jed_'s fat mono ugly-david-van-day guy is a total dickhead, yeh

bar 91 is fine, in reality. just haven't been in there in a while because I always used to go there

not that I am going to be around for this, probably

david-van-day guy

:)

i nearly got battered in bar 91 once -- with really good reason, too. i'm not promising i can recreate this on saturday, but you never know: another dude with a long-standing and legitimate grudge against me might well be sitting by the door when i walk in. bloodsport for all, etc.

grimly fiendish, Monday, 15 October 2007 17:49 (sixteen years ago) link

good to see the usual solid working-towards-a-consensus in progress! someone sort it aaht by Friday arvo when I can look at an internet in Brixton.

Where are you staying, EFG?

3uro H0stels Glasgow, I think on Clyde St. Happy to go anywhere though (old mentalists fine, football mentalists no), I should be able to get the stage times on Thursday morning to assist in planning.

Is the Hielan Jessie scary? I often admire its architecture from the number 40.

Madchen, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 11:16 (sixteen years ago) link

I think I may be paying a work-related visit to the SECC on the 26th this month. Are weegeez around for drinks that weekend?

Stevie T, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 11:25 (sixteen years ago) link

Are you going to the Arcade Fire gig then? accentmonkey is over for that as well, so there are tentative drinking plans afoot.

ailsa, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 11:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Grand - I missed the monkey when she was in London!

Stevie T, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 11:28 (sixteen years ago) link

:(

RJG, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 13:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Saturday stage times:

Chris T-T @ 7:15
Frank & Walters @ 7:55
Carter @ 9pm.

Now someone tell me where to be! (it's going to wind up being Mono, isn't it...)

energy flash gordon, Thursday, 18 October 2007 12:14 (sixteen years ago) link

Yup

Madchen, Thursday, 18 October 2007 13:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Mono at ... 5 o'clock?

Madchen, Thursday, 18 October 2007 13:55 (sixteen years ago) link

Hang on, what time is rugger?

Madchen, Thursday, 18 October 2007 13:55 (sixteen years ago) link

Hmmm. 7.30pm. Walkabout after Mono anyone?

Madchen, Thursday, 18 October 2007 14:01 (sixteen years ago) link

bugger rugger

RJG, Thursday, 18 October 2007 16:16 (sixteen years ago) link

hang on, i thought we were doing bar 91?

grimly fiendish, Thursday, 18 October 2007 21:31 (sixteen years ago) link

As always, everythings defaults to fucking Mono

ailsa, Thursday, 18 October 2007 22:28 (sixteen years ago) link

bar 91

RJG, Thursday, 18 October 2007 23:52 (sixteen years ago) link

BAR 91, PEOPLE. WE'RE GOING TO MEET IN BAR 91.

grimly fiendish, Friday, 19 October 2007 07:52 (sixteen years ago) link

(because if we do go to mono, ailsa will spend all night knacking my nads about it, and i really don't want that.)

grimly fiendish, Friday, 19 October 2007 07:52 (sixteen years ago) link

i will be there at 6pm.

grimly fiendish, Friday, 19 October 2007 07:53 (sixteen years ago) link

I said it's fine. I haven't been to Mono in ages anyhow. Anyway, any pub is basically OK with the right people in it.

ailsa, Friday, 19 October 2007 09:46 (sixteen years ago) link

THIS IS NOT HELPING US REACH CONSENSUS.

BAR 91?

grimly fiendish, Friday, 19 October 2007 12:00 (sixteen years ago) link

It's not a Glasgow FAP thread if there's consensus, FFS.

ailsa, Friday, 19 October 2007 12:01 (sixteen years ago) link

i know. but a man can dream.

grimly fiendish, Friday, 19 October 2007 12:05 (sixteen years ago) link

"to dream the impossible dream" :-)

ailsa, Friday, 19 October 2007 12:06 (sixteen years ago) link

hahahahahah :)

hmm, wonder if they'll play that? wow.

anyway. my quest tomorrow will be to drink beer and i think bar 91 should be the place, yo.

grimly fiendish, Friday, 19 October 2007 12:10 (sixteen years ago) link

hmm, wonder if they'll play that? wow.

