It should be noted that Tim H arrives in Glasgow on 22nd April.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Ah that's great! Tim H too!

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:01 (nineteen years ago) link

all this weekend needs now is ferrero rocher!

toblerone carte d'or

Don't forget that all Popkins activities must be planned around a possible trip to Carlisle! Who are playing at Burton this week, I believe, so they'll be bouyed up by a comfortable victory prior to the Exetr game.

Oh look, I missed an 'e' out of Exeter! Now they look like a Primal Scream B side.

They should make XTR t-shirts. They'd make a fortune.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 15 April 2005 14:08 (nineteen years ago) link

so, what's the 411?

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 15 April 2005 15:53 (nineteen years ago) link

lauren and teamy are at stereo, waiting for a friend.

ally and me and cathy and patrick are in THE GOAT but there's nowhere to sit.

bot to bot are on stage at 9:30. does anyone, except them, care?

just kidding.

ally is crying, now.

― RJG at THE GOAT, Friday, 15 April 2005 17:59 (nineteen years ago) link

awww...damn the tube strike :(

― sarahluv, Friday, 15 April 2005 22:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Ally is the Bez of Dot to Dot. Cathy's new hair is ace. No-one came to Pin-up Nights but you all lose because it means you didn't get to dance to Mr Blue Sky. We gave up on it eventually, went downstairs to the real Fury Murrys and danced to Guns'n'Roses and Tiffany and Madonna and stuff instead.

Cozen, if you see this, I have a great big stinking hangover, but I may still be going for a hair-of-the-dog type recovery pint. I'll phone you if I don't die before then.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 16 April 2005 08:23 (nineteen years ago) link

thanks for the mobile broadcast, ailsa!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 16 April 2005 08:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Thanks, ailsa. I think I have decided to like my hair, or at least to stop whining about it. Although when I woke up this morning it looked scarily like ihttp://www.gokuboso.com/blog/archives/chucky.jpg

― Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 16 April 2005 08:55 (nineteen years ago) link

my phone died, ailsa.

I'm sorry I couldn't receive your call, if you called.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 16 April 2005 11:03 (nineteen years ago) link

i want to see Cathy's hair!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 16 April 2005 11:05 (nineteen years ago) link

I washed it and now I look like this again.

The upside is that Ally Cook is a very lovely man, today.

― Passive Little Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 16 April 2005 19:07 (nineteen years ago) link

I see how long this thread is and feel like trying Glasgow again, even.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Saturday, 16 April 2005 22:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I didn't mean he looked like Bez, rather that his role is to dance inconsquentially shaking a tambourine whilst others do the difficult stuff. (this may only be for one song, however, he does do stuff the rest of the time).

Cozen, I texted you after the match to apologise for not phoning you before it. You'll find out if your phone resurrects itself. I didn't know it had died, my condolences.

I might be trying this, in Glasgow.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Sunday, 17 April 2005 11:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm trying the extreme music from Finland next Friday myself.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Sunday, 17 April 2005 12:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I would like to go to that. But then I would also like to go to the other thing, RJG has told me.

I do sing a chorus too, on that song. It's not completely inconsequential. I can't do difficult things.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 17 April 2005 16:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes you can, you can spell inconsequential, which is more than I can manage, apparently.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 17 April 2005 19:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I met Cozen at Dolly Mixture. He was rather freaked out!
That was a cool night. Three cheers for Sharon and her team and Dot To Dot!

― Stew (stew s), Sunday, 17 April 2005 21:30 (nineteen years ago) link

I didn't meet Lauren at Dolly Mixture, but I stood next to her for a bit without knowing who she was, and RJG said "Have you met Lauren" but she left. Oh well.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 17 April 2005 21:37 (nineteen years ago) link

it was nice to meet you, stew.

I was a little freaked out, but good freaked.

it was nice to meet you, too, lauren.

hi nick!

