That was good. Thanks again, Glasgow, we're getting quite good at this now. Mmmm vodka.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 8 October 2005 09:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Mmmm, nail varnish remover.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 8 October 2005 10:19 (eighteen years ago) link

so what did i miss? how was the beetroot? i was in the lismore, which was full of men with moustaches. i felt bereft.

You missed vodka which tasted like mango-flavoured nail varnish remover. Nice food. Beer. A phone call from Barry Lasagne. A bill in excess of £200. And a laugh.

And we missed you. *cue violins*

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 8 October 2005 11:12 (eighteen years ago) link

aww! *touched*

"barry lasagne"?!

Markelby. (see Internet Hardman requires new moniker for details)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 8 October 2005 11:41 (eighteen years ago) link

ha! superb.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 8 October 2005 11:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Chris Tarrant has been removed from the masonic :(

Glad you had fun (if drinking nail varnish remover constitutes fun, that is).

I got very very drunk until 5am. Now I have to go get drunk again and watch Scotland.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Saturday, 8 October 2005 11:50 (eighteen years ago) link

one would have to be drunk to do that, yes

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 8 October 2005 17:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Pity poor Scotstvo who had to stand at Hampden in the pishy horrible hailstones sober and watch it. At least it was bearable in the pub (by virtue of beer, free pies, no hailstones and the bar staff turning the TV over just in time to see Beckham getting sent off).

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 8 October 2005 17:09 (eighteen years ago) link

oh, football

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 8 October 2005 17:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Top night everyone. On the way home I got abuse from some pissed lassie who said I should have gone to specsavers. But I DID go to specsavers, I drunkenly pointed out, which left her rather confused.

Anyway, I didn't get the Metro job. :( Oy vey. Better things await me...one day.

― Stew (stew s), Saturday, 8 October 2005 17:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I almost got in trouble, for bringing a friend along
it was okay, in the end, though, I think

a good night but wish I hadn't had anything to drink

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 8 October 2005 17:53 (eighteen years ago) link

You didn't get in trouble, though, and all was well, once we'd completed our takeover of all the tables and menus in the place. Has he remembered how he knows me yet?

I wish I had had more similar things to drink rather than a variety of vodka and red wine and nasty Sam Smith stout.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 8 October 2005 18:23 (eighteen years ago) link

i got specsavers abuse in stirling, funnily enough
sorry about the job! maybe it was a blessing in disguise.
i've just spent the past hour doing long-term financial planning. how scary is that? it's official: i'm an adult now

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 8 October 2005 18:50 (eighteen years ago) link

I too am the recipient of specsavers abuse, from a drunk guy carrying a bottle of buckie along princes st.

I'm going to see Deerhoof tonight at Mono. One D.Geraghty may well be coming along also.

― hmmm (hmmm), Monday, 10 October 2005 14:23 (eighteen years ago) link

deerhoof are good live

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 10 October 2005 14:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I saw them play almost 2 years ago in Edinburgh. They were tight and funny. The new album has moments of absolute genius so I'm really excited about it.

― hmmm (hmmm), Monday, 10 October 2005 14:40 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll be at Deerhoof too. Hurrah! They were tip top at ATP in Feb.

― Stew (stew s), Monday, 10 October 2005 15:15 (eighteen years ago) link

And they were even better tonight. Fucking incredible.

― Stew (stew s), Monday, 10 October 2005 23:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought the last 2 songs were really incredible. The rest, I wasn't conviced about. The songs from the new album seemed to have difficulty translating to a live performance. Also, the sound in mono is really quiet.

― hmmm (hmmm), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 07:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Quiet? I had my earplugs in for about half of it. It was fine.

― Stew (stew s), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 09:04 (eighteen years ago) link

hmmmm, I don't think I'm particularly deaf. I was standing under the dome so that may have had an effect.

― hmmm (hmmm), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 09:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm with hmmm, when I saw them in Bristol last week the last two songs were amazing but the rest of it was only OK (and I really enjoyed them at ATP). It was very quiet here as well.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 09:32 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw Deerhoof play a couple of years ago. They were boring.

details of the sounds of myanmar record I was talking about

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 07:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Hi Glasgow.

Wet isn't it?

I am jealous of yr Instal festival on the weekend and sorry I will be in London rather than grooving to the out-there sounds.

― alext (alext), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 08:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I got f***** soaked on the way to work today... Again.

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 17:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I wish I hadn´t missed the Russian FAP.

I love you, Glasgow!

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 17:50 (eighteen years ago) link

that 'sounds of myanamar' just came through my letter box today. i shall peruse after tea.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:00 (eighteen years ago) link

it is really great, stir, my favourite is track 3...

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 13 October 2005 07:19 (eighteen years ago) link

I give in... would anyone be so kind... can a glasgow ilxor with a full copy of lost season 1 make me a copy, please?

in the meanwhile, I'll see if I can get the start to season 2 through the usual channels... I can't watch telly programs weekly anymore... torrents and DVD has ruined me

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 13 October 2005 19:25 (eighteen years ago) link

WILL TRAVEL FOR LOST

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 13 October 2005 19:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I would (and will) offer, but I bet someone else more efficient actually comes through with the goods before me.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 13 October 2005 19:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I have lost

so much

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 13 October 2005 23:46 (eighteen years ago) link

A new month is approaching and my mind turns to Big Dinner: can Glasgow ILX manage two in two months? The Greek thread is making my eyes water. Shall we continue our culinary odyssey at Konaki?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Somewhere new please.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:34 (eighteen years ago) link

your new flat?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:35 (eighteen years ago) link

hogmanay!

room

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Not my new rooms. No one enters my new rooms.

New Year, yes. I was thinking about that yesterday. I'm going to be up here, I think.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:42 (eighteen years ago) link

joanna blythman said it was sexy and seductive

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:42 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't want to go to room

48's bistro

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:43 (eighteen years ago) link

travelling up then isn't exactly a bargain, but i was expecting that to be the case.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I liked it last time and anyway it's only new for the people who went out for Cathy's birthday and anyway I've been told that Antonious is inferior.

I am going to be here for Hogmanay too.

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Room pisses me off. There's Glasgow's really smart, elegant top-end hotel, 10 Devonshire Gardens, wins awards and that, Clooney stays there. Then the whole look gets ruined by a tacky (lop-sided) sign outside for Room saying virtually: "Come on in! Hen parties welcome, children's menu available, Happy Hour all day Wednesdays!"

It's bringing down the area.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:46 (eighteen years ago) link

I might text the Metro about it.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:46 (eighteen years ago) link
