(this new thread business is like ... i dunno, it's like going into pubs now the smoking ban's in force. in theory it makes SO MUCH SENSE and i can't possibly argue against it. but in practice i feel a little bereft, somehow. and hey: i'm a spectacular latecomer.)
we should toast the old thread! tonight. if we ever arrange anything.

Can I just put on the record that "do you have any particular feelings about Harpenden?" is the greatest conversational opening gambit I have ever heard in my life. The fact that a conversation actually ensued made me smile inside. I wuv the internet and its attendant mentalists.

Are there photographs of your comedy soaking, Madchen? I would have braved a storm for that, maybe.
― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 3 July 2006 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link
I didn't take pictures of the comedy soaking, we were all too drookit for camera japes.

I told a taxi driver to fuck off on the way home. That wasn't very nice of me, was it? Still, he was at it. Our original taxi hadn't turned up despite us phoning them about ten times. So we went up to Argyle Street and spoke to a cabbie stopped in the street.
"you OK to go to Renfrew?" "how much does that usually cost?" "usually about a tenner" "OK, I'll do it for £15". "fuck off, you're having a laugh" (Neil fumes as he thinks we'll be blacklisted from all taxis forever)
We phoned a different private hire and got home for £8.50.

Is it still mono?
(I kid I kid)
Is it the Vale or the Art School - I lost track somewhere. I shall try to get along for a couple of beers and to meet everyone.
― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Monday, 3 August 2015 20:57 (eight years ago) link
I'm curious about what put you guys off Mono. Isn't the vegan food is it?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 3 August 2015 20:59 (eight years ago) link
Its at the art school, Scott street, keeping it straight for everyone (as well as myself)
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 August 2015 21:07 (eight years ago) link
xp I think it's ok tbh
iirc it became something of a running gag that no-one could ever think of anywhere else to meet up for a drink in a city full of pubs & drunks
― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Monday, 3 August 2015 21:07 (eight years ago) link
this is me by the time I reach Scott St from my work

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Monday, 3 August 2015 21:09 (eight years ago) link
My objection to mono is that it's a big echoey atmosphereless shell. But lots of people I know like it. It's definitely been a good thing for the city.
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Monday, 3 August 2015 21:32 (eight years ago) link
Yes, also very bad service at Mono. Prefer it as a gig venue over 13th Note and Stereo, tho.
Even more of a fucking disgrace - I've never been to the Art School before! So it is good to meet new people and go to new places. Character building.
Will prob go home first, so 7pm might be a bit tight, but won't be far off that.

― Alba, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:46 (eight years ago) link
Mono?
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:49 (eight years ago) link
How about Bon Accord - walking distance the centre with (usually) decent beer choices.
Or the Pot Still?
― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:57 (eight years ago) link
LOL
My suggestion was going to be the CCA, as it's just round the corner from the Art School and should be easy enough to find for a novice to the city (Bon Accord a little trickier) - Pot Still good shout too

Pot still looks like a nice pub - is that ok everyone? - should be able to make my way there from queen street.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 13:31 (eight years ago) link
kinda awesome cca have a saramago cafe.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 13:36 (eight years ago) link
So...
POT STILL AT 7PM AGREED?NO CHANGES ALLOWED!
PS. If Ailsa is reading this I've lost your phone # (again) & sent you an email. Could you send me a text if you don't have email access?
― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 14:52 (eight years ago) link
All good - see you all shortly.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 15:06 (eight years ago) link
Contact made with onimo, all good. Will try and pop in for one or two but have to take it easy.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 16:03 (eight years ago) link
I'm in. It's busy. I have no idea who I'm looking for.
― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 18:06 (eight years ago) link
If anyone else is in the Pot Still I'm the lonely guy thinking baout things and browsing on my phone at the big pillar.
I am also the only man here wearing a tie. (savages)

I hope you were found.
― Madchen, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link
I was!
Well done everyone. You managed to get plural ilxors in a pub in Glasgow. This achievement cannot be underestimated.
― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 21:21 (eight years ago) link
Yes! Excellent. I spotted Onimo without recourse to this thread. Very proud. Great to meet new and familiar faces. We could easily do this every few months so let's try x
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 21:43 (eight years ago) link
Much fond talk was had of madchen, stet, rjg, alba, keith and many others so if your ears were burning that was the cause.
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 21:50 (eight years ago) link
That was fun! Lovely to meet you, xyzzzz__ and great to catch up with Ward, jed_ and onimo again. Let's try Glasgow more, people.

Thanks to xyzzzz for getting us out - on his (unannounced!) birthday, even. Lovely to see everyone and yes, let's try and have another one in 2015. Maybe even at the Art School. Or Mono.
― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 5 August 2015 07:59 (eight years ago) link
