Glasgow (well, the Renfrew division) will be going to the pub tomorrow night. Do you fancy some united-across-the-Old-Firm-divide football watching, Ally (and anyone else?). It was so much fun the last time we watched an Old Firm game together...

my friend had a D&G t shirt that said "Deluze and Guattari" under it rather than "Dolce and Gabbana".

I wish I'd been around a few posts ago to make an ill-thought out "don't be saussure" joke at cozen. Oh well, next time.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:00 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sure I don't want one.

there's a thread around, with a string of posts with puns on intellectuals' names.

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry Ailsa, didn't watch the game in the end. You'll be glad I missed the opportunity.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 11 November 2004 01:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Just mentioned that on the thread started by the amusingly named Billy Mason!

goodness nick, 'the boiler', what a horrible song.

― cºzen (Cozen), Monday, 15 November 2004 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I had the delightful experience of hearing Isobel Campbell ~~wheeze~~ sing two songs last night.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 15 November 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't have a lot of experience.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 15 November 2004 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Lay it on us, Madchen, preferably via the medium of Sinister.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 15 November 2004 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

It was as expected. She has very long hair now.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Where do you see such things? How do you know about such things? If I had known, I would have been there with a waterpistol and a pile of rotten tomatoes or something.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 November 2004 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Poor Isobel. Always misunderstood.

Maybe you're all just jealous.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 15 November 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't know. She just....appeared. She is fairly awful but obviously we would all still like to sleep with her, anyway.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

In your flat? In the street? Out of a magic lamp?

I don't want to sleep with her.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 November 2004 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, you do.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I wouldn't fit in the bed beside her arse for a start. *chortle*

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 November 2004 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I would get a bigger bed.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

You are weird. I don't want to sleep with Isobel Campbell. Secretly or otherwise.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 November 2004 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe she wants to sleep with you. Are you coming to my birthday party?

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Where is your birthday party? Is it on your birthday? Do I have to sleep with Isobel Campbell?

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 November 2004 22:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd do it in my flat, in the street or out of a magic lamp.

Does this answer, everything?

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:25 (twenty-one years ago)

WOWEE!

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:26 (twenty-one years ago)

There's still the question of whether or not that date is your birthday or not, and whether Ailsa has to sleep with Isobel.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

No and no.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Ow, and wow, in equal measures. Yes, thank you. I may be there. Is it really five years since the legendary one?

xpost -it's not his birthday, and I'm not sleeping with Isobel. Pervert :)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:29 (twenty-one years ago)

being the queen, that he is, his real birthday is a private affair, a couple of days after (it is not on the weekend, so no-one will care).

ailsa doesn't.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:30 (twenty-one years ago)

It wasn't my question! It was yours!

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:31 (twenty-one years ago)

RJG will not be there, not on my birthday, so it's OK for evryone to come.

RJG may be there. He is raising money, though.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I am confused.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Isobel Campbell will not be there. Does that make things clearer?

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I will be there, and I will make an extra effort to stay up past 12.

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:37 (twenty-one years ago)

No. Will RJG be there? He both is, and isn't, according to you. Or is he? There are too many "not"s in that sentence. (xpost)

On a totally unrelated note, if Andy Walker mentions the totally-made-up-word "bouncebackability" one more time on Scotsport just now, I will scream. Can one of you run down the road to the STV studios and hit him for me?

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:39 (twenty-one years ago)

My appearance at your birthday is not contingent on RJG's being there, or not, incidentally I just like to know these things.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember when Andy Walker said he "rose like a salmon". Why does that stick in my mind?

I think RJG will be there.

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:41 (twenty-one years ago)

OK. RJG may be there for some, but not all, of the time.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Your search - "andy walker" "like a salmon" - did not match any documents

I'm going to ask my dad if this is an imagined memory.

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I think this phrase is quite commonly used.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

you may be shotts of me, for the evening.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

You're going to jail?

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I just googled "rose like a salmon". The first quote is "Hartson rose like a salmon - one which had eaten another salmon for its dinner at half past two ". It seems to be quite a common phrase amongst football reporters.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think I'm going to jail but they haven't told me, yet.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:56 (twenty-one years ago)

This Australian bloke Jamesy I used to work with once got a taxi from Dunoon to Shotts. He was a bagpiper and was at the bagpipe championships or something. It cost him 125 quid.

Thing is, someone I know was in a taxi the following week and the taxi driver was going on about this daft bastard who'd got a taxi from Dunoon to Shotts.

There was another unusual incident where Jamesy got in a taxi and discovered the driver was wearing his jacket that had been nicked a few weeks earlier. He must've had a thing about taxis.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 15 November 2004 23:59 (twenty-one years ago)

£125? WTF? Was it a helicopter taxi or something? Or are Australians just gullible?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:02 (twenty-one years ago)

He was a bit of a dafty at times. He couldn't get any transport out or anywhere to sleep. I reckon I would just have walked around all night. I t was the middle of summer.

Does sound a bit over the top doesn't it. We've had a taxi from Glasgow to Edinburgh before for 40 quid, which was actually cheaper than the train (with four of us), and door to door.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:05 (twenty-one years ago)

is this the longest thread on ilx yet?

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Was the meter running while the cab was on the ferry? Or did the taxi go the long way round? Either way, £125?! For a taxi?!
