Is that ungrammatical? I wouldn't know.

Great Jefferson Starship record by the way... Cheers!

Aberdeen weekend after next? Not possible?

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 9 May 2005 22:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I'll see what I can do.

Ailsa, I'm not sure I can go any more - I am going away on Friday morning and if I don't do some packing between now and then I will have nothing to wear and I am already doing stuff tonight and tomorrow so Thursday is my only chance. There are no names on the tickets, so I can post you them if you want. I got another one the other day, so there are now 6 free places if you want to take people. Sorry! I am disorganised and should have done less faffing at the weekend.

Oh, don't worry about it. I'm not that desperate for free wine, honest, I just thought it would be a good excuse to go out with you for booze. Where are you going, when are you back and do you want to take me shopping, with me providing food/booze/coffee breaks as and when required?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 15:51 (nineteen years ago) link

are we at the beginning of the end of an era?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 16:57 (nineteen years ago) link

What, me starting voluntarily going shopping, or me turning down free booze? Or something else entirely?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Goodbye, 148.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Where will I go?

: ((((

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Eh? What? Where are you going?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:27 (nineteen years ago) link

I used to go to 148, far too often. Maybe now I'll have to go to Spain.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Who is having to move out of R3nfr3w Str33t, & why, please?

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 18:27 (nineteen years ago) link

WE DEMAND ANSWERS!!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 21:25 (nineteen years ago) link

They finally caught up with Khan. Glasgow, find us a beautiful 3 bedroom place by July, please.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 07:03 (nineteen years ago) link

...that is cheap, central and has understanding neighbours...

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 07:34 (nineteen years ago) link

...and at least one warm room.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 07:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Ailsa, I'm being organised and Thursday could be back on - call me!

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 07:35 (nineteen years ago) link

You live on Wenfoo Stweet? I don't know why it has to be in code, but still...

I think, where I would most like to live in Glasgow, now, in my 'middle youth', is in the Merchant City.

Sadly, I believe this is impossible.

I would also like to live in Marlow, I have decided.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 07:46 (nineteen years ago) link

they are building 10000000000 new flats, every day, in the merchant city, PJ.

unfortunately, all 10000000000 of them cost 10000000000 pounds, probably.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 08:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Nah, the new ones are all for students (probably the ones who will have to live there once they've sold off Jordanhill). I live in Merchant City East, according to some estate agents.

I am waiting to find out when I can Try Dublin More.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 08:59 (nineteen years ago) link

It was the students I was hoping to avoid. I will have to think again.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 09:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Now I want a house. Probably in Portland.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 09:35 (nineteen years ago) link

miller is moving to glasgow?
i'll find you guys a new flat. i've already spotted a few contenders.

'for keith it's sausage heartache. it's alan who takes home the bacon...'

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 10:44 (nineteen years ago) link

No, I'm not moving to Glasgow. I am just idly speculating on where I'd like to live if I did. But I'm not. I doubt I ever will. But I wouldn't mind, all else being equal. Which it isn't.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 10:57 (nineteen years ago) link

are they tearing 148 down?

just when you find out nitsuh lives below you, too.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 13:03 (nineteen years ago) link

do I want to interview ariel pink?

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 13:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, poor Nitsuh. Ask Ariel Pink if he is a dick.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 13:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Matthew Dear @ subclub on friday. I'm going - are you?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 13:52 (nineteen years ago) link

there's basically no chance you won't get on the "guestlist".

I'm tearing up.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 17:05 (nineteen years ago) link

PJ's last post=the 3000th

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 17:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Madchen, I tried but failed to get a picture of Bonzo. BONZO!

Glasgow missed an excellent evening of pervy men in bed in their kilts, free booze, women who looked like they had been drawn by Terry Gilliam, slimy bruschetta, Miss Marple hats, Wee Andra from Rab C Nesbitt, Paul Young (the fishing one, not the Love Will Tear Us Apart murdering one), drunken cheque wielding and racist cartoons. Antique fairs RULE! (also free booze and men with little sausages)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:19 (nineteen years ago) link

What the fuck are you talking about! That lot were exhibiting themselves; in their kilts; in bed!

Do you mean BONZO from LED ZEP?

― KeefW (kmw), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Sorry about the language; I am enjoying being mildly drunk.

― KeefW (kmw), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Hooray! Me 3000th!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 13 May 2005 13:58 (nineteen years ago) link

No, I mean a little dog called Bonzo. That I can't find a picture of on the internet. I am in love. With a little blue doleful pottery dog.

A man was exhibiting a bed by being in it, in a kilt, and pointing out (to anyone who wasn't scared off) a video that he had playing continually in his little stall of him on telly with Nicki Chapman talking about furniture. He was really really creepy.

I had a thought about Glasgow last night whilst walking over the wee metal bridge that's next to the Bells Bridge and that thought was that I DIDN'T RECOGNISE GLASGOW ANY MORE. It kind of freaked me out, all these swanky flats and shiny buildings and regeneration projects. I looked around and if it hadn't been for the Finnieston crane and the top of the University tower, I could have been anywhere and it didn't feel like home.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 13 May 2005 15:41 (nineteen years ago) link

I have been rereading this thread. It was funny, in late February and maybe March 2004. I'm not saying it's not now. Or that it is.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 14 May 2005 12:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Matthew Dear was rubbish/relentless/dull - crazy techno people too. i've got such a bloody headache. is anyone wanting to see Lindstrom tonight? i think i can get people on teh guest list, just holler!

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 14 May 2005 13:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, I thought you said that was Sunday.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 14 May 2005 13:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Anyway, it's not. I would like to go, in a way, but on the other hand I am feeling somewhat ropey. I think, on balance, no.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 14 May 2005 13:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I feel a bit dopey

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 14 May 2005 18:34 (nineteen years ago) link

you rang?

I have an exam in edinburgh tomorrow.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 08:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, so that's why you're coming. Maybe it is a bad idea to try Aberdeen, on balance. Perhaps we should concentrate on EUROVISION PARTY instead. It is the 50th one!

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 10:49 (nineteen years ago) link

ooh, Eurovision Party Please!

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 10:55 (nineteen years ago) link

fancy dress.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:00 (nineteen years ago) link

I have already been invited to one.

So ner.

I shall not attend.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:01 (nineteen years ago) link

an obvious choice of party, for you, I think. what's your platform?

two crossposts

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:01 (nineteen years ago) link

who can teach me evidence?

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:06 (nineteen years ago) link
