Everyone is focussing on the slump in M&S profits announced this morning, but let's not forget that they still exceeded city expectations.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 07:22 (twenty-one years ago)

And they have "laid the foundations for recovery". Be patient.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 07:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't hear them mention Cozen, but I was half-asleep.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 11:08 (twenty-one years ago)

No, it was Cozen who released the statement.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:19 (twenty-one years ago)

He's so great.

Declan from Üter lives on a diet of cheese & onion crisps. My colleague told me, but you can see it in his sunken eyes.

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

Marceline lives on a diet of crushed Pokemon.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Does she home-crush?

She has a machine, yes.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Stace, did you edit out my greengrocer's apostrophe?

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 27 May 2005 08:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been trumped - my temp is having an article published in Le Monde.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 27 May 2005 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

RJG/Cathy - are you watching BB tonight?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 27 May 2005 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

i was in paris being cultured and sweaty (unrelated). was there a greengrocer error? uh oh... the place falls apart without me, i swear... and bb! what have i missed?

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 29 May 2005 13:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish I were, alba, but I am in the cauldron.

cathy probably wishes she were, too, but she may have gone to wales and I don't think they have TVs, there.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 29 May 2005 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Harvey did

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

It doesn't properly capture the amount of mud there was around at the time.

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I was just going to say. But aw! anyway.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Although, I don't know when these photos were taken, they could be post-mud, pre-cleanup!

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

That golden age.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Indeed... That would around about the "Glasgow's miles better" plastered comically on the gas works age.

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

the age of golden and green buses.

or 1982

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Hehe, yeah it would be 1982 that. I remember first seeing the Glasgow's Miles Better thing just coming over the motorway and being annoyed with my mother for turning the radio off as "Come on Eileen" was on. I tried to reason with her - you can't turn it off, it's number 1!

Beats me how she didn't fall for my logic to this day.

Now I'm older and I can play "Come on Eileen" any time I like.

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 21:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Although in an amusing memory fuck up, this web page claims the "Glasgow's Miles Better" campaign started in 1983. The wonders of the human brain. Must be two separate incidents.

SMILES BETTER

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

glasgow's meat's miles better!

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 21:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Can you still get mugs with that on? I want one.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Glasgow's meat's gone. I don't know who got Mr Happy. He might even be lying there still, under the rubble.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 07:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I am sad that I missed so much BB. But yesterday I met (and flirted with, momentarily) Piers Morgan! Wahey, wahoo.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 09:44 (twenty-one years ago)

You will end up in his next diary.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 10:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Prize Moron's Bizzerk!

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 10:23 (twenty-one years ago)

how the hell did you manage that cathy? PIERS MORGAN! wow. a modern sleaze icon. i heard loads of er... nice... things about him during my brief stint on the mirror sports desk. was he HOTT? did he tempt you with come hither glances?

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 11:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to enjoy his Christmas cards he got whilst on Bizarre at the Sun. Each year he used to get signed Christmas cards from his 'pop pals', who included the likes of Jason Donovan, Phil Collins and the boys from Bros!

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 11:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I loved that sign! We always knew we were getting close to town whenever we went into town shopping, or going to the cinema, or the museums.

― Vicky (Vicky), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 11:28 (twenty-one years ago)

a woman bought me two strawberry tarts.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:15 (twenty-one years ago)

a sailor gave me a penny

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I met him at the Hay-on-Wye festival, where he was talking and signing things. You have trumped that x1000 for working at the Mirror sports desk...please tell me Piers gossip!!

What happened between me and Mr. Morgan is a private matter, of course, but I can confirm that yes he was HOTT and maybe there were come-hither glances.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 14:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Dahlin, good work on the headlining of teh letters page today!

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I have been off sick and missed the Metro yesterday and today. Has WW3 erupted over Italian grammar, or was I ignored? And what was today's headline?

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 16:51 (twenty-one years ago)

It involved the phrase "get me away from here I'm dying" so I'm guessing our Dahlin was involved in it.

Have you been writing in, Madchen? I have been driving to work and haven't seen the metro for weeks, but I was seconded to Glasgow today and got the train.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I was in print on Friday but it seems I may have done it without Dahlin's help. I hope so - it would feel like an even greater achievement (no offence).

Cathy, your Piers Luv baffles me a bit.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Madchen, me too! It has been on-off for about four years now, but in the last few weeks it has really peaked. I think it is the hot weather. I think I will shut up about him now though.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Does Glasgow (or any subset thereof) want to go and see Roddy Frame + Trash Can Sinatras with me on 10th June? I am hoping it will not sell out before I get paid next week.

OK. It didn't sell out and I just bought a ticket. Does anyone want to come with me then, or do I stand about like a jangly-pop-loving loser on my own (alternative, anyone Fancy A Pint?)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Like I said.

Denver had Glasgow style rain, for a couple of days, I'm sure you'll all be glad to know.

Cathy, this Piers thing will have to be explained.
