I'll come on the 11th if that's OK. I don't understand this Cathouse prank.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 October 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

ps. who is a dick?
pps. Ally and I are going to Optimo next Sunday (6th Nov). Advance notice. I don't think the band playing looks very good, but you never know. They said that about Van Gogh.

yay the 11th. as for the cathouse: as you well know, it's a ROCK CLUB for people who ROCK. or for very sad old men hoping for a glimpse of robert plant squeezing his lemon into some unsuspecting girl's G&T.

somehow i didn't think this would float yr boat, alba.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 28 October 2005 15:44 (twenty years ago)

I was told it was more of a goth club. Do you dress up in PVC and that when you go?

or for very sad old men hoping for a glimpse of robert plant squeezing his lemon into some unsuspecting girl's G&T.

I assume this is some sexual practice I don't know about. Educate me!

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 October 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)

I used to like the Cathouse years ago. I haven't been for about four or five years, but I bet it hasn't changed much.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 28 October 2005 16:07 (twenty years ago)

I like seeing the goths queueing outside the cathouse. It makes me nostalgic.

― Cathy (Cathy), Friday, 28 October 2005 16:10 (twenty years ago)

Ah, misunderstanding. I am not being interviewed for a job.

A girl at work says the Cathouse at Halloween is where pervy old men go to look at young girls in red pvc outfits. I trust that Madchen will have her boys under some form of control.

PS Yeah, Optimo.
PPS Done, PJ.

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 28 October 2005 16:40 (twenty years ago)

Boys means boobs, yes?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 October 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

It's not Hallowe'en yet though. So no perving tonight. Except at Madchen's out of control boys, obviously.

Paisley will be awash with girls in nasty PVC nurses uniforms like Lesley out of Big Brother this weekend (as it was last year around Hallowe'en time). Possibly exacerbated by the recent opening of a "lingerie" shop in the town centre which sells "sexy" outfits of that nature. I will be avoiding like, well, like I normally avoid Paisley at the weekend.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

Is it true that they do actually still have the Plague in Paisley?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:10 (twenty years ago)

There is a plague of women who think they look attractive in PVC nurses uniforms at least.

Paisley, however, is lovely otherwise (honest) if you stay in the town centre and I repeat my request for you all to come through and eat nice food at Raeburns some time. We can go straight back to Glasgow for pubbage afterwards though.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

no goths at the cathouse

just the myspace street team

― c7n (Cozen), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

Ally could go there and be fellated.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

And then chased with an axe.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

Not again.

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:31 (twenty years ago)

Have dot2cock made a video yet?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

When you say "Ally could go there" are you talking about paisley or the cathouse?

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I meant the Cathouse.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:37 (twenty years ago)

Getting fellated and getting chased by an axe-wielding maniac (as opposed to just an axe) are the sort of things that could happen to him in Paisley too. I was just checking.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 28 October 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

on a more salubrious note, ailsa: how did you get on with mister charlie chuck, glasgow's leading mountain-climbing editor?

alba: this should enlighten you. pip pip.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 28 October 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

Grimly, we are running quite late.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 28 October 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

I feel quite rough today, for some reason.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 29 October 2005 12:13 (twenty years ago)

Grimly, events overtook me at work and I never got a chance to call him. I'll be doing so on Monday.

Madchen, good, serves you right for texting people at ungodly hours when they are asleep and waking them up by making their phone going beep :)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 29 October 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

You mean people don't switch off their phones? Sorry :)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 29 October 2005 12:36 (twenty years ago)

No, I like to have my phone on in case anyone wants to contact me urgently. Like to tell me they are dancing to Bon Jovi :) It's my own fault for being so un-RAWK and being in my bed at midnight.

I might be trying Glasgow more later on today. I tried it last Saturday too, but I had a sore leg and couldn't be bothered walking very far (we got as far as the door of GoMA before I started crying and wanting to go home). We went to Underworld and ate fajitas instead and drank wine until my leg didn't hurt anymore (thus proving it wasn't gout).

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 29 October 2005 12:42 (twenty years ago)

Also Madchen, I posted a link to a recipe for pumpkin ice cream (!) to your ILCooking thread. Greatest idea ever! Tomorrow will be spent doing pumpkinny type things chez W as well.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 29 October 2005 12:46 (twenty years ago)

o dere godd. the new Cathouse, btw, is the same as the old one except: the floor's not as sticky, the bouncers shout at you when you jump around, they play mash-ups of Killing in the Name and Mr Boombastic (genius) and they don't give you back yr jacket at the end of the night.

They still give you horrid hangovers tho.

― stet (stet), Saturday, 29 October 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

I don't think the band playing looks very good

i think they look pretty good. whether they sound any good is another matter entirely.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 29 October 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

the bouncers shout at you when you jump around

yes! i'd forgotten about that. it was like the fun police, patrolling the dancefloor and making sure everyone was just doing a gentle polka.

that said, it's the only place i've ever been where the bouncers are more reasonable than the cloakroom staff. what a bunch of hopeless mooks.

rocking night, though.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 29 October 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

(even though i did have to throw myself out of a cab to escape being dragged to the west end by mrs fiendish instead of going HOME to be angry about my coat)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 29 October 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

last weekend was my pumpkin weekend. three pies and one risotto later, i'm all pumpkined out. now i've moved on to apples. mmmmm
cathouse.
my god.

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 29 October 2005 17:29 (twenty years ago)

I can hardly talk. Goody by Chatty McChat :( Pumpkin ice-cream is an aces idea! Cheers Ailsa. I shall have a bash at that one, I think.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 29 October 2005 18:11 (twenty years ago)

can't hang around all day folx

― c7n (Cozen), Saturday, 29 October 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

Child.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 30 October 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

heard about me

― c7n (Cozen), Sunday, 30 October 2005 05:51 (twenty years ago)

Is anyone else going to see Architecture in Helsinki on the first?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Sunday, 30 October 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I didn't know about that, but I would really like to. *quickly googles* Do you think you would just be able to buy tickets on the door, or would I have to go up and buy them on my lunch hour?

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 30 October 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

I am going. There will probably still be tix.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 30 October 2005 17:29 (twenty years ago)

Shall we go drinking first? Ally, someone will have to text you and let you know how badly Rangers are doing against ArtBrats.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 30 October 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

I don't think I will go to this restaurant, by the way

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 30 October 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Sunday, 30 October 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

Voice update: almost completely gone! Strepsils making zero difference.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 31 October 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

Poor Madchen! Get well soon.

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 31 October 2005 17:12 (twenty years ago)

Alcohol might make a difference, as might food, i.e. would you like to go do something after work tomorrow so I don't have to go all the way home then all the way back into Glasgow again to go and see Architecture in Helsinki.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 31 October 2005 18:10 (twenty years ago)

We just made a pumpkin lantern and put it in the window and we've had our first trick or treaters for a few years.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 31 October 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

Ailsa - not sure. Booze in a smoky atmosphere is what disappeared my voice in the first place. I'll text you tomorrow and let you know how I'm feeling. Still want to go to the gig, though, because I don't know when I'll get to see AIH again. Poor Madchen :(

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 31 October 2005 20:29 (twenty years ago)

We could go booze (or not booze, eat, whatever) somewhere non-smoky if you want - I did that on Saturday night and it was suprisingly OK. Drum and Monkey would be OK, and has food.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 31 October 2005 20:43 (twenty years ago)

I hope that you feel a whole lot better soon, Armes Mädchen.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

OK, but I need to get changed out of my work clothes first. If you don't fancy hanging around town, I could pick you up on the way and you can come and laugh at my lack of bathroom.

Thank you Mooro. I feel OK in myself, really. I just sound horrific.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Plus the usual snot etc.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)
