At least four of us are collecting Panini. There was a vague plan to meet up tomorrow after work to do swopsies - who's up for it?

Is the new lanark thingie called The Annie McLeod Experience? I can vaguely remember that from a school history trip.

They should stick the falls of clyde back on to the cover of the phone book for Lanarkshire again.

No, it's definitely a Millennium Experience. Mostly it's a hologram of this girl called Harmony from 200 years in the future wearing dodgy lycra and silver facepaint. Anne McLeod does crop up as a waxwork lying on her sickbed, and there is also an Annie McLeod Tour of the schoolhouse.

They had opened the barriers at the top of the Falls of Clyde so it was at maximum gush for the bank holiday, but I didn't notice any difference tbh.

I have emailed Onimo about pre-match pints and this could and should be extended to swapsieing as well. It might encourage me to go and buy some bloody stickers - I have lost all enthusiasm for it due to lack of, erm, enthusiasm.

I can't find anywhere selling the damn things. Ally C says Woolworths is the place so I'll go tomorrow.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 17:15 (eighteen years ago) link

Every shop I went into today just had SPL stickers.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 17:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing :(

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 5 May 2006 10:44 (seventeen years ago) link

is it world cup stickers? they had some at the wee shop at st. john's hospital in livingston, yesterday

you should just do what your adult income allows which is order a crate of stickers and sit and open them all in one go and fill the book!

I think the Co-op is the best place for Panini FIFA Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft Deutschland 2006 stickers.

Sorry I couldn't make the swapsie meeting (did it happen?), I was ill.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 5 May 2006 10:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Yesterday I walked past Stew outside Partick Station and I waved at him and said hello and he didn't see me.

-- ailsa (ailsa.watso...), April 29th, 2006.

Oops, sorry! Was in flitting mode. Stress!

― Stew (stew s), Friday, 5 May 2006 10:59 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, aldoFAP is looking more likely now. Almost definitely I will be up 22-25 May - can do any night Mon-Weds, could almost certainly do Sun 21st as well if needs be. GET YOUR BIDS IN NOW FOR PREFERRED EVENING/LOCTAION.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 5 May 2006 11:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll be unemployed! I can go every night if you like! (I may be poor though, but not poor enough to not buy you beer in return for lots of DVDs)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 6 May 2006 05:31 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm on 2-10 shifts the week beginning monday 22nd, so sunday night would be good. failing that, i can just meet you later somewhere. any day, i think.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 6 May 2006 09:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I know ailsa said NOT SUNDAY elsewhere, but it really is sort of my preferred day. Failing that, Monday. I need an answer by lunchtime tomorrow at the latest, so FITE IT OUT please glasgow.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 14:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Sunday is OK, really. I might have a job (whoo!) now, so any evening is much of a muchness. My prediction that I wouldn't be too poor to buy you beer may have been a touch rash, however. Will you accept some good wishes and a pint of water instead?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I would prefer Monday.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh for fuck's sake - FITE!

(In other words, is that "would prefer" or "must be", since Si can't do any other day practically?)

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 18:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Well I'm expected at a family thing on Sunday at 5pm and would therefore arrive in Glasgow quite late, if at all, and have to leave quite early as Sunday trains = shit (particularly this weekend as there's a shittier than shit replacement bus service).

Then again I saw you only yesterday so it's not a big deal if I miss out.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 19:48 (seventeen years ago) link

OK. I will plan for Sunday, but it will be dependent on flights and hotel availability. As you said, we've just been to Camber.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 20:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I need to know too, like NOW, because if, as hoped, I am offered a job, I want to tell them what day I can start on, and hangovers may be a factor.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Or I could exercise some restraint, seeing as how I am teh poor an' that.

Al or Gerry, can you let me know when a decision is made tomorrow please, so I can negotiate my future career accordingly?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't tell before I check flights and hotels, lunchtime tomorrow is the best I can do. If this isn't OK we'll have to say Monday and Si will just have to turn up when he can.

