fergie's playing with what exactly?

― sarahluv, Saturday, 9 April 2005 14:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Wait and see!

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 9 April 2005 14:59 (nineteen years ago) link

I think I will wait and not see, actually.

fergie's hard life is reflected in his hard playing; it's so hard, in fact, that it's impossible.

it's a shame, to miss it.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 9 April 2005 15:03 (nineteen years ago) link

cook! you haven't? have you? bad cook.

i'm tired...i don't know which records to play. bah

― sarahluv, Saturday, 9 April 2005 15:15 (nineteen years ago) link

fergie just sent me a message, asking if I could arrange an electro-acoustic guitar, for them, for tonight, because theirs is broken.

I can't.

can you?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 9 April 2005 15:19 (nineteen years ago) link

i don't think so.

i am guitarless.

― sarahluv, Saturday, 9 April 2005 15:27 (nineteen years ago) link

anyone is welcome, to try.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 9 April 2005 15:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Glasgow was good to me, tonight. I got to dance to my own song, then Pat Nevin gave me a lift.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 10 April 2005 02:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I read your txt message in my sleep.

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 10 April 2005 07:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Does Glasgow fancy helping the homeless on Thursday night (14th April)?

My boys Dead City Radio will be joined by very nice people Down the Tiny Steps, The B-Men, Adam Beattie and Therisingson at a benefit we've organised for the Big Issue.

It will take place at Barfly doors at 7pm.

Interested and kindly people can e-mail me for tickets or pay at the door!

ally, you met pat nevin? I am online for about a minute, but if you are pub quizzing text me and i will try and convince the mister to come with me...

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 10 April 2005 17:36 (nineteen years ago) link

ailsa, I saw you today. in glasgow central. you were five yards away, I should have shouted. I apologise for not shouting.

hi!

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 10 April 2005 20:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I was in Glasgow Central lots. First time, I was in a hurry, second time I was just ambling and trying to blend in with Hearts fans since I'd just got off a train with about a thousand of them, third time I was a bit tipsy. I didn't see you anyway.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 11 April 2005 05:10 (nineteen years ago) link

jed, i believe ally's band is playing on friday. also, there's an optimo-related fundraiser for sudan relief efforts at the brunswick hotel.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 11 April 2005 09:50 (nineteen years ago) link

"alice band"

i'm barred on the order of my boss.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 11 April 2005 11:49 (nineteen years ago) link

but now, you know about those things and can plan accordingly.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 11 April 2005 11:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Did you find a guitar for Fergie?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 11 April 2005 12:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I wondered why she wasn't at the wedding.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 11 April 2005 13:54 (nineteen years ago) link

poor old fergie.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 13:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I can provide an electric, for what it's worth...

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Monday, 11 April 2005 14:25 (nineteen years ago) link

browsing ths thread just got rid of my hangover. result!

lauren - the brunswick hotel fundraiser is actualy optimo unrelated. however, you should come on sunday for one drink. i can arrange for the doormen to have you escorted from the premises on the stroke of midnight to allieviate any concerns of missing monday. if not, enjoy yr glasgow weekend!

thanks! sounds good.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 17:23 (nineteen years ago) link

What time are you on at on Friday, oh Dotty one? I have to go out for a work-colleague-type meal at best restaurant in Paisley (yes, I know, but it is really nice, notwithstanding the lack of competition) straight after work, but can be in Glasgow later. But will I get there in time?

I am so out of touch with popular culture, Franz Ferdinand are the only people I have heard of on stirmonster's list. Oh, and Club 69, but only because their flyers are on the counter of the place I buy my lunch. (OK, maybe I am aware of their existence on more levels than that).

I think I may have encountered Samba YaBamba at some point also, but alcohol was probably involved so I've forgotten again. Nice name, though.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 11 April 2005 17:31 (nineteen years ago) link

I am so out of touch with popular culture

join the club! supposedly they're all glaswegnas but i've hardly heard of any of them either. perhaps i should get out more?

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 11 April 2005 17:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, I missed Bloc Party. I've heard of them too. They aren't Glaswegian though.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 11 April 2005 17:42 (nineteen years ago) link

thanks, for the offer, scotstvo, but the problem must have been solved, I imagine and hope.

I'm going to be in glasgow, tomorrow, for the afternoon, and I will be back for good, for better or worse, from friday.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 17:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know when we are on. It opens at 8. Maybe 9 or 10, I suppose. Mr Twitch's things always scare me a little, but I'm sure it will be fun.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I will be in glasgow, from thursday.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Mr Twitch's things always scare me a little

ha ha! how so?

i wonder how long this thread takes to load on dal up?

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:16 (nineteen years ago) link

on the internet in india, you mean?

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:17 (nineteen years ago) link

*groan*

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, I should be finished pigging out on our company expense account by then. Cozen, I shall rectify our near miss at Central by saying hi to you, if I see you.

(xpost - or maybe not, if you are going to make puns like that)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:20 (nineteen years ago) link

that should of course have read 'dial up' and above should have read 'glaswegians'.

my poor wee computer's keyboard is dying.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:25 (nineteen years ago) link

there's an h in dhal

stir, go to settings at the bottom of the page and check the box where it asks you something like "display last 50 answers only"

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:28 (nineteen years ago) link

also good for the monster kompakt etc threads on ilm (you can override that option at any point an each thread).

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:29 (nineteen years ago) link

thanks for the tip jed! i should have sussed that years ago.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Mr Twitch's things always scare me because they are established as very cool and are full of very cool people and I am not very cool. But I have learned to not be scared of lots of other things, over the years, so it's OK. I have also learned that not being cool is not necessarily a barrier.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 11 April 2005 22:40 (nineteen years ago) link

ally cool

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 22:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Richie Rich.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 11 April 2005 22:59 (nineteen years ago) link

you're trying to refute my claim by making a completely outrageous counter-claim?

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:02 (nineteen years ago) link

being cool is the pits, don't be cool, be interesting!

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:08 (nineteen years ago) link

or if you can't be interesting just be nice!

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:08 (nineteen years ago) link

and if you can't be either just be quiet and mysterious.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:09 (nineteen years ago) link

people trying to be cool or thinking they are cool has always bewildered me as it just seems such a waste of energy. perhaps i'm subconciously jealous as i'm a blundering uncool bufoon. i sometimes think you are either born cool or uncool and in general the 'cool' gene is pretty scarce in scotland. this might be a good thing.

another thing that bewilders me is when people go to a club / bar etc. because they think it is the 'cool' place to go. what an odd reason to base your night out choice on.

jed is pretty cool though and manages to carry it off quite pleasantly.
