I believe so. I've never been to glasgow though so I have no actual evidence.

There are at least two of them in Edinburgh.

Peckhams rules the stomach but not the wallet.

The food is yummy and we get to sample all the new cakes! Which is good. Obviously.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Friday, 19 December 2003 17:49 (twenty years ago) link

I think there are three and a half/four in glasgow and the best one is in glasgow OK.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 19 December 2003 21:23 (twenty years ago) link

If you say so. I never actually go in; just look at the bottles of expensive vodka and other spirits in the window.

was anyone else at the SL records thing in edinburgh last night? because I was. Maybe we saw each other across the crowded room! (although it wasn't that crowded really)

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Saturday, 20 December 2003 11:14 (twenty years ago) link

It was far too crowded. And smokey. I always forget how much indie kids think chain-smoking is cool. Please tell me you were not one of the couple dancing at the front during Ballboy who *really* needed to get a room.

Ha ha I sound like an old curmudgeon.

― alext (alext), Sunday, 21 December 2003 19:51 (twenty years ago) link

But Gordon obviously thought that when he read my review on NYLPM of their last Edinburgh Gig...

― alext (alext), Sunday, 21 December 2003 19:57 (twenty years ago) link

wow were you there? I am very tall and have blonde hair and was with my friend graeme who has sideburns, we went halfway through ballboy because we were v tired but I liked the starlets. I helped my friend on the door for most of the third band because he knows the promoter (ed or something?)

what do you look like alext? (this is not a chat up line honest)

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Sunday, 21 December 2003 20:33 (twenty years ago) link

the starlets are from glasgow.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 22 December 2003 00:57 (twenty years ago) link

I remember when peckhams in bruntsfield used to be nastuiks - i used to get my lunch from there when i was at school, they did lovely filled rolls.

― leigh (leigh), Monday, 22 December 2003 11:32 (twenty years ago) link

Back in Edinburgh.

Kathryn, I am short -> medium height, short blondish hair.

I know Ed very well from uni, and my g/f was the bridesmaid at Merlin (co-runner of SL records)'s wedding.

And the Starlets are a great band -- they deserve to do really big things, and they have the best front man since Dan from Khaya toned stuff down with Desc. I am also gutted I missed the SL records party in Glasgow. Apparently Desc played the whole of _The Lost Feeling_, the last Khaya release.

Does anybody dislike Edinburgh?

― kayT (kaytee), Thursday, 1 January 2004 13:29 (twenty years ago) link

Alot of Glaswegians - or at least they pretend to.

― jed (jed_e_3), Thursday, 1 January 2004 18:08 (twenty years ago) link

Is bert's bar on william st still there? It was a lovely little place but someone told me it had shut.

― leigh (leigh), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 17:50 (twenty years ago) link

Is this the same Bert's Bar?

how much does it cost to rent a flat in edinburgh?

― david. (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 19:03 (twenty years ago) link

i don't know but hopefully i will soon find out. If anyone needs a very tidy and lovely flatmate, then...don't ask me (ho ho ho). However I am very good at watching tv and commenting loudly and annoyingly on what people are wearing. Also on eating all your food.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:33 (twenty years ago) link

ask me! ask me!

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:36 (twenty years ago) link

ask you what? do you need a flat in edinburgh? do you want to live with me? I will do all your washing-up!

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:40 (twenty years ago) link

(this may be a lie)

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:40 (twenty years ago) link

what you moving to embra for?

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:41 (twenty years ago) link

If anyone needs a very tidy and lovely flatmate, then... 'ask me! ask me!' :)

for work, colin, touch wood. well hopefully. the sc0ttish l4w c0mmission reprazent!

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:43 (twenty years ago) link

Edinburgh is great. But it's very cold this time of year. Search out the Dr Jekyl and My Hyde bar which serves some great cocktail and if you want indie tunes go to The Liquid Rooms. If you want to feel like the only white face in Harlem there's an R and B club under a bridge somewhere, but I quite like it cos a really nice girl came on to me when I was last there and I stupidly didn't take up her advances as I was trying to fix shit out with my ex at the time. I think I was the only indie kid in there.

― C-Man (C-Man), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:47 (twenty years ago) link

David wants indie tunes alright. im sure he would love the jeckyl and hyde too.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:50 (twenty years ago) link

and the castle.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:52 (twenty years ago) link

that's my name you're ruining!

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 23:59 (twenty years ago) link

oh my goodness i went to the liquid rooms last friday. it was my friend's choice. It was the shitest indie club i have been to in many a year and I kissed a man wearing a trucker hat. I am ashamed.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:02 (twenty years ago) link

i hope you slagged off his clothes first.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:05 (twenty years ago) link

no i tried on his hat. then threw it on the floor as i recall.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:09 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, but if you want to kop with neds you get what you deserve sweetheart. You really should have more class, women who get off with neds just have, like, no respect from me at all.

― C-Man (C-Man), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:09 (twenty years ago) link

??? how does trucker hat = ned? were you not around for the infamous trucker hat wars of 2003? trucker hat = likes momus, or something like that, can't quite remember now. anyway he was australian so he can't have been a ned.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:12 (twenty years ago) link

if you're wearing a trucker head you're a tosser.

― C-Man (C-Man), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:14 (twenty years ago) link

i like trucker hats

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:16 (twenty years ago) link

i like them on other people.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:19 (twenty years ago) link

i like ned heads

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:19 (twenty years ago) link

i like trucker heads. and ned hats.

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:20 (twenty years ago) link

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:21 (twenty years ago) link

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:23 (twenty years ago) link

but tracer, i just bought one! you have shattered my dreams! must i also throw away my collection of lap-dancers and glittery chains?

― kathryn m (kathryn m), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:26 (twenty years ago) link

There's such a double standard here though, cause i bet if a hot girl wore a trucker hat Calum might find it acceptable, which proves that girls have it easier than guys these days.

xpost: No!! Hop hop videos from 1992 are kind of the pinnacle of fashion, now that you mention the other things that they're constituted of. I shouldn't have been so disparaging.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:28 (twenty years ago) link

Sorry I mean 2002

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:35 (twenty years ago) link

If I had meant 1992 I would = a ned

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 00:45 (twenty years ago) link

I hate ladettes and most females in clubs these days are ladettes. It's like one day women woke up and thought, "Hmm, the feminist revolution is over with so we can do as we please and act like men which, in doing so, unwittingly makes us even fucking worse than the arseholes we were originally out to stop - i.e. sexist, drunken, footies fans hollering along to 'Come on Eileen' in the street at 3am on a Saturday morning".

That's maybe why I hate clubs.

― C-Man (C-Man), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 01:15 (twenty years ago) link

If the feminist revolution was over wouldn't that mean women would all go back to the adjoining room of the club and reapply their lipstick while you fetched their drinks?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 01:17 (twenty years ago) link

I do that anyway. Next.
