I'll let you know if there's another binmen's strike.

The weird thing about the UK is there aren't big abandoned sections of city. There are huge abandoned sections of countryside but that's different I guess.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I think maybe there were more abandoned sections of cities a decade or so ago, but pressure on property has made it too valuable to leave abandoned.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

If you want a stink of rotting refuse, I recommend the section of Sauchiehall St., west of Charing Cross, early on a Sunday morning.

Are you referring to Cook's dirty linen again?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Sadly, I think the stale beer, rotting carry outs and piss trump even Cook for stench.

he won't be on holiday for ever, you know.

"abandoned warehouses"
go to the legendary warehouse in shef. there is a brass foundry next door which starts up at 6am and makes the floor bounce rhythmically. allen st.

"UK is there aren't big abandoned sections of city"
again, sheffield proves this fairly, if not very wrong. mazes of dead factories and warehouses, also cf. those whole rds of abandoned terraces in liverpool, newcastle etc.

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 16:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I was going to say, last time I was in Liverpool they still seemed to be very much in evidence, but that was like, ten years ago, so I thought things might have changed. Never been to Newcastle.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Sheffield actually exists?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

yes. it has a weird new-ish musical arts centre kind of thing, at which i got ill from too much bombay hotmix.

what is happening tonight, glasgow?

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry about tonight (I guess I am unrealiable, cathy :/ ). my leg is all dressed & clean now, though.

good news, too: I found a job I actually like (via a v.v. kind friend)!

I'm definitely still up fr sons & daughters (or whoever it is that plays on saturday) and siciliano.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

ugh. my plans to keep trying glasgow and go 2 the oxfam benefit failed by me going for a nap and waking up 7 hours later. now i'm miserable, nocturnal and bored. internet scrabble til 6 in the morning?

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I found a tap to get some juice out of your booty, Cozen. It was next to the corn holders at the mall.

― Carey (Carey), Thursday, 20 May 2004 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not sure... what you mean.

siciliano: 7pm?!

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 23 May 2004 12:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it? I guess it's a theatre. Are you going or not?

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 23 May 2004 12:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I am going. provided it hasn't sold out.

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 23 May 2004 12:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Go see Multplies and Sons and Daughters.

never seen ot heard Multiplies, but i can vouch for Sons & Daughters. Saw them supporting Franz Ferdinand and they were great.

(wonder if they took their name from the Ozzie soap of yore?)

― MarkH (MarkH), Sunday, 23 May 2004 12:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I got my ticket in advance.

Sons & Daughters were great again last night, but they cheekily claimed that it was their first headlining gig. What about the Winchester Club a year ago, you rotters?

Pro Forma were pretty good too.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 23 May 2004 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I tried to go to the S&D &c. gig but foolishly hadn't bought my ticket in advance. So I just hung about in Nice and Sleazy's (incidentally: why is it so unacceptable to call it Nice and Sleazy in my head? why do i need to pluralise/use the saxon generative when speaking of it?) and pretended I was a scenester. Then my night went downhill due to a lack of momentum.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 24 May 2004 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I just went outside for a cigarette. There was an amazing pink cloud in the sky, perfect against the blue. Tom Recchion's Gentlewomanly Grace randomly came on my iPod. It was a beautiful moment. I love Glasgow.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw that one.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 24 May 2004 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes! (or stop insulting me every time I go away).

(I take a piece of you, with me).

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 24 May 2004 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick, you shouldn't smoke. What are 'Glasgow kisses'?

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:30 (twenty-two years ago)

a Glasgow kiss is a headbutt.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I know, Mary.

I bumped into Carey and Tracy on the way home from Sleazy's on Saturday and went to the art school with them. The art school was a bit rubbish but it was a nice thing to have happened.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:40 (twenty-two years ago)

My hot water has gone again.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 07:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Somebody is coming to fix it...

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 07:30 (twenty-two years ago)

...NEXT TUESDAY. If Renfrew Street doesn't object, I might come and stay.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 07:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, my credit card, which I've had for just over a month, has already been frauded for £400.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 07:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, yeah. I'll pay you back.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 08:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't know you were in Cannes on 7th May. Ponce.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 09:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I was wowing the paparazzi and needed some new swimwear.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I am filling in an application form fr the mod and they want info on my mum and dad?!

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 11:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, they do that. I started applying for a job at GCHQ once and got put off when I found that they take 6 months to complete security check.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 11:50 (twenty-two years ago)

The applications for jobs with the police are possibly worse than the MOD ones. The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act doesn't apply to them so you are expected to list every possible crime you were _falsely_ accused of/charged with/questioned about. You also need to give names and addresses of all immediate family members so that their records can be checked.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

this is insania gone mad. I don't have a spouse/partner and anyway leave her alone!

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 12:01 (twenty-two years ago)

T0MB0T to thread, obv...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 12:02 (twenty-two years ago)

haha the last thing I can remember is asking colin if I offended him. I've no idea why I was asking that.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 29 May 2004 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

not a clue, i can't remember much. i put on my jeans to go out and saw that i had a circle of black dirt on the knee = flashback to spinning on the floor. oh dear.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 29 May 2004 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I am now scared of my flatmate. I am an idiot. You just disappared, cozen!

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

On the plus side, I'm impressed that I half-remember the names of two tracks I asked the DJ about - one by The Test and one by Squarepusher. When I say 'half-remember' I mean I have no idea of the actual titles and nothing on discogs.com is ringing any bells. Ah well.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Or maybe it was Superpitcher - I have no idea.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

It's good you're not dead, cozen. That would have made today even more difficult.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

squarepusher - extremely unlikely.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 29 May 2004 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I realised that after I posted it. I am dumb.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

i cant remember any suprpitcher from last night but i can't remember much actually. ask on http://www.optimo.co.uk/echatio/forum.php?id=1 twitch usually answers any playlist queries.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 29 May 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Ta.

We should do it again, sometime. I seem to remember that you were sick, colin. Are you OK today?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 29 May 2004 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

haha I remember that spinning on the floor!

I checked the front cover of the daily record, this morning: it's OK, I'm fine, not blue.

did they play psychometry? I'm sure I heard it.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 29 May 2004 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

strangely, I feel absolutely fine today.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 29 May 2004 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)
