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.

Also, its logo is really naff.

Easyjet!

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.

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.

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

not that'd I'd go

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Cafe La Padella is kind of Turkish.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:26 (eighteen years ago) link

that good-looking Kurdish place on Pollokshaws Road

koshkemeer? YES, IT LOOKS ACE. let's go there. now.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I tried and failed to persuade Stet to go there last night. There was one near the Snaffle, but I think it's closed down. Aren't a lot of the Turkish people here actually ethnic Kurds who have done a runner?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:27 (eighteen years ago) link

~~ethnic~~ Kurds

I think

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Let's talk about Turkey's human rights record, for Cathy.

There = Padella. He is up for 'the Kosh'.

seb's?

mediterranean, more than turkish

tell him he's a big chumper.

and to check his e-mail.

i'm not really up on the turkish diaspora, but i do know that lots of people have told me koshkemeer - which styles itself "scotland's first kurdish restaurant" - is absolutely MIGHTY. as long as you like lamb, that is.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:34 (eighteen years ago) link

When I worked in the tall flats on Red Road, there was a lovely Kurdish woman called Neriman whose dream it was to own a cafe. She was doing her food hygiene certificate and looking at a place near the university at the time (about 3 years ago). I've often wondered what happened to her.

She used to sing me the Turkish version of Kiss Kiss too!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:39 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't like lamb

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:41 (eighteen years ago) link

you worked in the red road flats?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, for about 3 months in summer 2002. It was by far the most interesting, friendly and thoroughly good place I've worked since I've been here. I was just very overqualified and underpaid.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't like lamb

you and mrs fiendish both (hence my not having been to koshkemeer yet).

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Does she like pork?

― alext (alext), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:17 (eighteen years ago) link

very forward

The List says you don't have to eat lamb; chicken and fish are also available. Also, it is BYO = key I'd say.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Does she like pork?

no, but she enjoys tiny chipolatas very much.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:31 (eighteen years ago) link

very backwards

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:32 (eighteen years ago) link

are there any good mexican restaurants in glasgow?

BYOASBO

This is totally the year of the sausage. (for me I mean).

― alext (alext), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:37 (eighteen years ago) link

If we're not going to ATP we should totally go somewhere with sausages.

― alext (alext), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:38 (eighteen years ago) link

I wouldn't call Pancho Villas good, but by UK standards it's acceptable. (crosspost)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyway, how does Friday 11th November suit?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:53 (eighteen years ago) link

november 11 is good by me.

If we're not going to ATP we should totally go somewhere with sausages

you sausage-obsessed poltroon :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 15:05 (eighteen years ago) link

I've had more sausages than are good for me. They're on sale in Sainsbury's on woodlands road, sossidge fans.

I tried and failed to persuade Stet

She did:

Stet: Where shall we go for to eat?
Madchen: Well, there's this cafe down woodlands rd.
S: O? Wot do it sell tell me o you mite
M: I've no idea. It's a cafe, I think. It mite be closed, too.
S: Any idea what it sells at all?
M: Um, no. It's a cafe. O the rain's on now too.
S: Let's go somewhere good instead.
M: OK.

Hey! I'm off Friday 11. I can come too. The Kosh then?

Hello Glasgow. Sorry to interupt your thread, but I wanted to communicate with Alba D. (Not that the rest of you aren't lovely)
Nick, do I have your correct mobile number? I have three email addresses for you, but they are all very old. Could you email me?

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 20 October 2005 15:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Hi Anna!
