― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:34 (twenty years ago)

I found out.

ronan, ISS.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

wolf eyes, ronan, and optimo, all in the one weekend!

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

Glasgow is going to break the band for the next 3 weekends.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

It should be noted that Tim H arrives in Glasgow on 22nd April.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 15 April 2005 12:43 (twenty years ago)

Ah that's great! Tim H too!

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:01 (twenty years ago)

all this weekend needs now is ferrero rocher!

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:06 (twenty years ago)

toblerone carte d'or

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:19 (twenty years ago)

Don't forget that all Popkins activities must be planned around a possible trip to Carlisle! Who are playing at Burton this week, I believe, so they'll be bouyed up by a comfortable victory prior to the Exetr game.

Oh look, I missed an 'e' out of Exeter! Now they look like a Primal Scream B side.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 15 April 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

They should make XTR t-shirts. They'd make a fortune.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 15 April 2005 14:08 (twenty years ago)

so, what's the 411?

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 15 April 2005 15:53 (twenty years ago)

lauren and teamy are at stereo, waiting for a friend.

ally and me and cathy and patrick are in THE GOAT but there's nowhere to sit.

bot to bot are on stage at 9:30. does anyone, except them, care?

just kidding.

ally is crying, now.

― RJG at THE GOAT, Friday, 15 April 2005 17:59 (twenty years ago)

awww...damn the tube strike :(

― sarahluv, Friday, 15 April 2005 22:19 (twenty years ago)

Ally is the Bez of Dot to Dot. Cathy's new hair is ace. No-one came to Pin-up Nights but you all lose because it means you didn't get to dance to Mr Blue Sky. We gave up on it eventually, went downstairs to the real Fury Murrys and danced to Guns'n'Roses and Tiffany and Madonna and stuff instead.

Cozen, if you see this, I have a great big stinking hangover, but I may still be going for a hair-of-the-dog type recovery pint. I'll phone you if I don't die before then.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 16 April 2005 08:23 (twenty years ago)

thanks for the mobile broadcast, ailsa!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 16 April 2005 08:36 (twenty years ago)

Thanks, ailsa. I think I have decided to like my hair, or at least to stop whining about it. Although when I woke up this morning it looked scarily like ihttp://www.gokuboso.com/blog/archives/chucky.jpg

― Cathy (Cathy), Saturday, 16 April 2005 08:55 (twenty years ago)

my phone died, ailsa.

I'm sorry I couldn't receive your call, if you called.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 16 April 2005 11:03 (twenty years ago)

i want to see Cathy's hair!

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 16 April 2005 11:05 (twenty years ago)

I washed it and now I look like this again.

The upside is that Ally Cook is a very lovely man, today.

― Passive Little Mooro (Mooro), Saturday, 16 April 2005 19:07 (twenty years ago)

I see how long this thread is and feel like trying Glasgow again, even.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Saturday, 16 April 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

I didn't mean he looked like Bez, rather that his role is to dance inconsquentially shaking a tambourine whilst others do the difficult stuff. (this may only be for one song, however, he does do stuff the rest of the time).

Cozen, I texted you after the match to apologise for not phoning you before it. You'll find out if your phone resurrects itself. I didn't know it had died, my condolences.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 17 April 2005 11:06 (twenty years ago)

I might be trying this, in Glasgow.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Sunday, 17 April 2005 11:26 (twenty years ago)

I'm trying the extreme music from Finland next Friday myself.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Sunday, 17 April 2005 12:20 (twenty years ago)

I would like to go to that. But then I would also like to go to the other thing, RJG has told me.

I do sing a chorus too, on that song. It's not completely inconsequential. I can't do difficult things.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 17 April 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

Yes you can, you can spell inconsequential, which is more than I can manage, apparently.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 17 April 2005 19:58 (twenty years ago)

I met Cozen at Dolly Mixture. He was rather freaked out!
That was a cool night. Three cheers for Sharon and her team and Dot To Dot!

― Stew (stew s), Sunday, 17 April 2005 21:30 (twenty years ago)

I didn't meet Lauren at Dolly Mixture, but I stood next to her for a bit without knowing who she was, and RJG said "Have you met Lauren" but she left. Oh well.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 17 April 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

it was nice to meet you, stew.

I was a little freaked out, but good freaked.

it was nice to meet you, too, lauren.

hi nick!

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 18 April 2005 09:28 (twenty years ago)

thank you for the book. it made the ride home that much more pleasant.

at this point, i fear that i'll never meet jed.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 18 April 2005 09:58 (twenty years ago)

It is remarkable and good that Dot to Dot get so much better as time goes by without ever actually hearing them. I feel sorry for thsoe of you who have heard them and cannot share in my joy and amazement at their improvement.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 10:44 (twenty years ago)

I have got an mp3, of Dot to Dot!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 12:55 (twenty years ago)

Go on, tell them all you described it as

"superior jingle-jangle with a manic edge."

Some cookie96 fans would probably prefer their edges more Manc than Manics.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 18 April 2005 13:40 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I thought it was going to be post-punk angular funk, like The Pop Group or something. But it now transpires that it is in fact superior jingle-jangle with a manic edge. Identifiably Glaswegian, I thought, kind of like The Sound of Young Scotland with senile dementia. I'm not surprised Murdoch likes it, the self-perpertuating ponce. Is Cookie96(tears) singing? I thought the chorus was very good. Well done, Dot to Dot. I think you should get a SUPPORT SLOT.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 18 April 2005 14:08 (twenty years ago)

On Friday, we supported ourselves. Quite successfully. We will almost certainly come to London this summer. Begin the preparations.

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 18 April 2005 16:16 (twenty years ago)

sorry i missed you lauren. my excuse is boring as well as rubbish so i'll spare you it.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 18 April 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

Come to Maidenhead! Captive audience at Smokey Joe's!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

Am I right that Maaaaster Haaaapkins is coming to Glasgow on Friday?

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

Haaapkins begins the Devonian crusade in two moons time I believe.

I would like an MP3 of dot to dot, I think it would be a hoot

― Porkpie (porkpie), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:04 (twenty years ago)

He gets in Friday lunchtime I think, and I can't leave work until four so if anyone without a job wants to entertain him for a bit please feel free.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

Cool. I won't be drinking cider, but I will visit; although I do have a job so it'll be later. Maybe a cider-drinking crusty could entertain him by juggling, in the meantime. Can we assume 'plans' will be posted here?

― KeefW (kmw), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

I would like to take Tim to the Steps on Glassford Street. Probably just for one, because I think it's a Tennents pub, but I think he'll appreciate the decor.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

One Step closer to Belhaven.

I know. I know.
