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.)

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

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.

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.

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.

OI!

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

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.

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)

sorry.

WAKE UP, TO GUEST DJs!!

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 9 May 2004 23:14 (twenty-two years ago)

It's, true.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 10 May 2004 11:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Saturday = Eurovision. Wanna come over to mine for a party? It could also be a sort of housewarming/51 week anniversary of getting the keys.

You know you want to.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not sure I do but I probably will.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Ooh can I come? Even if RJG doesn't? I don't think I've missed a Eurovision since I was eight or nine, though I usually fall asleep before the end. I think I'm voting for Bosnia already.

Britain is still in isn't it? I thought we'd be relegated, but I vaguely remember being told that only no-money countries can be relegated, and we're exempt.

Turkey's song last year was brilliant.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I only meant I wasn't sure because I am not at full fitness (and one should be, really, for eurovision) and not because I don't want to be in madchen's house.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

We're exempt because it was our idea. Of course you can come. Does that email address work? I'll send you my real life address.

RJG, have you been in my house before? I'm thinking the only people who've been in my house are Ally, N, family and non-Glasgow people. Oh, and my ex-boss.

I haven't been in your new house, no, even thought you have been, for a while. I like to leave my house as little as possible, as I'm sure many would testify.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks, Madchen. Yes my email should work.

I think I'm getting pity fatigue, RJG.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:20 (twenty-two years ago)

that's a pity.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:20 (twenty-two years ago)

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I should be putting these pictures on another thread.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:23 (twenty-two years ago)

No, it'll be OK when Scotland wins the competition & Eurovision tries Glasgow more because its hosting the event.

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I just noticed there's a proper Eurovision thread. For Eurovision purposes Scotland is just an unimportant province of England. Although if it were ever to break away, maybe it could be the new Ireland.
