The vale is alright iirc.

I like the Vale, but (1) don't see it as fap-friendly and (2) doesn't it get quite busy before Celtic games? It is approx 10000000000 x better than the shithole next door.

How about Heavenly? I can take an hour & that's not far at all; I'm a fast walker.

I'm easy though, anything within that kind of distance would suit me. I'm happy at Wetherspoons nowadays and would be interested to try the Vale if it weren't too busy. As long as I know in the morning to give my fellow workmate friend warning ahead of time so we can arrange for him to get his lunch at a decent time, I can take a break pretty much whenever.

Vale is fine by me if fine with others - v handy for your work and v handy for onward travel to football. Guess being in early doors will secure seats.
― ailsa, Saturday, 4 February 2012 20:57 (1 year ago) Permalink
Cool. It would indeed be super handy. Not somewhere I would ever think to go myself.

Given the random and unexpected success of fappage in the Alpen Lodge, I'm all for random odd pubs.

Oh god, that time in the Alpen Lodge when it played all the tracks we would have on the jukebox for free.

And then played JAMC even though it wasn't on the jukebox.

unfortunately i have an absolute ton of freelance work to do this weekend, subbing an old ppl's magazine, so i can't come out to play - but would still like to 'do' parkhead, at some point.

We go into Queen Street so g_d only knows where we'll end up if it goes off.
Ok. If Glasgow is blown up then Alpen Lodge. We all know where it is. I will still aim off to be wherever at about 12. For those who haven't met me before I will be wearing a grey Circle (the Finnish band) t-shirt and/or a Neurosis hoodie.
Ailsa , does your number still end FOUR ZERO? I will text you if it does.
― Aunt Acid and the Gaviscons (aldo), Friday, 10 February 2012 22:47 (1 year ago) Permalink
aldo, we'd better co-ordinate our Circle t-shirt choice! NWOFHM is all that I wear!
― brain (krakow), Friday, 10 February 2012 22:50 (1 year ago) Permalink
Aldo, no, it doesn't. email me or else get my number off onimo if you're in touch with him.
― ailsa, Friday, 10 February 2012 22:56 (1 year ago) Permalink
I will wear the one from last autumn with the round logo that you can't make out which band it's for. Which kind of makes my last post redundant to everyone except you. NWOFHM xpost

Shifted just after I asked for him to be shifted. Still on for the Vale then, chaps?

What time is anyone turning up?
― brain (krakow), Saturday, 11 February 2012 08:36 (1 year ago) Permalink
I'm heading there for about 12.

Cool, I think Ailsa mentioned the same. That should suit me, but you know where I am, if I don't appear!
I'll pick out a different Circle t-shirt just now...
― brain (krakow), Saturday, 11 February 2012 08:50 (1 year ago) Permalink
I'll be there around 12 as well.

Good times. Cheap beer, having to obtain a key to another level to go to the ladies, being the only woman in a packed pub. Actually genuinely quite liked it! Good to catch up with aldo and krakow.
Vague plans were made for an assault on music quizzes. Anyone else up for this?
― ailsa, Saturday, 11 February 2012 18:05 (1 year ago) Permalink
I really liked the Vale too! It was good to meet you for the first time aldo and to catch you again a bit more properly ailsa. I hope that you had a good rest of the afternoon. It made a really nice change for a Saturday lunchtime for me. Up for an assault on various music quizzes...

Forgot to show you my Circle t-shirt aldo, I was wearing the red fist...
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

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.
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.
