No idea what the fire was, I smelt in on the way up to the match walking up the Gallowgate, and I could see the smoke hanging over the city centre from my seat in the upper east stand.

I forgot to go and see Death Watch, instead I was forced to see the worst band in the world ever. Cockcheese, I think they were called :-) Godawful pub rock with every song run through the Status Quo filter, and a bizarre version of Under My Thumb which appeared to be the singer singing Under My Thumb as the band played Lust for Life. Redeemed by the twenty-minute soft-rock medley played between their sets. Poison! Extreme! Heart! Chicago! REO Speedwagon! Meatloaf! The Scorpions! Marillion! Also redeemed by about 95 pints of Guinness. And the company. We should have a shit-pub-bands FAP. It was top roffleness.

"forced"

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Sunday, 5 March 2006 12:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, it wasn't my idea. Then people kept buying me beer and making me stay. My arm is so sore from all the twisting it was getting, honest guv.

(My head fucking hurts, by the way)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 5 March 2006 12:42 (eighteen years ago) link

You arm is sore from all the elbow bending.

I'm surprisingly fresh, I ate half a dodgy curry then passed out but I seem to have had a sleep rather than an alcohol induced coma.

This is the dude from the pub. (sadly no picture of the roadie with his jammies on)

Anyone travelling from Glasgow to that London in the next fortnight, please? If so they could do Sally a favour & help charity as well.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 12:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, it would also involve transporting pop star wellies.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 12:43 (eighteen years ago) link

a friend is going to london but not 'til the weekend of the 25th

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 12:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Job would require completion before the 20th :(

Thanks you very much for replying, though.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 13:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I will be travelling to London but not til 25th, David! I´m waiting for your confirmation details :-)

This is one of those drugs mule scams, isn't it?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 14:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i need to visit that london, but the chances of doing it any time soon are sadly slim.

wellies? coo ur.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 15:15 (eighteen years ago) link

This is one of those drugs mule scams, isn't it?

If the wellies would fit up your arse, then yes Alba. Thicker rubber than condoms so much safer too.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 15:31 (eighteen years ago) link

If the wellies would fit up your arse

can we try this for a laugh anyway?

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:56 (eighteen years ago) link

and they do housework! i love them.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Can I have some, please? My house is a tip. I could do with some Glaswegian ~~minions~~ houseguests in that case.

aren't these glaswegians from fife or something?

I don't know ANY glaswegians (or anyone that purports to be) that does housework!

I changed something, there, during the brackets

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyway, I have a friend and ex-bandmate who is trying Glasgow right now, as we speak! Apparently she has gone to interview a band and have nummy organic beers and indie records at Mono. I am jealous.

― Fish is Biodegradable! (That Means It Rots) (kate), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:40 (eighteen years ago) link

we'd like to help, kate, although we're allergic to windolene. can we just sit here and drink milky tea instead?

yeah, mainly from fife if you're going to split hairs.

50/50 chance of stacey and i stowing away in the back of the van and trying glasgow in person tomorrow.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I won't split hairs but ally cook has a thing abt the "east coast"

50/50 isn't v telling!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Parallax View, GFT, this Wednesday 18.15. Tense.

― JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Monday, 13 March 2006 10:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I was sad to notice that there was no Lauren in Glasgow. However I can confirm that the Fife Glaswegians were back and in fine form on Saturday night. And by 'in fine form' I mean, of course; completely off their collective face.

Saw the Concretes last night, for free, and had some cake. Glasgow is good to me.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 13 March 2006 12:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Concretes were superb. After all the palaver of traipsing through the snow to get there and worrying about getting home (in the end we got a lift, so it was all good) they had to deliver the goods. And they did. Those Swedes know how to warm the soul.

My street (Gardner St) is in the Herald today. People were sledging down it yesterday and it was a slushy nightmare today.
If anyone lives near Clouston St go check out the awesome snowman someone built. It's like 4 massive snowballs piled on top of each other, with trees for arms (well, branches).

― stew!, Monday, 13 March 2006 12:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm imagining something on the scale of the Stay Puft Man from Ghostbusters, with entire tree trunks for arms. Must get to Clouston St.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 13 March 2006 13:57 (eighteen years ago) link

You're not far off, Ally.

― stew!, Monday, 13 March 2006 15:09 (eighteen years ago) link

glasgow?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 16 March 2006 20:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I know...

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 16 March 2006 20:33 (eighteen years ago) link

I think my deferred Trying More is now confirmed for w/c 24th April (it'll probably become more definite when I'm on holiday) so I propose aldoFAP2006 for Thurs 27th.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 17 March 2006 09:29 (eighteen years ago) link

I am already quadruple booked, for thurs the 27th

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 17 March 2006 09:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I would think "washing your hair" probably counts as quadruple booking, in your case, yes.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 17 March 2006 12:48 (eighteen years ago) link

aldoFAP2006 for Thurs 27th

triptych. mogwai. edinburgh. come.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 17 March 2006 14:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Work. Unlikely.

Might be able to do another night that week.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 17 March 2006 14:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Next Saturday I think I'm going to start drinking around 3pm. Wanna join me? I want to be ratfaced by midnight, when I will turn 31.
Message ends.

(You do not have to show up at 3pm - any time after that is fine. Location TBC)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 25 March 2006 16:12 (eighteen years ago) link

(Message ends for real)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 25 March 2006 16:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I was rather ratfaced, last night

I will try, again, next week, but it is exhausting!!!

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 26 March 2006 18:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I was also rather ratfaced last night. I am suffering today for it, but I am treating it as "practice". I shall be up for the long-haul next week, I would have thought.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 26 March 2006 18:57 (eighteen years ago) link

aldoFAP needs to be on or after the 26th for financial purposes. Otherwise I shall be sitting in the corner drinking water like a poor person.

Problem with smoking ban = lack of opportunity to laugh at pished Grimly Fiendish for forgetting he's stopped smoking and buying a whole packet of cigarettes then giving them all away because he's remembered he's stopped smoking (see also aldo and onimo).

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 26 March 2006 19:09 (eighteen years ago) link
