I shall, maybe, be in attendance. I too like the poster, but I feel like I'd just be copying everyone else by saying so. So I won't.

The Yellow Peril!

Lynyrd! B*****!! So much Glasgow love! We just won anotehr £25 at the pub quiz!

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 5 September 2005 21:33 (twenty years ago)

not anotehr £25

we won £10, last time, but OK!!

that comic does look great but nothing like any of the close shaves I've experienced, in my time

hello glasgow!

i have a whole day of work ahead of me, don't go to bed!

what good things have happened to glasgow in the last year?

― Kate B (kate b), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 00:00 (twenty years ago)

We just won anotehr £25 at the pub quiz!

I'm sure there are other things

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 00:07 (twenty years ago)

that'll do, RJG :)

new in melbourne: my sister has stayed home from school today to finish a 5000 word story for her english class, which has to be written in the style of a mills & boon novel. the class is supposed to be demonstrating writing clichés that should normally be avoided and yet it's the longest essay (x 5) they've ever been assigned. i think the teacher has plagiarism in her sights, otherwise it doesn't make sense. my only memory of this teacher is that she was allergic to solvents and would run out of the classroom whenever anyone brandished a wite-out.

― Kate B (kate b), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 00:32 (twenty years ago)

I think of plagiarism as kind of a cliché

I am going to spain, on thurs, with cathy, until mon, to help(?) her look for a flat (she is going there, to live, for ten months, as part of her course, and we were there, already, at the end of july or so, to see what it was like, and it was nice)

then I am going to apply for some jobs

I wrote a bit of a C.V., today

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 00:39 (twenty years ago)

very exciting news about spain!

i'm going to mount baw baw with my dad on the weekend. glasgow taught me to find humour in the name of the place.

― Kate B (kate b), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 01:00 (twenty years ago)

poor old baw baw

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 01:08 (twenty years ago)

glasgow is beautiful this morning

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 06:39 (twenty years ago)

Lucky old baw baw.

OK, a furtehr £25.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 10:45 (twenty years ago)

I am going to Spain, on Saturday. But not Leon.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 10:52 (twenty years ago)

It is a good poster, yes. But you left off "Tim H".

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 10:53 (twenty years ago)

i kinda miss university.

― jeffrey (johnson), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 11:00 (twenty years ago)

me too

where are you off to, PJ? barcelona?

thanks, about the poster. I will put tim H on the next ten

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

Good. Then he will have to go to all of them.

I am going to San Sebastian. Well, near there. Renteria. My mother-in-law's. If we take a shine to it, we may stay.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 11:11 (twenty years ago)

there's a job going in the listings section of the metro, yo
(interested, stew? i thought of you)

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 11:22 (twenty years ago)

ah, we are flying into the ryanair bilbao-santander airport and staying in blibao, on thurs night, and, then, to leon, until monday, and home!

crosspost

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 11:23 (twenty years ago)

We are flying to Bilbao-Bilbao. I don't know about Bilbao-Santander.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 11:26 (twenty years ago)

it is probably in santander

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 11:37 (twenty years ago)

Bilbao is increíble. I recommend you try Antxokia more when you're there. Bilbao airport is in Bilbao. Santander is quite a bit away. Further than Prestwick even.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

I'm reading things

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

I heard something about you

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

Bilbao airport is in Sondika.

Beat that for smarypantsness.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

I heard something about me

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

glasgow has been twinned with turin, rostov-on-don, dalian, havana and nuremberg

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

I was told that Rostov-on-Don was the serial killer capital of the world a few years ago. It may since have been overtaken by somewhere else.

Bilbao airport is in Sondika.

Beat that for smarypantsness.

Ez.

I need a job since my redundancy is getting ever more imminent. Does one need experience for this sort of thing? Or even some sort of clue as to what is going on in Glasgow these days? I am a failed student journalist, so am obviously well equipped to write about shit that goes on in Glasgow pubs.

Today, I saw Dahlin's name in a byline in the Metro. I tried, and failed, to impress my kiddies at work by going "that's a friend of mine". Philistines. If I wasn't me, and I knew a top ace reporting journo type, I'd be impressed. Maybe.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

ha! top ace reporting journo type... i spent the day making cinema listings fit on one page. grrr...
no clue how that story got my name on it. and it had mistakes in it too! embarassing. :(
considering the blondes who currently do the job, i doubt it requires much specific experience... there's an ad in today's paper. and there will be another one in thursdays

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

Pat Lally is running for the Cathcart seat. Glasgow is safe for us all now.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

We once went to the fireworks in Glasgow and they appeared to be burning an effigy of Pat Lally atop the bonfire. That was fun.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

i know this is a fun thread but...

i take it you guys heard about the sickening (and baffling) attack on Gibson street on monday morning. If any of you live round that area, be careful.

Ugh.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 07:05 (twenty years ago)

What a terrible thing to happen.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 09:55 (twenty years ago)

Yick.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:18 (twenty years ago)

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:22 (twenty years ago)

I think they're normall USB or ethernet, how they connect to the computer

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

I have a USB modem but it crashes my computer

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:30 (twenty years ago)
