To pub or not to pub [Was Re: [dundee] The Pub]

I'm going to try and come along - where is "O'Neil's"?

It sounds like there is some enthusiasm for progressing various issues and a
bit of socialising too, which I like the sound of; I'm happy to help out but
my experience is all Windows.

I should be able to pick you guys out in the pub - I'll be along around
21:00 if I can make it.
