Let's try to meet up for a pint.
The Harry Potter shop on Big Bus Street replaced the "Stuff" shop.
It's called something like "The Boy Wizard Store" so it mat be selling unofficial Potter tat.

A failed organisation of drinks was where my mind was going too. Would you be up for it Jim and have time, if it happened while you're around?
― brain (krakow), Sunday, 2 September 2018 10:17 (five years ago) link
so it may be selling unofficial Potter tat.
― Non, je ned raggette rien (onimo), Sunday, September 2, 2018 1:01 AM
Surely that's a lawsuit waiting to happen?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 2 September 2018 10:29 (five years ago) link
It is an unofficial Potter emporium selling officially licensed Potter product (and a smattering of non-Potter tat).

Cant believe one book/film series can support a whole shop. We'll see how long it lasts.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 2 September 2018 19:12 (five years ago) link
It's supporting (at least) two in Edinburgh!

I think I found it, looks like a really cool house. Do you know when it dates from?
― brain (krakow), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 09:38 (five years ago) link
telecaster in the front room, hardwood floor? if so that's ours, yeah. dates from about 1890 or so - i think it was an old shipbuilder's house
gonna miss it tbh, it's been a great home but we just need more space now we have a baby
― Burt Bacharachman-Turner Overdrive Like Jehuman League (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 09:42 (five years ago) link
Yep, that's the one I was thinking. Looks lovely, really interesting. I guess it'll be a popular sell as it's quite unusual? How's the search for a new place going?
― brain (krakow), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 10:27 (five years ago) link
we've been really surprised by how much interest we've had - it went on the market on thursday last week and we ended up with 17 viewing requests by saturday. we're probably going to be going to a closing date on friday this week *gulp*
we've got our eye on a place in cambuslang whose current owners turned down our first offer because we hadn't sold ours. off to see it again on saturday, hopefully with a sold house as a negotiating too
― Burt Bacharachman-Turner Overdrive Like Jehuman League (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 10:42 (five years ago) link
negotiating tool that is
― Burt Bacharachman-Turner Overdrive Like Jehuman League (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 10:43 (five years ago) link
Ooh, nice house. Always love those when I drive past them. Would like (would also be exceptionally handy for work). Not really in a position to sell and move though, just idly dreaming.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 13:28 (five years ago) link
Three beds and you need more space? God I miss Glasgow sometimes
― stet, Tuesday, 9 October 2018 13:44 (five years ago) link
come back and buy our house imo

Clubs can now stay open until 4am! It's about goddamn time

I've only been clubbing about five times this year but still, it's the principle of the thing

The Manchester clubs open to 6am on occasion has been a revelation since I moved down here. Only a good thing.
― I like Poeltls (fionnland), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 21:29 (five years ago) link
you don't realise how huge an impact it makes, finding yourself looking for a place to go at finishing time to carry on drinking and dancing only ends in disaster. I'd be more inclined to head home at 5/6am after clubbing all night, whereas if I'm out at 3am I'm easily tempted to head off to an afters and stay up til the next lunchtime

We do! I haven't been out much lately cos I just haven't seen that many nights that I'm interested in. Was at the Numbers thing at the art school last week and that was disappointing. I'm tempted by Objekt next week and Gesloten Cirkel later in the month though
― paolo, Thursday, 8 November 2018 19:58 (five years ago) link
How's things with you anyway?

Why was the numbers thing disappointing?
― brokenshire (jed_), Thursday, 8 November 2018 21:21 (five years ago) link
Just wasn't really feeling any of the DJs/live acts really. Perko was the first DJ on in the Vic Bar and was a competent enough warmer upper but nothing special. I've heard a few Klein tunes and been into them so was looking forward to her live set, it was OK but would have been better as home listening.
I know Batu's been making a bit of a name for himself recently but again his DJ set was OK but nothing special. Giant Swan and Helena Hauff banged out a bunch of big room industrial/acid techno, maybe I just wasn't in the mood but not really feeling it. Also it was crowded as fuck (only to be expected for a Numbers night really) and the fire alarm went off for about ten minutes early in the night so we all just stood around with the music off. Meh

Saturday 1st December at La Cheetah, you want to go? I'm a wee bit obsessed myself. Submit X is one of the best techno albums in I don't know how long
