try glasgow more

£1 beer does not render the concept of a club where you have a sticker with a number stuck on you then people write rude messages about what they'd like to do to a person of a certain number and put it on a wall any more bearable. We lasted approx half an hour, and that was just for beer. I'd actually rendered myself back sober again by this point.

this sounds like the kind of outing i could have gotten behind

Hang the FUCK on, how come my round of four beers cost me £12, then?

And is that what the numbers were for? I didn't even question that. Holy hellfire, I was drunk. Today is proving very, very tough.

Awesome night, anyway. Dr C fucking rules.

Special Brew was 3 quid a can

Miller was £1 a bottle, you should have asked. The only reason to go into twatty clubs is to ask the barman what is on promotion, then drink that.

^^^ otm

I bought bloody Miller! Fuck's *sake*. Irritating piss-taking club fuck-ends.

sorry I cdn't make it dr. c

can we do the same for tombot tho?

(I can't remember my password for my login :/)

Did you not buy Corona rather than Miller?

We were discussing upcoming Tombot FAP last night. Any excuse for more beer (though not as much as last night, unless it is a weekend or I have the day off. I'm just starting to feel vaguely human again) is good for me.

AH. That might have been it. Something yellow and fizzy in a bottle, anyway.

Tombot FAP: were we discussing that? I don't really remember ... oh, no, hang on, that was round about the time of the wasabi peas, wasn't it? Aye, it'd be good to get some unkent faces along, too: Krakow, Jim and anyone else who might fancy it?

weird night with added chilli puffs

but it was an absolute pleasure to meet everyone - Ailsa, Mr. Ailsa, Grimly, Stet, Keith and Lucy - you were fantastic company.

Yeah was great to meet you too... Until the next time.

Dr C, excessive alcohol has ruined me, so can't take you out for Celtic-watching japes. Was great to meet you though, sorry for lapsing into incoherent gibberish by the end of the night.

Grimly, tombotFAP was discussed earlier in the evening when we were still in the Pot Still.

It's OK Ailsa -I have a whiskey-tasting reception that I have to go to in an hour. Despite being in good shape this morning considering the ruin of last night, I shall not be partaking of any scotch just in case. Re: gibberish - I will try to email you later if I get the chance.

Sorry. I bailed. I just wasn't feeling into it last night.

Hi Dr C! It was good to see you. I can't believe you guys went to a student night six weeks before Freshers' Week ffs. Very glad I didn't partake of the poundbeers what with my early meeting and that.

Also, we did it! We organised a Glasgow FAP! Looking forward to seeing Tombot soon.

I may be able to make the Tombot FAP, depending on the day it happens.

i should have gone for fish & chips with you madchen!

and thus avoided club ruin

can only post few words at a time on telephone thing

so will have to say fragmentedly...

goodbye glasgow, as i am now on mr branson's...

..train. Found missing recds & bought stuff but...

didn't get to eat mock chops. So must return one day to do that!

It was very bad, cheap Chinese rather than F&C so you had a lucky escape. I forgot mock chops.

did you have a mock chop suey instead?

When's the next one then?

Lance Armstrong is in Glasgow today en route to the Tour Of Ireland on Thursday and he's doing an open invitation ride at 12pm from Paisley today! I'll be there! How excited am I? Very!

"Hey Glasgow - group ride starts at Ashtree House Hotel. 9 Orr Square. Paisley, Scotland. See you there at noon!!"

Graeme Obree turned up for the ride as well, along with about 300 others. There are a couple very jealous cyclists at work here who missed out on it.

Were you there? I rode harder and faster then I ever have in my life. It was an amazing experience, I'm still on a high from it. Being part of 300 cyclists blasting out of Paisley at >20mph in the pouring rain following Lance was a stunning thing.

I'm also on BBC Reporting Scotland: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/player/?item=44534835
Report starts at 9:30 minutes, you can see me in the blue jacket and black cycling cap taking my gloves off right in front of the camera at 9:52 onwards for a good few seconds.

I rode it fixed, with a laden courier bag, no lycra in sight, and managed to hold my own. Roadies eat that!

Bah, most exciting thing to happen in Paisley for years, and I was stuck at work.

I was at work as well. Good job Lance didn't give people much notice or he'd have given the police a big headache on U2/Arsenal chaos day.

Krakow where did the ride go? I heard they covered about 40km in just over an hour. Apparently Obree cycled up from Ayrshire and had already covered 52km before he arrived.

Couple of photos on this guy's flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bazzargh/

Here's the route: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Tour-de-Paisley

It was a bit more than an hour, but not as much as 90 minutes. Like I say, I've never ridden so fast in my life though.

Obree was there. Everyone would have ridden the 10 miles out to Paisley from Glasgow and then a hard going 10 miles back afterwards!

Except for Lance of course. Bloody lazy bones got a taxi!

update on TOMBOTFAP?

I've heard nothing!

are you coming?

So I've heard!

I should probably just e-mail keith and stet my phone number and we'll settle on details later

Right, so Tomboto in town this Fri to next. Guessing he'll be asleep on Fri and leaving the next, when in between suits?

I have to get up at 5.30am on Sunday, so would prefer not Saturday night if possible!

Anything suits me really, I think.

No longer jetlagged!

we're near Central Station if that helps

what happens?

what is up with all y'alls forty-year-old dudes sporting cargo pants with hoodies and trainers like they're nineteen

tombot beers tomorrow night?

Mono @ 8pm Wed is the place for a tombot beer.

(Tom: it's at King's Court. If you tell your cabbie it's opposite the 13th Note he'll know how to get there)

I'm too destitute to come out to meet the legendary hardman but surely 8pm on Wednesday isn't optimal since Scotland are playing the Netherlands at 19:30?
