Link to that one Madchen!

(I've just realised there's some sort of poetry in me claiming a moral victory in something clearly rigged by people off Sinister doing multiple voting shenanigans. I am Pete Waterman and I claim my five pounds)

o, right! i had a bottle of that too, on aldo's recommendation. it's lethal-ish, but doesn't come close to that westons stuff. [flicks Vs at stew.]

hmm: talking about crushes and who drinks the stronger cider. this thread has become fourth year at school.

Success - overall, probably Rangers. Both have progressed to the latter stages of European-wide competitions in recent years, they take year about of winning/throwing away the league title. Both were a bit shite in the Scottish Cup, though Celtic won the League and the League Cup this season just finished (the latter of is the least "important" domestic trophy).

Popular: depends where you are. Honestly. It's probably about 50/50 in Scotland, but Celtic have the wider world-wide following, or at least the most vocal.

Fun fact: when Celtic reached the UEFA Cup Final in Seville in 2003, it was estimated that 1% of ALL AIR TRAVEL ON THE DAY OF THE FINAL was Celtic fans. Given that not everyone flew, and that some people were there for a week, that's not a bad travelling support. Estimates at about 80,000 people (though there must have been more, judging by how many were in the stadium alone, not to mention the thousands watching in pubs, big screens etc) with not a single arrest (this is good for travelling football fans, believe me). I won't mention how when Rangers were in Spain last season, their charming travelling fans broke a window on the Villarreal team bus, because that would be churlish. Oops. Oh well.

Anyway, yes, go. It'll be good.

If Adam Virgo is playing, point at him and laugh. He's rubbish (see also Alan Thomson).

Alisa, ooer, I remember Nakamura from my days in Japan. Glad to hear he is doing well. (Surprised to see that Nakata retired by the way.)

We're better than this, though.

I wonder if Mike and Pam fancied each other. If so, I am going to tell Ava one day.

Keith, we were at the top of the Most Frequent Posters list. It had nothing to do with being fancied, although I think, as a side effect, it made us more attractive, and continues to do so.

Though we were at the top of the frequent posters list too.

hysterical naked,

dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry

fix,

angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the

starry dynamo in the machinery of night,

who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the

supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of

cities contemplating jazz

can you recommend a good hotel to stay in? in the downtown area

"Hey folks,

As some of you know, I'm heading off to Peru in October to do an i-to-i project ( this: http://snipurl.com/kateperu )and to fundraise for it I'm organising a gig in the 13th Note next Thursday - 13th July. Nice and easy to remember!

There will be 4 smashing bands playing for a bargain 3 bucks:

Miss The Occupier:

"The songs blast Sister-era Sonic Youth through ace girl group melodies... it's basically off centre pop music with sharp, muscular angles. And it's sexy as ---- to boot" says Stewart Gardiner in Plan B magazine. He's not wrong! Frankly, they rock.

After Christmas:

Self -described as "like Grandaddy if they sounded a bit more like Modest Mouse having a fight with The Flaming Lips at a Midlake party", which is pretty accurate except that it doesn't quite convey just how much fun they are. All the "more fun than.." examples I can come up with are falling short too; you'll just have to come along to see for yourself.

Evan Crichton:

Shy Evan (of the Wendy House collective) doesn't have any good quotes I can nick off his Myspace page, except all the comments people have left saying "I was at your gig last night and you were bloody brilliant", and so forth. He's been wowing crowds in Edinburgh and Aberdeen in the last couple of weeks, now it's Glasgow's turn again!

Older and Faraway:

The new project of former Mogwai and Zephyrs cellist Caroline Gardner, Older and Faraway will be treating us to their dreamy country tinged indie rock.
