G L A S G OW

Is that like D I S C O ?

Or D I V O R C E ?

not sure i'm going to be able to get out tonight now. sorry. i'll try to play it by ear. although you'll all be so pissed by the time i finish work anyway ... :)

I shall look forward to seeing you if you make it. First one in Sporto to grab a decent table pls.

I think I'm having a dodgy Wetherburger with ailsa at 6pm so we should be in Sporto by 7.

Rhoderick Dhu next door might be less busy and still has big screens...

I will probably meet you for a Wetherburger, though 6 might be slightly pushing it for me. Which one?

I am easy on the pub front.

Edward G Wylie, on Bothwell St.

so how was it? sorry i missed you, aldo (and indeed fappery in general). i ended up working late, with the car, because i had to drive to kilmarnock at lunchtime. think tomorrow's fucked as well. i'm off to hide under a stone and mutter into my sideburns.

But great sideburns they are. Probably.

This never happened.

Without having read a single word of this thread I say this: I think we will be visiting, but it might take us a year or so to save up to do it. I'm really excited about this trip.

Tell me about it!

Long story but, within a morning's notice I booked a 4 night trip there beginning this friday.

And yes, there's both an Optimo and Instruments of Rapture nights on the same weekend (!!!!!!!!).

Also, I have no idea about anything in Glasgow other than the Sub Club, so I will take any tips I can get. Thanks.

I'll be at optimo on Friday and Horse Meat Disco at the berkeley suite on the saturday. see you at one (or both?). You are coming up from London but you're from the US, is that correct EDB?

Close! I'm from Canada, specifically Toronto, and am generally just impressed that anyone here knows/remembers that.

damn, i should have known that, in fact, since i've spent so much time there. are you on your own or with friends? i used ilx webmail to send you a PM with my number and my direct email.

Cool, though I received no such webmail (that email address was recently deactivated and evidently doesn't forward things anymore) but if you'd like to resend it to 3dd1e b4cal at gmail.com feel free.

I'll probably be a mix of time with my brother and time alone.

Is it standard practice to arbitrarily weed out people in the queue for optimo? On the dubious allegation I was too drunk to get in, I was refused entry at like 11:30 - a bitter pill for someone who hasn't drank since he was 18.

Anyways, I am NOT impressed.

sux

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!)
