falafel now

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 1 June 2006 16:09 (twenty years ago)

want to go to fazzi's and kokuryo

has anyone been and will you recommend?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 1 June 2006 16:10 (twenty years ago)

kokuryo is poor. fazzi's not been for years but i went through a phase of preferring sarti's before i learned to make that kind of typical italian food much better myself.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 1 June 2006 16:16 (twenty years ago)

fazzi's not that great, really.

― stet (stet), Thursday, 1 June 2006 16:40 (twenty years ago)

Oi, stet and madchen, stop communicating in teh foreign, you're like Glyn and Imogen.

(I babelfished it, so I know what you are on about now, though I had a kind of idea anyway)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 1 June 2006 16:44 (twenty years ago)

"dopo il calcio" is a superb phrase. i'm swiping it.

fazzi's is average. nothing to write home about at all.

can't do june 29th - will be on late shifts that week.

saturday 1st is a definite for NRQFAP. i'm kinda triple-booked that weekend but fuck it, i'll work something out.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 1 June 2006 17:02 (twenty years ago)

btw, Grimly, Onimo has a lovely picture of some comedy sideburns on his phone which you are going to be challenged to grow this year instead of a silly moustache.

Don't forget Hmmm's gig tomorrow night folks!

Here's what he has to say about it:

I'm playing at the 13th Note this Friday as part of an evening of awesome droney goodness.

The line up is as follows ....

Hotel, hotel
www.myspace.com/hotelhotel
"austin's hotel, hotel...playing quiet waves of noise that are light on form and heavy sleepy wandering..."
"evocative, harrowing, and elegant fare "
"atmospheric, heavy on the violins, wavering between pastoral and apocalyptic"

(Please check the tracks on the myspace, especially 'acceptance'. I reckon they're going to be pretty amazing)

PLUS

Lanterns

Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Hope to see you there!

Stet can't do the 29th either, so dopo il calcio it is.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 2 June 2006 10:10 (twenty years ago)

jed -- argh would but can't re sunday, but sat 1st: must fap.

― Enrique IX: The Mediator (Enrique), Friday, 2 June 2006 10:41 (twenty years ago)

I am already quadruple booked, for sat the 1st

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 2 June 2006 10:53 (twenty years ago)

Oi, Glasgow, are we going to watch football tomorrow?

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 2 June 2006 10:54 (twenty years ago)

Where? What time?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 2 June 2006 10:56 (twenty years ago)

It's a 2pm kick off.

FANCY A PERSIAN?

Do you get to pick your own chicken from a ~~tank~~ hen run?

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 2 June 2006 11:51 (twenty years ago)

Pub, people! I probably think it should be Walkabout, as that seems to be the Englishers pub of choice, but would happily countenance O'Henrys and its lovely ~~bottles of wine for a fiver~~ wonky tables under the big screen telly, or, actually, anywhere at all.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 2 June 2006 17:02 (twenty years ago)

MacPhabbs is good for teh telly footy, I'm told. Or tennants?

― stet (stet), Friday, 2 June 2006 17:35 (twenty years ago)

bottles of wine for a fiver?!

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 2 June 2006 17:36 (twenty years ago)

Auctioneers = bottles of wine for £4.69 - this almost killed me on my leaving night from work. We were there for seven hours!!

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 2 June 2006 18:57 (twenty years ago)

this thread should be renamed try eating in glasgow more or something
june 29=SOS (sounds of sweden) #2 at MacSorleys on jamaica street
cute swedish boys+music+alcohol+me
yeah!

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 5 June 2006 12:18 (twenty years ago)

This thread should be entitled "no-one goes out in Glasgow (except when food is involved) so stop trying to try it more"!

Cute swedish boys + music + alcohol + dahlin sounds like a top night. You might see me there!

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 5 June 2006 15:48 (twenty years ago)

this thread should be retitled "fuck gasgow, it never loads and when it does it take ages".

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 5 June 2006 16:16 (twenty years ago)

"glasgow: is it really worth it?"

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 5 June 2006 16:19 (twenty years ago)

"fuck gasgow, it never loads and when it does it take ages".

..and when it does, it's never worth the wait :-(

Will the arrival of a new Glaswegian ILXor warrant a FAP, do you think? Our visitor from the big down south didn't :-(

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 5 June 2006 16:46 (twenty years ago)

who was that?

