i want a tuts' pint!

hope spanish flat-hunting is going well for cathy.

dahlin, i need your address again - i have something to send you!

also, is ally wearing multiple trousers or does 'fly' get pluralised in scotland? i hope it's the former.

Kate B (kate b), Friday, 9 September 2005 00:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I am wearing trousers made of a spider's web.

Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 9 September 2005 07:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Woo! 2 hangovers in a row and now it's the weekend!

Nice to see you all again. Good night apart from from my (completely non alcohol related) attempts to crush dahlin.

Duds are classic! This candy is of no nutritional value whatsoever and has 3% less fat than an old chip pan.

Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 9 September 2005 07:50 (eighteen years ago) link

cool! it was almost worth being blinded several times for those.

why do i always have to flip the bird at cameras?

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Jeez, we're a handsome bunch of internetty types, aren't we?

scotstvo (scotstvo), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:23 (eighteen years ago) link

I am still freaked out by that last photo.

Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:26 (eighteen years ago) link

And Grimly, you look like a tramp.

Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:27 (eighteen years ago) link

In that first photo, I mean. You look dead hard in the other one.

Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:37 (eighteen years ago) link

scotstvo's smoking a torch

Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:41 (eighteen years ago) link

weirdos

RJG (RJG), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:42 (eighteen years ago) link

in the first photo, i am wondering what's happened to my retinas.

i can't believe none of us took a photo of you, mädchen. that was an oversight. quick: zoom back to tut's and take one of yourself, to complete the set.

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 9 September 2005 08:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I will be in Tut's tonight so I will do that if I remember (which I won't).

Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 9 September 2005 14:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Comparing notes: Paranoia inducing new-found fun!

Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 9 September 2005 16:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I am still freaked out by that last photo.

I did point out to Ally C and Stet that they were the poster boys for the "we're just out of work and going for a pint" brigade. That's maybe not what's freaking you out.

Can we all NOT give money to Grimly since he's totally cheating on the moustache front?

Also, you have a photo of teh mister. bwahahaahahah. I am disturbed by that photo of me and aldo where I look menaced and scared. I don't even REMEMBER that.

I liked the automatic sanny bin. Flashing blue lights!! (note to boys: YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND, IT'S A GIRL THING)

ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 9 September 2005 17:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Also, you never took a photo of the RAWK \m/ dude. He was great. Onimo, I've forgotten whatever joke it was that you told that made everyone pish themselves. The Nakamura song, the Du Wei shirts joke and the Linford Christie nonsense have been entertaining me all day.

For posterity:

"what do you call a calf wearing a No 7 football shirt and touting an AK-47?"

"A right-wing military coo".

*cue last orders cymbal thingie*

ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, I just remembered Christine the random and confused interloper talking to Scotstvo...

"You seem nice but when smile you scare me. You look like a used car salesman."

Is Glasgow trying the Winchester more tomorrow? I am poor (yeah, yeah, round of horror, blah blah) but it would be good.

Also, eating out and curling. And Bristolian cider-fest. Let's do it.

ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:28 (eighteen years ago) link

I remembered Onimo's joke. It was about Norman Tebbit and it wasn't really that funny, except in the context of all that had gone before it.

ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 10 September 2005 08:53 (eighteen years ago) link

¡buenas fotos glasgow!

I have found a flat and I am about to pay a deposit. It is a lot skankier than I would have wished, but I am running out of options. Actually, it is a bit of a hovel. Oh well. It is only €120 a month.

Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 10 September 2005 12:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Send me your address, Cathy!

Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 10 September 2005 12:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks Glasgow for a great night out again.

I have absolutely no idea what I am doing in that photo with ailsa, it looks possibly like Lenny Hanery's impression of David Bellamy (which I don't recall doing).

Simon, are you talking about the Jim Moir photos?

Although I am implicated in the Peter Sarstedt story the tape wasn't in my car now, was it...

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Saturday, 10 September 2005 12:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I stood one foot in front of stacey today and she didn't seem to notice

cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 10 September 2005 15:20 (eighteen years ago) link

It's not my car. It's Neil's car. (OK, it was my tape though).

I have decided to stop referring to Neil as the mister now, as he's getting a bit pissed off with people calling him Mr Ailsa in real life. Let's see if he gets more pissed off when he realises I talk about him and mention his REAL name.

ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 10 September 2005 16:28 (eighteen years ago) link

did you? damn. scary. you shoulda thrown your whole body in as well, then maybe i would have. i'm no good with feet
lucy and nick.. thank your lucky stars you didn't come out with us post stars... oh. my. god.
tales at winchester for all who care to hear.

dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 10 September 2005 17:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I made sure I looked creepy as all hell

you looked oblivious

cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 10 September 2005 17:06 (eighteen years ago) link

hmmmm.. ooook
btw aldo/alan: thanks so much! i owe you a nice plate of cookies or something! i should have given YOU the milk duds.

dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 10 September 2005 17:23 (eighteen years ago) link

I had a good time after Stars!

Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 10 September 2005 18:27 (eighteen years ago) link

i should have given YOU the milk duds
sobs quietly through gummed-up teeth.

stet (stet), Saturday, 10 September 2005 18:28 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm glad

dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 11 September 2005 00:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I forgot to come out last night. I was sitting in the pub in Paisley thinking that I should have been doing something else. Then I remembered, but I couldn't be arsed. Sorry Glasgow, don't take in personally.

ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 11 September 2005 08:36 (eighteen years ago) link

"it"

ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 11 September 2005 08:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Simon, are you talking about the Jim Moir photos?

you knows it.

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 11 September 2005 11:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks!

Tried Glasgow,

Mooro (Mooro), Sunday, 11 September 2005 20:12 (eighteen years ago) link

am glad to see you made it home alive. Those two comedy drunk funsters didn't grab the wheel or cover the car in sick, then?

stet (stet), Sunday, 11 September 2005 20:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Mooro, I didn't know you were trying Glasgow - no-one tells me anything these days :(

ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:25 (eighteen years ago) link

No wheel grabbing, no honking, thank goodness. No sleep (or not much) either, so the second half of the 880 miles was a little trying!

The East coast road is so slow, I must remember not to go home from Edinburgh again.

Try Edinburgh less - although thanks very much to Keith for his hospitality!

Mooro (Mooro), Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Good to see you last night El Mooro - also really good to see "Slim Boy" Tim H. Hopefully when we get some money together we will be trying London more and catch up with you lot!

Chrys Lynyrd (chrys), Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Now I *am* pissed off - Mooro, Tim H and Mistopher Chris in the same place. It's like 1999 all over again.

ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:55 (eighteen years ago) link

(sorry, I appear to have become the sort of person I was slagging off in the pub the other night "oh woe is me, my life is so rubbish and everyone hates me". Just ignore me.)

ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Nice photos, heh!
Been trying Aberdeen this weekend so haven't had a chance to say how much I enjoyed the FAP.
I was a bit tired at work the next day, but hey, I ain't working there any more cos I got dismissed in a pretty outrageous manner.
Cos the place was a shambles (don't ever get a mortgage from the Clydesdale) I was stuck in a corner. Some fellow office minion said it was a shame I was there. I replied that it was alright cos I could get away with doing nothing. A bit of banter which was overheard by the humourless boss. They didn't say anything during the day. I only discovered that they had taken this seriously when the agency phoned me up after work. They also said I had done enough work, which is baws. Only reason I didn't have enough work was cos the incompetent manager kept passing me on to the other temps. What a shambles, but the agency aren't holding it against me. Oh well, it means I can sit up an watch Smoke tomorrow night.

Stew (stew s), Sunday, 11 September 2005 22:22 (eighteen years ago) link

were you working at the clydesdale bank?

40 st. vincent place?

cozen (Cozen), Monday, 12 September 2005 05:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Nah, their office out at Clydebank. Quite glad I'm no longer there, it was pretty dull. Shows how few rights temps have. No way a permanent member of staff could be dismissed like that.
No matter - I'm going to be doing some helpline thing for adult illiteracy instead. And then I'll get the Metro job (positive thinking!)

Stew (stew s), Monday, 12 September 2005 09:09 (eighteen years ago) link

: )

cozen (Cozen), Monday, 12 September 2005 09:12 (eighteen years ago) link

optimo was good.

jed_ (jed), Monday, 12 September 2005 14:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw stirmonster in booksetc., at stansted, today

he didn't see me!!!

RJG (RJG), Monday, 12 September 2005 21:55 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought he was talking about Keith, at first.

Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 12 September 2005 23:21 (eighteen years ago) link

I didn't realise he was talking about Keith, you see.

Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 12 September 2005 23:21 (eighteen years ago) link

haha, he was going to ibiza to play with Juliet Lewis and the licks! (not his choice i'd guess!)
