I actually can't remember what spiel my "look up the dictionary definition of a song" thing was, was it a rant at Alba? I did a few of those I think but it's a blur now!

Does anyone want to join me for FREE WINE on 12th May at 6pm? It's at the SECC and you have to pretend you're interested in antiques. I can take 3 people with me. Do you need persuading? FREE WINE.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 28 April 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

Free wine? That sounds like exactly the kind of thing that floats my boat. I watch Bargain Hunt sometimes, does that qualify me to kid on I care about antiques?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 28 April 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

It'll do!

I met an old woman who was thrown out of aberdeen graveyard for singing christmas carols in april, today.

This is not about Glasgow. Either I had a dream about Cozen or I just thought about Cozen, yesterday. I wonder if there is still time to try Aberdeen.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 8 May 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

I might try Edinburgh.

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 9 May 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

I just saw Patrick at Queen Street Station. I was with two work people and we both acted embarrassed.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 9 May 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

Patrick is taking my picture, tonight!

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 9 May 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

what about glasgow?

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 9 May 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

Hopefully see you, in the house, in Glasgow, RJG!

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 9 May 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

It's funny, I was in the Architecture Building and I wondered, as I always do, if I would bump into RJG. Patrick at Queen Street I'd never have guessed.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 9 May 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

I am only ever in the AB 10PM-10AM.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 9 May 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

I think you should actively look for RJG in the Architecture Buildings, by peeping through the little windows in the doors. Hopefully, somewhere they will be having a slide show, probably of buildings, and you will spot RJG by his massive quiff casting a mighty shadow over the screen.

Madchen, please tell me about FREE WINE! I am currently drinking nearly free wine, as Tesco across the road from my house are selling their own brand Australian Red for £1.89 per bottle, with a 5% discount if you buy six bottles. This is, like, almost free. And I don't have to go to the SECC to drink it (however, I also don't have Madchen's company, so swings and roundabouts, innit)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 9 May 2005 15:36 (twenty years ago)

But does it taste like vinegar?

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 9 May 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

No, it doesn't. It is surprisingly OK for the price. Offer ends tomorrow so I may go and buy more.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 9 May 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

surely, every building is an architecture building.

yes, that was twatty.

sadly there is no time left to try aberdeen.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 9 May 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

Why? Did you destroy it when you left?

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 9 May 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

Tim, it would be rude not to!

― KeefW (kmw), Monday, 9 May 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)

(Although I thought you'd weaned yourself off of ILX)

― KeefW (kmw), Monday, 9 May 2005 17:05 (twenty years ago)

'off of'?

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 9 May 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

Is that ungrammatical? I wouldn't know.

― KeefW (kmw), Monday, 9 May 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

Great Jefferson Starship record by the way... Cheers!

― KeefW (kmw), Monday, 9 May 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

Aberdeen weekend after next? Not possible?

― Ally C (Ally C), Monday, 9 May 2005 22:26 (twenty years ago)

I'll see what I can do.

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 06:25 (twenty years ago)

Ailsa, I'm not sure I can go any more - I am going away on Friday morning and if I don't do some packing between now and then I will have nothing to wear and I am already doing stuff tonight and tomorrow so Thursday is my only chance. There are no names on the tickets, so I can post you them if you want. I got another one the other day, so there are now 6 free places if you want to take people. Sorry! I am disorganised and should have done less faffing at the weekend.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 09:30 (twenty years ago)

Oh, don't worry about it. I'm not that desperate for free wine, honest, I just thought it would be a good excuse to go out with you for booze. Where are you going, when are you back and do you want to take me shopping, with me providing food/booze/coffee breaks as and when required?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

are we at the beginning of the end of an era?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 16:57 (twenty years ago)

What, me starting voluntarily going shopping, or me turning down free booze? Or something else entirely?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:02 (twenty years ago)

Goodbye, 148.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

Where will I go?

: ((((

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

Eh? What? Where are you going?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

I used to go to 148, far too often. Maybe now I'll have to go to Spain.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

Who is having to move out of R3nfr3w Str33t, & why, please?

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

WE DEMAND ANSWERS!!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

They finally caught up with Khan. Glasgow, find us a beautiful 3 bedroom place by July, please.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 07:03 (twenty years ago)

...that is cheap, central and has understanding neighbours...

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 07:34 (twenty years ago)

...and at least one warm room.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 07:34 (twenty years ago)

Ailsa, I'm being organised and Thursday could be back on - call me!

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 07:35 (twenty years ago)

You live on Wenfoo Stweet? I don't know why it has to be in code, but still...

I think, where I would most like to live in Glasgow, now, in my 'middle youth', is in the Merchant City.

Sadly, I believe this is impossible.

I would also like to live in Marlow, I have decided.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 07:46 (twenty years ago)

they are building 10000000000 new flats, every day, in the merchant city, PJ.

unfortunately, all 10000000000 of them cost 10000000000 pounds, probably.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 08:42 (twenty years ago)

Nah, the new ones are all for students (probably the ones who will have to live there once they've sold off Jordanhill). I live in Merchant City East, according to some estate agents.

I am waiting to find out when I can Try Dublin More.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 08:59 (twenty years ago)

It was the students I was hoping to avoid. I will have to think again.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 09:12 (twenty years ago)

Now I want a house. Probably in Portland.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 09:35 (twenty years ago)

'for keith it's sausage heartache. it's alan who takes home the bacon...'

― dahlin (dahlin), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 10:44 (twenty years ago)

No, I'm not moving to Glasgow. I am just idly speculating on where I'd like to live if I did. But I'm not. I doubt I ever will. But I wouldn't mind, all else being equal. Which it isn't.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 10:57 (twenty years ago)

are they tearing 148 down?

just when you find out nitsuh lives below you, too.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 13:03 (twenty years ago)

do I want to interview ariel pink?

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 13:23 (twenty years ago)

Oh, poor Nitsuh. Ask Ariel Pink if he is a dick.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 13:46 (twenty years ago)
