murray) Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 17:08:03 +0000 Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] perl shops around edinburgh Message-ID: <20060111170803.GA8551@minty.org> not least because I'd like to actually get to one of your socials sometime ... ... myself and $other are considering a move back up to Edinburgh So I was wondering if there are any noteable Perl employers I should check out?
