easyjet or ryan air??

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

Easyjet!

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:03 (twenty years ago)

room sounds kinda contrived.

we should go to the greek golden kebab on the south side. and no, not just because it's a bawhair away from my house.

failing that, we should just go to the PUB.

room's logo looks like a weirdo's knuckleduster

Haha, Grimly thinks he can tempt ilx sarf of the river. Ooh, but there is that good-looking Kurdish place on Pollokshaws Road which I want to try.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:13 (twenty years ago)

I don't want to pull a good-looking Kurd. Actually maybe I do. I was assuming it was all men, for some reason. How sexist. Or is it homophobic? Or racist?

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:14 (twenty years ago)

Hang, on. We're not going out on the pull, are we? I'm getting confused with the conversation I am having with my colleagues about our Christmas do.

Haha great minds, kinda.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

not that'd I'd go

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:21 (twenty years ago)

Cafe La Padella is kind of Turkish.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

that good-looking Kurdish place on Pollokshaws Road

koshkemeer? YES, IT LOOKS ACE. let's go there. now.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

I tried and failed to persuade Stet to go there last night. There was one near the Snaffle, but I think it's closed down. Aren't a lot of the Turkish people here actually ethnic Kurds who have done a runner?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

~~ethnic~~ Kurds

I think

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:29 (twenty years ago)

Let's talk about Turkey's human rights record, for Cathy.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

There = Padella. He is up for 'the Kosh'.
(X-post again, I can't keep up)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

the argan cafe?

seb's?

mediterranean, more than turkish

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

I tried and failed to persuade Stet to go there last night

tell him he's a big chumper.

and to check his e-mail.

i'm not really up on the turkish diaspora, but i do know that lots of people have told me koshkemeer - which styles itself "scotland's first kurdish restaurant" - is absolutely MIGHTY. as long as you like lamb, that is.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:34 (twenty years ago)

When I worked in the tall flats on Red Road, there was a lovely Kurdish woman called Neriman whose dream it was to own a cafe. She was doing her food hygiene certificate and looking at a place near the university at the time (about 3 years ago). I've often wondered what happened to her.

She used to sing me the Turkish version of Kiss Kiss too!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:39 (twenty years ago)

I don't like lamb

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:41 (twenty years ago)

you worked in the red road flats?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:41 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, for about 3 months in summer 2002. It was by far the most interesting, friendly and thoroughly good place I've worked since I've been here. I was just very overqualified and underpaid.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

I don't like lamb

you and mrs fiendish both (hence my not having been to koshkemeer yet).

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:14 (twenty years ago)

Does she like pork?

― alext (alext), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:17 (twenty years ago)

very forward

(trying to earn my ASBO)

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:19 (twenty years ago)

The List says you don't have to eat lamb; chicken and fish are also available. Also, it is BYO = key I'd say.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:27 (twenty years ago)

Does she like pork?

no, but she enjoys tiny chipolatas very much.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

very backwards

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

are there any good mexican restaurants in glasgow?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

BYOASBO

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

This is totally the year of the sausage. (for me I mean).

― alext (alext), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:37 (twenty years ago)

If we're not going to ATP we should totally go somewhere with sausages.

― alext (alext), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't call Pancho Villas good, but by UK standards it's acceptable. (crosspost)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, how does Friday 11th November suit?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

november 11 is good by me.

If we're not going to ATP we should totally go somewhere with sausages

you sausage-obsessed poltroon :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

I've had more sausages than are good for me. They're on sale in Sainsbury's on woodlands road, sossidge fans.

I tried and failed to persuade Stet

She did:

Stet: Where shall we go for to eat?
Madchen: Well, there's this cafe down woodlands rd.
S: O? Wot do it sell tell me o you mite
M: I've no idea. It's a cafe, I think. It mite be closed, too.
S: Any idea what it sells at all?
M: Um, no. It's a cafe. O the rain's on now too.
S: Let's go somewhere good instead.
M: OK.

Hey! I'm off Friday 11. I can come too. The Kosh then?

― stet (stet), Thursday, 20 October 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

Hello Glasgow. Sorry to interupt your thread, but I wanted to communicate with Alba D. (Not that the rest of you aren't lovely)
Nick, do I have your correct mobile number? I have three email addresses for you, but they are all very old. Could you email me?

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 20 October 2005 15:13 (twenty years ago)

Hi Anna!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

Hi Madchen!

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 20 October 2005 15:17 (twenty years ago)

oh noes! rumpie, on the greek food thread, says bad things about koshkemeer.

No! I had an awful time in the Kurdish place. Please do not go! My lamb kebab tasted, as Mr Rumpy so elegantly put it "Like a punch in the face".
The soup was like really watery tinned Spaghetti Hoops, and Mr R's lamb kebab variation (the menu was mostly takes on lamb kebabs) tasted as though it had been steeped overnight in battery acid.
The decorations were, typical Kurdish? I don't know, but the Mournful Girl picture made me feel guilty for eating.
They do not take credit cards either meaning an embarrassing jog to the cash machine down the road.
Puding, if memory serves me correctly consisted of milk and egg yolks. I didn't order this.
The bread was DIVINE. Perhaps my palate is just not refined enough for Kurdish eating.

i vote fuck it, we go anyway. ~~fat~~slim ron liked it, and so did some bloke who wrote a letter to the evening times. and it smells lovely.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 October 2005 16:03 (twenty years ago)

Hi Anna! My mobile phone number will not have changed. I will email you anyway though because you are nice.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 20 October 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)
