Hardly "racist" though.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:22 (twenty years ago)

Unless your wife is black.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:23 (twenty years ago)

I assure you she is not.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:44 (twenty years ago)

this thread was good.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:45 (twenty years ago)

I don't have time to believe you.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:53 (twenty years ago)

What is in Aberdeen?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 13:58 (twenty years ago)

Only Cozen, and Amanda.

I say, only.

Yeah. Only.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

Perhaps it is ripe for a takeover.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:09 (twenty years ago)

I was thinking about having a Eurovision 'do'. Should I not, now?

Ailsa, it looks like I was a drunken fool with my chequebook. Also, his name is officially Byngo. He's Bonzo to me, though.

The only thing about you having a party is that it will depress me that 12 months have passed. Unless I'm in Aberdeen.

Those dogs are lusty.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

You should have one, Madchen. I don't think anyone else could top the cheese-on-cocktail-sticks brilliance of last year.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

I can't remember last year.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:30 (twenty years ago)

Last year was great! You had prepared melons! (Or were they pineapples?) I can't remember anything about the actual Eurovision though, except Britain being awful.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

I remember last year. It also depresses me. My place is bigger than your place. But I suppose we should consult the consensus. Plus, if it's at yours, I won't have to tidy up.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

I remember a lack of room at Madchen's. I think tiered seating might have to be introduced. Or sitting on laps. I don't mind Ally sitting on my lap, or Cathy. I think I draw the line at RJG.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

Melons? Really? Was it not cheese/pickled onion/pineapple on sticks, stuck in a foil-wrapped grapefruit?

I can re-arrange the furniture no problem. It is a big room, but I usually have it arranged to encourage a feeling of cosiness.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

I think the time for retro 70s nibbles has passed. I demand retro 90s nibbles - sun-dried tomato canapes and a pipe of Pringles.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

Also, Latvian whores.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

Perhaps Aberdeen will serve me better.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

I think ice-cream would probably do.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, OK.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

'Prepared Melons'. Phrase of the thread.

― Ally C (Ally C), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

cheese/pickled onion/pineapple on sticks, stuck in a foil-wrapped grapefruit

That's it! That was the most sophisticated nibble I have ever had.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:22 (twenty years ago)

It's time you tried other places.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

Haha, Madchen, maybe I should bid for him on ebay and we can have one each and split the difference in cost since I drunkenly egged you on.

Does Glasgow fancy a pint on Thursday? The mister is going to see Star Wars and we are going out for a meal first then I will be abandoned whilst he goes geeking at the cinema. I believe we will be in Budda for food and drinks (the West End version) should anyone wish to meet me for West End drinks and stuff afterwards.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 15:48 (twenty years ago)

"pipe of pringles"??????????????

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

Poor N., trying to look cool in the '90's by smoking his Pringles ....

― Mooro (Mooro), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

Madchen, I'm not sure that cheap Bonzo on ebay is a real Bonzo. Look at this one, it's much nicer...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=65007&item=7322180395&rd=1

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

He still costs £27.99 less than I paid! Actually, I think those three dogs in the one lot are real, but the seller doesn't quite know what she's got, so she hasn't used the right keywords for searchers and has just called them 'sylvac style' which would put a lot of people off them.

Anyway, right, I have decided I will definitely be doing Eurovision at my house again. The show kicks off at 8pm, so I'll be ready for you from 6pm, OK? No showing up after the first song like last year please. I'll make some proper food to go with Alba's pipe.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

Hurray! Do you have teletext?

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 20:04 (twenty years ago)

yes

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 17 May 2005 20:17 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Moldovan gypsy-rawk funsters Zdob si Zdub present their nation's first ever entry into Eurovision! HAI!

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 08:40 (twenty years ago)

www.eurovision.tv has all the lyrics, so I may print off song books for us all!

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 09:05 (twenty years ago)

well that was neither helpful nor useful.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 11:32 (twenty years ago)

it'll be fine.

anyway, thank you glasgow, again.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 11:44 (twenty years ago)

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to somerset, next month.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 12:28 (twenty years ago)

And I'm a Scottish tart.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 12:42 (twenty years ago)

You wish.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

Sigh.

There is that Joy Division tribute night tonight, which I'd completely forgotten about, but which Glasgow should be going to since we'll lose money if it doesn't.

It's at The Queens Club, on Queen St, from 9pm onwards.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 15:25 (twenty years ago)

Does no-one want to go for a pint with me tomorrow then?

*cries*

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

No. We hate you.

Actually it may be possible, only I had planned to perhaps do some shopping and then some washing and then nothing much. I will see how things go. Come out tonight!

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 15:32 (twenty years ago)

What Joy Division tribute night? There is one on 6 Music, but it's a tribute day.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 15:37 (twenty years ago)

You don't have to meet me until after 8 when the mister goes to the pictures. Plenty of time to shop and wash and stuff. I might just go home though, so don't worry.

Tonight I have to go win lots of beer vouchers in the pub quiz so I can celebrate/drown sorrows on Sunday. Also, I don't want to listen to Joy Division all night. Sorry.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

It is Gav's thing, I dunno. It's the 25th anniversary of Curtis' death. Some bands will be playing JD covers, I think. I'm scared no one will be there.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 18 May 2005 15:42 (twenty years ago)

what's neil seeing at the flicks? {a joke I can't think of}?

Oh, I'd go with him if it was that. Sadly it will be that Star Wars episode 3/6/who-the-fuck-cares thingymajig that is quite popular with and important to some folks who aren't me.

erm, xpost. Though even that looks better than Star Wars
