try glasgow more

Thanks jed_ :(

that's cool! i take it you didn't get through so commiserations. it's a tough show!

I did get through!

Another thing: it's been a while since I heard any real hatred towards English people. I'm surprised that wasn't more visible during the referendum. In primary school I remember kids saying they really hated the English.

maybe you're not hanging around enough primary schools

I did get through!

oh, cool!

lol @ sic

because it's now hidden in the middle of the thread i should say again that we're going to have a ILX meet up (or FAP in the old currency although I'm told that that means something else now!).

Friday the 13th of October at 6pm in the Vic Bar at The Art School.

Unless it changes, which it won't

Hello! I will attempt to attend Glasgow FAP. I may fail.

Do try Gerty.

Glad you saw this, because I kept meaning to text you and tell you in case you didn't, but I'm a bit rubbish and I keep forgetting.

No sure about my new name :)

Is it just me or is Fruit Shoot sold in more shops than Ribena or any other blackcurrent drink? I tried Fruit Shoot again and its just as ghastly as I remembered.

I tend to find Ribena widely available in Scotland's many fine stockists of juice.

Ribena is a widely available juice in our many cities and towns

Ribena was a popular drink and it still is.

Was there not some sort of campaign to get rid of Ribena because it was too sugary or something? Fruit Shoots are shite though, I'll give you that. Do you mean the wee ready-mixed cartons of Ribena as opposed to the bottles of concentrate?

there was a lot of controversy when it came out, ten year ago or so, that ribena has not very much vitamin c, barely any fruit, and is basically not really any more nutritious than any type of ginger

There was neither.

Concentrate Ribena is rank. Pre-mixed Ribena is a nice drink.

Ribena is delicious. Strawberry Ribena is *of the gods*.

Ribena in a carton with a straw needed to puncture it when I was a child >>>>> most other drinks

Fruit Shoots are awful. Every time I'm in McDonalds and I hear a parent get one for their child as part of a Happy Meal I always assume the parent just doesn't love their child.

Also, not enough shops carry blackcurrent Capri Sun.

That’s because the Natural Order of Things is blackcurrant = Ribena, orange = Capri Sun.

asshoppers need not apply

I shall be trying Glasgow more later and am very much looking forward to it.

I'm going to be the first asshopper to say they can't make this now, sadly.

this asshopper forgot (i know...) - I'll be an hour late!

This asshopper is suffering a hangover and will definitely be late if he makes it out the door

lol, never change, Glasgow :)

This grasshopper is just about on time but might not be able to hang around all night for the asshoppers

It looked like me and missus might be trying a lot of Glasgow more, she went up and back from London on Wednesday for a job interview, 12 hours on trains :/

But it didn't happen - but we'll be trying Glasgow again in the new year.

Which is to say have a nice FAP!

Glasgow
The rest of the world
Thinks you're good at this
You're rubbish
Glasgow

Worra fucking liberty.

I had a lovely night with Alisa and Gerty nonetheless!

Glasgow is still endearingly rubbish at fapping, but Gerty/Herpes (the king of autocorrect names) and Jed are still excellent company in a bar where I feel like people think I'm someone's mum coming to check out on them (seriously, ffs, they apparently let weans into the art school now, let's pretend I'm not old enough to actual have given birth to people who can commence further education).

Let's do this properly next time, eh?

Yeah I wasn't able to make it as a result of this and that. Hopefully next time

Sorry I didn't make it, I was stuck at home working unfortunately. Another time.

Have occasionally been known to fap in Glasgow (with the ever-great-company Ward Fowler), so will bookmark!

Weird ass sky today.

Far too dark. Every light on in the house!

I cycled home in sunshine and blue skies though earlier this afternoon. Also sat for a coffee next to a few press photographers who had been out looking for photo opportunities for and been largely short changed.

Excuse the extraneous "for" in there.

this Numbers x Warp thing at the Art School on Friday looks AMAZING, is anyone going?

Aye, it does look ace. Unfortunately, I have a work Xmas party and, having already bailed on it last year, I probably can't two years running.

Will be at the Art School tonight for Dinosaur Jr. though.

I'm bailing on my work night out for this :)

I know it's a pain for drivers and the lingering ice might be a bitch soon enough but I've been loving the snow, I had a great time today even though my socks got pretty wet.

I went sledging the day before yesterday for the first time since I can remember, which was good fun. But now I want it gone with estreme prejudice and we're due more
