Do try Gerty.

Glad you saw this, because I kept meaning to text you and tell you in case you didn't, but I'm a bit rubbish and I keep forgetting.

Is it just me or is Fruit Shoot sold in more shops than Ribena or any other blackcurrent drink? I tried Fruit Shoot again and its just as ghastly as I remembered.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 18:06 (six years ago) link
I tend to find Ribena widely available in Scotland's many fine stockists of juice.
― michaellambert, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 21:21 (six years ago) link
Ribena is a widely available juice in our many cities and towns
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 3 October 2017 21:49 (six years ago) link
Ribena was a popular drink and it still is.
― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Tuesday, 3 October 2017 21:52 (six years ago) link
Was there not some sort of campaign to get rid of Ribena because it was too sugary or something? Fruit Shoots are shite though, I'll give you that. Do you mean the wee ready-mixed cartons of Ribena as opposed to the bottles of concentrate?
― ailsa, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 21:59 (six years ago) link
there was a lot of controversy when it came out, ten year ago or so, that ribena has not very much vitamin c, barely any fruit, and is basically not really any more nutritious than any type of ginger

There was neither.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 22:09 (six years ago) link
Concentrate Ribena is rank. Pre-mixed Ribena is a nice drink.
― michaellambert, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 22:23 (six years ago) link
Ribena is delicious. Strawberry Ribena is *of the gods*.
― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Tuesday, 3 October 2017 22:31 (six years ago) link
Ribena in a carton with a straw needed to puncture it when I was a child >>>>> most other drinks
Fruit Shoots are awful. Every time I'm in McDonalds and I hear a parent get one for their child as part of a Happy Meal I always assume the parent just doesn't love their child.

Also, not enough shops carry blackcurrent Capri Sun.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 22:36 (six years ago) link
That’s because the Natural Order of Things is blackcurrant = Ribena, orange = Capri Sun.

asshoppers need not apply
― Gerty fu ya bassa (onimo), Friday, 13 October 2017 13:38 (six years ago) link
I shall be trying Glasgow more later and am very much looking forward to it.
― ailsa, Friday, 13 October 2017 14:43 (six years ago) link
I'm going to be the first asshopper to say they can't make this now, sadly.
― Ward Fowler, Friday, 13 October 2017 14:45 (six years ago) link
this asshopper forgot (i know...) - I'll be an hour late!
― Susan Stranglehands (jed_), Friday, 13 October 2017 16:21 (six years ago) link
This asshopper is suffering a hangover and will definitely be late if he makes it out the door
― boxedjoy, Friday, 13 October 2017 16:29 (six years ago) link
lol, never change, Glasgow :)
― ailsa, Friday, 13 October 2017 16:34 (six years ago) link
This grasshopper is just about on time but might not be able to hang around all night for the asshoppers
― Gerty fu ya bassa (onimo), Friday, 13 October 2017 17:07 (six years ago) link
It looked like me and missus might be trying a lot of Glasgow more, she went up and back from London on Wednesday for a job interview, 12 hours on trains :/
But it didn't happen - but we'll be trying Glasgow again in the new year.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 13 October 2017 17:37 (six years ago) link
Which is to say have a nice FAP!
Glasgow The rest of the worldThinks you're good at thisYou're rubbish Glasgow

Worra fucking liberty. I had a lovely night with Alisa and Gerty nonetheless!

Glasgow is still endearingly rubbish at fapping, but Gerty/Herpes (the king of autocorrect names) and Jed are still excellent company in a bar where I feel like people think I'm someone's mum coming to check out on them (seriously, ffs, they apparently let weans into the art school now, let's pretend I'm not old enough to actual have given birth to people who can commence further education).
Let's do this properly next time, eh?
― ailsa, Saturday, 14 October 2017 01:04 (six years ago) link
Yeah I wasn't able to make it as a result of this and that. Hopefully next time
― paolo, Saturday, 14 October 2017 09:32 (six years ago) link
Sorry I didn't make it, I was stuck at home working unfortunately. Another time.

Have occasionally been known to fap in Glasgow (with the ever-great-company Ward Fowler), so will bookmark!

Weird ass sky today.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 16 October 2017 12:01 (six years ago) link
Far too dark. Every light on in the house!

I cycled home in sunshine and blue skies though earlier this afternoon. Also sat for a coffee next to a few press photographers who had been out looking for photo opportunities for and been largely short changed.

Excuse the extraneous "for" in there.

this Numbers x Warp thing at the Art School on Friday looks AMAZING, is anyone going?
― boxedjoy, Monday, 11 December 2017 12:14 (six years ago) link
Aye, it does look ace. Unfortunately, I have a work Xmas party and, having already bailed on it last year, I probably can't two years running.
Will be at the Art School tonight for Dinosaur Jr. though.

I'm bailing on my work night out for this :)

I know it's a pain for drivers and the lingering ice might be a bitch soon enough but I've been loving the snow, I had a great time today even though my socks got pretty wet.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 18 January 2018 00:33 (six years ago) link
I went sledging the day before yesterday for the first time since I can remember, which was good fun. But now I want it gone with estreme prejudice and we're due more
― i know kore-eda (or something), Thursday, 18 January 2018 06:25 (six years ago) link
When I was going to work the snow somehow compelled me to run, then I got painfully out of breath after a minute because I don't run often.

My brother said at a metalwork place that people who came in with requests were called Judys.

When was the last time it was this snowy in Glasgow? I've been here ten years and I've never seen it this bad
― paolo, Thursday, 1 March 2018 11:04 (six years ago) link
Also is anyone going to Counterflows? I am tempted by the RP Boo, Mhysa and Cucina Povera shows but apart from that nothing really appeals
― paolo, Thursday, 1 March 2018 11:05 (six years ago) link
Last really bug snow I remember was about 12 years ago when a load of people had to sleep over in the Garage because they couldn’t get home. Wasn’t as bad as this, though.
