I like very much that the care-o-meter has pi marked on it. In fact, I love that it has pi marked on it.

ally: what was the name of that stars track, by the way?

i wish i could remember at what point my brain decided to stop me checking out stars. even the cover of the bloody album looks familiar. gah. anyway, i thought it was fantastic, whatever it was.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:55 (eighteen years ago) link

The best Stars track is Elevator Love Letter. In fact, it's one of the two best indie tracks of this MILLENNIUM. Maybe.

I don't know if this is what Ally was talking about.

I've just discovered the huge cut on my ear from that mat, fiendish. get one pair of running shoes

― stet (stet), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:20 (eighteen years ago) link

*MIRTH*

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:21 (eighteen years ago) link

no really! it's huge!

I'm going to get you. with a mat. unless mrs fiendish sees, when I'll look all contrite instead

― stet (stet), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:23 (eighteen years ago) link

take a picture!

how the FUCK have you gone for 22 hours without noticing it? (mädchen: this q also applies to you.)

are you sure it was the mat, and not the sheer metaphorical power of that woman giving you a verbal clip round the earhole?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Probably because they've just sobered up.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Cozen - can I point you in the direction of the 'Hanne Hukkelberg - best thing since sliced bread' thread as I have just yousendited a sutekh mix of 'ease' which is really quite excellent.

― hmmm (hmmm), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:39 (eighteen years ago) link

"ageless beauty", i think it was. it sounds very familiar.

"elevator love letter" also awesome, though.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 20:00 (eighteen years ago) link

I did notice it the cut ear, but he was asleep so I couldn't say anything to him. I am, as M. Rossiter sang, sick, sober and sorry (that I won't be at the Winchester Club tonight). I am cradling a big cup of coffee and checking out the TV guide.

I am at tehh winhecster nad I am danicng....

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 12 November 2005 21:50 (eighteen years ago) link

with your mac?!

i am drinking wine and watching madonna on parkinson. (not literally "on" parkinson. that would be wrong.)

I don't know anyone who works at mono

maybe cookie should get a job there instead of at a police station

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 13 November 2005 16:53 (eighteen years ago) link

is cook a cop now? my, i've missed so much...
i agree, alba. i agree
and um... yeah
my dad is cheering a football score too, but it's of the helmeted mongrel variety.
do you miss me yet?

How did you enjoy Koshkemeer Glasgow?

― Rumpie, Monday, 14 November 2005 09:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Num num! ~~Luckily~~ Sadly, I don't think anyone took any photographs.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 14 November 2005 11:21 (eighteen years ago) link

i thought koshkemeer was superb. the kurdish kombo, or whatever it was called, was a veritable feast. hmmm's saucy thing looked tasty as fuck, and even alba's bizarre fruity dish looked, well, fruity.

it also came in at less than 13 quid a head for two courses, including corkage and service charge, which makes it a total fucking winner in my book.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 14 November 2005 11:35 (eighteen years ago) link

mediocre

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 14 November 2005 11:50 (eighteen years ago) link

yes, but you're notoriously hard to satisfy.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 14 November 2005 12:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I am

Oh well, I'm not the Galloping Gourmet I thought then.

― Rumpie, Monday, 14 November 2005 12:21 (eighteen years ago) link

haha, the mister was so jealous of you lot with your combo thing when he just had a measly rubbish kebab. I thought it was very good. Not as good as Cossachok, but maybe I just chose unwisely this time. However, yes, under £13 with a "buy two bottles of wine get the third three" Haddows across the road meaning approx £16 each for skull-damaging levels of booze and shitloads of food gives it the thumbs up from me.

The cheapness this month means I don't feel quite so bad about suggesting an expensive place + train fares for Try Glasgow More at Christmas food :) I guess January will be 2 for £5.99 in some JD Wetherspoons then...

I had a thought for Raeburns actually. Daytime menu is a bit cheaper than evening menu, so we could go on a Saturday afternoon instead. Except it would have to be the 3rd or the 17th December as the 10th would mean that Onimo and I would be at the football. If anyone hates me for picking somewhere v.v. expensive, I haven't paid a deposit yet so we can cancel it, and go another month when the festive menus are off (it's usually about £23 a head rather than £30 for the evening menu outwith December).

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 14 November 2005 18:22 (eighteen years ago) link

i can't do the 3rd: i'm looking after my godson. no, seriously.

