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)

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...

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 22:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think so : (

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 18 May 2006 16:46 (seventeen years ago) link

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

anyone been to the new comme des garcons?

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 21 May 2006 07:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I have no idea where that is but I'm intrigued. To the google machine!

― jimnaseum (jimnaseum), Sunday, 21 May 2006 14:14 (seventeen years ago) link

wow i didn't know about that CDG. maybe it's gone by now.

anyway: i saw jandek walking down buchanan street today WTF?!!!!!!

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 19:23 (seventeen years ago) link

did you try talking to him?!

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 19:49 (seventeen years ago) link

no, i looked at him and he saw some sort of flicker of aknowledgement in me before looking down and walking past.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

You'll be glad I've got a lovely new temp job at Yell, starting at the end of next week. It's an ok place to work apparently as most of the people are over-educated slackers like myself.

ATP was rad!

― Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 13:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Hurrah for Stew! I need a temp job too, but I can't actually be bothered going any further than Paisley to look for one.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 13:41 (seventeen years ago) link

no-one at my work is an "over-educated slacker"

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 13:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Perhaps "arts graduate" is a better and more accurate term!

― Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link

dunno how many, of them, we have, either

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 14:04 (seventeen years ago) link

no-one at my work is RJG. Or Stew, either.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 14:30 (seventeen years ago) link

comme des garcons is here for a year I think

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 15:58 (seventeen years ago) link

let's go

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 16:24 (seventeen years ago) link

how was it?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 24 May 2006 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

(that didn't work. i thought it would look funnier. sorry.)

9/10. You were docked a point for not reversing the B in ABBA.

Cor, World Cup + Winchester = fantabulous amounts of boozing. Hurrah! (I probably won't be there, like, but, y'know...)
