Oh, did you all have fun on Saturday when I fell asleep and didn't come out then? Bah.

I was tempted to go and see Miss Booze Explosion and her chums last night, but I have a lot on at work and going out on a school night is out of the question right now. I want my old job back with its lack of hassle and shorter hours and relatively long lie.

Saturday was superb. Last night, also very good. Had to fight my way through the slavering autograph-hunting boys to get to Paula, though.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 23:23 (eighteen years ago) link

12 days no ile! Grebt.

I will try more glasgow, sorry Peter, Glasgow, on the 2nd.

― Mooro (Mooro), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 07:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Yay!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 10:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Hooray, Mooro!

We were wondering.

As you know.

Is that 12 days without looking, or 12 days without contributing?

I need to know what to aim for.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 11:06 (eighteen years ago) link

12 days without looking, (most of) 12 days without thinking of.

During the 12 I, moore, tried Sevilla.

They're not very good and rather old, sorry.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 17:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I just found out I have a week's holiday in a couple of weeks and I am going to try and try glasgow!

Can we have lots of dinners?

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 17:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes. Madchen – those photos are sort of good. I like the way they are high contrast, with the background so dark or something.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 18:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I like me looking round and you with a pipe in your head.

Cathy, yay!

internet lawyer was telling me today about s3tanta guy

get this

an hour before a game starts on s3tanta a website opens

you then either post up your user ID or e-mail it to him

it wasn't made clear

anyway

the guy then generates the PIN and sends it to you

voila, s3tanta unlocks

only works with freeview apparently

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 20:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, that was in the Evening Times, about them being cross and going AFTER people doing it. You need Top Up TV with Freeview too.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 20:38 (eighteen years ago) link

ridiculous

I have NOT done this btw

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 20:58 (eighteen years ago) link

A couple of people I know have got some kind of free sky/setanta set-up but are getting nervous because one of their neighbours got caught recently.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I am NOT a couple of people mädchen knows

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:38 (eighteen years ago) link

No, I should have made that clear, sorry.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:50 (eighteen years ago) link

I have a job interview in Erskine on Friday but I'm not totally sure how to get there. The buses don't seem to go that far out (which is a little concerning as I don't want to spend my life travelling). Do any of you know if it is possible for me to make it there by public transport and, if so, how long it will take?

― hmmm (hmmm), Thursday, 24 November 2005 15:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Have you tried asking Jess?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 24 November 2005 16:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Jess says the number 23 Arriva bus from Union Street goes to Erskine.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 24 November 2005 16:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Get the subway to Govan, aim right and 23 bus stop is opposite a bank.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 24 November 2005 16:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Many many thanks. Jess also says that it will take 40 mins (i'm not sure if that allows for rush hour traffic or not). It's not exactly close by at the other end either. However, they are talking about paying an ok amount of money.... for a job I don't really want to do.

― hmmm (hmmm), Thursday, 24 November 2005 16:24 (eighteen years ago) link

There's an X23 from the city centre that goes on the motorway and only takes 25 mins on a good day (or at least there was when I lived in Erskine a few years back). A 22 or a 300 (I think) gets you to Erskine from Paisley via the airport.

My wife works in Erskine, in a bank.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 24 November 2005 16:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Actually, jess says it will take over an hour. Plus a bit at the other end. Too long for me. Oh well.

xpost

thanks. Even that is pushing it quite a lot I'm afraid what with having to get into town first and all that.

― hmmm (hmmm), Thursday, 24 November 2005 16:49 (eighteen years ago) link

22 goes from Paisley (just outside Gilmour Street station - take the exit onto County Square and look on the left as you come out of the station, it's across from the taxi rank on the right hand side of the road with your back to the station) but doesn't go via the airport. However there are roadworks and diversions and whathaveyou through Renfrew, which is where it does goes through on the way out of Paisley. Whereabouts in Erskine is the interview, as the buses don't serve very much of it?

Accentmonkey in Glasgow December 2nd to 4th

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 25 November 2005 13:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyone going to see the gussets at the barfly tonight? It'd part of some kind of night called Funhouse.

― hmmm (hmmm), Friday, 25 November 2005 18:16 (eighteen years ago) link

did you go in the end?

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 26 November 2005 11:37 (eighteen years ago) link

sorry, not funny

glasgow looked so beautiful again today

my moods are flicking like switches lately

what with all this weather

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 26 November 2005 11:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Is it snowy in Glasgow? It melted in about an hour here.

― KeefW (kmw), Saturday, 26 November 2005 12:27 (eighteen years ago) link

It appears to be wet.

I tried to go and see the gussets prior to stumbling along to pop league. I had been informed that they were going to play for about 20 mins very soon after the club opened at 1030. We arrived early, sat around while they played some horrible music, watched loads of horrible people arrive. A band came on who sounded like a shit version of Lung Leg. We left.

Not the most amazing experience of my entire life. Pop League on the other hand....

― hmmm (hmmm), Saturday, 26 November 2005 13:41 (eighteen years ago) link

badly organised mini-FAP action, yo: ailsa and i are both going to be ending up at the woodside tonight (friday) to see swimmer one et al. we were originally going to try to hook up with accentmonkey in uisge beatha on woodlands road, but that plan appears to have fallen through ... either way, i imagine i'll be in uisge beatha for about 9pm, and ailsa might be there a bit earlier.

and then woodside ho!

anyone else?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 2 December 2005 09:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Why has the Uisge plan fallen through? I'm still planning on going before going to see Camera Obscura.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 2 December 2005 09:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Also Ally, do you have birthday-type plans this weekend?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 2 December 2005 09:42 (eighteen years ago) link

he's thinking about getting the umbilical cord cut

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 2 December 2005 10:29 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm here! Hello Glasgow!

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 2 December 2005 11:15 (eighteen years ago) link

Blimey, are you back?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 2 December 2005 12:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Why has the Uisge plan fallen through?

trish said her brother had booked a meal for tonight at 7pm. didn't she?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 2 December 2005 12:44 (eighteen years ago) link

yus:

Well, my stupid brother has booked our posh food for Friday instead of Saturday. Which means we have to be at the restaurant at 7pm! V. early.
So, who will meet us for pints on Saturday instead?
-- accentmonkey (tris...), Yesterday 12:14 AM. (accentmonkey) (later)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 2 December 2005 12:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Woops, looks like she posted that at the same time I was posting, or I just didn't read it properly.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 2 December 2005 12:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I forgot to mention this but to those interested, I will be attempting to try Glasgow this New Year's Eve. Hope to see you!

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Friday, 2 December 2005 12:51 (eighteen years ago) link

stevem, that would rock. hard. although so far i think my NYE is going to involve staying sober so i can drive between two different parties. hmm. that will be ... novel.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 2 December 2005 13:26 (eighteen years ago) link

See, there's this thing called a taxi ...

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 2 December 2005 13:43 (eighteen years ago) link

On Hogmanay?

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Friday, 2 December 2005 13:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Cozen and I are hoping to go to Optimo NYE, Steve. Maybe Lauren and Ally too?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 2 December 2005 14:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I would be v keen on that (should i buy a ticket asap?), and could hopefully persude Alix if she isn't initially.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Friday, 2 December 2005 14:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I was drunk when I said that but I stand by it

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 2 December 2005 14:14 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm going to move fast on this. When do they usually sell out?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 2 December 2005 14:27 (eighteen years ago) link

at the first hint of success

have you read ally's latest "review"?

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 2 December 2005 14:52 (eighteen years ago) link

I am not going to any optimo

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 2 December 2005 14:53 (eighteen years ago) link