17th is do-able, i think, but i can't commit to daytimes quite so easily.

what does everyone else reckon? there's probably a lot to be said for waiting till the festivities are over, to be honest. i'd want a lot of value from that extra £7 :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 14 November 2005 19:18 (eighteen years ago) link

If we went on the ninth it could be problematic for me because it's the same day as my work Christmas lunch. I'm very happy for this to be my excuse to escape, but I would already have been drinking lots and would probably fall asleep or throw up or something. Also, shall I be the one to mention Christmas cash shortages? Ugh, sorry to have to bring that up *spits* but the more I think about it, the more I lean towards a January dinner.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 14 November 2005 20:37 (eighteen years ago) link

No, Mädchen, I had considered Christmas poverty too, hence why I threw it out for a suggestion so early (and I do have vague memories of you mentioning that you thought that might be your office do). We should maybe just Xmas-FAP in December and then Try Paisley More in January. I was couching it in "I don't feel quite so bad" sentiments because actually I did feel quite bad, but I didn't want to say.

May I humbly suggest Saturday December 17th for fappage since that's the day before my birthday? When is the December Winchester anyway? (I know Ally told me but I was suffering from excessive boozage at that point so I wasn't really retaining information)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 14 November 2005 22:36 (eighteen years ago) link

My work Christmas night out: 9th.
Winchester featuring Bricolage vs Dot to Dot: 10th.

'Ageless Beauty', correct. The most immediate corker from a great last album. 'Your Ex-Lover Is Dead', 'Set Yourself On Fire' and 'What I'm Trying To Say' also very good. But they're almost all good.

Good night, on Friday.

I am thinking of leaving glasgow

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 03:02 (eighteen years ago) link

― heh, Tuesday, 15 November 2005 04:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Even if Claire Danes is here?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 10:07 (eighteen years ago) link

RJG, no! why?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 11:20 (eighteen years ago) link

where will you go?

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 13:23 (eighteen years ago) link

somewhere where no-one knows me just kidding

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 13:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't ever want to be leaving

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 13:33 (eighteen years ago) link

I am still trying to arrange Christmas schedules but FAPage on the 27th or 28th December may well be on offer.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 13:33 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll be back in Glasgow at about 7.30pm on 28th December.

very good

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 14:12 (eighteen years ago) link

aldo - when come, bring butteries (Tesco has let me down)! I may well have daughterly duties to fulfil on 27th, but I can endeavour to send the parents back northwards to freezing northland in order for 28th FAPpage. Or delay their arrival until 28th in order for 27th FAPpage. ("sorry, parents, would love to do festive things with you but I'm off to the pub with mentalists instead").

Shall I just cancel Raeburns then?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 18:31 (eighteen years ago) link

fappery/fappage/whatever the noun is on the 28th would probably suit me better than the 27th, but ... that all depends on how many ropey magazines i can cobble together before christmas to maximise day-off potential :)

aldo, yes, bring butteries. hundreds of the fuckers.

and yes, let's do raeburn's some time in the new year. assuming the horrific winter weather doesn't submerge paisley under 100ft of snow, or something.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 18:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Also, LET'S GO CURLING!!! Or at least ice-skating! I am awaiting the new fake-snow indoor ski thingie that's opening down the road from me (I can see it out my window) like a very excited child, but in the meantime, we should make FAP-on-ice happen.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 19:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I hope I get to Glasgow in time to go ice-skating in George Square. The boots always give me blisters and I get knackered after ten minutes but it is still worth the £8, I think.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:07 (eighteen years ago) link

FAP-on-ice

count me the skidding fuck out. i've never been on a pair of skates in my life, and i certainly don't intend to start at the age of 30 ;)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:20 (eighteen years ago) link

also: we'd spill our pints.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I really meant curling, you don't need skates for that. I thought you were up for it when we talked about it when aldo was up the last time. However booze --> skating ---> more booze is good fun too. Honest. Or you can stand at the side with an over-priced mulled wine and pish yourself laughing instead.

No-one's going to want to do this, are they?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Curling! I don't know about. I'd go skating though. As long as GF wasn't allowed to stand at the side sniggering when I fell.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:31 (eighteen years ago) link

In that sentence, does GF stand for Grimly Fiendish or GirlFriend? Can we both laugh at you?

Im totally up for curling.
