It was great when they used to just have bulk uplift on a set day every week. So, so easy.

Does anybody have recommendations for driving instructors in the Glasgow area, preferably south side? I have to finally bite the bullet and learn to drive in the new year. On a very quick web search - driving lessons are expensive!!

I can’t recommend a driving instructor, but I can wholeheartedly recommend Celentano’s, by the Cathedral. The feasting menu is astoundingly good value at £38, and includes one of the best plates of food I’ve ever eaten (beef rump, for the record). Great waiting staff too. A++ would totally go again.

Oh, I heard about that. Must try it soon.

I can also very much recommend Chateau-X which is the latest venture by Six by Nico.

I don't have a ticket but was thinking of it as I really enjoyed the Barrowlands gig.

Krakow, I might have a spare ticket - will know nearer the time, but it's quite likely
― ailsa, Saturday, 6 May 2023 21:48 (eleven months ago) link
Thanks ailsa. Drop me a line if you do end up with a spare, in case we've not bought any in the meantime (my partner would probably come along too).

Crossposted from the thread about Gerry/Onimo from Aldo..try g___y more
Before the funeral, Ailsa and I are meeting for a beer in the scene of one of the most legendary Glasgow FAPs, the Alpen Lodge on Hope Street. So we don't go to an early morning service hanging and because it's a weeknight and we are all old it will just be a quiet few drinks and not a mad one like FAPs passing. Be in there about half 7/8 o'clock.
The Alpen Lodge, NOT ONIMONO

If anyone wants details of the funeral, shout at me
― ailsa, Sunday, 28 May 2023 01:14 (ten months ago) link
Oh yeah, this FAP will be on Tuesday night.
― ailsa, Sunday, 28 May 2023 01:45 (ten months ago) link
I can’t come up to Scotland this week any more and am really sorry to miss the funeral. I will raise a glass in Gerry’s honour, and put virtual arms around the shoulders of those of you who are going to be there x
― Madchen, Sunday, 28 May 2023 07:26 (ten months ago) link
Hope to make it along to the Lodge to raise a glass in memory etc
― Ward Fowler, Sunday, 28 May 2023 07:34 (ten months ago) link
I can't make tomorrow night, unfortunately, as we'll be over in Edinburgh. Sorry not to be able to join you.
― brain (krakow), Monday, 29 May 2023 21:56 (ten months ago) link
hi folks I've just this minute finished working and am absolutely knackered, so won't make it along tonight now. Apologies, and hope you have a good time. Best wishes for tomorrow.

It was great to see yez - If I'd had the foresight to book a hotel, I also wouldn't have run smack into kicking out time at Bruce Springsteen at Murrayfield.

Good to see folk. An excellently bizarre evening with the Alpen Lodge jukebox once more delivering the mood-appropriate goods.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 30 May 2023 23:25 (ten months ago) link
thinking of you all today.
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 31 May 2023 08:16 (ten months ago) link
Yes, same here. A hard day for everyone. x
