Happy birthday, Madchen. Good photos, whoever took 'em.

Hey! I'm going to be in Glasgow again on Thursday the 13th of April for one night only. My big bro is getting married on the Saturday and half of Dublin is coming over for the wedding.

Last time I spent a night in Glasgow, I stayed in the Jurys Inn on Jamaica St because it was cheap. It was also horrible, however (I don't like coming down to my breakfast in the morning to find a load of people already milling pints. And I don't like a sign in my room that says 'we do not advise you to leave your handbag or any other valuables in your room'). Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might stay that I won't fear getting stabbed. Note, I don't want to spend an absolute fortune either.

the jury's inn's inside can't be worse than its outside

Are you fapping, accentmonkey?

My parents usually stay at the Premier Travel Inn at Charing Cross. Currently at £51 for the night for a room - if it's just you, that's quite near, but I guess it's reasonable if accentbloke is coming too.

I am already booked, for next week

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 3 April 2006 16:43 (twenty years ago)

near = dear, obviously. I have no idea if it's near or not.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 3 April 2006 16:52 (twenty years ago)

The Travel Inn on the corner of George Street and Montrose Street is decent too.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 3 April 2006 17:56 (twenty years ago)

My parents stayed in a nice one near the cricket gound many years ago. Do not know name or tariffs, or nearness, but you won't get stabbed.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 09:04 (twenty years ago)

Not getting stabbed is my number one priority. Getting Fapped is number two priority. Any suggestions?

Thanks for those hotel names, I'll swing into action immediately.

Shallow advertising: I am playing a gig in Mono on the 13th, with some other people, if you (or anyone else) would like to come. Thank you.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:04 (twenty years ago)

I am already booked, for next week

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:06 (twenty years ago)

I'll be in sunny Surrey's trendy Woking that weekend, I'm afraid.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:09 (twenty years ago)

Hey, a gig sounds fun. I'll come to that! Marvellous. Sorted.

RJG, you'll be along, won't you?

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:40 (twenty years ago)

I am already booked, for next week

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:42 (twenty years ago)

Now you're double booked.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 13:01 (twenty years ago)

I forgot to say, it is FREE. RJG, you'll come?

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 15:42 (twenty years ago)

I hope so. I'm excited to meet RJG, who will certainly not let me down by being somewhere else.

Right?

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 15:43 (twenty years ago)

He just called to say he is 'in the process of cancelling flights'.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 15:45 (twenty years ago)

I am sorry, I am already booked, for next week

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 16:29 (twenty years ago)

i will be in Mono watching Ally do his thing, despite my work's stupid "no day off on Good Friday" policy.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 07:51 (twenty years ago)

Ugh. Would anyone like to watch the Arsenal game later, in a pub in town?

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 11:53 (twenty years ago)

I would, but I will be watching the Celtic game in a stadium in town. Sorry.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 11:54 (twenty years ago)

Get your priorities straight, woman. Oh, and no 'dodgy' defeats tonight, OK?

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 12:00 (twenty years ago)

Who do you think I am, Jim Jeffries? (see Scottish Football Predictions thread). I hope you enjoy the game.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 12:10 (twenty years ago)

I will be watching the arsenal game, in a living room, out of town

sorry dude

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 16:19 (twenty years ago)

I am alone in the world.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 16:58 (twenty years ago)

But almost finished work, at least. I just found a nice little case of benefit fraud.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 16:59 (twenty years ago)

You and Gillanders had best plan your Dublin trip soon - I'm getting impatient. You should start hatching a plan for that tonight.

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 17:37 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, maybe.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 20:59 (twenty years ago)

Lara, why not come to Glasgow next weekend? There's a big Byrne wedding on you could crash. Pretend to be our cousin. I'll vouch for you.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:06 (twenty years ago)

can i be your american cousin?
i hear the irish do it better. i need proof.

― dahlin (dahlin), Thursday, 6 April 2006 10:38 (twenty years ago)

Ask Dastoor ;-)

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 6 April 2006 19:00 (twenty years ago)

Calling Ally C. I have emailed you to your hotmail email to ask your advice on something. I am temporarily without a mobile phone once more.

Accentmonkey, what time will you be doing things on Thursday? I may now not be going to see Dot to Dot, since I have another friend in another band in another venue that night. Sorry :-(

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 6 April 2006 19:15 (twenty years ago)

I get in early on Thursday, so I could meet earlier if that's better. I've got no plans, and frankly the Vicar was giving the Glasgow massive such mad props last night that I am keen to meet as many people as I can.

Where's the gig on that you're going to, Ailsa? Is it possible to do both?

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 7 April 2006 06:18 (twenty years ago)

It's in Miso, which is on West Regent Street, and a very bizarre place for a gig (however the mister's cousin works there, and they serve posho nice cocktails, which is good). I've since found out that friend's band are also playing fairly locally on Saturday, so whether I go and see them on Thursday or Saturday is now entirely dependent on which, if any, day my brother comes down to see them. And whether I can get the day off on Friday (yes, I know it's Good Friday, but apparently that doesn't matter to the powers-that-decide-our-holidays).

Either way, I can be in a pub for after 5, how quickly after 5 depends on how city-centre-ish we are for early-doors drinking.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 7 April 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

i'm up for some kind of beer on thursday. a surprising and slightly odd set of circumstances and happenings at work mean i've no fucking idea when i'll be able to get away. but i'll be out. somewhere. at some point.

i think.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 10 April 2006 10:05 (twenty years ago)

Wearing a Power Rangers Suit?

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 10 April 2006 10:34 (twenty years ago)

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 10 April 2006 16:58 (twenty years ago)

and for the rest of your life

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 10 April 2006 18:24 (twenty years ago)

glasgow seems so far away

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 10 April 2006 18:30 (twenty years ago)

Wearing a Power Rangers Suit?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 10 April 2006 19:20 (twenty years ago)

Have a minion fetch it for you

― stet (stet), Monday, 10 April 2006 21:48 (twenty years ago)

I want minions.

In the meantime, here's one of my mini-yins:

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Monday, 10 April 2006 22:06 (twenty years ago)

OUCH!

gagging with cuteness!

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 12:02 (twenty years ago)

i had a dream featuring ally C and RJG and the guy who used to play sinbad in brookside.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 12:10 (twenty years ago)

As I predicted elsewhere, incompetent bastards at another company have delayed aldoFAP for at least three weeks, probably till the beginning of June. At least it won't clash with Mogwai.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 12:56 (twenty years ago)

And I should be able to go now!

Jed, sweetie, I think we need details.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 April 2006 13:02 (twenty years ago)

I'd do a lot of things, to see Sinbad and RJG in the same room.
