Cool!

When is it?

Also, come to Edinburgh for mine in January.

18th December. It's a Saturday! I have made no plans, but maybe, if Glasgow is up for it, we could do something. In the evening, that is, I will be at Parkhead in the afternoon.

I haven't been in Edinburgh since I wrecked my leg at the Usher Hall. A trip through would be a good thing, I think.

jeez, did anyone go to ally's birthday? : /

I apologise, I'm sorry, I wish I could have made it down, not least to meet lara. : /

I am back in glasgow, the end of next week.

if you'll have me.

― cºzen (Cozen), Monday, 29 November 2004 00:22 (twenty years ago)

I didn't know Lara was there (not that that would have woken me up, but still...)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 29 November 2004 00:25 (twenty years ago)

Cook phoned me earlier in the evening and said "it would be funny if no-one turned up".

I wonder if it was.

I lost my virginity in the Eurohostel back in the days when it was a hall of residence.

I tore my trousers, for ally.

I feel dead ropey. I don't think I'm going to get a good, long night's sleep until tomorrow.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 14:57 (twenty years ago)

I didn't know Ailsa was a 'teuchter'. Is anybody else a 'teuchter'?

I'm moving.

can I come to glasgow on friday?

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 2 December 2004 20:54 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

I last tried Glasgow over 6 months ago. I wish I were going there again soon, like Sally is.

Here are some pictures from the last visit (apologies for non-topicality):

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 24 December 2004 12:53 (twenty years ago)

They are very good, those pictures.

I like the one, where a quiff protrudes into the corner of the frame, but its owner is nowhere to be seen.

Does RJG work in an ironmonger's?

― Puddin'Head Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 24 December 2004 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Several billion posts up there, Miss Madchen suggested that Mr Ailsa should apply for a job. Mrs Ailsa is pleased to report that Mr Ailsa has been selected for interview.

Merry Christmas Glasgow xx

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 24 December 2004 17:32 (twenty years ago)

I keep getting bigger.

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 24 December 2004 20:45 (twenty years ago)

Merry Christmas you cheeky monkeys. I'm totally bored already.

― KeithW (kmw), Friday, 24 December 2004 21:11 (twenty years ago)

Yay Mr Ailsa!! *crosses fingers*

― Madchen (Madchen), Saturday, 25 December 2004 10:17 (twenty years ago)

You glaikit sumph, Keith!

― Puddin'Head Miller (PJ Miller), Saturday, 25 December 2004 10:20 (twenty years ago)

Apparently it snowed in Glasgow yesterday. Which was nice. Especially for Stephen, who placed a bet (at 6-1) on that happening back in October.

So ker-ching for him today!

― Mooro (Mooro), Sunday, 26 December 2004 12:13 (twenty years ago)

lucky him!

ph as v, though?

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 26 December 2004 14:31 (twenty years ago)

Y, e, s, to ph, rather than, v.

wow i know not of this band's formation nor their appearence at the winchester club. now i'm sad that i've missed their debut show.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 10 January 2005 14:27 (twenty years ago)

I think somebody should Report Back on the Doctor Doc gig.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 10 January 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

It's Doctor Cock.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 10 January 2005 16:01 (twenty years ago)

(S. Murdoch has not been so excited about a band since The Rapture)

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 10 January 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

I wonder what his favourite band was, then.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 10 January 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

The computer has eaten my breathlessly excited contribution to this thread.

― Puddin'Head Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 10 January 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

I stood next to Alex Kapranos at the Woody after the Doctor Spock gig. Except he didn't arrive in time to see Ally. Shame on him. He missed some spectacularly out-of-tune guitaring and some arse wiggling (it got much better though). He's also much shorter than he looks, and in need of a shave. Not the dapper young man I think he thought was.

I will be out of the country the next time D2D play, which is rather a shame. I would maybe have become their stalker or something otherwise.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 10 January 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

I walked past the cathedral last night where the next gig will take place. I burst out laughing. I think I said 'fucking hell' out loud.

It is very big.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 10 January 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

Oh, AND - Winchester sold out for the first time ever! 300 bodies crammed together! A strangely fitting occasion, I suppose.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 10 January 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

Winchester Cathedral.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 10 January 2005 19:09 (twenty years ago)

Ally, Lucy has just said that "dot to dot are the most exciting band since the Rapture" on the Winchester club list... Who said it first, her; you; mental man Murdoch? Is it just coincidence. I think the Rapture are rubbish.

― KeithW (kmw), Monday, 10 January 2005 21:28 (twenty years ago)

I don't like The Rapture much myself. Murdoch, apparently, said it first. Maybe he doesn't like Ther Rapture either and that was his point.
