Hi dere from between Paisley and Glasgow!

(are me and Tom D the paisley posse?)

i meant you and your man, i didn't know you were between x
― jed_, Monday, 16 January 2012 23:58 (twelve years ago) link
Ah, got you. Yes, we've not actually lived in Paisley for over ten years, but use it for shopping and pubbage because Renfrew is bad.

― Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 10:13 (twelve years ago) link
Still very much here. Let's all meet up one night...

I don't give a care as to where, so if long-standing distastes of certain venues persevere then someone call a new one... how about Heavenly? I've not been there, but would like to try it...

― only NWOFHM! is real (krakow), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 10:52 (twelve years ago) link
Ward, that can easily be arranged!
I like Heavenly, because a city centre bar where you can get change out of three quid for a pint of Guinness without being surrounded by muttering jakies is something of a rarity.
Can this wait until early February? I have a lot of January left with v little pay packet to cover it.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 10:58 (twelve years ago) link
excellent, thanks ailsa! am also skint for the next month or so, but will be in touch after that...
and a Heavenly FAP sounds a good idea (a friend of mine has been there for an indie pop pub quiz or two, am sure an ILX Krew wld Klean up!)
― Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:08 (twelve years ago) link
That would be good with me too, I'm really busy with photographing at the moment.
I've heard positive things about Heavenly. I believe that Bubblegum Records are involved to some degree.

I will be in town on 11th Feb at lunchtime - could manage a couple before you go off to the ICT match?
― Sugary pee is not normal (aldo), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:21 (twelve years ago) link
Me and a mate are regular second-placers in the indie quiz.
Ward, Celtic don't have a home game until mid-Feb anyway. I will warn you in advance that we sit so far away from the pitch that you may need breathing apparatus and a set of binoculars.
xpost, yes 11th Feb to be precise. I say yay to pint with aldo.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:24 (twelve years ago) link
I'll be working on Saturday 11th Feb, but could nip out on my break for an hour or so, depending on the time. Would be fun.
― only NWOFHM! is real (krakow), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:26 (twelve years ago) link
Cool, a pint with aldo and then a football match sounds like a grand day out.
― Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:32 (twelve years ago) link
I shall investigate tickets up our bit of the stadium - there'll be plenty scope for moving a few rows or seats away as ICT games won't attract too much of a walk-up crowd unless we sign someone proper good in the transfer window that people want to see.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:36 (twelve years ago) link
(n.b. that is not going to happen)
― ailsa, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:37 (twelve years ago) link
Newbie question - what's an ICT game??
― Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:50 (twelve years ago) link
Supercaleygoballistic etc

TY, sounds exactly the right fixture for me, think I have to work my way up to an Old Firm game (only ground I've been to in Scotland = Cappielow Park)
― Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:57 (twelve years ago) link
Yikes
― Then in walked Barbara Castle with the Lady Eleanor (Tom D.), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:57 (twelve years ago) link
Never been to a football match in my life.

Things to do in 2012, Krakow!
― Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 12:04 (twelve years ago) link
tbh don't mind going to the match myself.
― Sugary pee is not normal (aldo), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 12:13 (twelve years ago) link
What a shame that I'll be working.
― only NWOFHM! is real (krakow), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 12:14 (twelve years ago) link
Celtic v Rangers games - vastly over-rated, usually a terrible game, 90 minutes of shiting myself that the stadium is going to fall down.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 12:38 (twelve years ago) link
Surprised and pleased to be included in jed's roll call considering I rarely post on ilx. I would be very tempted to turn up at a Glasgow FAP - not this month though, for the same reason others have given.
― Eyeball Kicks, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link
Nice bit of propaganda for Weegies. The study was written by my brother's girlfriend, but she's not biased, oh no.

I had done a quick scan of the thread prior to posting sorry i missed Jim or he was hidden!
I'm definitely up for a drink in february.
― jed_, Thursday, 19 January 2012 21:25 (twelve years ago) link
I would say are there any plans yet given it's next weekend, but I know what Glasgow's like.
― Aunt Acid and the Gaviscons (aldo), Saturday, 4 February 2012 16:34 (twelve years ago) link
I just remembered about this last night! I am v. skint, but am up for moderate amounts of boozing.
― ailsa, Saturday, 4 February 2012 16:36 (twelve years ago) link
up for't.
― jed_, Saturday, 4 February 2012 16:46 (twelve years ago) link
Are we going to the match y/n?
I guess the best place for a pint is somewhere handy for krakow to nip out to at lunchtime. Since I don't know where he works and haven't been out in Glasgow for maybe a couple of years then somebody call it. Noon?
― Aunt Acid and the Gaviscons (aldo), Saturday, 4 February 2012 16:51 (twelve years ago) link
krakow works near qn street station iirc.
oh is this a football thing?
― jed_, Saturday, 4 February 2012 16:54 (twelve years ago) link
Doesn't have to be - I'm not bothered either way. I had assumed ailsa and/or onimo would be going to watch the rematch of today but that was more of a guess than anything else.
― Aunt Acid and the Gaviscons (aldo), Saturday, 4 February 2012 16:59 (twelve years ago) link
Not necessarily football for everyone - onimo and I (and maybe aldo?) are going to the football that afternoon, hence early start in pub. Ward F had mentioned about maybe joining us, but I don't know if that's happening.

― ailsa, Saturday, 4 February 2012 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
Krakow, how long do you get for lunch and how near your work would you like us?
― ailsa, Saturday, 4 February 2012 18:25 (twelve years ago) link
... there are very few decent pubs near krakow's work, it's Wetherspoon central, mostly.
― ailsa, Saturday, 4 February 2012 18:26 (twelve years ago) link
Saying that, Wetherspoon = cheap real ales + very real likelihood of seats.
― ailsa, Saturday, 4 February 2012 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
The vale is alright iirc.
― zverotic discourse (jim in glasgow), Saturday, 4 February 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
I like the Vale, but (1) don't see it as fap-friendly and (2) doesn't it get quite busy before Celtic games? It is approx 10000000000 x better than the shithole next door.
― ailsa, Saturday, 4 February 2012 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
How about Heavenly? I can take an hour & that's not far at all; I'm a fast walker.
― brain (krakow), Saturday, 4 February 2012 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
I'm easy though, anything within that kind of distance would suit me. I'm happy at Wetherspoons nowadays and would be interested to try the Vale if it weren't too busy. As long as I know in the morning to give my fellow workmate friend warning ahead of time so we can arrange for him to get his lunch at a decent time, I can take a break pretty much whenever.
― brain (krakow), Saturday, 4 February 2012 20:44 (twelve years ago) link
Vale is fine by me if fine with others - v handy for your work and v handy for onward travel to football. Guess being in early doors will secure seats.
― ailsa, Saturday, 4 February 2012 20:57 (twelve years ago) link
Cool. It would indeed be super handy. Not somewhere I would ever think to go myself.
― brain (krakow), Saturday, 4 February 2012 21:06 (twelve years ago) link
Given the random and unexpected success of fappage in the Alpen Lodge, I'm all for random odd pubs.
― ailsa, Saturday, 4 February 2012 21:10 (twelve years ago) link
Oh god, that time in the Alpen Lodge when it played all the tracks we would have on the jukebox for free.
― Aunt Acid and the Gaviscons (aldo), Saturday, 4 February 2012 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
And then played JAMC even though it wasn't on the jukebox.
