Hooray! Me 3000th!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 13 May 2005 13:58 (nineteen years ago) link

No, I mean a little dog called Bonzo. That I can't find a picture of on the internet. I am in love. With a little blue doleful pottery dog.

A man was exhibiting a bed by being in it, in a kilt, and pointing out (to anyone who wasn't scared off) a video that he had playing continually in his little stall of him on telly with Nicki Chapman talking about furniture. He was really really creepy.

I had a thought about Glasgow last night whilst walking over the wee metal bridge that's next to the Bells Bridge and that thought was that I DIDN'T RECOGNISE GLASGOW ANY MORE. It kind of freaked me out, all these swanky flats and shiny buildings and regeneration projects. I looked around and if it hadn't been for the Finnieston crane and the top of the University tower, I could have been anywhere and it didn't feel like home.

I have been rereading this thread. It was funny, in late February and maybe March 2004. I'm not saying it's not now. Or that it is.

Matthew Dear was rubbish/relentless/dull - crazy techno people too. i've got such a bloody headache. is anyone wanting to see Lindstrom tonight? i think i can get people on teh guest list, just holler!

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 14 May 2005 13:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, I thought you said that was Sunday.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 14 May 2005 13:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Anyway, it's not. I would like to go, in a way, but on the other hand I am feeling somewhat ropey. I think, on balance, no.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 14 May 2005 13:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I feel a bit dopey

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 14 May 2005 18:34 (nineteen years ago) link

you rang?

I have an exam in edinburgh tomorrow.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 08:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, so that's why you're coming. Maybe it is a bad idea to try Aberdeen, on balance. Perhaps we should concentrate on EUROVISION PARTY instead. It is the 50th one!

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 10:49 (nineteen years ago) link

ooh, Eurovision Party Please!

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 10:55 (nineteen years ago) link

fancy dress.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:00 (nineteen years ago) link

I have already been invited to one.

So ner.

I shall not attend.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:01 (nineteen years ago) link

an obvious choice of party, for you, I think. what's your platform?

two crossposts

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:01 (nineteen years ago) link

who can teach me evidence?

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:06 (nineteen years ago) link

I think you know enough--it's usually very easy to tell what you're thinking.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:07 (nineteen years ago) link

The Eurovision can fuck off. I want Aberdeen.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:28 (nineteen years ago) link

So more Alba, less Eorpa?

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 12:17 (nineteen years ago) link

More Eeyore less Haw-Haw.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 12:24 (nineteen years ago) link

The early stages of senility are difficult to come to terms with.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 12:53 (nineteen years ago) link

My wife's got no nose.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 12:56 (nineteen years ago) link

How can you tell?

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Who knows.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:19 (nineteen years ago) link

terrible

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Hardly "racist" though.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Unless your wife is black.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I assure you she is not.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:44 (nineteen years ago) link

this thread was good.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't have time to believe you.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:53 (nineteen years ago) link

What is in Aberdeen?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Only Cozen, and Amanda.

I say, only.

Yeah. Only.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Perhaps it is ripe for a takeover.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I was thinking about having a Eurovision 'do'. Should I not, now?

Ailsa, it looks like I was a drunken fool with my chequebook. Also, his name is officially Byngo. He's Bonzo to me, though.

The only thing about you having a party is that it will depress me that 12 months have passed. Unless I'm in Aberdeen.

Those dogs are lusty.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:22 (nineteen years ago) link

You should have one, Madchen. I don't think anyone else could top the cheese-on-cocktail-sticks brilliance of last year.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't remember last year.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Last year was great! You had prepared melons! (Or were they pineapples?) I can't remember anything about the actual Eurovision though, except Britain being awful.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I remember last year. It also depresses me. My place is bigger than your place. But I suppose we should consult the consensus. Plus, if it's at yours, I won't have to tidy up.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:34 (nineteen years ago) link

I remember a lack of room at Madchen's. I think tiered seating might have to be introduced. Or sitting on laps. I don't mind Ally sitting on my lap, or Cathy. I think I draw the line at RJG.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Melons? Really? Was it not cheese/pickled onion/pineapple on sticks, stuck in a foil-wrapped grapefruit?

I can re-arrange the furniture no problem. It is a big room, but I usually have it arranged to encourage a feeling of cosiness.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I think the time for retro 70s nibbles has passed. I demand retro 90s nibbles - sun-dried tomato canapes and a pipe of Pringles.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Also, Latvian whores.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Perhaps Aberdeen will serve me better.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:46 (nineteen years ago) link

I think ice-cream would probably do.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, OK.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:47 (nineteen years ago) link

'Prepared Melons'. Phrase of the thread.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:10 (nineteen years ago) link

cheese/pickled onion/pineapple on sticks, stuck in a foil-wrapped grapefruit

That's it! That was the most sophisticated nibble I have ever had.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:22 (nineteen years ago) link

It's time you tried other places.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Haha, Madchen, maybe I should bid for him on ebay and we can have one each and split the difference in cost since I drunkenly egged you on.

Does Glasgow fancy a pint on Thursday? The mister is going to see Star Wars and we are going out for a meal first then I will be abandoned whilst he goes geeking at the cinema. I believe we will be in Budda for food and drinks (the West End version) should anyone wish to meet me for West End drinks and stuff afterwards.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:48 (nineteen years ago) link

"pipe of pringles"??????????????

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 17:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Poor N., trying to look cool in the '90's by smoking his Pringles ....
