I had no idea about the Burton Connection (it's like French Connection, but upstairs from Dorothy Perkins). Germany has this nice icecream thing called Spaghettieis, so I quite like it there.

I knew two of the Glasgow nitwits!! The Edinburgh team captain was unbearable.

she took it a bit forfar.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:03 (nineteen years ago) link

She was pretty, but not terribly bright. I once knew all of a Glasgow team (just after I graduated - I think it was the year they brought back UC) - they were totally dreadful and an affront to such a fine academic institution.

I think Balliol could win it.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Back in my day, the team was stuffed full of GU bigwigs.

I think the Edinburgh captain might have appeared brighter if Paxman hadn't been ribbing her all the time. I didn't fancy her much though. The mysterious lady above her was more my type.

PJ OTM.

both of the captains had expressions, that they kept doing, that I had a hard time being bothered to try to believe.

balliol(?)'s was very "oh, well, I don't mind" and the edinburgh one (emily drayson, I remember, for some reason) was a bit "hehehehe!".

I bet it was nerves, though, and doubt any of my expressions would hold up, in a similar situation.

The Glasgow team I knew were the clique from the student paper. They probably thought they were bigwigs, but, er, they weren't.

I was going to type "I don't know anyone, who has been on university challenge" but I did meet one of cathy's pals, who was on, and there was a lady, from architecture (or, perhaps, building science!!), who was on, last year, maybe, and who was in some classes, with me.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:52 (nineteen years ago) link

DAPPERS!

Or, perhaps more correctly in this context, Liz:x (or however its supposed to be: I think my colon is out of order)

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:48 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't hate the Scots, I even like some of them a little & a few of them a lot. They are best when they are not hating the English.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:49 (nineteen years ago) link

I only hate the English when they are being insufferably smug about being better than us at football/rugby/whatever. And then, it's not so much "hate" as "am jealous of".

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:53 (nineteen years ago) link

do the english hate the french?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:01 (nineteen years ago) link

I love the french, with their goose livers and their wild boar.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:06 (nineteen years ago) link

I love a woman speaking English in a French accent.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:15 (nineteen years ago) link

I love everything.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:19 (nineteen years ago) link

No you don't. You hate cheese.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't hate the english.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:50 (nineteen years ago) link

do glaswegians hate apple?

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't hate cheese. I don't hate apples.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 00:48 (nineteen years ago) link

OK, but you don't love it either. Therefore YOU ARE A LIAR.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 00:53 (nineteen years ago) link

We're all liars, darling.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 01:08 (nineteen years ago) link

and you all rally around your common hatred of the americans...

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 15:41 (nineteen years ago) link

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 16:01 (nineteen years ago) link

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 16:03 (nineteen years ago) link

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 19:50 (nineteen years ago) link

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 19:58 (nineteen years ago) link

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 20:22 (nineteen years ago) link

SEEYOURAMORRADUDE

"Yo dude see attached

Will Glasgow be joining us indeed?

Am I allowed to plug the wee club thingy that I am starting up in Edinburgh this weekend?

It's a treaty at Harthill.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 21:59 (nineteen years ago) link

king of commady.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 01:48 (nineteen years ago) link

My house, Monday, 2pm, Pecan & Honey/French Vanilla Ice Cream, nearly thirty.

― Madchen (Madchen), Saturday, 26 March 2005 13:38 (nineteen years ago) link

You're doing pecan and honey because you found out yesterday I don't eat nuts, aren't you...

(I bought shoes today! In a shoe shop! On a Saturday! What have you done to me?)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 26 March 2005 13:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Wow. Dot to Dot tonight, in Govan, if anyone wants some rock action. You might even get to see the footie first.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 26 March 2005 13:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I would like to be going to this. Instead I am going to see Ally's friends The Chalets, in Dublin, for a bit.

― Lara (Lara), Saturday, 26 March 2005 15:05 (nineteen years ago) link

It's a transirishsea night of wonder, to be sure. I hope Lara will be trying Glasgow again, soon.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 26 March 2005 15:16 (nineteen years ago) link

I forgot an important question when saying I might do a cross-Glasgow dash for Dot to Dot. What will it cost me to get it? My presence hinges on this.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 26 March 2005 15:19 (nineteen years ago) link

if you pay me, a small fee, I will help you understand it.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 26 March 2005 15:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Gratuit.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 26 March 2005 15:30 (nineteen years ago) link

nuts.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 26 March 2005 15:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Cozen's love don't cost a thing?

― Lara (Lara), Saturday, 26 March 2005 15:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Haha, "get it". I mean "get in". I may, maybe, make it. Depends on other, family-type commitments (which I shall be on the periphery of as long as there is a TV I can be watching)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 26 March 2005 15:51 (nineteen years ago) link

bot to bot, more like.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 26 March 2005 16:31 (nineteen years ago) link

I think Keith told me his friends thought I had a nice bot, last night. Unfortunately I think they were all men. "Unfortunately". Haha.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 26 March 2005 17:12 (nineteen years ago) link

This reminds me of Cook-Ass-Dance-Inferno.
