I wonder what his favourite band was, then.

The computer has eaten my breathlessly excited contribution to this thread.

I stood next to Alex Kapranos at the Woody after the Doctor Spock gig. Except he didn't arrive in time to see Ally. Shame on him. He missed some spectacularly out-of-tune guitaring and some arse wiggling (it got much better though). He's also much shorter than he looks, and in need of a shave. Not the dapper young man I think he thought was.

I will be out of the country the next time D2D play, which is rather a shame. I would maybe have become their stalker or something otherwise.

I walked past the cathedral last night where the next gig will take place. I burst out laughing. I think I said 'fucking hell' out loud.

It is very big.

Oh, AND - Winchester sold out for the first time ever! 300 bodies crammed together! A strangely fitting occasion, I suppose.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 10 January 2005 17:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Winchester Cathedral.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 10 January 2005 19:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Ally, Lucy has just said that "dot to dot are the most exciting band since the Rapture" on the Winchester club list... Who said it first, her; you; mental man Murdoch? Is it just coincidence. I think the Rapture are rubbish.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 10 January 2005 21:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't like The Rapture much myself. Murdoch, apparently, said it first. Maybe he doesn't like Ther Rapture either and that was his point.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 00:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm sure not Ally. I just found out you're in the band. I take it that's wee Patrick singing. Glad to hear it went well. Will come and see you when you play and I'm better.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 00:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Damnation, I missed the programme about Lincoln Cathedral last night.

I prefer Big Audio Dynamite to The Rapture. Both bands feature references to horses on tracks, I think.

Did Ally C wear Mooro's RAF jacket?

― Puddin'Head Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 10:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Lincoln was good. There were crappy collapsing rose windows and a mad swan.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 10:53 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm saving the RAF jacket for when I play at the RAF club. February 18th.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Good God, you get around.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm BRAIN WILSON!

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:39 (nineteen years ago) link

indeed you are

black bunny on friday?

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Where, this time?

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:48 (nineteen years ago) link

oh!

― cºzen (Cozen), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 21:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Glasgow! Home of Optimo! Requires further study, yes.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:00 (nineteen years ago) link

I have to write.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Glasgow is windy. I think my windys are coming in.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:14 (nineteen years ago) link

they come in draughty and more draughty. what a choice.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:20 (nineteen years ago) link

It's windy here too. I think the whole country may be razed to the ground by the morning. Best protect and survive.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:21 (nineteen years ago) link

here it's windy.

― cºzen (Cozen), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

My Mum phoned me at work to tell me to beware of wind. I promised her I would also put on a vest and eat properly.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I wish I had some vests.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:25 (nineteen years ago) link

I knew I shouldn't have built my house out of straw.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I wish I could eat properly.

There's a wolf, at the door.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, not only are there wolves around here too; there are fucking pork sausages in the fridge.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:36 (nineteen years ago) link

ally's room is like a fridge except that his light doesn't come on when you open his door or, even, when you switch the light switch.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:41 (nineteen years ago) link

I bet he doesn't defrost it either. Bloody students.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I bet he uses more clingfilm, in there, than he does, in the fridge.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 22:56 (nineteen years ago) link

As a preservatif?

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 23:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Has he done his windies?

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 11:56 (nineteen years ago) link

oh, I had forgotten about the clingfilm on windaes "idea".

I just meant because he uses no clingfilm, in the fridge, whatsoever.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 11:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I remember when I was a student, we spent several hours with a hairdryer trying to extract a packet of fish fingers that the freezer compartment had started to eat. That was in Edinburgh as well, where you might've expected people to have giant stainless steel fridges stuff full of things much posher than fish fingers. We saw a live fish finger at deep sea world once.

― KeithW (kmw), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 12:08 (nineteen years ago) link

We defrosted our freezer recently - this involved me and RJG battering at a wall of ice with kitchen utensils until they all broke.

I should work the clingfilm idea.

I use TUPPERWARE, in the fridge.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 17:54 (nineteen years ago) link

but not in the sink.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 12 January 2005 18:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I like this manly approach to defrosting. I will try it next time I have to. Although, I might have one of these anti-defrost fridges now. We did try that with ours years ago, but it was difficult; all we had was a spoon. It was like Escape from Alcatraz. Plus we got scared about knocking a hole in the "fridge magic" pipes that were kicking about.

the car.

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 13 January 2005 18:33 (nineteen years ago) link

thanks a lot!

PF gave me a good tip, last week, which turned out to be christopher harvie's "deep fried hillman imp".

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 13 January 2005 20:08 (nineteen years ago) link

It's an amazing website that best laid schemes thing. My mother got all excited cause she could see Mosspark boulevard from the top of the rollercoaster at the Empire Exhibition in 1938... Quite amazing colour footage.

― KeithW (kmw), Thursday, 13 January 2005 20:16 (nineteen years ago) link

OK scratch the RAF thing - I'm not playing that anymore. Perhaps at a later date.

Maybe I should wear the jacket, now, in the cathedral, next Friday. I wonder if Mr watson would come through?

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 13 January 2005 22:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Ally "No Email" Cook,

I'd love to, but my arse is currently broken in half. I fell on the ice on the 28th December and have fractured my hip, so I'm pretty much out of action for at least the next six weeks, possibly up to 10 weeks.

So sorry about that, but will have to get together for some drinks, chat and see your band and so on when I get better. Have fun and be excellent to one another.

I'm quite upset that news of my injury hasn't travelled the country, like in Ferris Bueller's day off.

― KeithW (kmw), Thursday, 13 January 2005 23:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Incidentally, my injury clearly rules out asshopping.

― KeithW (kmw), Thursday, 13 January 2005 23:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Also, in case that sounds a little worrying, broke in half is overstating it. I've fractured my right acetabullum, which is the kind of bit at the back of the ball and socket joint in your hip.

― KeithW (kmw), Thursday, 13 January 2005 23:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Keith, have you become an old woman?

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 14 January 2005 01:00 (nineteen years ago) link

I am very sorry to hear about your old woman injury how mean of you cook.

hope you aren't too bored, while it heals!!

ally could send you a bootleg, of one of his gigs, that would ensure you would be, for a little while.
