― 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)

o god, we broke mädchen :(

i hope you're placing all the blame where it belongs: ie squarely on stet's shoulders.

seriously: hope you start to feel better v soon indeed.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 31 October 2005 23:09 (twenty years ago)

pöor poör mädchen, aww, there there.

Stet will be blaming mädchen if he catches it.

― stet (stet), Monday, 31 October 2005 23:17 (twenty years ago)

i hope you're placing all the blame where it belongs: ie squarely on stet's shoulders

Would you like to borrow a step ladder?

Grimly, I got to speak to Charlie-boy's secretary today. She wasn't much use, but thanks anyway.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 31 October 2005 23:25 (twenty years ago)

Also, thanks for offer Madchen, but I've decided to take the car and go home and get changed after work then come back into town. I'll phone/text you later.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 07:48 (twenty years ago)

Would some nice Glasgow person Try & record this for Moore, please?

"The Music Show programme B&S filmed for the other week starts this Friday November 4th on BBC Two Scotland. It airs between 11.35pm and 12.05am and one of the new B&S tracks will be on it, so tune in!"

Video would be nice, DVD even nicer :)

Thanks!

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)

If Glasgow can be bothered, Dead City Radio will be appearing in Nice and Sleazy around 9pm ce soir.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

You should have appeared at around 11 pm last night. We'd have seen you then :)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 2 November 2005 18:04 (twenty years ago)

Why, what happened?

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Thursday, 3 November 2005 08:30 (twenty years ago)

We were in Nice'n'Sleazy on Tueday. Well, me, Madchen and Ally C were at any rate. And we would have seen you. Whereas I didn't see you last night because I wasn't there. Having spent all my money being out the night before. Do you see?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 3 November 2005 18:13 (twenty years ago)

Alles klar!

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Thursday, 3 November 2005 18:59 (twenty years ago)

Also, I'm not going to the Scotland game because I'm spending all my money on Belle and Sebastian tickets instead. And they don't show Belle and Sebastian live on the telly, so they win.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

£18.50 + booking fee? They can piss off. Sell outs!

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:03 (twenty years ago)

AND you need the secret password. Pfft. I bought tickets for the third night, anyway.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:07 (twenty years ago)

Me too (the third night tickets - I had briefly entertained the idea of going to all three before I saw the ticket prices ~~and my bank balance~~). I was also debating shunning the three-gig-Glasgow-extravaganza altogether in favour of a trip to sunny Hammersmith, but decided that would be foolish. Though I may yet change my mind before the night is out.

I think the first time I saw B&S it was about £5 a ticket. How times have changed.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:29 (twenty years ago)

The first time I saw B&S they paid ME to see them.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

For £18.50 + booking fee, I'd want to see all four Beatles.

I'm spending all my money on Belle and Sebastian tickets instead. And they don't show Belle and Sebastian live on the telly, so they win.

Maybe the SFA are missing a trick here and should sack their usual half time entertainment in favour of lilting West-End balladry. That'd get the indie kids in.

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Thursday, 3 November 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

Shameless plug - I'm guest DJ at Pin Ups at the Woody tomorrow night, should anyone care to drop by. :)

― Stew (stew s), Thursday, 3 November 2005 21:28 (twenty years ago)

That is very expensive!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 4 November 2005 09:06 (twenty years ago)

AND, some of the agencies are sticking nearly £5 quid postage on top of the booking fee!

Oops, I just realised that you meant Ailsa's £5 ...

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 4 November 2005 10:51 (twenty years ago)

I suppose it is to subsidise the press pack in London, which usually makes up about half the crowd.

£5 postage! They're having a laugh!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 4 November 2005 11:22 (twenty years ago)

too much

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 4 November 2005 11:56 (twenty years ago)

Way too much.

I would like to go, though.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 4 November 2005 12:03 (twenty years ago)

ok I'll stop tht fkn insufferable mugging now

...and the OC's in the post, I wasn't being bad I swear, just lazy

― carrey degeneres seinfeld (Cozen), Sunday, 6 November 2005 16:55 (twenty years ago)

I doubt I will be going. But you never know.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 6 November 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

I doubt I will be going and you always know

mugging?

heard about you

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 6 November 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

£5 postage! They're having a laugh!

I think you'll find that should be a 'giraffe', now that you're a proper metrosexual. I mean, you have taken to using 'Magnus', etc.

― Mooro (Mooro), Sunday, 6 November 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

Top Poptimo tonight! My first in 6 months or so, a real treat. Blondie, The Meters, Kraftwerk, Chris Isaak and the usual pretty beats. Plus a chilly fire alarm. And the band weren't bad. Hot singer/bassist. I'm going to sleep happy. Thanks, K.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 7 November 2005 05:51 (twenty years ago)

Ally, try sleeping more!

― KeefW (kmw), Monday, 7 November 2005 08:30 (twenty years ago)

I did.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 7 November 2005 16:14 (twenty years ago)

Can I transfer my invitation from the previous fap/dinner, which I did not accept, to the coming fap/dinner? Apologies for the late notice. I have not had internet in my flat until today and the firewall at the library had an issue with the content of this thread.

― hmmm (hmmm), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:13 (twenty years ago)

you can take my place : )

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

I don't think we can get a babysitter for Friday but if not I may leave Mrs O at home and come along myself.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:21 (twenty years ago)

you can take my place : )

-- soul provider (skiplevel...), November 8th, 2005.

sweet. Would anyone object if I invited David & Lorna?

― hmmm (hmmm), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:27 (twenty years ago)

I just had a larry david moment:
the other day I went into pret and bought a sandwich and a coffee. I bought off this cute, enthusiastic eastern european girl who is usually very cheery. as she was reading out my order I laughed a little because I thought her accent was cute. she looked at me then resumed my order but was impercebtibly more curt. today I go in to nab a coffee on my way back to work, black americano as usual. the guy taking my order says something to the girl beside him and then shouts 'black americano' and turns back to talk to the eastern european girl who is making the coffee today. as she's completing making the coffee she dabs some milk into my cup and hands it to the guy, saying 'black americano'. the guy says 'black americano', smirks, and I leave. I get back to the office and only then realise that the dab of milk was going into my cup and not some other. now I'm left sitting here with my milky coffee and this story. I can picture larry's face had it happened to him.

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:48 (twenty years ago)

I don't get it. Do you think she's racist?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

Actually, this sounds like the ravings of someone suffering from schizophrenia, or high on pot. Have you sent your stolen O.C. DVDs back yet?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

she thought I was laughing at her for not speaking english well

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:13 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I understood really. Next time you see me though, I want to hear you bark "Black Americano" and see if it turns me against you.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:17 (twenty years ago)

maybe she put pot in the milk

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:17 (twenty years ago)

"I will show zis laughing racist!"

― soul provider (Cozen), Tuesday, 8 November 2005 14:17 (twenty years ago)