(This is pretty much since the four of us are the only vocal ones and nobody else seems to be throwing numbers either way)

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, I'm not that bothered either way. It's really "taking sides, Onimo vs Grimly", innit, for Monday vs Sunday?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 21:04 (seventeen years ago) link

My actual real preference is for Sunday now, I think, because I can tell teh new work something, and then start on Tuesday and get myself a long lie on Monday. I shall be boozing with Onimo tomorrow, so I think I can survive not seeing him on Sunday. Also, if Grimly is going, we can form a two-person steering committee and nominate the Station Bar. Is reasonably early doors an option?

I realise you won't know until tomorrow lunchtime. I don't do ILX at work, so will need communication via email or text please...

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

hmm. i'm going to blair drummond safari park with my nephew on sunday now, and i've no idea when i'll be back. certainly in time for some beers, though; i'll probably be able to get to a pub for half-eight. but if monday's better for everyone else, don't worry about it; i'll come along as soon as i get out of work.

see? i refuse to fite. i'm compromising instead. verily, i am the peacemaker. or something. the pissmaker, maybe. certainly after five pints of IPA in the station bar.

is anyone else up for this? is anyone else even reading this thread?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm reading it!

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 22:33 (seventeen years ago) link

so am i!

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

are you coming to the pub on sunday or monday?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 22:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think so : (

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 22:38 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm going to blair drummond safari park with my nephew on sunday now

You're just hoping to see a bear eat a monkey.

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 22:52 (seventeen years ago) link

you beat me to it.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 16 May 2006 22:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Sunday yes monday no. Hopefully not the station bar though.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 00:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Fuck, you lot are rubbish. I vote SUNDAY. SUNDAY!!

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 05:47 (seventeen years ago) link

we're going prepared, just in case of disappointment.

Bollocks, I've now been told I have to come back down on Tuesday during the day, then back to Glasgow Tuesday night to work in the evening... this is all too rushed, I'm going to have to dip out of this altogether. Sorry glasgow. ailsa, you should get your dvds tonight off Gerry anyway. Can somebody who can use their phone at work text her and let her know? Ta.

I'll come up in the summer when I have some ACTUAL TIME.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 08:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Your employer is crap.

I'll text ailsa.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 08:44 (seventeen years ago) link

They certainly are.

Ta.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 08:53 (seventeen years ago) link

What's this about Sunday?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 09:46 (seventeen years ago) link

ailsa would like a pint with someone and I've let her down.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 10:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Talking of crap employers...

I got the sack yesterday for reading my email. No warning, just one strike and out. It was all over in a matter of minutes. Cunts.

So me and Hmmm are no longer colleagues. Boo!

― Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 12:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't really want a pint on Sunday, I would have preferred Sunday for aldo-FAP is all. The rush to notify me so I could negotiate a start date with my new employer which didn't coincide with a hangover was all in vain, since they haven't actually phoned to offer me the job. Thanks for the DVDs anyway, Al, which I am leaving to go and pick up in a matter of minutes. *checks watch, panics*

Aw, Stew, I'd just applied for a job with your work as well :-(

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 16:31 (seventeen years ago) link

The management there have turned evil. Don't believe all the "you're an associate not an employee" pish! All the best with that though, a job's a job!

― Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

bloody hell, stew! that's deeply harsh. fucking hell.

but hey, glasgow. we can still drink without aldo. when shall we do it?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link

So me and Hmmm are no longer colleagues. Boo!Oh no! Should they not have instigated some sort of disciplinary procedure rather than just asking you to leave?

Shits.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 22:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Talking again of crap employers, my trip next week has just been fucking cancelled. Since I can't rant and shout in the office I'll do it here instead.

aldo, i emailed you to your work because i couldn't remember what variant of your name you used for your email. however, it was to offer to buy you beer in glasgow, so i guess it doesn't matter if you didn't get it.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 18 May 2006 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link
