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.

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.

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

bear in mind that customs regulations regarding livestock/agriculture probably prohibig me from returning to america as a pig.

No sty?

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

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.

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

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.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

or wales.

20 million can't be right.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

20 million can't be wrong!

I just realised the first Eurovision I remember clearly was in 1991, when France and Sweden drew but Sweden won because they had more 12s. 1991 is also the first year I remember knowing what year it was. So I haven't missed one since I was 6.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought 1987 was a double year when i was young.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Stop making us feel ancient. I've emailed you Cathy.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

so, what about that maryhill blowing up, again, eh?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

A double year? I don't understand.

Pretty much everything I know about European geography I learnt from Eurovision...

Thanks Madchen :)

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't really understand what i was getting at either. some how i thought that some years just go on twice as long as others. it seemed sensible at the time.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm going to go home in a bit and have a look. G20 might possibly be Glasgow's unluckiest postcode.
