Highlight of my highlight-free week in Glasgow: last Tuesday, milling around the Food Hall downstairs at M&S, Argyle Street, minding my own business, a middle-aged lady rushes up to me excitedly and asks me (a) if I am "That Actor" and (b) do I know a "Rosemary Purdom" (Google proved unhelpful) who apparently also knows "That Actor." Sadly I could only reply to either question with a courteous, if bemused, negative.

I watched River City that evening and was satisfied that I resembled no one in the cast. Has Mac really been set up by Alice vis-a-vis the child porn or was he a perv to begin with?

Also, and finally, I have no intention of heading for the Bed Shed.

I don't know, where it is, your blog, RJG! I would like to read it!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 4 April 2005 09:56 (twenty years ago)

I'm sorry, I don't really have a blog, PJ.

Oh, you are a tease, RJG!

It's never too late to start a blog.

cozen, the spilling cavalier.

you were right, of course, pr:'bali funke'.

says who?

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 4 April 2005 11:49 (twenty years ago)

there is a song on diplo's 'favela on blast', the guy pronounces it like that. that's not really definitive I suppose cs it cd be singing intonation.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 4 April 2005 11:53 (twenty years ago)

Yet again, I totally forgot to try Glasgow more. Why didn't someone remind me. Though if Keith was naked, perhaps it was wise that I stayed away.

I blame the victory.

I just found a copy of Monday's Metro lying round the house. I wouldn't describe Cook as "enigmatic". I forgot to ask you why you are the chosen band for a night dedicated to female-led music?

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 6 April 2005 22:40 (twenty years ago)

i'm trying my glasgow trip again - fri 4/15 to sun 4/17.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 7 April 2005 12:06 (twenty years ago)

Metro? What is that? A homosexual magazine?

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 7 April 2005 12:10 (twenty years ago)

Winchester. Tonight. There will be homosexuals there, I hope. Do come.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 9 April 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I have no money since the exhaust just fell off my car. Give me a good reason why I should go (like, tell me who's playing, tell me I can stay at your house, tell me I can get in for nothing and have drinks bought for me all night, etc).

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 9 April 2005 11:50 (twenty years ago)

fergie's playing.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 9 April 2005 11:52 (twenty years ago)

Barry? Sir Alex? The Duchess of York?

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 9 April 2005 11:58 (twenty years ago)

I forgot about Fergie! I have been feeling not that excited about tonight, somehow. Now I am excited about tonight.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 9 April 2005 12:03 (twenty years ago)

I was thinking of visiting but I don't know.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 9 April 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

Think on.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 9 April 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

fergie's playing with what exactly?

― sarahluv, Saturday, 9 April 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

Wait and see!

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 9 April 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

I think I will wait and not see, actually.

fergie's hard life is reflected in his hard playing; it's so hard, in fact, that it's impossible.

it's a shame, to miss it.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 9 April 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

cook! you haven't? have you? bad cook.

i'm tired...i don't know which records to play. bah

― sarahluv, Saturday, 9 April 2005 15:15 (twenty years ago)

fergie just sent me a message, asking if I could arrange an electro-acoustic guitar, for them, for tonight, because theirs is broken.

I can't.

can you?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 9 April 2005 15:19 (twenty years ago)

i don't think so.

i am guitarless.

― sarahluv, Saturday, 9 April 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

anyone is welcome, to try.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 9 April 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

Glasgow was good to me, tonight. I got to dance to my own song, then Pat Nevin gave me a lift.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 10 April 2005 02:54 (twenty years ago)

I read your txt message in my sleep.

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 10 April 2005 07:33 (twenty years ago)

Theo Parrish anyone? Lauren?

Does Glasgow fancy helping the homeless on Thursday night (14th April)?

My boys Dead City Radio will be joined by very nice people Down the Tiny Steps, The B-Men, Adam Beattie and Therisingson at a benefit we've organised for the Big Issue.

It will take place at Barfly doors at 7pm.

Interested and kindly people can e-mail me for tickets or pay at the door!

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Sunday, 10 April 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)

ally, you met pat nevin? I am online for about a minute, but if you are pub quizzing text me and i will try and convince the mister to come with me...

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 10 April 2005 17:36 (twenty years ago)

ailsa, I saw you today. in glasgow central. you were five yards away, I should have shouted. I apologise for not shouting.

hi!

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 10 April 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

I was in Glasgow Central lots. First time, I was in a hurry, second time I was just ambling and trying to blend in with Hearts fans since I'd just got off a train with about a thousand of them, third time I was a bit tipsy. I didn't see you anyway.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 11 April 2005 05:10 (twenty years ago)

jed, i believe ally's band is playing on friday. also, there's an optimo-related fundraiser for sudan relief efforts at the brunswick hotel.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 11 April 2005 09:50 (twenty years ago)

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 11 April 2005 11:49 (twenty years ago)

but now, you know about those things and can plan accordingly.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 11 April 2005 11:49 (twenty years ago)

Did you find a guitar for Fergie?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 11 April 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

I wondered why she wasn't at the wedding.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 11 April 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Monday, 11 April 2005 14:25 (twenty years ago)

lauren - the brunswick hotel fundraiser is actualy optimo unrelated. however, you should come on sunday for one drink. i can arrange for the doormen to have you escorted from the premises on the stroke of midnight to allieviate any concerns of missing monday. if not, enjoy yr glasgow weekend!
