Parallax View, GFT, this Wednesday 18.15. Tense.

― JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Monday, 13 March 2006 10:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I was sad to notice that there was no Lauren in Glasgow. However I can confirm that the Fife Glaswegians were back and in fine form on Saturday night. And by 'in fine form' I mean, of course; completely off their collective face.

Saw the Concretes last night, for free, and had some cake. Glasgow is good to me.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 13 March 2006 12:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Concretes were superb. After all the palaver of traipsing through the snow to get there and worrying about getting home (in the end we got a lift, so it was all good) they had to deliver the goods. And they did. Those Swedes know how to warm the soul.

My street (Gardner St) is in the Herald today. People were sledging down it yesterday and it was a slushy nightmare today.
If anyone lives near Clouston St go check out the awesome snowman someone built. It's like 4 massive snowballs piled on top of each other, with trees for arms (well, branches).

― stew!, Monday, 13 March 2006 12:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm imagining something on the scale of the Stay Puft Man from Ghostbusters, with entire tree trunks for arms. Must get to Clouston St.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 13 March 2006 13:57 (eighteen years ago) link

You're not far off, Ally.

― stew!, Monday, 13 March 2006 15:09 (eighteen years ago) link

glasgow?

I know...

I think my deferred Trying More is now confirmed for w/c 24th April (it'll probably become more definite when I'm on holiday) so I propose aldoFAP2006 for Thurs 27th.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 17 March 2006 09:29 (eighteen years ago) link

I am already quadruple booked, for thurs the 27th

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 17 March 2006 09:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I would think "washing your hair" probably counts as quadruple booking, in your case, yes.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 17 March 2006 12:30 (eighteen years ago) link

aldoFAP2006 for Thurs 27th

triptych. mogwai. edinburgh. come.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 17 March 2006 14:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Work. Unlikely.

Might be able to do another night that week.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 17 March 2006 14:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Next Saturday I think I'm going to start drinking around 3pm. Wanna join me? I want to be ratfaced by midnight, when I will turn 31.
Message ends.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 25 March 2006 16:08 (eighteen years ago) link

(You do not have to show up at 3pm - any time after that is fine. Location TBC)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 25 March 2006 16:12 (eighteen years ago) link

(Message ends for real)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 25 March 2006 16:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I was rather ratfaced, last night

I will try, again, next week, but it is exhausting!!!

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 26 March 2006 18:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I was also rather ratfaced last night. I am suffering today for it, but I am treating it as "practice". I shall be up for the long-haul next week, I would have thought.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 26 March 2006 18:57 (eighteen years ago) link

aldoFAP needs to be on or after the 26th for financial purposes. Otherwise I shall be sitting in the corner drinking water like a poor person.

Problem with smoking ban = lack of opportunity to laugh at pished Grimly Fiendish for forgetting he's stopped smoking and buying a whole packet of cigarettes then giving them all away because he's remembered he's stopped smoking (see also aldo and onimo).

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 26 March 2006 19:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Hello. I have quite clearly been away from the board as I have been a little busy of late. I have things to show for it which some of you may be interested in - www.updatescotland.com

Comments & crits welcome.

hey neil! sorry i've not been in touch. things hectic and a tad shit right now. will e-mail soon.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 12:32 (eighteen years ago) link

No bother.

Right, I'm cream crackered after a week learning how to get millionnaires to give you their cash, so here is the new buffday plan:

6pm, Ichiban. Later, Mono.

I figured Ichiban is one of the few places a number of people can go to eat without needing to book a table and try to work out numbers in advance and all that malarkey. Anyone wanting to do the food bit will have to get there close to six o'clock so we can sit together, I guess.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 1 April 2006 09:11 (eighteen years ago) link

We'll be there!

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 1 April 2006 09:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Excellent!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 1 April 2006 10:25 (eighteen years ago) link

(can you get a millionaire to give me some cash please?)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 1 April 2006 10:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Unfortunately, I'm not sure you have a convincing enough philanthropic case.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 1 April 2006 12:06 (eighteen years ago) link

How do you know? Couldn't I formulate one?

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 1 April 2006 12:10 (eighteen years ago) link

You could certainly try.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 1 April 2006 14:56 (eighteen years ago) link

We are leaving the house soon. Will you be in a pub first, or will you be in Ichiban? I'm sure we shall find you, somehow. Is anyone else going?

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 1 April 2006 14:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Happy birthday, Madchen!!

― Lara (Lara), Saturday, 1 April 2006 23:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Happy birthday, Madchen. Good photos, whoever took 'em.

Hey! I'm going to be in Glasgow again on Thursday the 13th of April for one night only. My big bro is getting married on the Saturday and half of Dublin is coming over for the wedding.

Last time I spent a night in Glasgow, I stayed in the Jurys Inn on Jamaica St because it was cheap. It was also horrible, however (I don't like coming down to my breakfast in the morning to find a load of people already milling pints. And I don't like a sign in my room that says 'we do not advise you to leave your handbag or any other valuables in your room'). Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might stay that I won't fear getting stabbed. Note, I don't want to spend an absolute fortune either.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Monday, 3 April 2006 16:17 (eighteen years ago) link

the jury's inn's inside can't be worse than its outside

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 3 April 2006 16:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Are you fapping, accentmonkey?

My parents usually stay at the Premier Travel Inn at Charing Cross. Currently at £51 for the night for a room - if it's just you, that's quite near, but I guess it's reasonable if accentbloke is coming too.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 3 April 2006 16:40 (eighteen years ago) link

I am already booked, for next week

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 3 April 2006 16:43 (eighteen years ago) link

near = dear, obviously. I have no idea if it's near or not.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 3 April 2006 16:52 (eighteen years ago) link

The Travel Inn on the corner of George Street and Montrose Street is decent too.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 3 April 2006 17:56 (eighteen years ago) link

My parents stayed in a nice one near the cricket gound many years ago. Do not know name or tariffs, or nearness, but you won't get stabbed.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 09:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Not getting stabbed is my number one priority. Getting Fapped is number two priority. Any suggestions?

Thanks for those hotel names, I'll swing into action immediately.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 09:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Shallow advertising: I am playing a gig in Mono on the 13th, with some other people, if you (or anyone else) would like to come. Thank you.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I am already booked, for next week

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll be in sunny Surrey's trendy Woking that weekend, I'm afraid.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey, a gig sounds fun. I'll come to that! Marvellous. Sorted.

RJG, you'll be along, won't you?

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:40 (eighteen years ago) link

I am already booked, for next week

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Now you're double booked.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 13:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I forgot to say, it is FREE. RJG, you'll come?

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 15:42 (eighteen years ago) link

I hope so. I'm excited to meet RJG, who will certainly not let me down by being somewhere else.

Right?

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 15:43 (eighteen years ago) link

He just called to say he is 'in the process of cancelling flights'.
