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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

thanks a lot!

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

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.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 14 January 2005 01:09 (nineteen years ago) link

Poor Keithy. Have you asked the National Health to send a busty nurse to come and bathe you daily?

Oxfam are saying this is the hat from Dog On Wheels. I'm not so sure - I think they nicked it off that Pratchett bloke. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=58711&item=3865489681&rd=1#ebayphotohosting

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 14 January 2005 13:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, Cookie, wear the jacket. I vote that you wear the jacket. You could do a gig at Keith's house, just for him. In fact, all bands could do that, it would be Keithfest.

― Puddin'Head Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 14 January 2005 13:24 (nineteen years ago) link

How about a Nazi uniform, they're all the rage.

― KeithW (kmw), Friday, 14 January 2005 13:33 (nineteen years ago) link

An RAF jacket with a swastika armband for maximum crossover appeal.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 14 January 2005 13:37 (nineteen years ago) link

The brim on that hat looks too wide for it to be the DOW vid one.

DOW vid FEATURING ALLY'S GRANDAD I meant to say.

Keith, if you poor arse is broken in half, do you consider it half full or half empty?

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 14 January 2005 19:31 (nineteen years ago) link

That's a bit of a half-arsed effort isn't it?

― KeithW (kmw), Friday, 14 January 2005 20:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Are Oxfam selling my Grandpa, too?

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 14 January 2005 21:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I bought him. very cheap. affordable, nice too.

― cºzen (Cozen), Saturday, 15 January 2005 00:00 (nineteen years ago) link

a lie.

― cºzen (Cozen), Saturday, 15 January 2005 00:04 (nineteen years ago) link

He's not nice.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 15 January 2005 02:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Ally, you're so rude. He looks a very nice, helpful man, in the film.

(Not clingfilm.)

― Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 15 January 2005 11:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Mark E Smith dun his hip in as well, same way, but in Newcastle.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:20 (nineteen years ago) link

There's another thing I have in common with him then.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Actually, hang on, I've nothing in common with him at all.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 17 January 2005 13:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Smith was well hard, he checked himself out before he was mended and got a pal to drive him back to Salford.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 17 January 2005 16:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Keith, didn't you ever run into Mark E Smith when he was an Edinburgh Man?

― Puddin'Head Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:07 (nineteen years ago) link

From: Lynsey
Q.Hey Stevie, hows it going? Hope the new year finds you well! I may be abusing the Q & A section here, but are you playing a solo show in Glasgow on the 21st by any chance? I heard something about St Mary's Cathedral but I can't seem to find any concrete details, times etc, anywhere...?
A.
Yes well there is a Small Creatures show on friday at St Mary's also featuring Dot2Dot and some films..I'm going to be on first crooning some country numbers to try and get used to singing again. I get pretty freaked out by these things so I've not been telling anybody so keep it under your hat..okay!

Stevie - 17/01/05

(I doubt very much St Mary's Cathedral is made of concrete.)

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:18 (nineteen years ago) link

what is the world coming 2?

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Like the Prince-style talk there...

Mr.Stringbender, sad to say no, although several legendary people that no-one seems 2 know but everyone knows about said they met him when he lived here. Grimly Fiendish, who posts on ILM lived in a flat opposite an address that's mentioned in one of his songs.

I don't know 4 how long he was an "Edinburgh Man" for 2 be honest. I'm not a huge fan of the band, though he's very funny. There's a bit in Stuart Maconie's biography that's him interviewing Smith in a pub that I go to quite frequently.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 17 January 2005 22:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I can see this numbers game being a continuing problem...

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 00:49 (nineteen years ago) link

That wasn't Cathy, it was RJG and so is this.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 02:04 (nineteen years ago) link

How disappointing, I thought you were going to say it was Prince.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:01 (nineteen years ago) link

well, in a way!

when I get signed to rough trade, I am going to release an album of amyl nitrate-fuelled prince covers called "the prince & the poppers".

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Is St Mary's Cathedral *the* cathedral, the one near the necropolis? I thought that was St Mungo's. Perhaps it is just a clever name for a bar.

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 15:58 (nineteen years ago) link

That's what I thought; St.Mary's Cathedral is in Edinburgh. On Palmerston Place.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:02 (nineteen years ago) link

st. mary's is on the great western road.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:33 (nineteen years ago) link

The Gilbert Scott church?

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Where's St.Midge's?

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:34 (nineteen years ago) link

st. mary's edin.=GGS, yes.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 18 January 2005 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Funny, I haven't seen Mary, Mungo and Midge since I was a kid, but a quick look up the web reveals its "gritty" nature, something I never noticed before:
