They don't have pooter in the new flat yet.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 15 September 2006 08:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought he'd let go.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 15 September 2006 09:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks for nice thoughts & stuff everyone.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 15 September 2006 09:03 (seventeen years ago) link

i'll be in glasgow soon. what is the #1 thing I should do? ? ?

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Friday, 15 September 2006 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Organise a FAP that isn't in Mono.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 15 September 2006 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I ALREADY DID THAT. The law of glasgow says the next one must be in Mono.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 15 September 2006 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

All FAPs should be in the Alpen Lodge. Fuck a Mono.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 15 September 2006 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Many congratulations Onimo!

And to Madchen too, congratulations on your starring role in the last issue of the uni's alumnus mag!

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Saturday, 16 September 2006 10:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Congrats Onimo!
Madchen: wots this, then?

― stet (stet), Saturday, 16 September 2006 11:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Right, so it's the Merchant City festival next weekend. Fancy a, erm, something or other? We will be around drinking and listening to music and eating and stuff, come join us.

ATTN GRIMLY FIENDISH!!.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 17 September 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Kelly (and Mandee), you should stay in and drink Malibu and Dr. Pepper with me in the flat. This is priority #1.

― Cathy (Cathy), Sunday, 17 September 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

cathy, what is malibu? sounds like an excellent idea though. I'M SO THERE.

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Sunday, 17 September 2006 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

It is a tart's drink of rum and coconut, which I like to drink regularly and unashamedly. There are new mango and pineapple ones, which I keep meaning to investigate.

― Cathy (Cathy), Sunday, 17 September 2006 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

OOO YEAH. We could also make coke with half vodka & half amaretto and it tastes JUST LIKE DR. PEPPER!!! Or maybe it's half rum...I can't remember!

― gunther heartymeal (keckles), Sunday, 17 September 2006 21:05 (seventeen years ago) link

and then put it all into a big two-litre coke bottle and HIT THE STREETS!

ATTN GRIMLY FIENDISH!!.

fuck fuck FUCK i am working late this week. F U C K. i will see what time i can get away on wednesday. FUCKETTY. fuck.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 17 September 2006 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

kell, its equal parts vodka, coke and amaretto. im not sure of its technical name, but DEELISH. Malibu is good, too. Even by itself!

You're so six months ago, Scotsvo: the new edition came out on Friday! We didn't notice that a writer had written that James II banned football in 1735 :(

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 18 September 2006 13:44 (seventeen years ago) link

get one sub

― stet (stet), Monday, 18 September 2006 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Can't afford to employ an overpaid layabout :)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 18 September 2006 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

This is free, tomorrow night:

Coo, I got married in there!

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 25 September 2006 09:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Congrats! Apparently they will be improvising w/ the man who plays the big organ

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Monday, 25 September 2006 09:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Wow. That sounds rather cool. I'm not going, like, I shall be enjoying the rather less cultured spectacle of Celtic v Copenhagen elsewhere.

(also that is by far and away the most belated congratulations ever for my wedding - it's our fifth anniversary on Friday)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 25 September 2006 09:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Dear Glasgow, please come and muck about on boats with us some time. It is excellent fun, just ask Madchen, who I managed not to drown.

Seriously, Swallows and Amazons FAP, y'all. You get to go on quad bikes too, if you ask nicely. And pay.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 25 September 2006 20:19 (seventeen years ago) link

water+beer != good idea. in any way, shape or form.

has anyone been to the new squinty bridge yet, then? we drove over it from finnieston the other night. it's fucking great: like something out of GTA: vice city. (you half expect everything to stop so it can load the other side into memory.) only problem is you end up in confusing bloody govan, where one-way systems rule the roost and road signs are but a memory. and then when i did a U-turn the bridge seemed to have moved 90 degrees and we ended up at the grand ole opry instead.

still. squinty bridge. rock etc.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 22:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I went home from being in the city centre over it today. I did not get confused, but then I know my way around Govan because I do not fear the southside (except the bit you live in where people shoot at buses).

