what!? that is bizarre. i've never heard the like of that EDB.

Yeah, I even stood on one foot, touched my nose, and volunteered to recite the alphabet backwards. It didn't make any sense, and he refused to hear me out. Sucks cause that was among the primary reasons I came here.

eddie i emailed you - let me know if you got it. if not mine is colinohara at gmail

is this city as romantic as the Blue Nile's music makes it seem?

only when you're listening to the Blue Nile

the east end of glasgow is having a massive thunderstorm...in august...right now - dunno if that counts as romantic

Hi jed, got your mail, but alas it's been early nights the last few days. I figure I'm best to confront my fears and return to the sub club for the revenge/6th BP tonight.

hope you have a great night

if i wanted to go to eat somewhere in Glasgow with someone I like very much, where should I go? (feel frighteningly expensive should be off the list, not purely for reasons of parsimony but also a general having good time rather than going wow this is rly high end look at the tablecloths). other recommendations for things to do in Glasgow with SILVM too for that matter.

current plans. talk about david hume and alasdair gray until she's bored senseless.

I was in the Ubiquitous Chip on Ashton Lane in the west end a couple of weeks back, it was lovely and charming. Not massively pricey, though iirc I had the set menu so I'd look them up first.

Thanks IK, looks good. the pre-theatre fits the bill I think.

It's a nice area too, lots of pubs & bars around if that's your thing

Christ steady tho. I've got to go out for organised work drinks later, so it's just a chance to get a bite to eat, and have a drink before going to some terrible terrible sounding place, I can't even

should've organised a FAP IK

ubiq chip is a good shout. if you eat upstairs in the brasserie, it's a more relaxed vibe tho the cooking's all done in the same kitchen

anyway this thread is non canon

That's a thought. I'm actually there tomorrow as well (if it's tomorrow Fizzles) but only 'til fiveish so not really fap timing.

I'd've liked to FAP, but it's really all about work and I don't think I'll get the chance. lit eminence gris IK and velocipede supremo cozen wdve been great.

mother india is v nice, & stereo & the 78 seguing into the café side of things x

i am moving to glasgow in october and know nobody up there so would be well up for a FAP if someone were to organise one.

It's a nice area too, lots of pubs & bars around if that's your thing

Most of which (on Ashton Lane itself) are G1 Group-owned, so to be avoided if you have any sort of a social conscience.

A Glasgow FAP is long overdue.

fu g1

so mono it is then

(mother india - slightly overrated? only time i went there was on a Saturday evening (we'd booked) and felt the whole time we were being rushed to finish and fuck off asap. have had tastier curries in glasgow too (eg the wee curry shop))

will be up in Glasgow every few weeks or so, so all this is good info. maybe room for a fap on a subsequent visit?

Will be there the second weekend in November or so.

I'm in for Glasgow FAPs.

Ailsa is there more horribleness to G1 Group than "just" the toilet mirror thing? (I mean that's more than enough on its own- I'm just curious!)

xpost with Ward

Just released I was in two G1 venues last weekend without even realising (I was even sitting in one when telling my recently-moved-back-to-Glasgow companions to boycott G1 venues, oops). Their tentacles creep far and wide.

btw, Stefan King has previous for being a twat, but obviously some of his best friends are black, etc

whit, nae doomsday?

Glad I found out about the Orangefest, was planning on heading into the city centre on Saturday

Welcome to the brave new progressive world of Scotland, post-referendum and post-SNP landslide.

No Orange fest fap then?

I will unfortunately have to be in the very near vicinity on Dundas Street all day. Hoping it stays relatively quiet.

So the Arches has been closed :(

Most of their club nights were a bit shit but they had some good bands on. And Alien Wars

Conjunction of the Arches having to close and the OrangeFest = fuck this city council

Saw some amazing gigs at the Arches just in the eight or so years I've been up here - Hijokaidan, Keiji Haino & Tony Conrad, Maryanne Amacher's one and only UK appearance, Marginal Consort, Swans etc etc. RIP
