I am alone in the world.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 16:58 (eighteen years ago) link

But almost finished work, at least. I just found a nice little case of benefit fraud.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 16:59 (eighteen years ago) link

You and Gillanders had best plan your Dublin trip soon - I'm getting impatient. You should start hatching a plan for that tonight.

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 17:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, maybe.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 20:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Lara, why not come to Glasgow next weekend? There's a big Byrne wedding on you could crash. Pretend to be our cousin. I'll vouch for you.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:06 (eighteen years ago) link

can i be your american cousin?
i hear the irish do it better. i need proof.

Ask Dastoor ;-)

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 6 April 2006 19:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Calling Ally C. I have emailed you to your hotmail email to ask your advice on something. I am temporarily without a mobile phone once more.

Accentmonkey, what time will you be doing things on Thursday? I may now not be going to see Dot to Dot, since I have another friend in another band in another venue that night. Sorry :-(

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 6 April 2006 19:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I get in early on Thursday, so I could meet earlier if that's better. I've got no plans, and frankly the Vicar was giving the Glasgow massive such mad props last night that I am keen to meet as many people as I can.

Where's the gig on that you're going to, Ailsa? Is it possible to do both?

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 7 April 2006 06:18 (eighteen years ago) link

It's in Miso, which is on West Regent Street, and a very bizarre place for a gig (however the mister's cousin works there, and they serve posho nice cocktails, which is good). I've since found out that friend's band are also playing fairly locally on Saturday, so whether I go and see them on Thursday or Saturday is now entirely dependent on which, if any, day my brother comes down to see them. And whether I can get the day off on Friday (yes, I know it's Good Friday, but apparently that doesn't matter to the powers-that-decide-our-holidays).

Either way, I can be in a pub for after 5, how quickly after 5 depends on how city-centre-ish we are for early-doors drinking.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 7 April 2006 18:20 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm up for some kind of beer on thursday. a surprising and slightly odd set of circumstances and happenings at work mean i've no fucking idea when i'll be able to get away. but i'll be out. somewhere. at some point.

i think.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 10 April 2006 19:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Have a minion fetch it for you

― stet (stet), Monday, 10 April 2006 21:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I want minions.

In the meantime, here's one of my mini-yins:

OUCH!

gagging with cuteness!

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 12:02 (eighteen years ago) link

i had a dream featuring ally C and RJG and the guy who used to play sinbad in brookside.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 12:10 (eighteen years ago) link

As I predicted elsewhere, incompetent bastards at another company have delayed aldoFAP for at least three weeks, probably till the beginning of June. At least it won't clash with Mogwai.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 12:56 (eighteen years ago) link

And I should be able to go now!

Jed, sweetie, I think we need details.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 13:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd do a lot of things, to see Sinbad and RJG in the same room.

― i've dreamt of rubies! (Mandee), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 13:36 (eighteen years ago) link

how v strange!

I went to see 'anything goes', at the king's, last month, and sinbad was in it!! michael something. he was pretty good, too!! xx

ally C was not there but I DID tell him about it

: O

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 15:14 (eighteen years ago) link

we were in the same room!

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 15:18 (eighteen years ago) link

so you mean Sinbad the comedian right? this guy?

can someone photoshop him w/ RJG?

my dad told me a funny reason why he was called "sinbad", in brookside

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 15:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Window washer thing isn't it, because he cuts the corners?

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 16:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, washed them like portholes rather than like proper windows.

Are we accentmonkeyfapping on Thursday then?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I am already booked, for this week

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 17:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Should I assume we aren't doing anything tomorrow then? Or else that you are all planning enormous amounts of fun off board and no-one is telling me.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 17:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Daer Glasgow, accentmonkey is fucking amazing, please get off your arses for your own sake. Love!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 22:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I am sorry, I am already booked, for this week

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 22:17 (eighteen years ago) link

i was looking out of my window and i saw Ally C and RJG go into the close opposite so i texted them and asked them if they wanted to visit me for a coffee and when they did they brought sinbad with them who was their drug dealer (i was surprised too) and who they had just been visiting. it was their reason to be in maryhill in the first place. there was something about there being no stairs to my flat so they had to climb up ropes to get here and when they did get here RJG was trying to steal my screensaver and i dare say other things happened but i can't really remember.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 22:24 (eighteen years ago) link

i will come for an accentmonkey drink. she's one of my ILBro's.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 22:32 (eighteen years ago) link

I DID steal your screensaver!

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 22:44 (eighteen years ago) link

but you didn't steal it right out of my computer!

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 12 April 2006 22:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Dearest Glasgow,

I don't do ILX at work, and I don't have a mobile phone. If any accentmonkey-related plans develop for after work, can someone please email me and tell me. This email address works if you alter the obvious bit.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 13 April 2006 05:31 (eighteen years ago) link

That is good.

ADA on May 5th, Glasgow. I AM EXCITED.

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 14 April 2006 00:05 (eighteen years ago) link

i didn't go out last night. i was at work till late. then i went home and watched "the apprentice", which i'd taped on wednesday, because i was at work late that night too. (okay: i was in the pub on wednesday. but it was with a colleague for a meeting that went much better for its lubrication with alcohol. then i bought a kebab, got half of it on my (non-power-rangers) suit and the other half on my shoes, and passed out.)

life is very bizarre right now.

but dahlin, your comment above has been noted and vengeance will be mine at a later date :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 14 April 2006 18:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I did go out. My head *still* hurts. I'm sorry I missed Dot to Dot, but the other band I ran off to see were very good.

Grimly, I'll be your minion if you like, since it would appear I am to be unemployed after 19th May. But I'm not wearing no power rangers suit.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 14 April 2006 18:26 (eighteen years ago) link

fuck! that's harsh. i'm sorry to hear that, ailsa.

i would love you to be my minion ... but unless you fancy paying the company for the privilege of doing so, i doubt they'll hire you. or indeed anyone. ever again. the tigh [+++NO CARRIER]
