There's a restaurant in DALRY that has a Michelin star? Well fuck me. And to think I went to the bloody Dalgarven Mill that one time instead. Anyone fancy PayDayFAP tonight then?

― stet (stet), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:05 (eighteen years ago) link

on second thought: if it's that good, reservations could be hard to get. God, what a novel thought: an Ayrshire restaurant you can't just walk in to.

Another quote from Rumpie on the Greek Food thread: "I think my fussiness may make it difficult to consume anything" :)

Mr Ailsa is right, I should be able to get my arse in gear and organise this. I'll call today and provisionally book a table for 10 at the Kosh on the 11th and we can sort out numbers properly after that.

braidwoods would be too small for all of us I think and also too difficult to co-ordinate

I wish I could have watched Alba's dad on the telly :-(

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 21 October 2005 07:23 (eighteen years ago) link

You could listen to him on the radio instead if you like!

anyone know anyone

who teaches french lessons?

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 21 October 2005 07:42 (eighteen years ago) link

I just listened to him! I didn't realise it was him until they read the credits at the end. My poor Mum will never get to see/hear him. She's in Barbados at the moment.

OK, Alba! Here goes!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 21 October 2005 11:57 (eighteen years ago) link

That was lovely, Nick.

I would be well up for a PayDayFAP but unfortunately it is still ten days away from payday, so it won't be tonight. Instead I shall sit at home and do nowt. Now where's that "happy with your social life?" thread.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 21 October 2005 15:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Also, I just work round the corner from you meeja types now, so any post-work old-man-tastic pint-drinking would be most welcome.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 21 October 2005 18:52 (eighteen years ago) link

I second the post work old man Fap. Work at Skypark, so I can be at any of the meeja land boozers within twenty minutes. Being a temp every Friday is payday, so I'm flexible.

― Stew (stew s), Friday, 21 October 2005 19:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh yeah, I'm going to be an extra in a Belle & Seb BBC special. Anyone else joining in the twee fun?

― Stew (stew s), Friday, 21 October 2005 19:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't dress up on request

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 21 October 2005 19:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Look like you're from the 70s? Fuck that.

― KeefW (kmw), Friday, 21 October 2005 19:38 (eighteen years ago) link

cozen, what about isabelle?

I´m so annoyed to be missing alba´s dad.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 21 October 2005 21:09 (eighteen years ago) link

oh, I´ve just remembered she´s in leeds. never mind.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 21 October 2005 21:10 (eighteen years ago) link

try the south side less

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 21 October 2005 21:11 (eighteen years ago) link

I had a french tutor in glasgow for a while. His name was bertrand and he was belgian. He was really great. I think I´ve lost his phone number though. If you go into the modern languages building there will be lots of notices up about people giving french lessons, and much much cheaper than the alliance francaise.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 21 October 2005 21:12 (eighteen years ago) link

but grimly where was that? govan, govanhill, shawlands?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 21 October 2005 21:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Near that dodgy kebab shop you're forcing us to go to?

(Please tell everyone, for a laugh, that it was in Battlefield. The ironing, etc)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 21 October 2005 21:19 (eighteen years ago) link

it was RIGHT OUTSIDE THE KEBAB SHOP IN BATTLEFIELD, yes!

(or is it langside? i've lived here for five years and nobody seems able to tell me where one starts and the other ends.)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 21 October 2005 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Langside is where the college is, Battlefield is where that daft wee restaurant on the traffic island is. They are across the road from each other though, and I have no idea where they extend to from there.

I was in Langside Jobcentre the other day, which is on Battlefield Road. And right between the college and the stupid wee restaurant. Perhaps it is the dividing point between Langside, Battlefield and whatever else is that way.

Sorry to hear someone popped a cap in your bus Simon.

Dave D and I years ago decided we would like to go to work in one of these:

― KeefW (kmw), Sunday, 23 October 2005 10:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Ailsa, you can tell your other half that he is right, I am capable of organisation sometimes. I have booked a table for 10 at 8pm on 11th November. The list so far looks like this:

Me
Stet
Grimly Fiendish
Ally C
Ailsa
Mr Ailsa

Who else? I guess I can up the numbers if necessary, as long as I don't leave it too late. Any more takers?

c7n

― c7n (Cozen), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 07:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Mr and Mrs Onimo are probables, we just need to arrange a babysitter.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 07:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Whereabouts is this taking place?

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 08:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, and the 11th, like the last time, is the day before a Scotland match, so no excuses this time Ailsa.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 08:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Koshkemeer on the Southside.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 08:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Are you coming out to play, scotsvo?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 08:53 (eighteen years ago) link

No excuses for what, exactly?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 16:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Also, looking at the people going out, are we like a dinner party where we've set Grimly and Ally C up on a surreptitious blind date?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 16:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Not AGAIN.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 16:14 (eighteen years ago) link

But think of the effect of the combined facial hair (oh wait, you've both shaved, never mind)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 16:16 (eighteen years ago) link

november 11? that's plenty of time to grow more.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 16:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Not excuses for not going, of course! I may come out and play that night. Mark me in for a might-do.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 16:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Woo, cheap(ish) tickets for Scotland game on sale next Friday. I therefore think we should move the meal back to the Saturday so I don't have to venture south of the river two days in a row.

(casually ignoring the fact that I live south of the river anyway)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 17:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I think Saturday might be the Winchester Club.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 17:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Only joking about switching day. Anyway, I have now found out that the Scotland game is on the telly. So, hmmm, tough decision, hike over to the south side for the second time in two days and spend £12 on standing in the freezy cold watching Scotland get their arses kicked by teh 'merkins, or spend £12 on nice booze in a warm pub whilst watching Scotland getting their arses kicked by teh 'merkins. Oh, what shall I do?
