i'm theoretically up for it, though i have a nagging feeling i'm already doing something (this is not an excuse to avoid mono)

I'm in Krakow (appropriately), so I miss the chance of my first Glasgow ILX meet-up.
― krakow, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 19:59 (sixteen years ago) link
damn.

i wish i'd went to see the 39 steps at the gft. glasgow, fuck you. i will try you more in a while.
― Dy, Thursday, 29 May 2008 02:09 (sixteen years ago) link
i think i'm going to be at the theatre tomorrow night, so won't be able to make mono. wank.

Fiendish! I was praying you were on! *high five*

I gotta say I really enjoyed this phenomenon when I was on vacation recently (in Hollywood, CA) where I would stay up late enough to actually encounter Brits on ILX. I did that many nights, and it seems I'm doing it again. Hello! It's 4 AM here. But I'm happy.
Hallo!
― Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You, Saturday, 31 May 2008 10:41 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm going to meet impudent harlot at mono at around 8 o'clock.
well, i haven't actually arranged it yet but i think he will come. i have a phone number and will arrange it so who is in?
― jed_, Sunday, 1 June 2008 00:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh yes.
― Alba, Sunday, 1 June 2008 01:27 (sixteen years ago) link
good.
― jed_, Sunday, 1 June 2008 01:33 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm sorry...I opened my wallet and moths flew out...just can't afford to go drinking right now :-(((
― Ward Fowler, Sunday, 1 June 2008 07:36 (sixteen years ago) link
ha! sorry, bimble, i was on and then off again in a flash (ooer).
― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 1 June 2008 10:29 (sixteen years ago) link
I'll be at Mono, though I have a 7.45am flight tomorrow so I'll be going home fairly early I'm afraid.
― Madchen, Sunday, 1 June 2008 15:10 (sixteen years ago) link
i won't, i'm afraid. sorry!
― ailsa, Sunday, 1 June 2008 16:59 (sixteen years ago) link
didn't go to the theatre ...
... and totally forgot about this until 30 seconds ago. fucking hell. sorry. hope you had a top night.
― grimly fiendish, Sunday, 1 June 2008 21:34 (sixteen years ago) link
that a a good small gathering. had fun in the pub and impudent harlot did a good job of joining in on our UK (big brother!) chat. some good optimo too!
― jed_, Monday, 2 June 2008 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link
we should try to drink more this summer. i've not seen some of you in aeons. i'm cross i missed this, especially through my own dickwittery.
― grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 08:58 (sixteen years ago) link
yes! we should try drinking more, especially as I've finished school now.
p.s. hello krakow! nice to see you join the ranks of glasgow ILXors.
― Cathy, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:21 (sixteen years ago) link
especially as I've finished school now
yay! didn't realise that. congrats.
that reminds me ... i'm due some results. should go and look, i guess :/
off to the library later to pick up a load of stats books. light summer reading :(
― grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:48 (sixteen years ago) link
I really must try and get through to Glasgow at some point this year. It would be good to meet you fine people in person.
― treefell, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:49 (sixteen years ago) link
that would rock, too. and, to be honest, give us the kind of impetus we need to actually organise some kind of beer action.
― grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 09:50 (sixteen years ago) link
I might even try and make it up for that.
― aldo, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 10:03 (sixteen years ago) link
LET'S DO IT.
― grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 10:05 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah scottish football prediction FAP (I promise I will buy treefell that pint I have been promising him all season)!
― ailsa, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 22:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I was wondering if it would be a good idea to come through for one of the euro2008 games this month?
It's easiest for me to do a Saturday or Sunday but I suppose a Friday after work is possible too.
Unfortunately with me living in Fife I need to get the 10pm train from Queen Street to be sure of catching the last train back home (9.30pm on a Sunday!).
