Definitely finished by 11pm, yes. Headline band probably on at 9pm.

Ouch.

Crime really doesn't pay.

I don't know, it sounds like they all had rather nice cars.

and they get to chisel dicks off

That's the life!

Meanwhile, 45p shots all round. Cheers!

Yeah, would be brilliant if that actually happened :-) Instead I'm now going to pay about a fiver for a £3.50 bottle of wine out of Tesco, and all the menko Weston's Organic Cider drinkers are going to be bankrupt.

sic if you're in town on sat, the magician's playing

he is? where? and when are we getting the "vito sucks" t shirts printed?

I'll wear a 'vito sucks' shirt

that looks alright but i'm working 7am on sunday :/

it gets a thumbs up from me.

Do we have weekend or Monday drink plans? No, of course we don't, we're Glasgow and we don't do FAPs.

poo, I'm getting in on Sunday arvo. esp poo as I've seen them together once and Vito solo twice!

Monday in the Pot Still, whenever people can get away from work? duck off early, tell 'em it's to go drinking with people from the interwebs - that should work, right?

jed I should be in McSorleys before Hung Up, will ilxmail you my phone #.

Six hours backwards on a train, with no window, and both reading lights broken. Eat my scrote, Branson.

Ouch, been there. The most irritating thing is that it's just because they've installed the seats wrong - there's a luggage rack half-a-dozen rows in front that gets the window that should be yours.

So who's going to the Pot Still tomorrow then?

I can't make it along tonight, unfortunately - I've fucked up my shoulder playing badminton. Was hoping it would be better by now, but I've woken this morning in absolute agony - gonna have to go for some physio asap.

Sorry to have missed you this time round, Sic - safe travels.

I'm going to come along to the Pot Still straight after work, so about 6pm, then head up to the ABC about 7pm to catch the delectable Zola Jesus before Fever Ray.

:( ward! all the best for recovery.

anyone else? has grimly been poked abt this?

I've lost his phone number and am a social-network-free zone at work, anyone else able to oblige?

Am not actually sure I'll make it myself, tbh, but I'll do my very bestest.

Ha ha, never change, Glasgow.

I work in the middle of the countryside! City centre working people have no excuse though (except Ward, he has a good excuse).

Totally late to thread, and a total stranger, but I can't recommend the five tapas for £10 deal in Stereo on a Monday enough. I've never been to the Pot Still, I must try it.

Enjoy Fever Ray, those of you going, and try not get too wound up by the over-enthusiastic security staff at the o2 ABC...

it was me and krakow with sic and his mates. v. nice to meet them & no, i didn't get my ass in gear to go out last night.

earlier on today i was in town with my mum heading to john lewis along sauchihall street. just outside bhs there were some buskers playing with quite a full set up - drums, bass guitar and a singer - the singer was miked through an amp. just as i was approaching they were playing radiohead's "creep" and the singer was singing that line "i wish i was special/ you're so fucking special" and he actually sang "fucking special" which i instantly took exception to. does thom yorke sing "fucking special" twice in the song? because this singer did. it made me feel a bit depressed to hear that sung in public.

well, i got a bit riled up about it, maybe too much so. once they had finished the song i went up to the guy who was singing and told him that i really thought he shouldn't sing "fucking" on a public street (i said "the f word" even though i normally wouldn't) with families and children and whatever else walking up and down and the guy and the rest of the "band" just stared at me like i was mental, which got me even more riled up so i asked the guy if he thought that was acceptable. they all just stared at me til the guitar guy said "noted" very sarcastically and i walked away feeling like a mad person. but i think i was right to confront the guy no? i would never do that sort of thing but i don't think it was right to sing the f word.

the end.

In the original version of the song he only says 'fucking' and never 'very'.

One of the things I like about Britain is the rather cavalier attitude towards language in public places. It's refreshing and nice.

Sorry I never made it out, had some stuff to do on the way home from work and by the time I got a bus into town it would have been nearer seven by the time I got in, just in time to have a beer and turn round and go home again.

That's great jed and you were right, if for no other reason than if swearing in public doesn't attract disapproval, what do you do when you really want to let rip. Also because that song is such a lame example of it. I sometimes want to do stuff like that but have no idea how to tick kids off, even the ones who were pulling my neighbour's fence apart last week. Sorry it didn't really work out.

Very pleased to have FAP'd with the select few.

I'll in be in town on the 16th (week on Thursday) to see Wilco - it would be good to meet up if anyone's available...

That'll be three nights out in a row next week for me if I make it into town on a Thursday - still, would be good to meet a new face and I believe I still owe you a beer for automating the SPL predictor and saving me some counting up. Tentative yes from me. Suspect Mono and the Note will be busy pre-gig (it's at the Barrowlands, aye?), so consider this request suitably NOTMONOed.

Grenades siege at city flats

Blimey.

this women look really familiar.

oh right, they look like every single old woman in glasgow, that's why.

Whoever invented that hairdo should have patented it.

My mum is completely obsessed with the fact that Glasgow women walk around in pairs looking identical. I hadn't even noticed it was a thing until she pointed it out, and it totally is.

I would bet good money that at least one of those women is named Jean.

wee fat coats

The Pope's got a gig on at Bellahouston Park, so apparently we're having a traffic apocalypse that day. Will absolutely try to make it though, what time you over at?

There's a chance I'll be shooting Wilco, if I can't get the go ahead to shoot the Pope that is.

when i met krakow i told him i had seen him cycling along maryhill road once, from my living room window, then i saw him tonight as well and i shouted "4lex!"at him out of my window like a crazy person.

now he probably thinks i'm a nutter who stands looking out of my window all day and shouting at people.

It was a grand coincidence. I didn't mind one bit.

It's good to have hobbies.

It looked like a good window for it too.

One has to play to one's strengths after all.
