there's a park just up from partick cricket ground, just down from my flat (on clarence drive.) it's just one hoop, fairly informal. I've never played basketball before but I think I did alright.

we should play some football again. N.?

if only ally c were here.

I'm at work and it's supposed to rain later.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 26 April 2004 09:27 (twenty-two years ago)

as i overheard on the lift today: one side said it was gonna be like this all week, the other said it was gonna rain.

It also hasn't snowed yet this april, and that is a given in Glasgow, so my bets are on a snowstorm by thursday.

are 'fred perry' satchels OK?

haha rain.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 26 April 2004 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

fred perry's not as cool as fruit of the loom. but still cool.

I tried edinburgh.

I had a job interview.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 1 May 2004 10:09 (twenty-two years ago)

imagine!

ryan air is making it very easy to try glasgow this month.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:37 (twenty-two years ago)

not for us.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:40 (twenty-two years ago)

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY FROM AMERICA TO GLASGOW WITH RYANAIR - THEIR PLANES ARE NOT EQUIPPED FOR THIS MAMMOTH JOURNEY AND YOU WILL FALL INTO THE SEA.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:41 (twenty-two years ago)

but the gner takes such a long time from new york.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

How do Ryanair's Boeing 737-800's get delivered from Seattle, please N.?

― Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:47 (twenty-two years ago)

BY THE GRACE OF ANGELS.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:49 (twenty-two years ago)

do the angels shout or sing?

― Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

THE HARPIES SING, THE ANGELS SIGH, THE PILOT CLOSES HIS EYES.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Lauren, you should come, yes. Glasgow is bright and beautitiful today, and this weather will surely not change by the end of the month. I think it would be nice if you came on a train across the Atlantic. It would be like Spirited Away. We will turn you into a pig.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:59 (twenty-two years ago)

beautitiful

Oh dear, I fear I have ruined everything.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 12:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't pretend like you didn't mean to do that.

N. can you explain why the GNER trains from King's Cross to Glasgow, via Edinburgh, take the same amount of time as the Virgin trains that go direct? Ye cannae change the laws of physics. (Llaws of physics, laws of physics.)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 1 May 2004 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Unfortunately, you cannae get around to upgrading the West Coast mainline, either.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I am going to try Glasgow some more between the 11th & 13th of June. Sally might try it even more than me, from the 9th to the 13th.

― Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 1 May 2004 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah good.

Supposedly, the first phase of the modernisation will have an effect from September, cutting half an hour off the London-Glasgow journey. The target is 4hrs 15mins by 2008.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

RJG says early in this thread "I have an idea".

I like the mystery of this - should it be left forever unexplained?

― the bellefox, Saturday, 1 May 2004 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Me and my real person will be up for that weekend of June, also.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Saturday, 1 May 2004 13:18 (twenty-two years ago)

That weekend has been somewhat fucked up by Belle and bloody Sebastian.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 1 May 2004 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Won't 10,000 cardie-wearing biscuit nibblers provide a pool from which to fill The Winchester Club? The B&S event is supposed to finish at 9 pm, after all.

― Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 1 May 2004 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, but evil Murdoch will no doubt overrun his set and then lead the impressionable children a merry dance to some 'aftershow party'.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I am to explain.

my words, to do so, are: there after show parties and poofs.

ally said I also have to say that the people that like belle & sebastian, these days, are mentalists and the national pop league john is DJing, after, maybe, who knows?

everyone, obviously, should want to see PIPAS. no mentalists, here.

crosspost

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 1 May 2004 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Get someone, say who used to be involved in the running of the Winch', and who might be on stage that afternoon/evening, to tell the people in the Botanical Gardens that they should go to see Pipas. Then get Pipas to play a late set of danceable tunes.

There is room for the Art School & you. It can all work out. (Failing this, you can tunnel into the Art School & sabotage their power supply or something.)

― Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 1 May 2004 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the only solution is to inflate Pipas and fly them from the Tennents brewery towers.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Lupe idea.

― Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 1 May 2004 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I am so looking forward to that weekend. B&S related shenanigans in Glasgow are always much fun. On a related note, I may be trying London more in July.

It has just occurred to me that I haven't really tried Glasgow since the March Winchester. Which seems wrong somehow.

Incidentally, "going to the Winchester" has taken on new levels of silliness chez us thanks to Shaun of the Dead. You should utilise this new-found fame somehow.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 1 May 2004 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

OI!

I'm about to depart, so I'll just mindlessly plug Shirokuma @ fireworks on Thursday night.

The Woodside Social Club
North Woodside Road, Glasgow

FAP you bastards

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Saturday, 1 May 2004 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

People behind me in the cinema tittered when Liz said "We're not going to the bloody Winchester again" or something. I wondered who they were.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Wasn't me. Or the other half. Unless you were at the Odeon at the Quay on Monday...

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 1 May 2004 16:02 (twenty-two years ago)

bear in mind that customs regulations regarding livestock/agriculture probably prohibig me from returning to america as a pig.
i hate ryan air. i don't know what i was thinking. i'm looking at cunard's site now, for fun. the queen mary 2 has its own planetarium, and a kennel.

― lauren (laurenp), Saturday, 1 May 2004 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

No sty?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

prohibig

See - it's starting already.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 1 May 2004 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Lauren, you could come as Beef Jerky. My beef jerky made it to Glasgow undiscovered.

― Madchen (Madchen), Saturday, 1 May 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I was going to post something so disgusting that you wouldn't have been able to believe it was realy me.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 1 May 2004 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

sp.

― Madchen (Madchen), Saturday, 1 May 2004 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

no sp.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 1 May 2004 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Close the curtains.

Jesus.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 1 May 2004 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

you should see my blisters.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 1 May 2004 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

stop being so fucking disgusting.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 1 May 2004 20:14 (twenty-two years ago)
