Well done. Did you get your actuals looked at? If that is what they were called.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Thursday, 10 March 2005 13:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Congrats Madchen ;0)

I am dying of flu, or would otherwise be amenable to pub-going. Maybe tomorrow, or at the weekend, we could go out and drink some booze, if you want. But not today, as I am malingering away from work so shouldn't be venturing up town, even if I didn't feel like shite.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 10 March 2005 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

well done, madchen!

was the last time I saw you really when chris & vicky were up?!

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 10 March 2005 13:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I think so, Cozen.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 10 March 2005 13:30 (twenty-one years ago)

CCA, 6pm, Tonight.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 10 March 2005 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I will try!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 10 March 2005 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Boo. That's three invitations to the pub I've had today. No-one ever asks me to go anywhere, and now that I can't, they're all falling over themselves to get me to go out.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 10 March 2005 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Saturday Winchester?

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 10 March 2005 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I may be getting two whales in a ka, on friday, unfortunately.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 10 March 2005 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe, Madchen, depends if I shake off this flu. I asked the mister if he wanted to go to the CCA with you tonight, but he didn't fancy it on the grounds that "it's miles away". Which, of course, it isn't. What he should have said was "I'm a lazy git".

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 10 March 2005 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

baby.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 10 March 2005 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

the CCA isn't miles away, if you are me, but it is, if you are a lot of people.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 10 March 2005 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

and thanks, cook.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 10 March 2005 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

But Neil isn't miles away, he's just the other side of George Square. Which is maybe a mile away at most. I would have walked that far to buy Madchen a G&T. But then I'm not a lazy git :)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 10 March 2005 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, he is a lazy git!!!!!!!!!!!!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 10 March 2005 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Lucky for us lazy gits the pub is next to our house.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 10 March 2005 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Was it your idea to go there, by any chance?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 10 March 2005 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I just got this e-mail:

No.

That is strange. But most emails these days are.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 10 March 2005 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

tunnels under london.

has anyone walked the tunnels under glasgow?

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 11 March 2005 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I know some people who went through, or part way through, the one under Kelvingrove Park. One of them posts here occasionally, so hold on to your hollyhocks.

Personally, I wouldn't dare.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 11 March 2005 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

there are tunnels? take me there

― dahlin, Saturday, 12 March 2005 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

hidden glasgow.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 12 March 2005 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

what are you doing online cozen? shouldn't you be out discovering glasgow r something?

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 12 March 2005 13:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I like how there is a thread on that site's forum where people are weeping and wailing over the downfall of the English language, yet the description of Hampden on the site contains the phrase "it has went through some changes".

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 March 2005 13:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I am biding time, until the winchester, and reading about tunnels & bunkers.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 12 March 2005 13:32 (twenty-one years ago)

isn't that just a sewer? hmmmm....
ahhh doocots... i once wrote about the doocots of moray. fascinating.
i once lived near a doocot in maryhill. i always wondered what went on in there...

"The often misunderstood doo-cot is used in a complex game of pigeon "kidnap". Many people still believe the doo-cot is the inner city equivalent of the suburban pigeon loft. This could not be further from the truth.

The concept: let one bird out to bring a neighbour's bird back to your doo-cot. On entering the doo-cot, the neighbours bird is captured and becomes the property of the capturer.

Techniques: All sorts of techniques are used, of which seduction is one of the most common.
A female in a particularly attractive condition seduces another person's amorous male back to her loft or to his, depending which one wins.
If seduction doesn't work, then aggressive males will bully another bird back to their doo-cot, often with heavy blows from the leading edge of their wings."

sounds about right...

Americans keep trying to kill this thread.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

NO SURRENDER

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

NEVER

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

OH WELL THEN

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I see Burton beat Woking, then.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:09 (twenty-one years ago)

What do you care?

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:09 (twenty-one years ago)

do the english hate the scots?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes. That is why the English keep voting the Scottish accent as the world's sexiest accent.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:24 (twenty-one years ago)

you'd think they'd do something more hurtful.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

it's a curse and a burden.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

do the scots hate the english?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

That's a bit generalised (I like Madchen, so, no)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:13 (twenty-one years ago)

do the english hate the germans?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I was disappointed to learn last night that a team of nitwits from Edinburgh University had beaten the team from Glasgow University some weeks previous.

I think Scotland is a charming region, and its inhabitants of great anthropological interest.

I sometimes go to Burton, Madchen, when I can't get out of it. I thought you knew. A bit of lighthearted banter is all I ever get out of it. Today I have been subtitling a video with footage of a bus on its way to Burton. I nearly announced it to everyone.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I had no idea about the Burton Connection (it's like French Connection, but upstairs from Dorothy Perkins). Germany has this nice icecream thing called Spaghettieis, so I quite like it there.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I knew two of the Glasgow nitwits!! The Edinburgh team captain was unbearable.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

she took it a bit forfar.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

She was pretty, but not terribly bright. I once knew all of a Glasgow team (just after I graduated - I think it was the year they brought back UC) - they were totally dreadful and an affront to such a fine academic institution.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Balliol could win it.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Back in my day, the team was stuffed full of GU bigwigs.

I think the Edinburgh captain might have appeared brighter if Paxman hadn't been ribbing her all the time. I didn't fancy her much though. The mysterious lady above her was more my type.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

PJ OTM.

both of the captains had expressions, that they kept doing, that I had a hard time being bothered to try to believe.

balliol(?)'s was very "oh, well, I don't mind" and the edinburgh one (emily drayson, I remember, for some reason) was a bit "hehehehe!".

I bet it was nerves, though, and doubt any of my expressions would hold up, in a similar situation.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:47 (twenty-one years ago)

The Glasgow team I knew were the clique from the student paper. They probably thought they were bigwigs, but, er, they weren't.
