yo, you spent about thirty minutes wandering about the room saying "and this is X, who is X, and this is Y, who is X's girlfriend. Please meet Z." Sometimes even quietly to yourself.

Sometimes even quietly to yourself.

that might have been where i went wrong.

What a world.

hey glasgow. do any of you want to try edinburgh on friday? not only is there the gauguin exhibit during the day, but there are loads of fringe festival preview shows by night, including this one. Or Hedwig! Anyone? Anyone?

Ooh, that (first one) looks like it has the potential to be head-shakingly awful. Count me in! (if I haven't made it out of the country)

I shook Princess Anne's (gloved) hand.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 1 August 2005 16:25 (eighteen years ago) link

my dad accidentally waved his arse at princess anne, many moons ago. or was it margaret? i forget.

more recently, i snubbed prince philip. he stood behind my desk and tried to engage me in conversation about sub-editing. i ignored him, because i disagree with his right to exist. he fucked off to talk to my boss instead; i tried to run over his foot with my chair but missed and knocked over my bin instead.

ah, it's all coming back to me, the great royal visit of ... whenever it was. stet wore a suit especially for the occasion, the big royalist lickspittle. i think he even combed his hair into a forelock so he could tug it.

there was an unfunny incident with a singing fish as well. crappy days.

In other news, I will no longer be coming out for Cathy's birthday greekness, neither shall I be going to Edinburgh. Instead I shall be in Spain! On holiday! Wooo!!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 08:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Well done, Madchen. I nearly bumped into her when I was a small child, and I got the autograph of that bodyguard who saved her from an assassin's bullet, or something. It was at some kind of horsey eventing event. Splish splash went the horseys in the pond.

where was anne?
and what the hell was prince phillip doing in the newsroom? a royal visit to the h3rald???
woo hoo spain!

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 08:44 (eighteen years ago) link

and what the hell was prince phillip doing in the newsroom?

a downtable shift.

I nearly trod on the Queen Mum at the Durer show at the Royal Academy many years ago. Turned around after scrutinising a picture close up and thought 'who is that tiny irritating woman with the hat.. and the burly minders... oh...' Underwhelming, since my republican hackles hardly rose at all. Sorry grimly.

― alext (alext), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 09:14 (eighteen years ago) link

i had loads of fun stalking charlie around moray. i very nearly got to peek up his kilt as he climbed onto a lifeboat. but... why would i want to? yuck!

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 09:20 (eighteen years ago) link

hello folks

i am going to be trying glasgow hopefully for just the one night on the 13th august (that is the saturday). Hope to see some of yous there... driving up in the morning or maybe PLANE (i haven't checked the practicality of this).. i think i'm going to be socialising at the woodside in the evening. perhaps sneak to that pub across the road for a quick karaoke (if that still happenes), i don't know if i still remember any words for any songs though.

(happy birthday cathy!)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 09:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I will definitely be Trying Glasgow More at some point in September.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 09:56 (eighteen years ago) link

That pub is shut, Ken, you won't be trying that.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 09:59 (eighteen years ago) link

ah well. (burnt down i bet?)

are there other places that i should try pre-winchester?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:01 (eighteen years ago) link

The landsdowne! As featured in the Herald!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:08 (eighteen years ago) link

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:10 (eighteen years ago) link

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:14 (eighteen years ago) link

arran sounds fun though!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:16 (eighteen years ago) link

It's not that posh. They let me in. And Shearer.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:21 (eighteen years ago) link

shearer! in that case definitely not posh.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't think I can come out for dinner, cathy

: /

I am working on thursday & friday, too

: /

I may get to be a lawyer soon, though

: )

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:40 (eighteen years ago) link

You could be the ILX lawyer as we engage in corporate takeovers.

Ken should go to the Landsdowne to follow in my holy footsteps.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:45 (eighteen years ago) link

having long hair does not make you jesus ned.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:31 (eighteen years ago) link

You need a beard too!

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Jesus, Ned.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:36 (eighteen years ago) link

my lawyer advises me not to make a joke about all the beer in the lansdowne mysteriously turning into water.

not because it would be libellous; just unfunny.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Visions all, if somehow inappropriate.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:40 (eighteen years ago) link

oh no beer turning into water doesn't sound good :(

i hope they serve big portions of bread and fish anyway

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Couldn't someone have arranged for a miracle last Wednesday when I was in there watching the Artmedia Bratislava debacle? Like turning Mo Camara into a footballer or something?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:46 (eighteen years ago) link

mo camera mo' problem

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I am around Thursday night, though I am still fucking sick and pretty miserable just in time for my holiday : ( Nonetheless I'd love to see people Thursday night, providing I'm not feeling extremely bad, I'm around in the day too pretty much and will probably go record shopping.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Tonight's prediction: Celtic 14 Artmedia 10.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Where were you when the puns were flying on this thread - UEFA Champions League 05/06, this is the thread for ?

(xpost to Ken)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Ronan, unless you are at Glasgow Airport at six in the morning on Thursday, it is unlikely that I will see you :(

Ally, I hate you. (though that is the most likely prediction I have heard so far)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 12:12 (eighteen years ago) link

rats' cocks, this thursday-night thing sounds fun but now i don't think i'm going to be able to make it either. jism. what exactly is the plan: food and then beer later?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 12:32 (eighteen years ago) link

By Thursday I will be ready to go out on the razz. Oh yeah.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 14:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Just as I leave the country. I will miss Cathy's birthday, and Ronan. I will be back in time for Ken though, oh yes.

I like how Glasgow has got a whole lot more social though, recently.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 14:06 (eighteen years ago) link

lucy you'll save some razzage for a week on saturday i hope

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 14:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Last night we tried to try the Garage. The bouncers took one look at us and said "you don't look like regulars, sorry". Then proceeded to ID a bunch of large-breasted 15 year olds and let them all in. bastards.

Instead we went to Blanket and danced to Huey Lewis and the News, Phil Oakey & Giorgio Moroder, and 5ive. It was much fun.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 14:33 (eighteen years ago) link

aw no my breasts aren't very big :(

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 14:34 (eighteen years ago) link

The Garage is rubbish anyway. But it was Monday, it was someone's birthday, we were drunk. Blanket on the other hand was excellent. Chesney Hawkes! Whitney Houston! The Killers! Franz Ferdinand! Salt'n'Pepa! Technotronic! Kaiser Chiefs! MC Hammer!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 14:37 (eighteen years ago) link

hehe. well i like MC hammer! \o/ |o_ |p/

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 14:39 (eighteen years ago) link

You went out on a MONDAY?

And here I thought you were old.

Sorry.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 15:24 (eighteen years ago) link

stet wore a suit
Yes, because I heartily support the royals. Without them I don't get to be Lord Stet of McSub and bank at Coutts.

Working on thursday, more's the plums, but should be out after.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 16:04 (eighteen years ago) link
