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?!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I like them long.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess it probably went gone the long way round. Unless it was a boat taxi, like Thunder in Paradise with Hulk Hogan.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I would totally pay £125 for that!

http://www.mrbensons.co.uk/sl/l/3/S_V0031983.jpg

I am horrified to see that Thunder in Paradise had two sequels.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha!

Crime fighting specialized vehicles really were on their last legs at that point.

Thunder in Paradise 3 has replaced the one being blown up there with a teenyweeny little shitty boat.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I like it. The story's probably got a more human angle, rather than just concentrating on the technology. The poster is a design classic.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:20 (twenty-one years ago)

You just like it because there's a semi-naked woman on it.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha! On that note, I'm off to bed.

― KeithW (kmw), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Is the meter running on this thread?

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Is this the longest thread on ILX? Those Antipodeans keep diversifying into new threads, but we Glaswegians and interlopers just keep plodding along...

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 00:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Sally will be going. You might be able to shag her instead (nb. I haven't checked this with her)

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 08:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I have just had to sit through this whole thread.

― cºzen (Cozen), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 10:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Excuse me!!!!

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 12:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Sinister is aware.

Ailsa, would your other half be interested in a job teaching MS Office/ECDL to students and staff at this here university (city centre campus)? It's perm and the salary looks pretty good, although I don't know what he's on at the moment, plus 31 days holiday. The people I've met from that department are really nice, too.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 13:41 (twenty-one years ago)

akufen, this friday.

I bet cozen could even sleep, in cookie's bed!!!

I won't say he can, though.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooh, Madchen, he might. If you are still at work, can you email me the details? If not (like if you don't phone me) I'll speak to him when he gets home and I'll phone you.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't worry - got the details off the website. Looks good, he will be applying tonight. Thank you x

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

wow

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:06 (twenty-one years ago)

2000

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't believe it.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 00:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooh good, glad you found it. I did try to ring your mobile but I'm not even sure if it's still the right number. Good luck Mr Ailsa!

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 13:12 (twenty-one years ago)

akufen. board? breakfast? is it ticketed? see you around!

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

No one should be forced into my bed.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

it'll be just like in my dreams.

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 17:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I woke up, screaming.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)
