Haha, if I don't make the Feb dates it'll probably be April for me because I'm off to India as well.

I can post your DVDs if you're desperate.

Anyone want to do LASERS next Tuesday?

The Glasgow and West Scotland Branch of the BA together with the Institute of Physics in Scotland presents:
Lasers, Proton Beams and Nuclear Medicine

Talk to be held at the Glasgow Science Centre at 7.30 pm on Tuesday, 21st February.
FREE!!! ALL Welcome!!! No tickets required, however seats in the lecture theatre will be filled on a first come first served basis.

By firing an ultra-powerful - a million billion watts - laser beam at a solid target, it is possible to reproduce conditions which have previously only been found in stars. The lasers can generate particles including protons, electrons, neutrons and positrons which are of great interest to plasma, nuclear and astrophysicists but are also exciting for medical applications. Positrons can be used to find tumours and protons can be used to treat tumours with greater efficiency than conventional radiotherapy. In the longer term it may even be possible to use ultra-intense laser beams to help dispose of radioactive waste.

This talk will be presented at a level that can be understood by non-specialists and students at both school and university. A number of laser demonstrations will be given

"Thanks Mooro, but my plan is to lose enough weight in the first week to look acceptable in a bikini in the second."

Hmm. Pam's upsets in this area lasted for most of the 3 weeks she was there & for about a month afterwards. Hope your plan works, though. Maybe pack bikinis in a range of sizes.

Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 13 February 2006 16:54 (eighteen years ago) link

There is only one size of bikini at the moment: doesn't fit.

I'm not really going to benidorm on wednesday

RJG (RJG), Monday, 13 February 2006 17:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Science Week used to be in March. Or are they running this kind of events now all year long due to popular demand? I will be so impressed

olenska (olenska), Monday, 13 February 2006 17:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm going to barcelona on wednesday

RJG (RJG), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:15 (eighteen years ago) link

Today I was driving home from work just between the Western and the Kelvin Hall when who should run across the road in front of my car but Stew. I waved, but he didn't see me.

Last week I saw Manda Rin outside my work (the epicentre of celeb-spotting in Glasgow, it would seem). I might have seen other people but I've forgotten what you all look like. When are we going to the pub?

ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 16 February 2006 20:39 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw you the other night.

Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 16 February 2006 20:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I saw you too. And then I saw Onimo later that very same evening. I'm just being snarky because I'm wanting an excuse to go to the pub.

By the way, it just occurred to me that none of you lot probably read the ILX parenting thread, so let me throw in *another* excuse for fappage, that being Onimo's impending daddyhood.

ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 16 February 2006 23:31 (eighteen years ago) link

He already is a daddy, silly. /pedantry

(Woo Onimo!)

I keep forgetting to phone Jo and Ian.

Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 17 February 2006 09:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Has anyone seen the new easyjet routes from Glasgow. I did a search for flights to Berlin in the middle of August and got a fare of £36 inc taxes, bargain.

leigh (leigh), Friday, 17 February 2006 10:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, my parents got mad stupid cheap flights to come home and visit from Malaga. I did point out it would have been much better had they bought mad stupid cheap flights for us to go and visit them, but, no, they had to do it their way.

Madchen, have you remembered to phone them yet? I mean, obviously you have remembered about phoning them, but have you put this into practice?

ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 17 February 2006 17:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Madchen, you have mail (gmail).

It's Dahlin's birthday soon. PUB! PUB! PUB! PUB!

ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 00:27 (eighteen years ago) link

No, I am still forgetting. Please keep reminding me. Darn, I wish they had email (or if they do now, I wish I knew the address).

Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 05:09 (eighteen years ago) link

"Today I was driving home from work just between the Western and the Kelvin Hall when who should run across the road in front of my car but Stew. I waved, but he didn't see me."

Hi dere!

Hey everybody - come to Chris Brokaw at Mono tonight. He's great, support act Skeleton Bob are great, and my group Older & Faraway, who maybe aren't so great, are making our live debut. It's me playing geetar with Mogwai's cellist. More Americana than post-rock though.
I'm spinning some tunes too. Fiver on the door. Bargain!

stew!, Wednesday, 22 February 2006 09:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I didn't pay

cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 23 February 2006 18:19 (eighteen years ago) link

didn't stay either tho

cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 23 February 2006 18:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Madchen, I have Jo's email, shall I take responsibility whilst you are sunning yourself in the name of work? And arrange something for when you come back?

ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 23 February 2006 18:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Ah, Cozen you cad! You missed me mucking up a chord change and playing a mighty Neil Young esque solo during the last song.
Chris Brokaw was fantastic. Even better in Edinburgh last night.

Are people going to Belle and Sebastian at Triptych?

ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 2 March 2006 00:50 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd rather go to jackson in edinburgh

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 2 March 2006 00:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Jackson is in Mississippi (this is what I learned from the pub quiz tonight).

I want to go to see the Fire Engines in Edinburgh since I missed them at Optimo.

ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 2 March 2006 00:56 (eighteen years ago) link

I am going to Optimo on Sunday. That's probably as far as I'll stretch right now.

Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 2 March 2006 01:12 (eighteen years ago) link

you're going to the silver jews on fri

pub quizzes are a source of knowledge that should not be overlooked by CI / BI guys. I once learnt that New Model Army´s boots were made in Northhampton.

olenska (olenska), Thursday, 2 March 2006 10:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Presumably Cromwell's NMA and not the popular Bradford beat combo, because their clogs were made in Northallerton.

Hello Glasgow, much as I'd love to come and see you all, I'm not. But I did find this headline while web browsing for work and I wanted to put it somewhere.

Alba demands Playboy pull March magazine


Why?

Resume your usual antics.

Anna (Anna), Friday, 3 March 2006 11:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I would also like to see that film. I wonder if I can get back from Parkhead on time (I'm sure I can). I might see some of you there!
