Protesters are expected to target ex-US secretary of state Colin Powell when he visits Glasgow to speak at a dinner.
He will address an event organised by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) at the Hilton Hotel on Monday evening.
The organisation said it was delighted to have secured Mr Powell's attendance at the fund-raising dinner.

However, pro-Palestinian activists plan to stage a protest while human rights campaigners want to raise the issue of CIA rendition flights with Mr Powell.

is cafe hula nice?

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 16 January 2006 10:57 (eighteen years ago) link

So, is Winchester Club still any good? I´ve been mildly harassed onto attending 11th February, but as it has already been pointed out, geocities site is not that useful to check schedules or anything :-(

― olenska (olenska), Monday, 16 January 2006 11:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Cafe Hula is nice, yes, though the staff are a bit off-hand sometimes and they have a stupid menu board system.

The Winchester Club? It depends. Let's say yes.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 16 January 2006 11:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Too much out of touch of your mischievous Brit humour to get the joke...I feel pathetic

Honestly!

OK, I´m a believer! Galactic theme makes everything look suspicious in Madrid and surroundings these days.

And how much would be for a train fare btw Liverpool and GLW, btw

― olenska (olenska), Monday, 16 January 2006 16:58 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm sorry--I don't know

You could probably walk.

Oi, Glasgow, tomorrow night. Belle and Sebastian. Virgin, ABC. Somewhere between those lies a pub. I will be in it. Will anyone be joining me?

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 16 January 2006 17:54 (eighteen years ago) link

The Variety is a handy sort of bar.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 16 January 2006 20:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Last time I was there, it was me plus five gentelemen. I want to try it again!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 16 January 2006 20:05 (eighteen years ago) link

The five gentlemen or the pub? I still have no idea what I am doing - Neil is threatening to take me out for food now since I have no firm plans. Shall I text you tomorrow?

If anyone needs 2 tix for tonight let me know as I know someone who's trying to flog a pair for 45 quid.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 January 2006 11:11 (eighteen years ago) link

nothing cheaper than 230 euros ; ryanair, why madrid is not a cheap destination? Please, hooligans of the world, start holidaying here!

Impromptu ILXor meeting last night: Cozen
Not-very-impromptu ILXor meeting: Madchen and Stet
Fairly impromptu, but not entirely unexpected, ILXor meeting: Keith W
Celeb count at B&S gig: Gerry Love, Stephen Pastel (Madchen took a sneaky photo), that bird what used to do that late night debate thing we talked about upthread that Stew was on once - oh, yeah, Trial By Night.

We think Murdoch's had singing lessons.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 14:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, yeah, other celeb at B&S = Sandy Nelson who plays the postie in Still Game and was in the Century of Fakers video. Glasgow's good for liggers, isn't it?

sandy nelson at jongleurs at the end of march

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 22:18 (eighteen years ago) link

he went to my school.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 22:23 (eighteen years ago) link

He used to be in a comedy musical thingie called Tequila Mockingbird. They were like an indie version of the Barron Knights. He used to be in my social circle when I moved in different social circles several years ago. He made a shed-load of money for being in Braveheart for about ten seconds. There ends my knowledge of rubbish Sandy Nelson facts.

I'm wavering but I sorely regretted not going to d.eulberg

Murdoch's not had singing lessons - he's just channelling Leo Sayer

I too am wavering about this. I was spectacularly dissapointed with the mayer/kohnke night in april. Plus, I have to work on sunday, although not until the afternoon.

― hmmm (hmmm), Thursday, 19 January 2006 10:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Well done, Madchen.

I don't think I can afford r.the dog but I might persuade myself

I was given a banana in Glasgow this morning.

i am cripplingly and frighteningly hungover today.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 19 January 2006 11:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I haven't had a drink since last Saturday! Worrrying, I feel more fuzzy headed in the morning than I usually do. Last night seems hazy.
