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

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.

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

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.

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.

there's a job going in the listings section of the metro, yo

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.

BLAG:
does anyone have a spare ethernet DSL modem going?

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

ethernet?

we have an ADSL one that isn't in use

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

is it USB?

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)

it is probably USB

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

I'll try my USB one first

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:33 (twenty years ago)

FAP:
Al & I will be eating first and then heading up to King Tut's around 6pm tomorrow evening. He has Lost goodies for those who requested copies.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

Let's all congratulate Ailsa on her new job!
Stacey, I saw your better half walking to school today!
See you tomorrow!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 12:53 (twenty years ago)

top ace reporting journo type

pah. fuck 'em. top ace sub-editing journo types pwn them.

see youse tomorrow, probably about 8pm-ish.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

I saw Germaine Greer today in Leamington Spa! I don't miss Glasgow anymore.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

aww but glasgow still misses you!
what is this new ailsa job???
as for tomorrow.. i might head there straight after work at 6pm too! then later i must pop out to retrieve an american girl from the train station. i may - or may not - return with her in tow. it depends how well behaved you all are.

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

I'll be there between 7-8pm. Should be able to muster some emergency funds before getting paid on Friday. Thought I was ok, but then the bloody phone bill came through. Grrr.

― Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 20:32 (twenty years ago)

Yay new job!

I now have the same sort of job I had before, but with more money and less chance of getting made redundant (hopefully!). Start soon as I get out of my old job. I shall be in pub once I've come home, had my tea and recovered from teh hangover of death brought on by hearing about new job and toasting Kenny Miller.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 8 September 2005 06:18 (twenty years ago)

top stuff, ailsa: hurrah!

irritatingly, there's now a 50% chance i won't be able to make it tonight (tedious, not worth explaining here). i should know for sure later today. assuming i don't, i would suggest the usual replacement of dragging some bearded, ranting tramp off the street and sticking him in my place.

like i say: i should know for sure later on.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 8 September 2005 08:25 (twenty years ago)

I'm going home to ditch the car and have some healthy dinner first, so I should be there around eight.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 8 September 2005 08:28 (twenty years ago)

I might go to the movies first.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 8 September 2005 11:35 (twenty years ago)

Jesus, I should check these things over sometimes.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 8 September 2005 11:44 (twenty years ago)

Is that your job, Ally? Or have you been random googling?