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 5 June 2006 16:53 (twenty years ago)

Those of you who don't read the Watercooler thread may or may not know that beanz who posts on ILX is coming up to Glasgow today until Sunday. Drinking may occur at some point.

-- ailsa (ailsa.watso...), June 1st, 2006 11:40 AM. (ailsa) (later)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 5 June 2006 16:59 (twenty years ago)

Maybe if Beanz or somebody else had started a FAP thread, or if somebody had sent text messages or maybe an email...

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 05:49 (twenty years ago)

I posted it here! You replied about two posts later! I suggested going to watch the England game! It all faded out shortly thereafter. (it's not a big deal, really).

We manage to organise aldo-FAPs on here, why not anyone else's?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 06:19 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, Monday, there's a World Cup Pub Quiz on in Russells. (part of West End Festival, details here). Ally C to thread, etc.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 07:23 (twenty years ago)

i think i shall be avoiding pubs for the duration of that football thing.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 07:48 (twenty years ago)

Even for Onimo's birthday on Saturday? (dependent on Mrs Onimo letting him out, I think)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 07:51 (twenty years ago)

i'll be up north on saturday night. bugger. sorry, onimo!

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 08:13 (twenty years ago)

You about on Friday? Ath0le and I are coming through, I think.

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 13:39 (twenty years ago)

I don't know what's happening on Saturday yet. Mrs O is off the booze and all day drinking and watching three football matches isn't really appealing to her, despite me promising to fit "a nice meal" in there somewhere :)

I'll talk to her tonight and try to formulate some kind of plan.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 13:43 (twenty years ago)

We manage to organise aldo-FAPs on here, why not anyone else's?

Because I am special in everyone's books (except RJG's).

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 18:04 (twenty years ago)

(real answer - this thread is taking 6 years, 3 months and 8 days to load again)

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 20:17 (twenty years ago)

And why are we still here? Because it's worth it...

(Will Glasgow pay Jennifer Anniston to endorse it's thread, I wonder?)

― Lara (Lara), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 21:32 (twenty years ago)

You about on Friday? Ath0le and I are coming through, I think.

piss. i'm working till fucking midnight. you can come and keep me comp ... no, scratch that.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 21:48 (twenty years ago)

can i come?

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 08:17 (twenty years ago)

Yet again, work is almost organising me to be in glasgow, this time w/c 26th June. Having noted grimly's bemoaning of lack of FAP action, aldoFAP some time this week? Best option, as has been seen in previous years, is Thursday 29th which this time has the added attraction of NO FOOTBALL so we can all pay attention to each other. The best other option is probably the Sunday before (25th), but this may well have ENGERLAND FOOTBALL ACTION attached to it.

NB: My attendance is currently "80%", according to the company.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 16 June 2006 08:28 (twenty years ago)

once again, i recommend thursday, june 29 at macsorleys. yeeeeeaaaah
(no self interest here at all! noooooooooooooooooo)
and speaking of football, if anyone wants to come together to watch sweden (hopefully) kick some engerland ass on tuesday, i'll also be at macsorleys for that, with potentially free meatballs. mmmmmm meatballs.

― dahlin (dahlin), Friday, 16 June 2006 09:56 (twenty years ago)

That sounds like a PLAN - the football thing, not the cute swedish boys in bands thing. (have you become Swedish when I wasn't looking?)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 16 June 2006 10:00 (twenty years ago)

Sounds like a plan to me, as long as somebody lets me know where that is.

How did I guess the person with email notification would answer first?

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 16 June 2006 10:01 (twenty years ago)

I may manage the 29th. I'll get grief as it's last minute holiday packing night but I can have a last minute hungover holiday packing morning instead :)

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 16 June 2006 10:02 (twenty years ago)

MacSorley's is on Jamaica Street - next to the Crystal Palace.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 16 June 2006 10:03 (twenty years ago)

It's where I watched the peerless Gratis Quo.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Friday, 16 June 2006 10:03 (twenty years ago)

Really? You should mention that sometime... ;-P

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 16 June 2006 10:12 (twenty years ago)

I suspect a snowball has more chance of survival in hell than I do watching England in MacSorley's! /big wuss

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 16 June 2006 14:09 (twenty years ago)

25th or 29th OK by me.

I have a proper real job with proper real money to start on Monday! Coo!
