But they CHANGED THE NAME to SOMETHING CRAP!

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:36 (nineteen years ago) link

when is the earliest person getting to the drum & the monkey?

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I just got a job at marks & sparks.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:45 (nineteen years ago) link

HAHA no way.

Oscar Slater's may be crap but at least it is HISTORICAL.

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:59 (nineteen years ago) link

Well done, Cozen. I got one too, but I chickened out because I would have had to listen to Christmas carols for six weeks. They had a lot of targets and stuff up on the walls backstage. Sales targets, not dartboards. Did you have to go out and accost a member of the public as part of your interview? I didn't like that bit, I felt like a twat.

this "oscar slater's" news is disturbing.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 22 April 2005 09:17 (nineteen years ago) link

this "oscar slater's" news is old news. where have you been?

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 22 April 2005 09:50 (nineteen years ago) link

I felt like a twat too, PJ.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 22 April 2005 09:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I've been lots of places.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 22 April 2005 09:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I will recognise ailsa easily, she appears to be my wife.

HABEMUS FAPAM

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 22 April 2005 11:40 (nineteen years ago) link

This is an unexpected turn.

I may bring a person, or two, from work, for a bit. Please try not to scare them.

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 22 April 2005 11:44 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm already at the drum and monkey. no, i'm not. but nearly. i'm a few doors down the street at easyeverything or easyinternet or whatever the hell it's called, bored out of my skull, trying to be OCCUPIED. so the earlier the better for me. besides the fact that i, too, have just landed not only a new ace JOB but also a new ace FLAT with such luxuries as an american size stainless steel fridge and dishwasher! crazy! so let's get drinkin already!
are these the screaming 'ally is love machine' workmates you planted in the front row at your latest gig?

― dahlin (dahlin), Friday, 22 April 2005 12:49 (nineteen years ago) link

WHEN. IS. THE. PARTY. ?.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 22 April 2005 13:06 (nineteen years ago) link

I've been lots of places.

why did you go to Salt Lake City?

― $V£N! (blueski), Friday, 22 April 2005 13:08 (nineteen years ago) link

did i mention the new place is located smack dab between hubbards and the woodside? dangerous! party will be soooooooooon. you'll be the first invited ms juicy!

― dahlin (dahlin), Friday, 22 April 2005 13:17 (nineteen years ago) link

isn't smack dab between hubbards and the woodside, er, in the river?

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Friday, 22 April 2005 16:25 (nineteen years ago) link

FAP on a raft.

Who's the guy in the photo with the ace quiff?

― New to town, Saturday, 23 April 2005 06:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Thank you for not posting that picture of the side of my nose. What a good night. It was lovely to see Tim for the first time in ages, and to meet Onimo, and Scotsvo. The mister brought some workmates who (1) didn't think going for a pint with internet mentalists was weird and (2) were really really nice people. Ally C's Dad turned up. My head is sore, and I still can't think of a proper reason for the SPL split. But it was a good night out (sorry I didn't stay out, but we had to eat and get a train).

I missed the best opportunity to make Onimo look really stupid. When he wandered over, looked a bit shifty and asked "are you ILX people?" I really should have thought of something more liable to make him feel stupid, rather than being so welcoming. Oh well.

Also, dahlin, I know I mentioned it about a million times and told the whole pub, but, really, you do have the best new job in the world.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 23 April 2005 06:58 (nineteen years ago) link

By the way, that first photo is the perfect illustration of total disinterest in proceedings. Keith and Cozen are looking for a way out, Ally C is more interested in stirring his poofy girlie drink, and, er, I can't think of anything about RJG. Maybe it was all his fault that everyone else was so bored.

Did anyone find Ronan?

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 23 April 2005 08:33 (nineteen years ago) link

You seem like a nice bunch.

I went to a pub last night. It was terrible.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Saturday, 23 April 2005 09:01 (nineteen years ago) link

not in the river, but on the river..well, er, the banks of it.
as for my new job.... the expectations from my public seem to be high, i'll do my best to keep up the high standard of psychoticness... which means some ilx letters could very well make it in!
i hear mr cook is just going to his bed now! lordy! what did i miss? i should have got drunker.

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 23 April 2005 09:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Is more ruin planned for the rest of the weekend? I am broken, I think, but may endeavour to try more, if pushed. I know people are en-route to Carlisle, but later?

