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.

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.

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 :)

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

25th or 29th OK by me.

Not that sort of coo! (though Highland coos are teh greatest thing ever)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 16 June 2006 14:17 (twenty years ago)

The missus and I are also thinking of trying Glasgow from the 29/6 - 3/7. Will foax be up for a full weekend of fappage?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Friday, 16 June 2006 15:25 (twenty years ago)

God, yeah. 29th should henceforth be marked in diaries as aldo-and-the-nipper-and-mrs-the-nipper-FAP.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 16 June 2006 21:55 (twenty years ago)

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

Congrats Ailsa. So do I. Well, another temp job at least - filing at the Procurator Fiscal's office. Big fun!

29th a possibility...

― Stew (stew s), Saturday, 17 June 2006 11:30 (twenty years ago)

Yay for jobs! Yay for pubs! hurrah!

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 17 June 2006 11:31 (twenty years ago)

top work, ailsa. i shall buy you a congratulatory pint once all the stuff with the balls and the grass has finished.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 17 June 2006 11:39 (twenty years ago)

It never ends! Celtic's pre-season friendlies start during the World Cup!!

Yay free pints!

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 17 June 2006 11:45 (twenty years ago)

BRWH on saturday.

when i find the person responsible for putting up those hideous Camera Obscura flyposters on every street corner in glasgow i intend to track them down and kill them. hideous. is it not illegal to do this? it should be.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:47 (twenty years ago)

did i say hideous?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 20:50 (twenty years ago)

Does everyone know Carey is a first-class brainbox?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Thursday, 22 June 2006 10:55 (twenty years ago)

I did suspect

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 22 June 2006 11:01 (twenty years ago)

Well done, The CareBear.

We are now going to be arriving in Glasgow on the 30th rather than the 29th, if anyone fancies coming out two nights in a row.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 22 June 2006 11:24 (twenty years ago)

carey = cilla black?

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 22 June 2006 11:26 (twenty years ago)

Fridays = much better idea for beer (also, Pop League). Any progress on aldo-FAP?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 14:29 (twenty years ago)

A hotel is being booked as we speak, in the centre.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 22 June 2006 15:38 (twenty years ago)

yay! Will you be up in time for early-doors drinking on Sunday? Plan a FAP please.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 15:57 (twenty years ago)

No, it will be Thursday, I'm afraid. I thought we said McSorley's? Time = whenever. Gerry, I can probably manage a Royal Burger before.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 22 June 2006 16:00 (twenty years ago)

Doesn't McSorleys on Thursday involve music and dancing and Swedish indie boys and things? Not that I don't like music and dancing and Swedish indie boys and things, but, y'know, ease of conversation and that?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 16:02 (twenty years ago)

Does it? I was just following Stacy's suggestion ^^^^^.

I dunno then, did Glasgow do that brewpub near the Green?

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 22 June 2006 16:13 (twenty years ago)

june 29=SOS (sounds of sweden) #2 at MacSorleys on jamaica street
cute swedish boys+music+alcohol+me
yeah!

I can't believe I loaded all million answers of this thread to copy'n'paste that.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 16:31 (twenty years ago)

Dahlin's creaky old work computer won't let her open to this thread. So she's asked me to post this.

thursday is SOS, yes, with live music and all that, yes. there happens to be a wetherspoons directly across the way, however, with large open spaces, (semi) quiet atmosphere and cheap food and beer. so y'all could do a pre-SOS dinner meet-up there if you like. alternatively, you could snag a table in the upstairs mezzanine/loft area of macsorleys to be a bit removed from it all.

as for friday, if you don't fancy the crowded heat of the woody, i will likely be a guest DJ at the chill ABC polar bar for dolly mixture's new night. so lots of space, girly tunes and air conditioning.

Now, I'm not convinced about the JD Weatherspoons pub across the road (Crystal Palace) being open, since it seemed quite closed the last time me and Onimo tried to go in for a pint. That was a few weeks ago, mind, perhaps it is back open again. But upstairs in McSorleys sounds good. I can be there very early doors indeed. (note hint at impending ruin)

I'm also theoretically up for the ABC on Friday as well. I HATE the lack of air-con in the Woodside, so cool places are, well, cool.

Basically, yay for Dahlin, a wise woman with GOOD IDEAS.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 17:23 (twenty years ago)

Upstairs at McSorley's sounds fine to me too. A plan.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 22 June 2006 19:05 (twenty years ago)

i'm working till 10 on the 29th but my route home takes me past mcsorley's door. i shall pop in for a pint or some.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:20 (twenty years ago)

I'm thinking I may schedule some sort of "meeting" away from the office on Friday (or ask for the morning off)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:23 (twenty years ago)

I am already booked, for the 29th.
:(

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 22 June 2006 22:27 (twenty years ago)

Oh well, I will see you on your holidays.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 23 June 2006 05:59 (twenty years ago)

I am already booked, for the 29th

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 23 June 2006 10:10 (twenty years ago)

Oh well, I will not see you on your holidays.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 23 June 2006 10:22 (twenty years ago)

Bumpity bump. Pub tomorrow, folks! Is NipperFAP happening also?

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 16:39 (twenty years ago)

I am already booked, for friday. :(

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 16:59 (twenty years ago)

Try other excuses, Glasgow :-)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:03 (twenty years ago)

is henry still coming?

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:20 (twenty years ago)

Oh, yes, that's Saturday as well, isn't it? (I will be in a pub watching the football, as I imagine Enrique would like to be)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:40 (twenty years ago)

I'll be popping along to McSorleys tomorrow for a friend's birthday (money permitting, fuck knows what the dole are doing) so I'll pop upstairs to see y'all at some point.

― Stew (stew s), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:54 (twenty years ago)

I thought you had a job again? I can't keep up.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:55 (twenty years ago)

I had forgotten people were visiting!

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 18:51 (twenty years ago)

Would it be controversial if we started a new thread titled in such a way that people would be aware that people are visiting?
