Way too much.

I would like to go, though.

...and the OC's in the post, I wasn't being bad I swear, just lazy

― carrey degeneres seinfeld (Cozen), Sunday, 6 November 2005 16:55 (eighteen years ago) link

I doubt I will be going. But you never know.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 6 November 2005 18:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I doubt I will be going and you always know

mugging?

heard about you

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 6 November 2005 18:39 (eighteen years ago) link

£5 postage! They're having a laugh!

I think you'll find that should be a 'giraffe', now that you're a proper metrosexual. I mean, you have taken to using 'Magnus', etc.

Top Poptimo tonight! My first in 6 months or so, a real treat. Blondie, The Meters, Kraftwerk, Chris Isaak and the usual pretty beats. Plus a chilly fire alarm. And the band weren't bad. Hot singer/bassist. I'm going to sleep happy. Thanks, K.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 7 November 2005 05:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Ally, try sleeping more!

― KeefW (kmw), Monday, 7 November 2005 08:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I did.

Can I transfer my invitation from the previous fap/dinner, which I did not accept, to the coming fap/dinner? Apologies for the late notice. I have not had internet in my flat until today and the firewall at the library had an issue with the content of this thread.

you can take my place : )

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't think we can get a babysitter for Friday but if not I may leave Mrs O at home and come along myself.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:21 (eighteen years ago) link

-- soul provider (skiplevel...), November 8th, 2005.

sweet. Would anyone object if I invited David & Lorna?

― hmmm (hmmm), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I just had a larry david moment:
the other day I went into pret and bought a sandwich and a coffee. I bought off this cute, enthusiastic eastern european girl who is usually very cheery. as she was reading out my order I laughed a little because I thought her accent was cute. she looked at me then resumed my order but was impercebtibly more curt. today I go in to nab a coffee on my way back to work, black americano as usual. the guy taking my order says something to the girl beside him and then shouts 'black americano' and turns back to talk to the eastern european girl who is making the coffee today. as she's completing making the coffee she dabs some milk into my cup and hands it to the guy, saying 'black americano'. the guy says 'black americano', smirks, and I leave. I get back to the office and only then realise that the dab of milk was going into my cup and not some other. now I'm left sitting here with my milky coffee and this story. I can picture larry's face had it happened to him.

I don't get it. Do you think she's racist?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Actually, this sounds like the ravings of someone suffering from schizophrenia, or high on pot. Have you sent your stolen O.C. DVDs back yet?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:53 (eighteen years ago) link

she thought I was laughing at her for not speaking english well

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, I understood really. Next time you see me though, I want to hear you bark "Black Americano" and see if it turns me against you.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:17 (eighteen years ago) link

maybe she put pot in the milk

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:17 (eighteen years ago) link

"I will show zis laughing racist!"

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I once made a tape for a girlfriend and called it Soul Provider.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I've only just twigged that it's a pun.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Oi oi. Let's do a new list for Friday:

1. Me
2. Stet
3. Grimly
4. Ally C
5. Ailsa
6. Mr Ailsa
7. Stew
8. Alba
9. HmmOnimo (?)
10. Scotsvo (?)
11. Dave (?)
12. Lorna (?)

I'll need to know if the (?) people are coming or not pretty soon so I can phone up and change the booking if necessary. Anybody else to add to the list?

The table is booked for 8pm so shall those of us not already Southside (yeah) meet in town for a drink first and then pile into taxis?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Health update: Stet has caught it.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:38 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll speak to David tonight and will post as soon as I have a definite answer. Meeting beforehand sounds good as I'm still getting my bearings.

― hmmm (hmmm), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I am uhming and ahing; I might go now : /

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I will e-mail you tonight lucy

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Okey dokey.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Health update: Stet has caught it.

the big wuss :)

re friday: i'll be at the restaurant for 8pm. mädchen: don't let stet do his usual trick of being three hours late. and hmmm - looking forward to seeing you again after all these years!

actually, looking at that list: the HmmOnimo dual-headed monster sounds scary.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 15:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Where are we meeting in town for a non-southsider drink?

― Stew (stew s), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 18:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Just spoke to David. He can't confirm either way until tomorrow I'm afraid.

I'm not bothered where we meet for drinks. Ideally, it would be somewhere good that I haven't been before and would preferably be towards the west end but I really don't mind if it's not.

― hmmm (hmmm), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 19:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Cozen is in real trouble.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 19:45 (eighteen years ago) link

would preferably be towards the west end

noooo! you'll all be late enough as it is ;)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 20:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I think Grimly has a point and we should stick to the city centre, or maybe the Merchant City?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 20:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Mono!

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 20:38 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm not that interested in what you've caught.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 20:44 (eighteen years ago) link

"Change settings to default?" Y

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 20:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I've got band practice till 9 on Friday, so I'm not going to be able to go along.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 23:26 (eighteen years ago) link

You'll catch it, Alba

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 23:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Mono is quite handy for hopping into a taxi to the south side, being near the river and all...
Just a shame they've done away with the weissbier on tap. Ochone, ochone...

― Stew (stew s), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 23:30 (eighteen years ago) link

the bottled organic lager rules, though. esp the reidenburger (sp).

the bottled organic cider is, er, interesting. mädchen will be able to talk more about the effects it had on me.

"apparently robert plant is going to be there!"
"yes, you just said that. twice."

I was going to say something very similar. Except it made me helpless apart from mumbling, so I don't have an amusing anecdote.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 23:55 (eighteen years ago) link

I am flying from prestwick at 0715 on thurs

the first train gets there at, like, 0643

there is a bus that gets there at, like, 0530 (leaving buchanan st at 0445)

anyone know of anything better?

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 00:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm afraid not. i had to stay with my sister in Ayrshire the night before i flew out and she drove me there early.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 00:58 (eighteen years ago) link

ah well, 0445 from buchanan st it is

more time at prestwick, I suppose!!!

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 01:02 (eighteen years ago) link

i didn't know about the 4.45 though so that's useful. luckily for you Prestwick a pure dead brilliant place to hang out.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 01:06 (eighteen years ago) link

haha, yeah, I never considered using prestwick until they introduced that slogan

or maybe I never considered not using it

either way--the power of marketing

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 01:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Are you checking in bags, RJG? If not, I've got on flights with about ten minutes to go at Prestwick.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 01:28 (eighteen years ago) link

REALLY...

I could TRY not to have bags. it would be handy. I will see

ten minutes? how accurate is that? checked in how many mins before scheduled departure?

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 01:32 (eighteen years ago) link

It was about a year ago, I turned up all sweaty, with 11 minutes to departure time, skipped the ticket desk queue and said "I'm not checking bags, can I just get on" and she pointed me in the right direction. I skipped the security queue, and that was it. Got some scowls on board, tho.
