yeah, better not

was just thinking: best not rely on trains

shame, if you're supposed to be there 40 mins before and I would, in theory, be there 32 mins before

I can read a book, probably

If there is a spare place going on Friday, my pal Ryan who some of you have met would quite like to come along too. So he can be on the subs list if it drops below whatever number we actually settle on.

RJG, if my car hadn't broken down I'd have given you a lift - I love the road to Prestwick at that time in the morning. I have done it a couple of times for friends/family.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 10:25 (twenty years ago)

RJG, as long as you are there 25 mins before an internal flight, you'll get away with it...anything after 25 mins and they are bastards and don't let you on...

How come you lot have faps everytime I'm not gonna be around....tis a conspiracy I tell ya!

― smee (smee), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 10:48 (twenty years ago)

I'm not going to be there on Friday :-(

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 11:03 (twenty years ago)

Oh, there you are, save me sending you an email/text. I've got an unexpected day off today, so will just be driving to the football in the mister's car tonight - let me know if you want me to pick you up somewhere/give you a lift home.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 11:05 (twenty years ago)

have fun folksies! i'll miss you!
(and mono? god you're uncreative. you should do the victoria bar! or clutha vaults!)

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 11:45 (twenty years ago)

god you're uncreative.

The thing about Mono is that it is fucking excellent. It was a significant factor in my decision to move through here.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

Horrible wine though.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

I still don't quite know what to make of Mono. It needs the full range of Sam Smiths, a lower ceiling, different chairs and tables and proper food. The homemade lemonade, ginger beer and that new berry drink I tried the other night are aces though, as is Monorail. It's easy for me to get to as well, being close to the number 40 route.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 12:47 (twenty years ago)

ailsa I emailed your gmail

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

Cheers.

Can it not be Mono please? I think we should find somewhere new for a change. Also if we went somewhere central we could get buses/train to the south side rather than getting taxis.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 13:08 (twenty years ago)

Don't take any risks, RJG!

I am getting an 11.30am train to catch a 6.30pm flight. So I had better take a book too.

It seems like Glasgow has stepped up the fapping a lot since I left.

I really like Mono, but they need more and better chairs, and yes, Madchen is right, proper food. Who are the people on the ceiling supposed to be?

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

If there's four or five of us in each cab it'll be cheaper than the bus. But yeah, I agree not Mono this time. I would love to nab the snug at the back of the Steps, but every time I suggest that pub there is some resistance.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 14:00 (twenty years ago)

I'm running late, but I'll see you in there

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 15:06 (twenty years ago)

one day when you say that, you're going to find yourself losing your nuts.

two hours later, when you finally turn up, that is.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 15:59 (twenty years ago)

Please don't remove his nuts thx.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 16:07 (twenty years ago)

David and Lorna are a no for dinner on Friday.

Only two girls, and all those chaps. Internet communities, eh?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 16:47 (twenty years ago)

oh... have you booked it? : /

I forgot to e-mail because my heart was distracting

― soul provider (Cozen), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 18:12 (twenty years ago)

You and your bloody heart.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

tom cruise does remind me of you

crosspost

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

Please don't remove his nuts thx

i was rather thinking that you might snap and do it one day.

or is he on time for you? the bastard!

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 18:45 (twenty years ago)

I'm only ever late when you're about GF, because it winds you up. I'm known for my timekeeping elsewhere

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

Cozen: I booked it weeks ago, but could phone up and change the booking. Are you definitely coming now?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 20:53 (twenty years ago)

Only two girls, and all those chaps. Internet communities, eh?

Sausage party,

Also: Mono suX.

Also: I will be trying Glasgow less in the future.

― alext (alext), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

Also: I will be trying Glasgow less in the future.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

I will be trying Glasgow on the 18th Nov. Unfortunately it will only be long enough to get from central to buchanan st on my way to visit my friend in Linlithgow, as she's recently produced a sproglet. Also unfortunate is the fact that due to being miserly I won't be coming back the same way as I bought very cheap singles and am returning gner, so won't be able to meet anyone for drinks. Assuming anyone would be up for that.

But Chris and I will be trying Glasgow at some point in the future.

