Grimly was so entertainingly drunk that he singlehandedly managed to convince my husband that not all mentalists are actually mentalists. The mister was all "S1mon ROCKS! He's excellent". Normally he's "your friend are all off the internet. LOSER!!", but somehow he's now been convinced that this is, in fact, an OK thing.
I'm not sure how one conversation with a very drunk bloke is more important evidence than, you know, the fact that he's known all my perfectly normal internet mentalist companions for ages.

Also:
As it is my birthday on Tuesday, would Glasgow like to come out with me on Friday, for celebrations? I want to go to the Konaki on Sauchiehall St because it is my favourite restaurant ever, but then we could go somewhere else afterwards to meet up with non-Greek-eaters. It is quite near Stereo, but I kind of hate Stereo. It is also quite near The Tap, which has just been painted black, but I don't know whether that means it is any better than ever before. Still, who wants to come to the Konaki?

I'm going to the park now, I think. I don't know why I didn't before.

Last night; Simon was having a nice time. We actually went to The Garage. I'm not sure exactly how bad it was, but it wasn't exactly good. But RJG's arm danced. And we found a flapjack girl.
Another Bowlie admirer vote, which I hope is from Mandee.

I will be posting something to that effect later today.

Of my trip? It got her to actually write her First E-mail Ever to me in response to my blogs. A momentous occasion.

more recently, i snubbed prince philip. he stood behind my desk and tried to engage me in conversation about sub-editing. i ignored him, because i disagree with his right to exist. he fucked off to talk to my boss instead; i tried to run over his foot with my chair but missed and knocked over my bin instead.
ah, it's all coming back to me, the great royal visit of ... whenever it was. stet wore a suit especially for the occasion, the big royalist lickspittle. i think he even combed his hair into a forelock so he could tug it.
there was an unfunny incident with a singing fish as well. crappy days.

i am going to be trying glasgow hopefully for just the one night on the 13th august (that is the saturday). Hope to see some of yous there... driving up in the morning or maybe PLANE (i haven't checked the practicality of this).. i think i'm going to be socialising at the woodside in the evening. perhaps sneak to that pub across the road for a quick karaoke (if that still happenes), i don't know if i still remember any words for any songs though.
(happy birthday cathy!)
