Plays the guitar on the Top Gear theme tune (or at least their theme when they still used the original Allman Brothers version of the tune 'Jessica')

― Mooro (Mooro), Thursday, 22 September 2005 19:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh right, yeah. I know it. I've got it actually. I like the photo on the sleeve of that record. Looks like me when I was a kid. Because it looks like a small kid.

I have heard the latest work by Betts is quite something. If somebody wanted to email it to me, I would be a happy bunny.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 22 September 2005 19:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Now I am in gainful employment I'd be up for a meal. How about the Cossachok for goulash and vodka? And it's very near Mono for further boozy fun...

― Stew (stew s), Thursday, 22 September 2005 21:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey, that sounds good!

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 September 2005 21:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Despite knowing where both venues are, I can do neither. (Although I am not 'of Glasgow' anyway)

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 22 September 2005 22:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Goulash is hardly good Russian fayre. However, the borshch and khachapuri are very good, as is the range of vodkas on sale. I'll check my shifts.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Thursday, 22 September 2005 22:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Mmmm, borschch. What's khachapuri?

― Stew (stew s), Thursday, 22 September 2005 22:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Ah, now I know. Georgian cheese bread...

― Stew (stew s), Thursday, 22 September 2005 22:33 (eighteen years ago) link

And well worth it too. It seems I'm supposed to be working on Saturday, but I'm about due a weekend off, so I may try and wangle that.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Thursday, 22 September 2005 22:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I have £70 to last me until next Thursday and that must include some food shopping and some petrol! Don't go eating Russian this weekend, pleeeeease!

i read this thread in the misguided hope that everyone will be talking abt the instal fest

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Do you mean read or read?

I hate instal.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:08 (eighteen years ago) link

hate is a strong word

b-b-but it's next saturday, isn't it?

either way, i cannae make it (arran this weekend, rhodes next weekend. ooh, and skye last weekend. it's, er, "island-hopping". i think.)

i would, however, be up for stuffing my face with beetroot and vodka at some point in the future.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't know about russian food

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:26 (eighteen years ago) link

You could learn

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Dublin next weekend. Ireland hopping.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:31 (eighteen years ago) link

the theory, perhaps

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:31 (eighteen years ago) link

I am moving to glasgow next weekend. Can someone summarise this entire thread for me. 'tis very long.

― hmmm (hmmm), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:35 (eighteen years ago) link

asshoppers need not apply

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:37 (eighteen years ago) link

You are such a meanie.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:38 (eighteen years ago) link

:' (

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:38 (eighteen years ago) link

don't worry, hmmm, i ass-hopped my way in here and i think i got away with it.

see you at a FAP soon, then, i guess!

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:44 (eighteen years ago) link

a better summary would be "four pints of guinness, six bottles of lager, three pints of lager, a vodka and cranberry juice and a gin and orange for stet."

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:45 (eighteen years ago) link

We went to a Russian restaurant in Exeter. OMG THE PORTION SIZES.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Ordinary, Medium, Gigantic?

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Gigantic. Starter at least as big as an average main course.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:50 (eighteen years ago) link

I went to cineworld, on wednesday, to see howl's moving castle, and had a very small laugh at the fountain drinks cup sizes

children's (big), regular (huge), large (very gigantic)

maybe it's been longer, since I last went to the cinema, than I had thought

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:51 (eighteen years ago) link

there was some talk of gin and orange?

― stet (stet), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:02 (eighteen years ago) link

is howl's moving castle good, rjg?

― stet (stet), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I liked it, a lot

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't like cineworld because the popcorn cartons say salty on one side and sweet on the other and it's all confusing. Lords of Dogtown was pretty good.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I asked ally out, to the cinema, last night, to see it, but he had "band practice"

I wish he'd bothered to make up a believable excuse

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:10 (eighteen years ago) link

I might actually have that record, Tim!

Anyway, who or what is the current D Betts & what is the "latest work" of which Mädchen speaks, please?

I am sure that Doctor Cock need a lot of practice.

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Band practice: the new hairwashing?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Why doesn't porkypie post here any more? He was quite funny, back in March 2004.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Reading old Ilx threads on a friend night: the new flower-pressing ;)

― stet (stet), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, "band practice" was Scotstvo's excuse for not coming to ~~get very pissed~~ watch Celtic with me and Onimo on Wednesday.

Vodka and beetroot night can be postponed for a week to accommodate Madchen and Grimly, if only for the comedy of seeing Grimly with beetroot stuck in his moustache. Also, we could ~~scare~~ welcome hmmmm accordingly.

Can someone in the know please advise what time .2. are playing at Mono tomorrow?

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:15 (eighteen years ago) link

why do you hate instal, cathy?

besides the silly surrounding rhetoric

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:31 (eighteen years ago) link

it goes a little bit like this

but it gets the chop at the end of the month! (i'd quite like to keep it, actually, but mrs fiendish will rip off my bolls.)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 23 September 2005 19:55 (eighteen years ago) link

bad music, terrible people, unbelievably wanky. I went to instal 03 and the bands were alternately so loud I was deafened or so quiet I could hear my own boredom. It was about the least fun I could imagine having.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:00 (eighteen years ago) link

hello, I still read this thread, mainly as I love Glasgow but see it so rarely. I'd like to try it before Xmas, but I don't think I have the time (or rather, the available holiday now I am invading the low countries next weekend)

Adopts pompous, outraged David Keenan like tone:

Well, I guess you just didn't get it! ;)

Nah, fair enough. I went last year and heard some really interesting and powerful stuff like Steffan Basho Jungans and Richard Youngs, but there was an awful lot of boring noise and farting about. And the audience were so bloody po-faced, as if they didn't want to look "square" by laughing or yawning or just looking bored. The playful side of experimental music was sorely missing.
Le Weekend in Stirling is much better. More relaxed, more varied and more FUN! It also gives electronic music a look in, something Instal no longer does.

― Stew (stew s), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:48 (eighteen years ago) link

bad music, terrible people, unbelievably wanky

see that's how i'd describe national pop league or something.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:15 (eighteen years ago) link

at any rate, what's the point of hating something that has a limited and targetted audience and comes round but once a year.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, I don't hate it all year round. I guess I am not the target audience.

I've been to Pop League AND Instal. Both have their merits, both have their bad points. But at least you can dance at Pop League and it has prettier girls. :)
