the horror

― RJG, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 00:43 (seventeen years ago) link

It won't be just me... Alex will be playing too. With any luck, he will play DJ Rankin. My friend Matthew yesterday sent me a copy of his ZZ Top 20, which I might have to play some of too.

Is Club Mook the same as Keith and Alex's thing? I want to have my birthday stuff in Edinburgh this year.

― Madchen, Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:34 (seventeen years ago) link

hello!

i am still planning on coming yes - except i'm really stretching the word "planning" slightly here as I hadn't sorted out anything with trains or planes and that.. i don't think i'll be driving up though (after the France trip last weekend I think Nigel needs to go to services before I trust him to go anywhere far). So I'm 70% certain I'll be there.. only thing that would stop me is if the trains turn out to be MEGA expensive.

Wait: I forgot about MEGA BUS.

Is there anything fun happening on the Friday? I have that day off so will prolly come up then.

― ken c, Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Friday = NPL, innit.

― ailsa, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I've no idea what CLUB MOOK is, but ALEX PARTY is a week on Saturday.

― Keith, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

NPL = next Friday. Club Mook* = Alex Party = next Saturday.

Ken, be careful thinking you can get back from Edinburgh to Glasgow afterwards. As you may well be aware from my adventures last time you were up, it's a bit tricky.

I'm thinking there's a good chance we might make it for Madchen-birthday-Edinburgh-FAP. I haf vouchers to spend in a hotel so no rushing off back home for me (I'm guessing Keef and Alex have already been inundated with requests for places to crash).

*club night run by mooks, I'm guessing

― ailsa, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i've got as far as planning going to edinburgh, but i've no idea how we'll get back to glasgow again :/

isn't there a late-ish bus of some description?

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 22 March 2007 23:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I think we'll be staying in Edinburgh for club mook, then Madchen Birthday FAP on the Sunday.

― .stet., Thursday, 22 March 2007 23:15 (seventeen years ago) link

hmmm, right.

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 22 March 2007 23:17 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, hotel-booking plan is scuppered as hotel appears to be full and I don't have enough money to pay for a real hotel that I don't have free vouchers for. Oh well. Enjoy yersels. I might come over for a pint or two anyway.

― ailsa, Friday, 23 March 2007 00:39 (seventeen years ago) link

There are buses, like there are the other way, pretty late. I used to do this a lot. 12, 1:30 and 3:30 from memory. The 3:30 is largely to be avoided, if possible, but should be easy, because the bus station is 5-10 minutes from ALEX PARTY.

― Keith, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Wow, so there are! Cool! (there weren't when I got stuck in backpacker hostel hell last summer)

― ailsa, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:36 (seventeen years ago) link

b-b-but what about hotel keith? nae beds, but check out the after party!

― byebyepride, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I've heard about Keith after parties.

― ailsa, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah.... Trouble is, the place is a disaster area at the moment as I've been scraping walls and knocking in fireplaces and stuff.

― Keith, Friday, 23 March 2007 09:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I heard Keith doesn't have a pot to piss in, so I wouldn't want to impose on his hospitality :)

― Madchen, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Hurrah, Madchen gets it!

(btw, aren't we supposed to be lunching/dinnering with J & D at some point now that I'm back?)

― ailsa, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway, here's another blatant plug.

― Madchen, Friday, 23 March 2007 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

― leigh, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Am thinking about Edinburgh. Just thinking at the moment. Let's see what alcohol does to thought process...

― ailsa, Friday, 30 March 2007 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

am sorry to miss keith/alex party and missing glasgow

― RJG, Friday, 30 March 2007 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

aw, RJG, y'big soft get.

hope you're all rocking shit up at NPL. tomorrow: my plan remains the same, ie former colleague's retirement do during the day, then head through to edinburgh in the evening. warning: this means i will probably be arseholed.

― grimly fiendish, Friday, 30 March 2007 21:20 (seventeen years ago) link

come to edinburgh grimly! do it!

― ken c, Saturday, 31 March 2007 10:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Ow my head hurts. Ow. No Edinburgh for me. Have fun!

― ailsa, Saturday, 31 March 2007 10:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I've got a sore head and i didn't even drink last night - i fear the onset of the hayfever season may be to blame. I will load up on painkillers and make the trek tonight though.

― leigh, Saturday, 31 March 2007 11:15 (seventeen years ago) link

glad you made it back okay last night ailsa!!

― ken c, Saturday, 31 March 2007 11:18 (seventeen years ago) link

― ken c, Saturday, 31 March 2007 11:19 (seventeen years ago) link

i can see no reason at all why i won't be able to make it. unless i dissolve my liver first.

see you all later.

― grimly fiendish, Saturday, 31 March 2007 11:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Ken has left the City. Last seen heading East.

Ailsa was nagging me to stop lurking, so I have - see I do listen.

I'm too frazzled to come through, so have a good time in the 'burgh.

― Calumn, Saturday, 31 March 2007 13:25 (seventeen years ago) link

calumn!

― RJG, Saturday, 31 March 2007 13:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Calumn!

― Keith, Saturday, 31 March 2007 14:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyone got Ken's mobile number, so as we can explain if he gets lost?

― Keith, Saturday, 31 March 2007 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh Grimly, Ath0le and Chr1s are come along too. You might want to let Ph1l know. I don't have contact details for him.

― Keith, Saturday, 31 March 2007 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Forget the Ken thing; I've just read above.

― Keith, Saturday, 31 March 2007 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Have fun! I apologise to all and sundry for drunken bumbling.

― ailsa, Saturday, 31 March 2007 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry for missing it but a combination of antihistamines and an afternoon snifter in the canny man led to me nodding off at six and not waking again till 10.

― leigh, Saturday, 31 March 2007 23:06 (seventeen years ago) link

i am back. I salute you for being able to have had a drink in the Canny Man.

― Keith, Sunday, 1 April 2007 00:58 (seventeen years ago) link

rock the f*ck out. Canny Man is great -- peanuts on trays and general salubriousness. ok alex party has ruined me.

― byebyepride, Sunday, 1 April 2007 01:14 (seventeen years ago) link

FUK U!