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 18 April 2005 09:28 (nineteen years ago) link

thank you for the book. it made the ride home that much more pleasant.

at this point, i fear that i'll never meet jed.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 18 April 2005 09:58 (nineteen years ago) link

It is remarkable and good that Dot to Dot get so much better as time goes by without ever actually hearing them. I feel sorry for thsoe of you who have heard them and cannot share in my joy and amazement at their improvement.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 10:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I have got an mp3, of Dot to Dot!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 12:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Go on, tell them all you described it as

"superior jingle-jangle with a manic edge."

Some cookie96 fans would probably prefer their edges more Manc than Manics.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 18 April 2005 13:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, I thought it was going to be post-punk angular funk, like The Pop Group or something. But it now transpires that it is in fact superior jingle-jangle with a manic edge. Identifiably Glaswegian, I thought, kind of like The Sound of Young Scotland with senile dementia. I'm not surprised Murdoch likes it, the self-perpertuating ponce. Is Cookie96(tears) singing? I thought the chorus was very good. Well done, Dot to Dot. I think you should get a SUPPORT SLOT.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:08 (nineteen years ago) link

On Friday, we supported ourselves. Quite successfully. We will almost certainly come to London this summer. Begin the preparations.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 18 April 2005 16:16 (nineteen years ago) link

sorry i missed you lauren. my excuse is boring as well as rubbish so i'll spare you it.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 18 April 2005 16:21 (nineteen years ago) link

Come to Maidenhead! Captive audience at Smokey Joe's!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 11:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Am I right that Maaaaster Haaaapkins is coming to Glasgow on Friday?

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 17:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Haaapkins begins the Devonian crusade in two moons time I believe.

I would like an MP3 of dot to dot, I think it would be a hoot

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:04 (nineteen years ago) link

He gets in Friday lunchtime I think, and I can't leave work until four so if anyone without a job wants to entertain him for a bit please feel free.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Cool. I won't be drinking cider, but I will visit; although I do have a job so it'll be later. Maybe a cider-drinking crusty could entertain him by juggling, in the meantime. Can we assume 'plans' will be posted here?

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I would like to take Tim to the Steps on Glassford Street. Probably just for one, because I think it's a Tennents pub, but I think he'll appreciate the decor.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:29 (nineteen years ago) link

One Step closer to Belhaven.

I know. I know.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 20:32 (nineteen years ago) link

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 07:39 (nineteen years ago) link

wow. it's freezing here so any heat would be an improvement.

I get over on Friday morning at about 9, such are the times of cheap flights.

Is Tim going to come to the Arches?

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 08:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't know. There is football in Carlisle the next day, so bedtimes may have to be taken into account if he's feeling old and codgerish. Shall I text him?

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 09:11 (nineteen years ago) link

what are you doing during the day on friday, ro?

I get home thursday night.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 10:20 (nineteen years ago) link

my back hurts.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 10:24 (nineteen years ago) link

football update:

Exeter can still reach the playoffs IF:

1. they beat Carlisle
2. any two of Morecombe, Aldershot and Stevenage don't win and/or also that Woking don't win by more than 4 goals than we do...

Exeter have the hardest game of the five teams fighting for the last two play-off slots...

i don't think i'm speaking out of turn to say that Mr H will definitely be attending said match...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 10:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't support Exeter, but I will keep my mouth shut :)

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 11:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Will Rozen/Conan be in the pub on Friday afternoon? That would be an incentive to leave work early, perhaps.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 11:54 (nineteen years ago) link

Ronan. where are you staying?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 12:02 (nineteen years ago) link

turns out I have an interview at 9.30 on friday, in aberdeen.

I should be in glasgow before, hopefully, 3pm.

afternoon pub is plausible. bagsy being conan.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Mayer tickets are only £10 in advance (if paid with cash) from the Arches. I might go and get some after work. Who wants me to get one for them?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 13:33 (nineteen years ago) link