I can answer this if you want spoilers?

energy flash gordon, Friday, 19 October 2007 15:56 (sixteen years ago) link

anyway someone text a definite time and location to 07942691272 sometime! where is Bar 91?

energy flash gordon, Friday, 19 October 2007 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Yes! I mean no! I...oh, go on then.

Dude, don't put your phone number on the internets (though guess grimly can use his modding powers to take it back down).

Bar 91 is on Candleriggs in the Merchant City, quite near the Barrowlands. Though Andrew has just thrown up the possibility of the 13th Note since he has friends playing there. OH NOES WHAT TO DO.

ailsa, Friday, 19 October 2007 16:03 (sixteen years ago) link

The number's only relevant for the three weeks I'm in the UK, I'm not mega-panicked.

YES THEY WILL (one of three covers in the Glasgow set, you can probably guess the other two)

energy flash gordon, Friday, 19 October 2007 16:09 (sixteen years ago) link

EXCITED!!

ailsa, Friday, 19 October 2007 16:12 (sixteen years ago) link

see you all in Bar 91 then. or Mono. or the 13th Note.

Ward Fowler, Friday, 19 October 2007 20:34 (sixteen years ago) link

I've still got your phone number, Ward, if it's the same number you had at ATP in December. Think everyone going to the pub has mine. Can someone reach a fucking consensus. I'm going to Bar 91, if that helps.

ailsa, Saturday, 20 October 2007 10:02 (sixteen years ago) link

I'll be in Bar 91 from 6pm whatever you fuckers decide.

Madchen, Saturday, 20 October 2007 10:29 (sixteen years ago) link

me too. bar 91. hurrah!

though guess grimly can use his modding powers to take it back down

you wot? ain't no modding powers here. i had them on the sandbox, right enough, but never on real-ILX.

for which you should all be v grateful.

grimly fiendish, Saturday, 20 October 2007 10:52 (sixteen years ago) link

alright, Bar 91. Ward if yr going to be out before 6 then text me as above!

energy flash gordon, Saturday, 20 October 2007 14:22 (sixteen years ago) link

Me and Andrew are heading into Glasgow just now. Will be in Bar 91 for 6, though could be earlier if needed. Text me if any changes of plan.

ailsa, Saturday, 20 October 2007 14:44 (sixteen years ago) link

apols

RJG, Saturday, 20 October 2007 14:57 (sixteen years ago) link

fantastic night. i am suffering slightly for it today. andrew, chris: superb to meet you.

carter for life!

grimly fiendish, Sunday, 21 October 2007 12:03 (sixteen years ago) link

so glad i came out last night, had a superb time too - glasgow ilxors always make ppl feel welcome, and it was wicked to meet new ppl, just sorry i didn't get a chance to talk to chris and hayley for longer.
not being much of a boozehound i am v. much feeling the effects of four pints of blanc drunk rather too quickly, apols if i got slightly incoherent/sweary - today i'm staying in feeling sorry for my poor aching head

EVERYBODY SHOULD COME TO BOREDOMS AT THE ARCHES ON TUESDAY

Ward Fowler, Sunday, 21 October 2007 12:18 (sixteen years ago) link

i will very much try to do that.

apols if i got slightly incoherent/sweary

what, you turned into me? brilliant!

grimly fiendish, Sunday, 21 October 2007 12:23 (sixteen years ago) link

I would very much like that also, but I think I'm broken. Will attempt to recover for monkeyfap next week. Top night, all.

ailsa, Sunday, 21 October 2007 15:51 (sixteen years ago) link

shame to miss Ward Fowler

RJG, Sunday, 21 October 2007 15:59 (sixteen years ago) link

i will be boredoms

jed_, Sunday, 21 October 2007 20:49 (sixteen years ago) link

jed_, Sunday, 21 October 2007 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link

We all missed him!

stet, Sunday, 21 October 2007 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link

Also great to meet you Chris and Andrew. I hope the fat men jumped.

stet, Sunday, 21 October 2007 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't know now

RJG, Sunday, 21 October 2007 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link

i didn't go to the boredoms. didn't get out of work till 9pm. now i feel i should have made the effort.