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 23 April 2005 10:37 (nineteen years ago) link

hmm, i really do pick my moments to take my first look in months at ILE. such as, er, the day after an FAP. bugger.

did any of you see arthur scargill last night, then? this little bloke with bad hair and a funny nose came up to me on argyle street and asked for directions to the radisson. mrs fiendish and my mates swear blind it was scargill. fucked if i recognised him, though. whoops.

still, no wonder thatcher triumped: we watched "arthur" hove off under the heilenman's umbrealla, stand outside the hotel but fail to notice it, then wander the wrong fucking way up hope street.

i shall be at the isis gig in G2 on sunday night if anyone else is gonna be there. by my sideburns shall ye know me.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 23 April 2005 12:27 (nineteen years ago) link

It was nice to meet Glasgow last night. Lots of nice and funny people, none of whom looked like their photographs (or South Parkalikes). Shame I had to leave so early to cath that band (who ended up delayed by over an hour).

Thanks for not humiliating me ailsa. Good strategy from scotstvo: "I just headed for the crowd of obvious computer people"

I'm going to nurse this hangover by listening to the footy and composing a letter to dahlin that ends with "What are the chances of that?"

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Saturday, 23 April 2005 12:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm still upset that Alba didn't have a tie round his head. Or, come to think of it, any other part of him.

I think I'll write stacey a letter about people with ties round their head, since there are two excellent photographs on this very thread for that crucial "(pictured)" kudos.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 23 April 2005 13:15 (nineteen years ago) link

are we really that obvious? egads

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 23 April 2005 17:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Evidently we are, because it worked.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 23 April 2005 18:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Stevie Jackson, answering the question "Have you seen any good bands recently?" on the B&S Q&A page:

"... Dot to Dot are pretty good, they've got early Orange Juice guitars, ..."

― Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 23 April 2005 19:51 (nineteen years ago) link

try ally c more.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 23 April 2005 20:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I did.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 24 April 2005 08:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I pal.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 24 April 2005 08:49 (nineteen years ago) link

I am a pound.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 24 April 2005 08:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Hooray, Restless Natives is out on DVD. Technically, this should be on an Edinburgh thread, but there you go.

― KeefW (kmw), Sunday, 24 April 2005 15:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I was there, at the bottom of The Mound, when they filmed that. I had a kilt on, so they asked me to stand and wave and cheer, but you can't see me.

Ronan, I am sorry I never got to meet you. I phoned Ally C for meeting-up-type things today, so you can blame him for lack of co-ordination of stuff.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 24 April 2005 17:11 (nineteen years ago) link

close your eyes & wet your lips.

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 24 April 2005 20:37 (nineteen years ago) link

I tried Glasgow and it was good.

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 25 April 2005 12:07 (nineteen years ago) link

great to see you, again, tim!

great to meet you, ronan!

I wish I could have made it out, on saturday/sunday.

it was nice to meet gerry and john, too.

: )

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 25 April 2005 12:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Glasgow has not been tried this hard for a while.

The verdict = convicted of FUN.

It has only just struck me that RJG and Ronan had never met before. That seems strange.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 25 April 2005 12:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Nice to see you, Tim! Nice to meet you, Ronan, Scotsvo and Onimo!

I am never going to make it to Optimo, am I?

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 25 April 2005 12:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Hey!

You told me on Friday that there 'could never be a club like Optimo in Edinburgh'... Now, not withstanding the fact that Mr.Twitch ran a night for a DECADE here before Optimo and that Mr.Barnstorm now DJs with MY FRIENDS at Radio Babylon, you now say you haven't been to Optimo!!!

― KeefW (kmw), Monday, 25 April 2005 13:02 (nineteen years ago) link

Ps... Nice to meet/see you all again

― KeefW (kmw), Monday, 25 April 2005 13:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh yeah, I forgot you, Keith :) Did I tell you that before or after the five pints of pale ale?

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 25 April 2005 13:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Why did you not go to Optimo, silly girl?

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 25 April 2005 13:14 (nineteen years ago) link

I think of was after five pints of pale THE ALE. Good fun!

― KeefW (kmw), Monday, 25 April 2005 13:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Did you ever go to 1992, Keith? It was Belgian Nu Beat.

I have just seen the Optimo CD in Fopptimo, but it looked like just one CD instead of two CDs. Was that a limited edition thing, or whattimo?
