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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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?

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

We were asked to consider Room's rather unimaginative Christmas menu at work the other day. I think we're just going to one of the hotels up the end of Argyle Street now.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 12:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Also, its logo is really naff.

easyjet or ryan air??

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Easyjet!

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:03 (eighteen years ago) link

room sounds kinda contrived.

we should go to the greek golden kebab on the south side. and no, not just because it's a bawhair away from my house.

failing that, we should just go to the PUB.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:04 (eighteen years ago) link

room's logo looks like a weirdo's knuckleduster

Haha, Grimly thinks he can tempt ilx sarf of the river. Ooh, but there is that good-looking Kurdish place on Pollokshaws Road which I want to try.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't want to pull a good-looking Kurd. Actually maybe I do. I was assuming it was all men, for some reason. How sexist. Or is it homophobic? Or racist?

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Hang, on. We're not going out on the pull, are we? I'm getting confused with the conversation I am having with my colleagues about our Christmas do.
