― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 12:45 (twenty years ago)

Job would require completion before the 20th :(

Thanks you very much for replying, though.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 13:17 (twenty years ago)

I will be travelling to London but not til 25th, David! I´m waiting for your confirmation details :-)

This is one of those drugs mule scams, isn't it?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 14:56 (twenty years ago)

i need to visit that london, but the chances of doing it any time soon are sadly slim.

wellies? coo ur.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 15:15 (twenty years ago)

This is one of those drugs mule scams, isn't it?

If the wellies would fit up your arse, then yes Alba. Thicker rubber than condoms so much safer too.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 15:31 (twenty years ago)

If the wellies would fit up your arse

can we try this for a laugh anyway?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 15:34 (twenty years ago)

i'm trying glasgow, in a way. i got a call at 1am last night and then my house was suddenly and unexpectedly filled with glasgwegians. they made me porridge this morning. good glasgwegians.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 15:56 (twenty years ago)

and they do housework! i love them.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:19 (twenty years ago)

Can I have some, please? My house is a tip. I could do with some Glaswegian ~~minions~~ houseguests in that case.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:29 (twenty years ago)

aren't these glaswegians from fife or something?

I don't know ANY glaswegians (or anyone that purports to be) that does housework!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:32 (twenty years ago)

I was hoping more for...

"Ya dinnae do winders!!!"

― Fish is Biodegradable! (That Means It Rots) (kate), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:36 (twenty years ago)

I changed something, there, during the brackets

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:36 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, I have a friend and ex-bandmate who is trying Glasgow right now, as we speak! Apparently she has gone to interview a band and have nummy organic beers and indie records at Mono. I am jealous.

― Fish is Biodegradable! (That Means It Rots) (kate), Thursday, 9 March 2006 14:40 (twenty years ago)

we'd like to help, kate, although we're allergic to windolene. can we just sit here and drink milky tea instead?

― grimly fiendish, perpetuating out-of-date stereotypes but not really giving a fu, Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:04 (twenty years ago)

yeah, mainly from fife if you're going to split hairs.

50/50 chance of stacey and i stowing away in the back of the van and trying glasgow in person tomorrow.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:04 (twenty years ago)

I won't split hairs but ally cook has a thing abt the "east coast"

50/50 isn't v telling!

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 9 March 2006 15:09 (twenty years ago)

i know, it isn't. but that's the way things stand at the moment. we're trying to decide if it's worth it as we would arrive tomorrow afternoonish then have to come back to ldn saturday morning.

Parallax View, GFT, this Wednesday 18.15. Tense.

― JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Monday, 13 March 2006 10:01 (twenty years ago)

I was sad to notice that there was no Lauren in Glasgow. However I can confirm that the Fife Glaswegians were back and in fine form on Saturday night. And by 'in fine form' I mean, of course; completely off their collective face.

Saw the Concretes last night, for free, and had some cake. Glasgow is good to me.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 13 March 2006 12:03 (twenty years ago)

Concretes were superb. After all the palaver of traipsing through the snow to get there and worrying about getting home (in the end we got a lift, so it was all good) they had to deliver the goods. And they did. Those Swedes know how to warm the soul.

My street (Gardner St) is in the Herald today. People were sledging down it yesterday and it was a slushy nightmare today.
If anyone lives near Clouston St go check out the awesome snowman someone built. It's like 4 massive snowballs piled on top of each other, with trees for arms (well, branches).

― stew!, Monday, 13 March 2006 12:22 (twenty years ago)

I'm imagining something on the scale of the Stay Puft Man from Ghostbusters, with entire tree trunks for arms. Must get to Clouston St.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 13 March 2006 13:57 (twenty years ago)

You're not far off, Ally.

― stew!, Monday, 13 March 2006 15:09 (twenty years ago)

glasgow?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 16 March 2006 20:30 (twenty years ago)

I know...

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 16 March 2006 20:33 (twenty years ago)

I think my deferred Trying More is now confirmed for w/c 24th April (it'll probably become more definite when I'm on holiday) so I propose aldoFAP2006 for Thurs 27th.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 17 March 2006 09:29 (twenty years ago)

I am already quadruple booked, for thurs the 27th

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 17 March 2006 09:34 (twenty years ago)

I would think "washing your hair" probably counts as quadruple booking, in your case, yes.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 17 March 2006 12:30 (twenty years ago)

: o

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 17 March 2006 12:48 (twenty years ago)

aldoFAP2006 for Thurs 27th

triptych. mogwai. edinburgh. come.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 17 March 2006 14:04 (twenty years ago)

Work. Unlikely.

Might be able to do another night that week.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 17 March 2006 14:24 (twenty years ago)

Next Saturday I think I'm going to start drinking around 3pm. Wanna join me? I want to be ratfaced by midnight, when I will turn 31.
Message ends.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 25 March 2006 16:08 (twenty years ago)

(You do not have to show up at 3pm - any time after that is fine. Location TBC)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 25 March 2006 16:12 (twenty years ago)

(Message ends for real)

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 25 March 2006 16:13 (twenty years ago)

I was rather ratfaced, last night

I will try, again, next week, but it is exhausting!!!

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 26 March 2006 18:53 (twenty years ago)

I was also rather ratfaced last night. I am suffering today for it, but I am treating it as "practice". I shall be up for the long-haul next week, I would have thought.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 26 March 2006 18:57 (twenty years ago)

aldoFAP needs to be on or after the 26th for financial purposes. Otherwise I shall be sitting in the corner drinking water like a poor person.

Problem with smoking ban = lack of opportunity to laugh at pished Grimly Fiendish for forgetting he's stopped smoking and buying a whole packet of cigarettes then giving them all away because he's remembered he's stopped smoking (see also aldo and onimo).

Hello. I have quite clearly been away from the board as I have been a little busy of late. I have things to show for it which some of you may be interested in - www.updatescotland.com

Comments & crits welcome.

hey neil! sorry i've not been in touch. things hectic and a tad shit right now. will e-mail soon.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 12:32 (twenty years ago)

No bother.

― hmmm (hmmm), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 12:43 (twenty years ago)

Right, I'm cream crackered after a week learning how to get millionnaires to give you their cash, so here is the new buffday plan:

6pm, Ichiban. Later, Mono.

I figured Ichiban is one of the few places a number of people can go to eat without needing to book a table and try to work out numbers in advance and all that malarkey. Anyone wanting to do the food bit will have to get there close to six o'clock so we can sit together, I guess.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 1 April 2006 09:11 (twenty years ago)

We'll be there!

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 1 April 2006 09:53 (twenty years ago)

Excellent!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 1 April 2006 10:25 (twenty years ago)

(can you get a millionaire to give me some cash please?)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 1 April 2006 10:34 (twenty years ago)

Unfortunately, I'm not sure you have a convincing enough philanthropic case.
