I have £70 to last me until next Thursday and that must include some food shopping and some petrol! Don't go eating Russian this weekend, pleeeeease!

b-b-but it's next saturday, isn't it?

either way, i cannae make it (arran this weekend, rhodes next weekend. ooh, and skye last weekend. it's, er, "island-hopping". i think.)

i would, however, be up for stuffing my face with beetroot and vodka at some point in the future.

I don't know about russian food

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

You could learn

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

Dublin next weekend. Ireland hopping.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

the theory, perhaps

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

I am moving to glasgow next weekend. Can someone summarise this entire thread for me. 'tis very long.

― hmmm (hmmm), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

asshoppers need not apply

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

You are such a meanie.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:38 (twenty years ago)

:' (

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:38 (twenty years ago)

don't worry, hmmm, i ass-hopped my way in here and i think i got away with it.

see you at a FAP soon, then, i guess!

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

a better summary would be "four pints of guinness, six bottles of lager, three pints of lager, a vodka and cranberry juice and a gin and orange for stet."

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:45 (twenty years ago)

We went to a Russian restaurant in Exeter. OMG THE PORTION SIZES.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:45 (twenty years ago)

Ordinary, Medium, Gigantic?

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:48 (twenty years ago)

Gigantic. Starter at least as big as an average main course.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

I went to cineworld, on wednesday, to see howl's moving castle, and had a very small laugh at the fountain drinks cup sizes

children's (big), regular (huge), large (very gigantic)

maybe it's been longer, since I last went to the cinema, than I had thought

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:51 (twenty years ago)

there was some talk of gin and orange?

― stet (stet), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:02 (twenty years ago)

is howl's moving castle good, rjg?

― stet (stet), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:03 (twenty years ago)

I liked it, a lot

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:04 (twenty years ago)

I don't like cineworld because the popcorn cartons say salty on one side and sweet on the other and it's all confusing. Lords of Dogtown was pretty good.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:07 (twenty years ago)

I asked ally out, to the cinema, last night, to see it, but he had "band practice"

I wish he'd bothered to make up a believable excuse

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

I might actually have that record, Tim!

Anyway, who or what is the current D Betts & what is the "latest work" of which Mädchen speaks, please?

I am sure that Doctor Cock need a lot of practice.

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 23 September 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

Band practice: the new hairwashing?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

Why doesn't porkypie post here any more? He was quite funny, back in March 2004.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:56 (twenty years ago)

Reading old Ilx threads on a friend night: the new flower-pressing ;)

― stet (stet), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, "band practice" was Scotstvo's excuse for not coming to ~~get very pissed~~ watch Celtic with me and Onimo on Wednesday.

Vodka and beetroot night can be postponed for a week to accommodate Madchen and Grimly, if only for the comedy of seeing Grimly with beetroot stuck in his moustache. Also, we could ~~scare~~ welcome hmmmm accordingly.

Can someone in the know please advise what time .2. are playing at Mono tomorrow?

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

why do you hate instal, cathy?

besides the silly surrounding rhetoric

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 23 September 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

it goes a little bit like this

but it gets the chop at the end of the month! (i'd quite like to keep it, actually, but mrs fiendish will rip off my bolls.)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 23 September 2005 19:55 (twenty years ago)

bad music, terrible people, unbelievably wanky. I went to instal 03 and the bands were alternately so loud I was deafened or so quiet I could hear my own boredom. It was about the least fun I could imagine having.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

hello, I still read this thread, mainly as I love Glasgow but see it so rarely. I'd like to try it before Xmas, but I don't think I have the time (or rather, the available holiday now I am invading the low countries next weekend)

Adopts pompous, outraged David Keenan like tone:

Well, I guess you just didn't get it! ;)

Nah, fair enough. I went last year and heard some really interesting and powerful stuff like Steffan Basho Jungans and Richard Youngs, but there was an awful lot of boring noise and farting about. And the audience were so bloody po-faced, as if they didn't want to look "square" by laughing or yawning or just looking bored. The playful side of experimental music was sorely missing.
Le Weekend in Stirling is much better. More relaxed, more varied and more FUN! It also gives electronic music a look in, something Instal no longer does.

― Stew (stew s), Friday, 23 September 2005 20:48 (twenty years ago)

bad music, terrible people, unbelievably wanky

see that's how i'd describe national pop league or something.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:15 (twenty years ago)

at any rate, what's the point of hating something that has a limited and targetted audience and comes round but once a year.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:17 (twenty years ago)

Well, I don't hate it all year round. I guess I am not the target audience.

-- jed_ (colin_o_har...), September 23rd, 2005.

I've been to Pop League AND Instal. Both have their merits, both have their bad points. But at least you can dance at Pop League and it has prettier girls. :)

― Stew (stew s), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

there were some hotties there when boredoms played :)

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:48 (twenty years ago)

oh, glasgow

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 24 September 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

We are on at 6.30 tomorrow. We will be dreadful, I'm actually quite scared.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 24 September 2005 03:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure RJG is right.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 24 September 2005 03:31 (twenty years ago)

GO EASY ON THE NOISE GUYS.
THEY MEAN WELL.

― , Saturday, 24 September 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

I don't mind a bit of Noise, it's just all the rhetoric surrounding it, the "subversive fallacy" as Simon Reynolds put it in Blissout.

― Stew (stew s), Saturday, 24 September 2005 06:13 (twenty years ago)

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 24 September 2005 06:16 (twenty years ago)

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Saturday, 24 September 2005 09:54 (twenty years ago)

exactly.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 24 September 2005 10:34 (twenty years ago)

what is up with all youse guys and your HOLIDAYS. bastards. instead, i work three weeks straight without a single day off :( which, incidentally, means no russian for me either that weekend. but i really want to go! and i worry that trying it in our numbers on a weekend is a bad idea as it seems TINY and we are LARGE.
noize boyz are from RHODE ISLAND! yeeeeeah!
madchen.... lords of dogtown??? er... WHY?
grimly.... 'tache update required! what was that site again?
i feel so goddamn out of the loop these days :( bah...

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 24 September 2005 10:41 (twenty years ago)

Dahlin: for the cute long-haired louts. Also, I was under the impression that the Metro is only published five days a week ...

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 24 September 2005 12:01 (twenty years ago)

Madchen, have you seen Dogtown & Z-Boys? If not, I will loan you it.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 24 September 2005 12:08 (twenty years ago)

Yes please, I would like to see it.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 24 September 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

No weekend off for me, so Russian is out for me that day too. I cannae go the following Saturday either, as I'm going to the Scotland vs Belarus match that afternoon and expect to be unable to display adequate table manners in the evening.

Dot to Dot might be a goer tonight though.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Saturday, 24 September 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

I think they're on in an hour

I better think about leaving
