he used my 'no wonder' line.

I'm going to bed. Will probably see one or both of you tomorrow. And I'll expect pancakes.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 00:06 (9 years ago) Permalink

I'll expect fireworks.

I got phone-interviewed by a lovely woman from the glasgow herald today re: blogs.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 18:41 (9 years ago) Permalink

who was that?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 18:51 (9 years ago) Permalink

Ab1g4il W1ld. she had a very nice voice.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 18:53 (9 years ago) Permalink

do you know her?

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 18:54 (9 years ago) Permalink

Well, I know who she is. I like her writing.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 18:54 (9 years ago) Permalink

I was talking to Spiers again early, and I sent your love.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 18:55 (9 years ago) Permalink

I hope she says nice things about me.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 18:56 (9 years ago) Permalink

I hope everyone says nice things about me.

I once saw Graham Spiers staggering drunkenly down Byres Road, having just left Cookie to go for a taxi. It was a beautiful sight and I wish he could have seen it.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 18:57 (9 years ago) Permalink

There was a Cookie-Spiers summit?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 18:59 (9 years ago) Permalink

I had left Cook and I wished he could have seen it. I thought that may have implied he didn't.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:00 (9 years ago) Permalink

cook could beat up spiers.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:01 (9 years ago) Permalink

Certainly in the state spiers was in that night . . . (someone said somewhere else that was the right way to do ellipses? It looks silly)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:02 (9 years ago) Permalink

Yeah, ignore them, they were talking shite.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:03 (9 years ago) Permalink

I believe amateurist.

. . .

it looks horrible though.

she said 'you don't have a glaswegian accent.' and I said 'yeah but I have a scottish accent.' and she said 'do you?!' now I'm saying 'what?!' she was very nice though, I think I was a little rude at one time but I didn't mean it. I normally feel uncomfortable on the phone.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:08 (9 years ago) Permalink

She was clearly hitting on you.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:09 (9 years ago) Permalink

I hate all of you.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:10 (9 years ago) Permalink

get some work done.

I saw paul ross, outside lauder's, today.

wait a minute.

The teaser on the the front page reads 'BLOGGERS WILD: OBSESSIVE LOSERS OR INTERNET CHRONICLERS?'.

haha! the first one!

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 09:37 (9 years ago) Permalink

the article is ok. apart from the bit where she says I'm a frustrated writer which is plainly untrue. other than that I'm just generally frustrated by the world, that is. not specifically as a writer.

She is just trying to paint you as difficult and dark. It is part of her fantasy.

She writes well but seems a little callous. I covet her name, though!

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 09:52 (9 years ago) Permalink

She is young and bitchy, which is kind of refreshing in the Herald.

cozen, where does the GH article say that you. specifically, are a frustrated writer?

I may be going to Glasgow on Monday as it happens!

― zebedee (zebedee), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 11:52 (9 years ago) Permalink

'according to several online historians, DH, a frustrated writer, could have...' haha! yeah this article wd have been more interesting as 'what ppl take from blogs' not what 'blog writers are and do' which is kinda tired. I'm v. disappointed.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 12:05 (9 years ago) Permalink

if anything an 'idiot's point' of the blog wd be cease such frustration.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 12:06 (9 years ago) Permalink

This is the proper feature in the Herald about weblogs so I guess it's not tired for Herald readers (the first mention of the word in there came a year after I'd given mine up!)

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 12:12 (9 years ago) Permalink

Me, since i missed you the last time I was up.

The Captain's Rest is a funny wee pub. I used to live across the road from it. I think I have been to some birthday parties there.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:58 (9 years ago) Permalink

Glasgow, I've missed you. just arrived for a three day conferencel at SECC and staying across the road at the Campanile. currently sitting in the hotel bar and wondering whether a restaurant next door which boasts Japanese, Thai and Chinese cuisine via a large neon sign could possibly be any good

― Grandpont Genie, Sunday, 25 March 2012 21:23 (1 year ago) Permalink

It is, actually!

Have any Glaswegians seen Tavernier's Death Watch. Don't think I've ever seen a city photographed on film so lovingly well as this.

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 12:31 (11 months ago) Permalink

The first shot of the cemetery is one for all time.

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 12:31 (11 months ago) Permalink

saw it at the glasgow film theater last week :-) am always keen to catch old film of my adopted hometown, and yes, loved the dusky, twilight quality to many of the images. it was interesting to see that parts of the city centre have hardly changed in thirty years - i immediately recognised st vincents street, where i work. that cemetery is the necropolis, which is a pretty photogenic place (and about ten minutes away from my flat); it also turns up in The Angels' Share funnily enough, along with other parts of the East End (Mark S wrote a v gd review of the Loach for S&S, btw)

― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 12:45 (11 months ago) Permalink

Interested in The Angels' Share - a Ken Loach comedy, don't think I've seen one..

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 22:43 (11 months ago) Permalink

I loved it.

― Madchen, Thursday, 14 June 2012 05:57 (11 months ago) Permalink

hi madchen!

the angels's share is v v funny in places, but one of the gd things abt it is the way that loach complicates the characters - there's a really moving and brilliantly acted scene where the lead guy is confronted with the effect of his violent behaviour. i can understand why they're billing it as 'the scottish full monty' on the posters, but of course it's not really v helpful or accurate to think of it in that way

― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 14 June 2012 08:02 (11 months ago) Permalink

Yes, that scene was superb.