― Vicky (Vicky), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 22:22 (twenty years ago)

I will be trying Glasgow less in the future

yes, and this is a GOOD THING :)

(sorry i haven't rung you yet, alex! i will soon, i promise. maybe even in the next five minutes.)

vicky: that's a crap excuse for not coming to the pub.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

Good thing = new job, not in Glasgow! But not far away :-)

― alext (alext), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 22:54 (twenty years ago)

aw, i was trying to be mysterious.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 23:00 (twenty years ago)

I didn't want to bust it either. Congrats Alex! I give it six months before plagiarism is rife again, with people using those fangled internets to "paste and cut" under snoozing profs' noses again

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 23:31 (twenty years ago)

I see that sentence structure has already gone to hell

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 23:32 (twenty years ago)

alex, you have one month left to save the poor boy.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 23:34 (twenty years ago)

Madchen, guess who I was stood next to at half-time at the football (if you aren't reading the ILX Celebrity Sightings thread)...

http://bigbrother.gonna.co.uk/pics/dermotoleary1.jpg

I was wishing I had a camera on my phone so I could have taken a picture and sent it to you.

Vicky, I work between Central Station and Buchanan Street. Can you not even spare half an hour for a cup of coffee?

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

Ailsa, you sound like a panhandler.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 10 November 2005 08:55 (twenty years ago)

Alex, S1mon (and anyone else who fancies it), we should sort out that night out, in an attempt to at least make one of the crazy plans come true... Some time next week maybe? Trying Edinburgh I think, though. I want to go to the soft rock night at the Pond, but don't know anything about it. I'll have to find out.

― KeefW (kmw), Thursday, 10 November 2005 08:59 (twenty years ago)

I haf bought my ticket, and being a cheapskate it is non-negotiable. Also, I can't remember what time I get into Central Station, I don't get into Linlithgow until after 8, so i think it's after finishing time. I guess I could buy a single from buchanan st to linlithgow, depending on the timings.

― Vicky (Vicky), Thursday, 10 November 2005 11:45 (twenty years ago)

But we will be trying Glasgow properly in the new year sometime. I tried to buy tickets last night, but there appears to be engineering work or something on the west coast line in January which would mean three changes and leaving london at 5pm and only arriving in glasgow at a couple of minutes to midnight.

― Vicky (Vicky), Thursday, 10 November 2005 11:47 (twenty years ago)

I am coming

I can phone up and change if you wish?

― soul provider (Cozen), Thursday, 10 November 2005 13:16 (twenty years ago)

What about the east coast line? I seem to usually end up using that anyway cause it usually has cheaper offers.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 10 November 2005 13:18 (twenty years ago)

Cozen, yay! Probably best if you do it because I am rub at these things. You can find the number on the internet can't you? Booking's in my surname I think. (Confession: I didn't actually book it either, for delegation is the key to getting things done, I find.)

Alext, yay! Are you going somewhere posher?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 10 November 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

Ailsa, cor!

Vicky, soon!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 10 November 2005 14:11 (twenty years ago)

gner's site was playing up as much as thetrainline last night, I got frustrated and gave up.

― Vicky (Vicky), Thursday, 10 November 2005 14:39 (twenty years ago)

booked for 11

― soul provider (Cozen), Thursday, 10 November 2005 15:31 (twenty years ago)

Good lad :)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 10 November 2005 15:45 (twenty years ago)

Are we any nearer to a pub yet, or are we stuck with Mono?

Also, have the Koshkemeerers remembered that it's a BYOB sort of place with a £2 corkage charge and no actual bouze being sold on the premises? Just thought I'd remind you so you can get your asses down to Vicky Wines in your lunch hours rather than chasing up dodgy Pollokshaws Road offies on the way...

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 10 November 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

I like Mono, these days. I had my doubts at first.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 10 November 2005 19:04 (twenty years ago)

Vicky - check out Air Berlin's new STN-GLA service - £38 return if booked well in advance, last time I looked. Comfy seats, leg room, refreshments included.

I am not on commission, btw.

― Mooro (Mooro), Thursday, 10 November 2005 20:51 (twenty years ago)

worst thing abut Mono = staff who chat to their cool mates and ignore the fact you have been standing at the bar for 5 minutes.
