Ooh can I come? Even if RJG doesn't? I don't think I've missed a Eurovision since I was eight or nine, though I usually fall asleep before the end. I think I'm voting for Bosnia already.

Britain is still in isn't it? I thought we'd be relegated, but I vaguely remember being told that only no-money countries can be relegated, and we're exempt.

Turkey's song last year was brilliant.

I only meant I wasn't sure because I am not at full fitness (and one should be, really, for eurovision) and not because I don't want to be in madchen's house.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:16 (nineteen years ago) link

We're exempt because it was our idea. Of course you can come. Does that email address work? I'll send you my real life address.

RJG, have you been in my house before? I'm thinking the only people who've been in my house are Ally, N, family and non-Glasgow people. Oh, and my ex-boss.

I haven't been in your new house, no, even thought you have been, for a while. I like to leave my house as little as possible, as I'm sure many would testify.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Thanks, Madchen. Yes my email should work.

I think I'm getting pity fatigue, RJG.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:20 (nineteen years ago) link

that's a pity.

I should be putting these pictures on another thread.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:23 (nineteen years ago) link

No, it'll be OK when Scotland wins the competition & Eurovision tries Glasgow more because its hosting the event.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I just noticed there's a proper Eurovision thread. For Eurovision purposes Scotland is just an unimportant province of England. Although if it were ever to break away, maybe it could be the new Ireland.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:28 (nineteen years ago) link

or wales.

20 million can't be right.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:29 (nineteen years ago) link

20 million can't be wrong!

I just realised the first Eurovision I remember clearly was in 1991, when France and Sweden drew but Sweden won because they had more 12s. 1991 is also the first year I remember knowing what year it was. So I haven't missed one since I was 6.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:35 (nineteen years ago) link

I thought 1987 was a double year when i was young.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Stop making us feel ancient. I've emailed you Cathy.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:37 (nineteen years ago) link

so, what about that maryhill blowing up, again, eh?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:38 (nineteen years ago) link

A double year? I don't understand.

Pretty much everything I know about European geography I learnt from Eurovision...

Thanks Madchen :)

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:38 (nineteen years ago) link

i don't really understand what i was getting at either. some how i thought that some years just go on twice as long as others. it seemed sensible at the time.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:41 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm going to go home in a bit and have a look. G20 might possibly be Glasgow's unluckiest postcode.

thank you!

I bumped into cathy and RJG on the street (love yr visor!!!) and cathy said she would forward your details, madchen. so. see you on saturday. is it OK if I bring a girlfriend?

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 14 May 2004 00:41 (nineteen years ago) link

cathy has forwarded your details and all I can say, among other things, is: fucking hell, the buses?

love, david.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 14 May 2004 00:46 (nineteen years ago) link

I 'ate you, 'owie.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 14 May 2004 01:30 (nineteen years ago) link

whose girlfriend, btw?

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 14 May 2004 01:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Lots and lots of lovely buses. That is why everyone wants to live in Dennistoun. You could walk it - it's 25 minutes from George Square or probably 20 minutes for a bloke with a long stride.

Girlfried, eh? OK, as long as she doesn't puke on my flowerbeds.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 14 May 2004 07:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Do you think people will see my invite on friendster or should I send an email just in case?

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 14 May 2004 07:07 (nineteen years ago) link

sp.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 14 May 2004 07:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Sorry.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 14 May 2004 07:12 (nineteen years ago) link

she won't mind.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 14 May 2004 07:14 (nineteen years ago) link

1000

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 14 May 2004 10:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I wish!

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 14 May 2004 14:21 (nineteen years ago) link

I met dastoor on the street and he said something about the puking in the flowerbeds comment above and so I can only guess he's refraining from posting for some reason (over-pallyness? who knows) or other reasons.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 14 May 2004 16:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Just to remind anyone that steve and I shall be runnin' tings down at the Double-T pub Quiz tomorrow....

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 17 May 2004 17:12 (nineteen years ago) link

.....there is a question on James Joyce. perhaps....

How far is it from Manchester to Glasgow? Would the unsuspecting visitor benefit more from a sojourn to Edinburgh or to Glasgow, or indeed to Dundee?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 17 May 2004 19:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Ooh, pub quiz! Where?

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 17 May 2004 20:35 (nineteen years ago) link
