"to change this world for the better"?
Matt, there may be quite a few board members who have spent years, maybe decades in trying to change the world for the better and have been successful at doing so. Thus, some may not be impressed when a 36 year old who has accomplished nothing (as far as we know) says he hopes to do something in future to make the world a better place.

This way the three of us (I'm going down the previous afternoon) will be on the move as soon as they clear immigration - taxi from LHR to Euston - and can relax in the First Class lounge there while waiting on train.
Taking everything into consideration there will be very little time difference "door to door"
Plus we'll all get inclusive hot and cold drinks, booze, and food on the train - and have the advantage of being able to get up and walk about during the journey.
I used to fly in/out of London any time I had a meeting there (about 8 times a year minimum) - now I never do, because I simply can't be bothered with all the hassle it involves. Far prefer the train, city centre to city centre.
Best of luck with your bringing your boyfriend to Scotland.
I'm sure with your carefull planning etc everything will turn out fine despite the climate.
I would give you one warning though in that your boyfriend, even if he's gay, will be targeted by women- not by gay men so much.
I would actually say ESPECIALLY if he's gay.
That's the way so many western women are now.
I know this from the experience of a friend who has a Phillipino boyfriend though he's resident and not a tourist.
Every night they go out together the straight women flock around the (very handsome gay boy) and try to take him over.
Just sayin' - maybe women in Scotland are different but I doubt it.

FRM don't forget his father is coming too. So double the trouble, if your analysis is correct.
Re: Flying to Thailand from the UK just got more expensive
Hey I think you underestimate the love I have for my BF.
I don't think it'll happen for one moment but if he was targeted by a woman and there was something genuine between them, if he then decided to go off with her and by doing so was able to improve his situation and prospects beyond anything I could do for him then I'd obviously be sad but I'd wish him well. I'm very aware of the fact that I'm moving towards the far end of my lifespan (not too quickly I hope, but certainly in that direction)
I'm not bringing him over for me, I'm doing it for him
As for his father - well he's about 60 - he can do as he pleases.
Re: Flying to Thailand from the UK just got more expensive
Sorry SG, I thought FRM's comment was a joke and I responded in kind. Didn't mean to offend.
Re: Flying to Thailand from the UK just got more expensive
Not offended in the least Joe.
Maybe FRM meant it as a joke - I replied in all seriousness

No I absolutely did not mean it as a joke- I'm serious.
I have no doubt about your love for the boy and his father can do as he likes of course but I just want to mark your card on something that might surprise.
Fore-warned is fore-armed.
My friend's social life in bars and night clubs became a nightmare because of mostly 30ish + women butting in and generally getting between him and the boy.
He thought nothing of this at first but it got worse and worse and of course the Boy loved the attention.
Now they mostly go to the Cinema or to restaurants.
I don't want to overstate this but some older western women have become wierd bitches.

Perhaps, but a surprising twist is that the younger girls who were nearer the Philipino guy's age group were no problem at all.
Another thing I forgot to mention was that first group of older females my friend had to slap down were his own women friends.
I better stop or Scottish Guy will cancel the tickets.
It won't happen in Scotland cos all the matrons are well serviced in the bedroom by their Jocks.
When the old Queen Vic needed a stalion she went to Scotland for him.
Re: Flying to Thailand from the UK just got more expensive
I too am looking forward to reading about how this pans out.
