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.

(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.)

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.

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!)

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 12 September 2005 23:34 (eighteen years ago) link

But which of the two of us is it?

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 15 September 2005 10:59 (eighteen years ago) link

la lanterna, hope st.

nice food, charismatic service

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 15 September 2005 12:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Charismatic?

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 15 September 2005 12:19 (eighteen years ago) link

One of the waitresses looks like JCM.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 15 September 2005 12:30 (eighteen years ago) link

"you gone, she gone, everybody gone! gone gone gone gone."

"pepper pepper pepper pepper?"

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 15 September 2005 12:36 (eighteen years ago) link

I hate that kind of act.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 15 September 2005 12:37 (eighteen years ago) link

eh?
i was off sick today and had a full fledged lost marathon
THANK YOU ALDO!
*sneeze*

― dahlin (dahlin), Thursday, 15 September 2005 19:15 (eighteen years ago) link

It's a series that really should be watched 5+ episodes at a time.

I AM NOT SURE I WILL SUSTAIN THIS THROUGH SERIES 2.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 15 September 2005 21:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Way to break a lunch date, sicko.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 15 September 2005 21:57 (eighteen years ago) link

We are all Lost out round Renfrew way. Every plan I try to make is countered with "but we could stay in and watch Lost instead..."

(we are just back from the casino where we failed to win a car)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 15 September 2005 23:19 (eighteen years ago) link

But which of the two of us is it?

given that it's off the manchester evening news's website, i'm going for jim.

but, you know, i'm ready to be disabused of that notion ...

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 16 September 2005 08:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I went to Glasgow. I've almost recovered.

― Tim (Tim), Friday, 16 September 2005 08:57 (eighteen years ago) link

I went to bilbao. I've almost dried off.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 16 September 2005 09:15 (eighteen years ago) link

RJG you should have said hello. i had a 5 hour wait there and was going nuts with boredom. the only good thing about stansted is ponti's cafe.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Friday, 16 September 2005 10:26 (eighteen years ago) link

cathy had just bought her book, when I saw you, and she had to go and catch her train and I had to go through to my gate and I imagined I may well see you there until I remembered that the fire engines had been playing the night before

should have said hello, really, though

hope you had fun in ibiza!

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 16 September 2005 11:33 (eighteen years ago) link

ibiza was ok. i probably wouldn't try it more if i wasn't going for work. having had almost no sleep, i would probably only have babbled incoherently had you said hello anyway.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Friday, 16 September 2005 11:43 (eighteen years ago) link

That is the best bookshop ever.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 16 September 2005 13:30 (eighteen years ago) link

finished lost today. and ARGH! bring me season two NOW!
i then napped and dreampt lost dreams. and then i woke up and thought a giant spider was swinging down at me.
i think i need a hot toddy.

― dahlin (dahlin), Friday, 16 September 2005 18:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey Dahlin. Are Metro still going through those applications?

― Stew (stew s), Friday, 16 September 2005 19:02 (eighteen years ago) link

yup. she was sifting through them today. a million overqualified journalism grads, i was told. she said your cv was impressive. dunno if that's a good or a bad thing! think she's handing the interview decision over to wanker chris.

― dahlin (dahlin), Friday, 16 September 2005 20:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Better to be overqualified that underqualified I suppose. That said, I tend to find I'm overqualified for some jobs and slightly underqualified for others. What's a boy to do? Still, fingers crossed.
My new helpline job is ok though. We're allowed to read between calls, so I ploughed through most of Hemingway's Fiesta today. Not one of his best, but entertaining in a ridiculously macho way. "She had curves like a prize yacht" etc...

― Stew (stew s), Friday, 16 September 2005 20:21 (eighteen years ago) link

what do Glasgow, Galway and Norway have in common?

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 22:59 (eighteen years ago) link

there's an a&w in each?

ours is on renfield street

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 23:10 (eighteen years ago) link

no.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 23:13 (eighteen years ago) link

it's not just something they have in common but something they share with no other places on the planet.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 23:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Enlighten us, Colin.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 23:28 (eighteen years ago) link

one of them is a country, too

I will be interested to hear the answer

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 23:33 (eighteen years ago) link

INTERESTING.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 23:37 (eighteen years ago) link

i stole that tidbit from Robbie Lumsden so it must be true.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 20 September 2005 23:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Those from Tasmania are Taswegians.