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

fuck fuck FUCK i am working late this week. F U C K. i will see what time i can get away on wednesday. FUCKETTY. fuck.

Haha! This is exactly how you speak!

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

is it raining a lot in glasgow lately?

― i've dreamt of rubies! (Mandee), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

As I remember, constantly since 1975.

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 17:04 (seventeen years ago) link

In seriousness, I don't know, as I live in Edinburgh. But it was absolutely pissing it down at the weekend here, and if it was like that here, it would be pissing it down 50% worse in Glasgow, since it rains 50% more in Glasgow, fact fans.

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

the weird thing abt Glasgow, I've noticed so far, is that sunshine never seems to last a full day. I don't mind the weather tho', it's the fucking litter and dog shit that really hacks me off - every night I have to walk an obstacle course of irn-bru tins and takeaway cartons, disgusting

the organ improv was grate, v. thinly attended, which was a shame (tho it is a really crap evening bus service from the East to the West End)

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 18:29 (seventeen years ago) link

yo ward f! thanks for all yr hard work in my absence, dude. i bet you think i'm a right lazy fucker, not actually having been there any of the times you've been working :)

will keep you posted re: more shifts. and let's have a pint soon. in fact, we should ALL have a pint soon. including you, keith.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 19:20 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks grimly, it was a great experience, and pl. do keep me posted re: more shifts (I've just got some work writing/editing a brochure for a charity based in wellington street, so am keeping busy) - but yeah, wld LOVE to for a drink w/ the Glasgow peeps sometime soon

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:00 (seventeen years ago) link

btw, there is a pic of the comic strip Grimly in the lettercol of the last but one Private Eye (w/ Blair and Brown on the cov), comparing G.F. to Dara O'Brian - only they spell it 'Feendish', is that right?

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Yo. Drinking sounds fun. In fact I was driving past the Station Bar this very afternoon and I thought a pint was well overdue.

(insert obligatory "let's not go to Mono" plea)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Ward (or anyone else) are you still going to Rhythm & Sound?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Jed, I hope so, but I'm going to see how I feel on the evening - haven't bought a ticket, I'm guessing I can buy one on the door - I'll keep you posted, it wld be nice to meet (and celebrate yr bday!)

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

ailsa: apparently the station is under new management. and the new manager, it has been said, is a bit of a cock. a lot of the staff have quit. STILL, it still does good beer.

ward: yes, the original cartoon strip was grimly feendish; the damned song mis-spelt it. that said, i actually took the name from dr grimly-fiendish in a children's book called "the founding of evil hold school" by nikolai tolstoy, which dates from 1968. now, i had this discussion with martin S on another thread and i'm pretty sure the cartoon strip predates the book, but ... ach.

i'll let someone else sort out beer plans so mono's not on the cards :) i'm on 2-10pm shifts next week so can do a late one. 10-6s the week after that. can't do fridays, saturdays or sundays for the forseeable future.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

ALL have a pint soon. including you, keith.

Well, funnily enough, I was out with Alex tonight and we were discussing having a pint with YOU. HERE, though probably. For a 'music listening' night, or we thought we could just take you to Planet Earth and request OMD b-sides.

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm there. when?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh... Dunno... Sorry, we didn't get that far!

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

But it's probably more dependent on you, than us... Given your curazzee working hours. When suits you?

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm up for that, to enable nerd talk

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Right enough!

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

not next week; the week after (ie when finishing at 6). could come through one night after work. stet: let's try to work this around one of your days off.

will e-mail ...

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 27 September 2006 21:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Are we Wright-sister FAPping at all, or are they being kept hostage by their hosts all weekend?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 28 September 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Probably best to text them if they still have no tinternet. I'm off to Germany now! Bye!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 28 September 2006 15:23 (seventeen years ago) link
