It was sieged.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 31 July 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

(Ally C that was directed to, Madchen doesn't have a beard. Mind you, neither does Ally C any more. What am I talking about?)

(xpost - someone sieged your beard?)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 31 July 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

hell's bells!

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 31 July 2005 12:52 (twenty years ago)

What, no more beard??

― Cathy (Cathy), Sunday, 31 July 2005 12:56 (twenty years ago)

shave and a haircut, no bits

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 31 July 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

They shaved his bits?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 31 July 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

This is the post where I say hi back to Ally C and RJG and ask if they have had occasion to use the gift of hot sauce yet.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 31 July 2005 13:01 (twenty years ago)

no bits

I put a coupla drops (scared) in a pasta sauce that cathy and I made, a coupla weeks ago. I could taste it but cathy said she couldn't. I thought it was nice!

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 31 July 2005 13:03 (twenty years ago)

:-) Up the amount a bit as needed until you find the right medium for all.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 31 July 2005 13:06 (twenty years ago)

i'm going to optimo tonight - let me know if you're planning to go along (anyone).

guest - Sir Richard Bishop from the Sun City Girls. Woot!

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 31 July 2005 13:15 (twenty years ago)

oh my god i want konaki!!!
but i wouldn't be able to do thursday. and are people trying edinburgh on friday or did i dream that?
i can't believe you tried the garage! i might have been convinced...
home ned! wow. does that mean there will be more photos? what did your mum think?

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 31 July 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Now you mention it Jed, have you heard that Sun City Girls are playing Instal in October? People might even dance, rather than stroke their chins.

― Stew (stew s), Sunday, 31 July 2005 14:27 (twenty years ago)

does that mean there will be more photos?

I will be posting something to that effect later today.

what did your mum think?

Of my trip? It got her to actually write her First E-mail Ever to me in response to my blogs. A momentous occasion.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 31 July 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

I hope you can fix those 2 photos with photoshop that you took for your mum in George Square.

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Sunday, 31 July 2005 17:14 (twenty years ago)

ooooooooooooooooh.

me fuckin' head

thank you all. it was absolutely fantastic to see you. reading this and speaking to some of the others, it sounds like i had a fantastic time. fucked if i can remember, though.

i liked barfly, although they could have been playing acker bilk's greatest hits and i'd still have been happy.

the effort of typing this is all but killing me. shit.

thursday, then. hoo jesus.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 31 July 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

stew - i heard about that. good news! Pauline Oliveiros too :) i had a look at my finances and will have to give tonight a miss, never mind. maybe i'll bump into you at the 'mo one night.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 31 July 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

also: i apologise wholeheartedly for failing miserably to do any introductions. i think i might have introducted dahlin, ally and RJG to mrs fiendish, and that was it. god damn.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 31 July 2005 19:45 (twenty years ago)

yo, you spent about thirty minutes wandering about the room saying "and this is X, who is X, and this is Y, who is X's girlfriend. Please meet Z." Sometimes even quietly to yourself.

― stet (stet), Sunday, 31 July 2005 19:49 (twenty years ago)

Sometimes even quietly to yourself.

that might have been where i went wrong.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 31 July 2005 19:51 (twenty years ago)

What a world.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 1 August 2005 06:57 (twenty years ago)

hey glasgow. do any of you want to try edinburgh on friday? not only is there the gauguin exhibit during the day, but there are loads of fringe festival preview shows by night, including this one. Or Hedwig! Anyone? Anyone?

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 1 August 2005 08:42 (twenty years ago)

Ooh, that (first one) looks like it has the potential to be head-shakingly awful. Count me in! (if I haven't made it out of the country)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 1 August 2005 10:40 (twenty years ago)

I shook Princess Anne's (gloved) hand.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 1 August 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)

my dad accidentally waved his arse at princess anne, many moons ago. or was it margaret? i forget.

more recently, i snubbed prince philip. he stood behind my desk and tried to engage me in conversation about sub-editing. i ignored him, because i disagree with his right to exist. he fucked off to talk to my boss instead; i tried to run over his foot with my chair but missed and knocked over my bin instead.

ah, it's all coming back to me, the great royal visit of ... whenever it was. stet wore a suit especially for the occasion, the big royalist lickspittle. i think he even combed his hair into a forelock so he could tug it.

there was an unfunny incident with a singing fish as well. crappy days.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 1 August 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

In other news, I will no longer be coming out for Cathy's birthday greekness, neither shall I be going to Edinburgh. Instead I shall be in Spain! On holiday! Wooo!!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 08:35 (twenty years ago)

Well done, Madchen. I nearly bumped into her when I was a small child, and I got the autograph of that bodyguard who saved her from an assassin's bullet, or something. It was at some kind of horsey eventing event. Splish splash went the horseys in the pond.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 08:39 (twenty years ago)

where was anne?
and what the hell was prince phillip doing in the newsroom? a royal visit to the h3rald???
woo hoo spain!

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 08:44 (twenty years ago)

and what the hell was prince phillip doing in the newsroom?

a downtable shift.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 08:52 (twenty years ago)

I nearly trod on the Queen Mum at the Durer show at the Royal Academy many years ago. Turned around after scrutinising a picture close up and thought 'who is that tiny irritating woman with the hat.. and the burly minders... oh...' Underwhelming, since my republican hackles hardly rose at all. Sorry grimly.

― alext (alext), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 09:14 (twenty years ago)

i had loads of fun stalking charlie around moray. i very nearly got to peek up his kilt as he climbed onto a lifeboat. but... why would i want to? yuck!

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 09:20 (twenty years ago)

hello folks

i am going to be trying glasgow hopefully for just the one night on the 13th august (that is the saturday). Hope to see some of yous there... driving up in the morning or maybe PLANE (i haven't checked the practicality of this).. i think i'm going to be socialising at the woodside in the evening. perhaps sneak to that pub across the road for a quick karaoke (if that still happenes), i don't know if i still remember any words for any songs though.

(happy birthday cathy!)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 09:45 (twenty years ago)

I will definitely be Trying Glasgow More at some point in September.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 09:56 (twenty years ago)

That pub is shut, Ken, you won't be trying that.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 09:59 (twenty years ago)

ah well. (burnt down i bet?)

are there other places that i should try pre-winchester?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:01 (twenty years ago)

The landsdowne! As featured in the Herald!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:08 (twenty years ago)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:10 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:14 (twenty years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:16 (twenty years ago)

It's not that posh. They let me in. And Shearer.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:21 (twenty years ago)

shearer! in that case definitely not posh.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:22 (twenty years ago)

I don't think I can come out for dinner, cathy

: /

I am working on thursday & friday, too

: /

I may get to be a lawyer soon, though

: )

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:40 (twenty years ago)

You could be the ILX lawyer as we engage in corporate takeovers.

Ken should go to the Landsdowne to follow in my holy footsteps.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 10:45 (twenty years ago)

having long hair does not make you jesus ned.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:31 (twenty years ago)

You need a beard too!

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:33 (twenty years ago)

Jesus, Ned.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

my lawyer advises me not to make a joke about all the beer in the lansdowne mysteriously turning into water.

not because it would be libellous; just unfunny.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:39 (twenty years ago)

Visions all, if somehow inappropriate.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:40 (twenty years ago)

oh no beer turning into water doesn't sound good :(

i hope they serve big portions of bread and fish anyway

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:41 (twenty years ago)

Couldn't someone have arranged for a miracle last Wednesday when I was in there watching the Artmedia Bratislava debacle? Like turning Mo Camara into a footballer or something?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

mo camera mo' problem

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 11:47 (twenty years ago)
