I don't know when we are on. It opens at 8. Maybe 9 or 10, I suppose. Mr Twitch's things always scare me a little, but I'm sure it will be fun.

Mr Twitch's things always scare me a little

ha ha! how so?

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

on the internet in india, you mean?

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

*groan*

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I should be finished pigging out on our company expense account by then. Cozen, I shall rectify our near miss at Central by saying hi to you, if I see you.

(xpost - or maybe not, if you are going to make puns like that)

that should of course have read 'dial up' and above should have read 'glaswegians'.

my poor wee computer's keyboard is dying.

there's an h in dhal

stir, go to settings at the bottom of the page and check the box where it asks you something like "display last 50 answers only"

also good for the monster kompakt etc threads on ilm (you can override that option at any point an each thread).

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

thanks for the tip jed! i should have sussed that years ago.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 11 April 2005 18:35 (twenty years ago)

Mr Twitch's things always scare me because they are established as very cool and are full of very cool people and I am not very cool. But I have learned to not be scared of lots of other things, over the years, so it's OK. I have also learned that not being cool is not necessarily a barrier.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 11 April 2005 22:40 (twenty years ago)

ally cool

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 22:53 (twenty years ago)

Richie Rich.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 11 April 2005 22:59 (twenty years ago)

you're trying to refute my claim by making a completely outrageous counter-claim?

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:02 (twenty years ago)

being cool is the pits, don't be cool, be interesting!

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:08 (twenty years ago)

or if you can't be interesting just be nice!

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:08 (twenty years ago)

and if you can't be either just be quiet and mysterious.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:09 (twenty years ago)

people trying to be cool or thinking they are cool has always bewildered me as it just seems such a waste of energy. perhaps i'm subconciously jealous as i'm a blundering uncool bufoon. i sometimes think you are either born cool or uncool and in general the 'cool' gene is pretty scarce in scotland. this might be a good thing.

another thing that bewilders me is when people go to a club / bar etc. because they think it is the 'cool' place to go. what an odd reason to base your night out choice on.

jed is pretty cool though and manages to carry it off quite pleasantly.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:26 (twenty years ago)

and also unable to spell buffoon. good spelling skllz r cool.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:29 (twenty years ago)

aw man... :)

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 11 April 2005 23:40 (twenty years ago)

coolness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 13:07 (twenty years ago)

I think I may have encountered Samba YaBamba at some point

They played a pre-match thing at Celtic Park, shortly after we signed Rafael Scheidt. You may have erased this period from your memory.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 13:13 (twenty years ago)

Most people seem to have encountered Samba Ya Bamba at some point. I saw them at an International Refugee Week party, or maybe it was One World Week. I think G4vin Dunb4r may hate them more than any band on the face of the earth.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 13:17 (twenty years ago)

yeah they totally do my tits in as well.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 13:23 (twenty years ago)

the name doesn't inspire confidence.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

There is quite a lot of pressure I think in the Spanish department to like Sambayabamba. All the social events seem to revolve around them, somehow, and all the staff and the students go on about how amazing they are. I have managed to avoid them so far.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, thanks Gerry, I think that was where I saw them, and why I have chosen to forget them. They were probably also involved in my one and only excursion into Glasgow at Hogmanay, but the sheer volume of alcohol that was needed to get me into Glasgow City Council's idea of organised fun would mean I wouldn't remember that either.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 15:30 (twenty years ago)

the only time I ever went to the hive I encountered sambayabamya.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 15:37 (twenty years ago)

As if going to The Dive wasn't bad enough in itself...(although I can't remember hearing Sambayabamba, I'm taking it as read that they are rubbish)

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 15:41 (twenty years ago)

Who the fuck are Sambayabamba?

I looked in my wallet today and saw that I had a ticket for ESG, which I'd forgotten about. So that's good! (possibly).

I think I base my uncoolness on not having any idea what 'micro-house' means. Dastoor knows. He's coming over in a sec. I will try to steal his cool.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

sambayabamya.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't worry about not knowing who Sambayabamba are, since they so bad they are playing in the street outside the venue. Imagine being so bad that are you booked to not be in the venue, AND STILL AGREEING TO DO IT. I bet they're not as good as Murdoch, Jackson, Martin, Cooke and my old upstairs neighbour outside Bowlie.

I'm glad its not just me who doesn't know stuff about anything. I don't care about "cool" (I've just typed "cook" three times whilst trying to type "cool", but I don't mean it Al, honest), but I don't like it when whole big bunches of everything pass me by.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

SambaYaBamba - Brazilian Rhythms, Glasgow Style!

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

Oh, God.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

Today, Dot to Dot were described in the Metro as "belle and sebastian endorsed".

Tomorrow (in fact, later on today), alcohol permitting, I shall be trying Glasgow more.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 April 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

I will try glasgow, more, today.

what time are the festivities?

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 15 April 2005 06:06 (twenty years ago)

festivities for the restivities!

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 15 April 2005 06:34 (twenty years ago)

Wear your endorsement with pride, Dotters!

When will we have Dot to Dot recordings? I'm surprised Mooro isn't distributing them yet. I think his label should be called Professor Mooro Arty.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 15 April 2005 07:11 (twenty years ago)

sot to sot.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 15 April 2005 07:36 (twenty years ago)

My several requests to Cookie96 for recorded product have been studiously, lively and steadfastly ignored.

He can dance to his song in a club but I can neither dance nor sing, nor get my pained ass up to a place to hear him play.

Sigh.

He is just too big a cool pop star for me now, I guess.

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 15 April 2005 10:31 (twenty years ago)

Our time will come, Mooro.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 15 April 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)
