christmas gift-buying related question - does anyone know if the guitar shop by mono still sells those ~£15 ukuleles?
― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 11:17 (thirteen years ago) link
I believe they are £20 now, but other than that yes.
The shop is called 'Strung Out' and this is their website, so you could phone and check what they have in... http://www.strungoutguitars.com/

excellent, thank you.
― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Tuesday, 21 December 2010 14:40 (thirteen years ago) link
No problem. Best of luck.

Glasgow, I am up next weekend at kind of short notice. Not sure when I am available for a pint, but there will be an opportunity.
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Sunday, 13 February 2011 17:46 (thirteen years ago) link
yay! There is a small football match on on Sunday, so not then.
― ailsa, Sunday, 13 February 2011 17:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Immediately after it (lunchtime kick off, no?) may be a time.
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Sunday, 13 February 2011 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Pick a suitable (i.e. not rammed with numpties who are likely to beat me up) pub and that sounds like a plan.
― ailsa, Sunday, 13 February 2011 18:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Right, Sunday lunchtime is A Thing.
Suggestions for where would be good welcomed. I will be in town from about 1300, so somewhere I can get a nice lunch as well would be of benefit. Shame West Beer shut, that might have been a good plan.
I'm sure somebody will say NOT MONO at some point.
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Monday, 14 February 2011 12:08 (thirteen years ago) link
I suspect anywhere on the east side of Glasgow will be rammed with people coming back from Celtic Park, and anywhere with a telly will be rammed full stop. Mono or the Note might actually be an option at this point due to lack of telly, but this entirely depends if your idea of a nice lunch involves tofu.
― ailsa, Monday, 14 February 2011 14:06 (thirteen years ago) link
eh when did west shut?
― conrad, Monday, 14 February 2011 14:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Ah, google suggests it is open again. It shut early last year, did it not?
In which case West seems like an option, unlikely to get a football crowd and with decent food. Any objections?
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Monday, 14 February 2011 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Not walking through Bridgeton after an OF game :-( Wouldn't bet on it not being hoaching after the match either due to proximity to Celtic Park.
― ailsa, Monday, 14 February 2011 17:36 (thirteen years ago) link
It was open in the summer last year as we had a work day out there, btw. Someone else mentioned to me that it had shut, but I never investigated further.
― ailsa, Monday, 14 February 2011 17:37 (thirteen years ago) link
I think both Lucy and Trish have said to me independently it had shut. Oh well, pleased to be proved wrong but Ailsa probably has a point about proximity. Note, then?
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Monday, 14 February 2011 18:14 (thirteen years ago) link
What about the Pot Still? Had a couple of decent FAPs in there, can't see it being an option for the football crowds? Or, if you're after food, how's the Drum & Monkey likely to be for crowds, I can't remember if they have tellies but it never strikes me as a particularly football-watchy sort of a pub?
Are we likely to be many in number, we could probably meet somewhere then find somewhere else if necessary?
― ailsa, Monday, 14 February 2011 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
hey guys what about mono
― Gukbe, Monday, 14 February 2011 18:27 (thirteen years ago) link
YOU ARE HILARIOUS.
(I promise when you come over we will go to Mono and I won't complain)
― ailsa, Monday, 14 February 2011 18:28 (thirteen years ago) link
haha! like i could get anyone out to mono. when i come over it'll be The Belle and then Oran Mor for the more irresponsible among us.
― Gukbe, Monday, 14 February 2011 18:30 (thirteen years ago) link
Yay stupid late nights in Oran Mor :-)
(that needs a pukey hungover emoticon, tbh)
― ailsa, Monday, 14 February 2011 18:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Pot Still fine with me. As to numbers, you and I are the only ones that seem to be coming as yet since nobody else has said anything (although I am sure G will be with you).
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Monday, 14 February 2011 18:38 (thirteen years ago) link
the pot still is shut!
― conrad, Monday, 14 February 2011 18:50 (thirteen years ago) link
j/k ;p
― conrad, Monday, 14 February 2011 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link
This is why Glasgow FAPs are legendary.
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Monday, 14 February 2011 19:00 (thirteen years ago) link
West was open last time I heard, but I also heard that it is rammed on football days.
― Madchen, Monday, 14 February 2011 20:17 (thirteen years ago) link
aldo, just occurred to me - would you prefer a pub with a telly, or is the sight of Hibs on the telly likely to put you off your beer?
― ailsa, Tuesday, 15 February 2011 13:41 (thirteen years ago) link
The latter tbh
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 18:57 (thirteen years ago) link
Right, final decision because I'm leaving now. Pot Still, from 1300, Sunday 20th Feb.
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Thursday, 17 February 2011 16:25 (thirteen years ago) link
I'll not be there until later, game doesn't kick off until 12.30 so won't be back in city centre until nearer 3pm...
― ailsa, Thursday, 17 February 2011 20:07 (thirteen years ago) link
I know, I was only trying to drum up enthusiasm in case anyone is tempted to join us.
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Thursday, 17 February 2011 20:25 (thirteen years ago) link
Due to lack of interest I will be an hour or so later.
― progspeed you! black metallers (aldo), Sunday, 20 February 2011 11:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Hooray for Glasgow miniFAPpage!
― ailsa, Sunday, 20 February 2011 17:20 (thirteen years ago) link
I watched it on the telly, he was a good yard onside watching it again so As You Were.

Surprised that no-one has mention the Kelvingrove thing on Friday here...
Did anyone go? What are anyone's thoughts?

Ha, jim, I retweeted that earlier. Quality.

World War Z starts filming today in the city centre.
Already a bit of talk about Brad Pitt knocking about town. Apparently he went into The Good Spirits Co. to ask for Buckfast yesterday.
― just call me brian (krakow), Monday, 15 August 2011 08:04 (twelve years ago) link
He was in Paisley last week apparently, looking around the Coats Memorial church.
― ailsa, Monday, 15 August 2011 11:56 (twelve years ago) link
Also, they were filming World War Z in Malta when I was there last month. I think Brad's stalking me, tbh.
― ailsa, Monday, 15 August 2011 11:57 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, that will be exactly what's happening.
― Madchen, Monday, 15 August 2011 12:21 (twelve years ago) link
What other reason could he have for being in Paisley :)
― ailsa, Monday, 15 August 2011 12:58 (twelve years ago) link
Prince fan?
― Madchen, Monday, 15 August 2011 13:02 (twelve years ago) link
Probably just researching aimless shambling undead characters for his film, I reckon.

"The location manager for World War Z said Glasgow had been chosen because of its architecture, wide roads and grid layout."