― treefell, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 10:53 (sixteen years ago) link
i'd certainly be up for that. onimo's off the internet at the moment, but i'll find out when i'm next speaking to him if he's not back by then.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 12:47 (sixteen years ago) link
weekend might be better so we can involve non-football types at some point rather than gawping at a telly all night...
― ailsa, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 12:52 (sixteen years ago) link
er, yeh.
― grimly fiendish, Wednesday, 4 June 2008 23:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Hi Cathy. Real life people on the internets, shocking!
Krakow was amazing by the way.
― krakow, Friday, 6 June 2008 09:15 (sixteen years ago) link
i want to try glasgow in the summer.
― ken c, Friday, 6 June 2008 09:21 (sixteen years ago) link
GOOD LAD. bring a nice jacket for me :)
(actually: that was edinburgh, wasn't it? even so.)
― grimly fiendish, Friday, 6 June 2008 09:29 (sixteen years ago) link
ken c, you must try glasgow ASAP. it has been far too long.
krakow, I'm glad you liked krakow. perhaps if you hadn't it would've triggered some terrible identity crisis. I have never been but people always tell me how nice it is (followed by "don't go to warsaw it's rubbish".
― Cathy, Friday, 6 June 2008 09:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I heard that latter Warsaw sentiment a couple of times while I was over there too.
― krakow, Friday, 6 June 2008 09:54 (sixteen years ago) link
maybe they meant walsall.
glasgow will be tried. hopefully will actually get to FAP with some of you this time too ;) ;)
― ken c, Friday, 6 June 2008 09:58 (sixteen years ago) link
It would be great to see you, Ken. It was great to see Impudent Harlot. I hope Optimo was good.
― Madchen, Friday, 6 June 2008 13:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Hello people, some of us are going to see My Bloody Valentine on the 3rd of July, there might even be some out-of-towners around. Shall we go to the pub?
― ailsa, Monday, 23 June 2008 07:26 (sixteen years ago) link
oh, sound, are you going on the 3rd? i thought you were one of the kool kids who'd bought their tickets quickly and were going to the first night.
anyway, yeh, i suggested this on the MBV thread too, and it's a good idea.
― grimly fiendish, Monday, 23 June 2008 09:06 (sixteen years ago) link
Monkeys will be knocking around Glasgow for that whole entire weekend, if peeps want to do anything.
― accentmonkey, Monday, 23 June 2008 10:49 (sixteen years ago) link
yes!
― grimly fiendish, Monday, 23 June 2008 11:45 (sixteen years ago) link
Well, Ailsa and Madchen both have my number, and I will hopefully see you on the Thursday night, so we can make some kind of ear-soothing plan for later in the weekend. Hooray!
― accentmonkey, Monday, 23 June 2008 12:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Excellent. I already have permanent tinnitus, so won't be going to MBV, but a MonkeyFAP would be great.
― Madchen, Monday, 23 June 2008 13:05 (sixteen years ago) link
i can't post it on the appropriate thread without ruining the flow, but ailsa: i was hoping you'd do exactly that with the "post in the style of the poster above you thing". perfect :)
― grimly fiendish, Monday, 23 June 2008 16:15 (sixteen years ago) link
it was too good an opportunity to miss!

When did you move to Shotts?
― Alba, Saturday, 28 June 2008 12:30 (sixteen years ago) link
we had that in the diary a week ago :p
― grimly fiendish, Saturday, 28 June 2008 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Right, peeps, can we get some drinking plans organised for Thursday if we're going to. I should be around from 5-ish. My vote = NOT MONO (will be heaving pre-gig, would have thought)
― ailsa, Monday, 30 June 2008 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
You will be heaving pre-gig! Nice one! I have a cold and my ears are a bit blocked up so I might not be able to hear anything but nonetheless I will probably be going on Wednesday, so I guess will miss you lot.
― Keith, Monday, 30 June 2008 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link
bah, that's not what I meant and you know it :-)
I suspect you will still be able to hear them even with blocked ears. Anyone know about the support yet for Thursday, you Wednesday mob are getting the Pastels apparently.
― ailsa, Monday, 30 June 2008 21:20 (sixteen years ago) link
though the beer in Mono is quite like to make me heave, bleurgh.
