try glasgow more

the roads round central station are lethal, this morning

worried that my train down south tomorrow won't be running :-(

My sister & I are going to drive down to Liverpool on Xmas Eve, leaving about 11am. Where are you heading?

(She'd probably have a hissy fit at me offering lifts to internet peeps, but screw it, I'm serious if it did happen to fit.)

thank you v. much for yr very kind offer, k - my train journey goes glasgow>birmingham, birmingham>banbury, am due to catch the first train out of central station at 5.50am! my email add = my internet name (no spaces) at gmail.com, if you have a mobe i can ring on you on, should i need to head down south by other means (i could prob get picked up in Liverpool by my sister, if needs be)

Hey Krakow sorry to hear about your accident. Hope it gets better soon. Have a safe journey tomorrow, and ward fowler and anyone else travelling.

No worries, just sent you a wee email Ward.

Thanks for the kind thoughts too Pfunk, ailsa, Ward, Jim et al. I got a much better sleep last night after dosing on pain killers just before bed and strategically placing a spare pillow as arm rest, so that's helped the mood a lot.

Not looking forward to having to drop into work now to collect some presents that I'd left there unfortunately. Sure to be awkward and guilt inducing.

thanks krakow, i can't check my email until this evening - meant to say that obv i will pay for petrol, should the need arise (I'm hoping for a snow free day today, so that there is a train service tomorrow...fingers crossed)

and thanks for yr gd wishes, pfunk - a safe and happy xmas to all glasgow ilxors

I know it's a bit far off, but it looks like I'll be through in Glasgow to see Wilco in september.
I'll bump the thread nearer the time but it would be nice to meet up.

Yes, do bump nearer time, would be good to finally meet up.

ok hailstones here. huh?

short lived but pretty hailly

glad i missed that; i'm not long in from a wee walk down Glasgow's wanky west-end.

It's just hitting Dennistoun now.

P.S. SLAYER tonight!

Nina Nastasia tonight

lol d.tr\/mp is a total fan-dan; really wish I'd saved those e-mails from his legal team I saw (at DundW) that explicitly said their aim ws to marginalise and force out the maverick landowners on the estate

SSSLLLAAAYYYEEERRR!!!

rangda on monday see you all there

Indeed; I'll be there. We should actually say hello for once...

anyone for some potted hough?

What were the flying ants all about?

it was a thing today

oh man yesterday i was at the forge and these fuckin things were everywhere, flying into people's hair and clothes, it really was like the first plague of the apocalypse...bring back the midges

I was in Edinburgh yesterday, and they were a thing over there as well.

Flying ant day. Pavements were crawling, too

I'm on t'other side of the country but lately we've had a plague of aphids the likes of which ye've never seen (or I've never seen, at least). A real fog of them. I'd get indoors and have to brush literally twenty off of myself. Calmed down a bit now, though.

leave glasgow for 3 days and you miss the flying ant plague, typical!

I moved after flying ant day in London and before flying ant day in Glasgow. Result!

Madchen = ant repellent in human form. Please come back!

dear glasgow

I will be back in you briefly, probably, on the 5th and 6th of September. anyone FAP on Sunday evening (this will be colliding with other internet friends again, though), even kicking through to nOtptimo? or a lunch/after work pint on the Monday? grimly, Ward, I'm looking at you.

love, kit

I'm down for that!

i mean up for it.

I have not seen various Glasgow peeps in approximately forever, so a beer could be added to my not-exactly-hectic social schedule, I'm sure.

A full on Glasgow FAP would be great, so my vote wld be for the Monday after work, but can do Sunday too

Monday after work better for me as well. Can I issue a pre-emptive "not Mono" strike? Somewhere near Central would be easier for me, because I am (1) selfish and (2) lazy. How busy does Stereo get on a Monday post-work?

intense mono hate from me also. stereo good. sunday is fine by me - i may also go to Optinot, i haven't been yet.

Actually, we've had a couple of decent evenings in the Pot Still, and the seating is comfier and more conducive to chatting than in Stereo, if that's any help at all?

hooray!

on Monday I'm prrrrrobably dashing to Fever Ray, so somewhere close to Sauchiehall St would be good, if that helps narrow it down.

i'll probably meet you on the sunday if that's okay. if you are going off to a gig on monday you'll have to leave about 8.00, which is pretty early.

yah I know, hence weighting it to Sunday. if the support's rubbish it gives a little leeway though, or if some people finish work at 5 there's some decent time.

if my other peeps work out a Sunday meeting place I'll post it here - probably near the station, cos one bloke's coming through from Edinburgh, but hopefully not the festering Wetherspoons right by the Sub Club.

if that's okay

it shall be a delight to meet and to rave with you.

I'd recommend MacSorley's if you're looking for something near the train station and the Sub Club.

there's a pub near the sub club that's pretty good, good music policy, DJs sometimes.. can't remember the name. it may even be owned by the subbie?

Tracer, that's McSorley's.

great sic, see you sunday. i think i remember from the optimo thread that krakow was up for a no-ptimo too.

That looks decent! Ta. (xpost)

And ailsa's suggestion of the Pot Still seems convenient enough for the ABC, so if it'll turn into cat-herding otherwise waiting for more suggestions, let's at least lean toward that for the Monday?

and yes, krakow was keen to enter the mysterious world of the "night-club."

woOo

Woo, Glasgow FAP!

(I have just looked at Facebook and today's recommendation of a thing I might like is "Mono Cafe Bar")

The support for Fever Ray is Zola Jesus so most definitely should be seen. I will be there also.

I am indeed up for Notptimo.

Into a general FAP at some point as well. I put a whisky-drinkers vote in for the Pot Still. If you don't like Mono then going to Stereo makes zero sense to me.
