No, I'm not moving to Glasgow. I am just idly speculating on where I'd like to live if I did. But I'm not. I doubt I ever will. But I wouldn't mind, all else being equal. Which it isn't.

just when you find out nitsuh lives below you, too.

do I want to interview ariel pink?

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, poor Nitsuh. Ask Ariel Pink if he is a dick.

there's basically no chance you won't get on the "guestlist".

I'm tearing up.

PJ's last post=the 3000th

Madchen, I tried but failed to get a picture of Bonzo. BONZO!

Glasgow missed an excellent evening of pervy men in bed in their kilts, free booze, women who looked like they had been drawn by Terry Gilliam, slimy bruschetta, Miss Marple hats, Wee Andra from Rab C Nesbitt, Paul Young (the fishing one, not the Love Will Tear Us Apart murdering one), drunken cheque wielding and racist cartoons. Antique fairs RULE! (also free booze and men with little sausages)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

What the fuck are you talking about! That lot were exhibiting themselves; in their kilts; in bed!

Do you mean BONZO from LED ZEP?

― KeefW (kmw), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry about the language; I am enjoying being mildly drunk.

― KeefW (kmw), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Hooray! Me 3000th!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 13 May 2005 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I mean a little dog called Bonzo. That I can't find a picture of on the internet. I am in love. With a little blue doleful pottery dog.

A man was exhibiting a bed by being in it, in a kilt, and pointing out (to anyone who wasn't scared off) a video that he had playing continually in his little stall of him on telly with Nicki Chapman talking about furniture. He was really really creepy.

I had a thought about Glasgow last night whilst walking over the wee metal bridge that's next to the Bells Bridge and that thought was that I DIDN'T RECOGNISE GLASGOW ANY MORE. It kind of freaked me out, all these swanky flats and shiny buildings and regeneration projects. I looked around and if it hadn't been for the Finnieston crane and the top of the University tower, I could have been anywhere and it didn't feel like home.

I have been rereading this thread. It was funny, in late February and maybe March 2004. I'm not saying it's not now. Or that it is.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 14 May 2005 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Matthew Dear was rubbish/relentless/dull - crazy techno people too. i've got such a bloody headache. is anyone wanting to see Lindstrom tonight? i think i can get people on teh guest list, just holler!

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 14 May 2005 13:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I thought you said that was Sunday.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 14 May 2005 13:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyway, it's not. I would like to go, in a way, but on the other hand I am feeling somewhat ropey. I think, on balance, no.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 14 May 2005 13:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I feel a bit dopey

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 14 May 2005 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

you rang?

I have an exam in edinburgh tomorrow.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 08:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, so that's why you're coming. Maybe it is a bad idea to try Aberdeen, on balance. Perhaps we should concentrate on EUROVISION PARTY instead. It is the 50th one!

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

ooh, Eurovision Party Please!

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 10:55 (twenty-one years ago)

fancy dress.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I have already been invited to one.

So ner.

I shall not attend.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:01 (twenty-one years ago)

an obvious choice of party, for you, I think. what's your platform?

two crossposts

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:01 (twenty-one years ago)

who can teach me evidence?

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I think you know enough--it's usually very easy to tell what you're thinking.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:07 (twenty-one years ago)

The Eurovision can fuck off. I want Aberdeen.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 11:28 (twenty-one years ago)

So more Alba, less Eorpa?

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

More Eeyore less Haw-Haw.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 12:24 (twenty-one years ago)

The early stages of senility are difficult to come to terms with.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 12:53 (twenty-one years ago)

My wife's got no nose.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

How can you tell?

― Tim (Tim), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Who knows.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

terrible

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Hardly "racist" though.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Unless your wife is black.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I assure you she is not.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

this thread was good.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't have time to believe you.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:53 (twenty-one years ago)

What is in Aberdeen?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Only Cozen, and Amanda.

I say, only.

Yeah. Only.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Perhaps it is ripe for a takeover.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I was thinking about having a Eurovision 'do'. Should I not, now?

Ailsa, it looks like I was a drunken fool with my chequebook. Also, his name is officially Byngo. He's Bonzo to me, though.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

The only thing about you having a party is that it will depress me that 12 months have passed. Unless I'm in Aberdeen.

Those dogs are lusty.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

You should have one, Madchen. I don't think anyone else could top the cheese-on-cocktail-sticks brilliance of last year.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't remember last year.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Last year was great! You had prepared melons! (Or were they pineapples?) I can't remember anything about the actual Eurovision though, except Britain being awful.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember last year. It also depresses me. My place is bigger than your place. But I suppose we should consult the consensus. Plus, if it's at yours, I won't have to tidy up.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember a lack of room at Madchen's. I think tiered seating might have to be introduced. Or sitting on laps. I don't mind Ally sitting on my lap, or Cathy. I think I draw the line at RJG.
