I'm sure there's a question you're dying for someone to ask there.

No: whatever you imagine is probably more entertaining than the reality. As is usually the case with me.
― grimly fiendish, Monday, 3 August 2009 10:27 (fifteen years ago) link
I forgot I have a meeting in Aberdeen tomorrow, so I'll be back a bit later than expected, but I will be there. In a suit.
― Madchen, Monday, 3 August 2009 21:59 (fifteen years ago) link
We'll be there sometime between half six and seven, I would imagine.

I am in Pret on Sauceyhall street. Can any readers beat that?
― Keith, Tuesday, 4 August 2009 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link
Ow my head hurts. Stupidest idea ever = going to terrible club PLAY after pub. I remember being in there one night with a pal and there was a wee separate late quiet bar rather than TERRIBLE STUDENT NIGHT full of pished weirdos on the pull. Still, beer = £1, so slight win.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 10:43 (fifteen years ago) link
Was good fun though, nice to meet you Mr. C!
― Keith, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 10:45 (fifteen years ago) link
sorry to have missed this, shit happened

£1 beer!!!!
― ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 11:13 (fifteen years ago) link
Drink alcolol responsibly.
― Keith, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 11:15 (fifteen years ago) link
£1 beer does not render the concept of a club where you have a sticker with a number stuck on you then people write rude messages about what they'd like to do to a person of a certain number and put it on a wall any more bearable. We lasted approx half an hour, and that was just for beer. I'd actually rendered myself back sober again by this point.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 11:17 (fifteen years ago) link
this sounds like the kind of outing i could have gotten behind
― The Devil's Avocado (Gukbe), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 11:59 (fifteen years ago) link
Hang the FUCK on, how come my round of four beers cost me £12, then?
And is that what the numbers were for? I didn't even question that. Holy hellfire, I was drunk. Today is proving very, very tough.
Awesome night, anyway. Dr C fucking rules.
― grimly fiendish, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 12:13 (fifteen years ago) link
Special Brew was 3 quid a can
― Keith, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 12:16 (fifteen years ago) link
Miller was £1 a bottle, you should have asked. The only reason to go into twatty clubs is to ask the barman what is on promotion, then drink that.

I bought bloody Miller! Fuck's *sake*. Irritating piss-taking club fuck-ends.
― grimly fiendish, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 13:44 (fifteen years ago) link
sorry I cdn't make it dr. c
can we do the same for tombot tho?
(I can't remember my password for my login :/)
― cozwn (webinar), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 13:57 (fifteen years ago) link
Did you not buy Corona rather than Miller?
We were discussing upcoming Tombot FAP last night. Any excuse for more beer (though not as much as last night, unless it is a weekend or I have the day off. I'm just starting to feel vaguely human again) is good for me.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 14:07 (fifteen years ago) link
AH. That might have been it. Something yellow and fizzy in a bottle, anyway.
Tombot FAP: were we discussing that? I don't really remember ... oh, no, hang on, that was round about the time of the wasabi peas, wasn't it? Aye, it'd be good to get some unkent faces along, too: Krakow, Jim and anyone else who might fancy it?
― grimly fiendish, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 14:52 (fifteen years ago) link
weird night with added chilli puffs
― Dr.C, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
but it was an absolute pleasure to meet everyone - Ailsa, Mr. Ailsa, Grimly, Stet, Keith and Lucy - you were fantastic company.
― Dr.C, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 15:16 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah was great to meet you too... Until the next time.
― Keith, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 15:19 (fifteen years ago) link
Dr C, excessive alcohol has ruined me, so can't take you out for Celtic-watching japes. Was great to meet you though, sorry for lapsing into incoherent gibberish by the end of the night.
Grimly, tombotFAP was discussed earlier in the evening when we were still in the Pot Still.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 15:31 (fifteen years ago) link
It's OK Ailsa -I have a whiskey-tasting reception that I have to go to in an hour. Despite being in good shape this morning considering the ruin of last night, I shall not be partaking of any scotch just in case. Re: gibberish - I will try to email you later if I get the chance.
― Dr.C, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 15:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Sorry. I bailed. I just wasn't feeling into it last night.
― krakow, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 21:06 (fifteen years ago) link
Hi Dr C! It was good to see you. I can't believe you guys went to a student night six weeks before Freshers' Week ffs. Very glad I didn't partake of the poundbeers what with my early meeting and that.
Also, we did it! We organised a Glasgow FAP! Looking forward to seeing Tombot soon.
― Madchen, Thursday, 6 August 2009 11:16 (fifteen years ago) link
I may be able to make the Tombot FAP, depending on the day it happens.
― Greig (treefell), Thursday, 6 August 2009 11:41 (fifteen years ago) link
i should have gone for fish & chips with you madchen!

didn't get to eat mock chops. So must return one day to do that!
― Dr.C, Thursday, 6 August 2009 13:57 (fifteen years ago) link
It was very bad, cheap Chinese rather than F&C so you had a lucky escape. I forgot mock chops.
― Madchen, Thursday, 6 August 2009 16:39 (fifteen years ago) link
did you have a mock chop suey instead?
― ken "save-a-finn" c (ken c), Thursday, 6 August 2009 16:40 (fifteen years ago) link
When's the next one then?

Lance Armstrong is in Glasgow today en route to the Tour Of Ireland on Thursday and he's doing an open invitation ride at 12pm from Paisley today! I'll be there! How excited am I? Very!
"Hey Glasgow - group ride starts at Ashtree House Hotel. 9 Orr Square. Paisley, Scotland. See you there at noon!!"
― krakow, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 09:03 (fifteen years ago) link
Graeme Obree turned up for the ride as well, along with about 300 others. There are a couple very jealous cyclists at work here who missed out on it.
― firestorm of twat rage (onimo), Tuesday, 18 August 2009 15:06 (fifteen years ago) link
Were you there? I rode harder and faster then I ever have in my life. It was an amazing experience, I'm still on a high from it. Being part of 300 cyclists blasting out of Paisley at >20mph in the pouring rain following Lance was a stunning thing.
I'm also on BBC Reporting Scotland: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/player/?item=44534835Report starts at 9:30 minutes, you can see me in the blue jacket and black cycling cap taking my gloves off right in front of the camera at 9:52 onwards for a good few seconds.
I rode it fixed, with a laden courier bag, no lycra in sight, and managed to hold my own. Roadies eat that!
― krakow, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 22:43 (fifteen years ago) link
Bah, most exciting thing to happen in Paisley for years, and I was stuck at work.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 22:56 (fifteen years ago) link
I was at work as well. Good job Lance didn't give people much notice or he'd have given the police a big headache on U2/Arsenal chaos day.
Krakow where did the ride go? I heard they covered about 40km in just over an hour. Apparently Obree cycled up from Ayrshire and had already covered 52km before he arrived.

― firestorm of twat rage (onimo), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 09:45 (fifteen years ago) link
Here's the route: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Tour-de-Paisley
It was a bit more than an hour, but not as much as 90 minutes. Like I say, I've never ridden so fast in my life though.
Obree was there. Everyone would have ridden the 10 miles out to Paisley from Glasgow and then a hard going 10 miles back afterwards!
― krakow, Thursday, 20 August 2009 20:59 (fifteen years ago) link
Except for Lance of course. Bloody lazy bones got a taxi!
