try glasgow more

Ribena was a popular drink and it still is.

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?

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.

Concentrate Ribena is rank. Pre-mixed Ribena is a nice drink.

Ribena is delicious. Strawberry Ribena is *of the gods*.

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.

That’s because the Natural Order of Things is blackcurrant = Ribena, orange = Capri Sun.

asshoppers need not apply

I shall be trying Glasgow more later and am very much looking forward to it.

I'm going to be the first asshopper to say they can't make this now, sadly.

this asshopper forgot (i know...) - I'll be an hour late!

This asshopper is suffering a hangover and will definitely be late if he makes it out the door

lol, never change, Glasgow :)

This grasshopper is just about on time but might not be able to hang around all night for the asshoppers

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.

Which is to say have a nice FAP!

Glasgow
The rest of the world
Thinks you're good at this
You'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?

Yeah I wasn't able to make it as a result of this and that. Hopefully next time

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

Nah man my grans notice for leaving her work 😭😭 wish a was kidding on pic.twitter.com/kHJkSEsrY6

I am obsessed with all those pages like "Scottish Patter & Banter" which collect the best of Scottish Twitter, it's like a whole other world

Yee Ha

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

Do you do road signs? = D'you do road signs? = joo dae road signs?

we're not gonna talk about joo dae at all

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

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

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.

Had five minutes of my maw on the phone last night giving it, "Oh it's terrible, it's the worst I've ever seen, I cannae be expected to go oot in that". She's always saying that about bad weather though.

seven years ago I was working in braehead and it got really bad and I spent the night in my store with an M&S ready meal.

my work is closed today and we left early and much as it is nice to be off unexpectedly I'm concerned about the impact and also the lack of food in my fride that will last beyond tonight

We are above all this panic buying nonsense that's been going on bad are therefore snowed in with no bread, milk or eggs.

It looks like a whole lot of nothing. I saw the curator at an arika thing lately and, it seems, he has been afflicted with their desire for film showings, hang-outs and discussion panels. all good things in their own right that have a kind of deadening effect on music "festivals".

I think most of this tendency is a result of the desire for people running these events to be seen as academics and intellectuals. like they are not already getting enough credit and kudos being the curators of well-funded art events.

Tom D, if your mum lives anywhere near me then she's right not to go out in this. There's at least 10 inches of snow on my driveway.

My work is expecting me to go in tomorrow despite there being an amber warning in place. If there's even public transport running, I'm turning up in full ski gear.

Early December 2010 was pretty full-on, but I think this is a lot more severe. I'm lucky that I don't need to go anywhere that I can't walk to, so I'm loving it. Sorry to anyone genuinely struggling. Walked to work and back yesterday and today, which certainly took some time but there were lots of great sights along the way. Sneaked a couple of drams in Ally Park on my way back yesterday...
