but that's true of any pub -- it's just that you can go in those pubs for the first time and not feel like you're witnessing When Barmen … Attack!

That blanc thing happened to some poor chump ahead of me at the crush on Saturday night. I stood for about five minutes watching various people get mauled in the apathy engine, and wandered off righteously angry. Er, and went back ten minutes later to buy a drink. Can't beat the man.

(Sorry if they're your friends though)

OK, if we go to Mono, I'm giving my money to Ally C and letting him go to the bar.

I take it we *are* going to Mono then, despite grumblings to the contrary. What time?

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 10 November 2005 23:48 (nineteen years ago)

I am not 'becoming' a cunt. I have been a cunt for quite some time, now.

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 11 November 2005 00:31 (nineteen years ago)

If we go to Mono, we let Ally go to the bar and pay for us with his own money.

It's going to be a bit windy, I here.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 11 November 2005 07:01 (nineteen years ago)

In my defence, I have just woken up.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 11 November 2005 07:07 (nineteen years ago)

The bar staff in Mono are lovely. I know it can take ages to get served when there's a gig on, but then that's the case everywhere. Paul and everyone were really helpful and accomodating when we did the Beard 4 launch there. So nyaahh! ;)

― Stew (stew s), Friday, 11 November 2005 08:15 (nineteen years ago)

That's because your Beard magazine was a passport to indie scenesterism, Stew.

Take care when driving on exposed routes such as bridges, or high open roads, delay your journey or find alternative routes if possible.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 11 November 2005 12:07 (nineteen years ago)

lovely != efficient, stew :)

that said, i now get chilled glasses with a coating of ice on them. for some reason.

so, tonight. shall i just meet you all in koshkemeer at 8, then?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 11 November 2005 12:36 (nineteen years ago)

OK, if we don't get blown off the bridge.

Nonsouthsiders: Mono any time before about 7.30pm?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 11 November 2005 12:50 (nineteen years ago)

what time are people going to mono? straight from work?

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 11 November 2005 13:15 (nineteen years ago)

I'll be at Mono by 7, hopefully sooner. As long as Skypark doesn't get blown down that is.

― stew (logged out), Friday, 11 November 2005 13:39 (nineteen years ago)

I'll be there 6.15 or so.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 11 November 2005 13:40 (nineteen years ago)

I guess I'll go ogle women in borders again

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 11 November 2005 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

I leave work at 5.00 but want to have a bath or maybe a shower if time's short. I can't see us getting to Mono before 7pm, especially with Stet's tardy habits.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 11 November 2005 14:12 (nineteen years ago)

Are you two still infectious?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 11 November 2005 14:57 (nineteen years ago)

I'll be in mono at some point. Not too sure when. No later than 7 I would imagine. I am also slightly handicapped by only knowing a couple of other people who are going. Would it be useful if I posted a photo of myself, if I can find one?

― hmmm (hmmm), Friday, 11 November 2005 15:28 (nineteen years ago)

yes.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 11 November 2005 15:29 (nineteen years ago)

Right, hang on.

― hmmm (hmmm), Friday, 11 November 2005 15:32 (nineteen years ago)

if i try flying less, i won't be able to try glasgow for nye. environment loses out in the face of my unquenchable appetite for party.

I am on the left.

― hmmm (hmmm), Friday, 11 November 2005 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

you should change your name to mmmm.... ;)

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 11 November 2005 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

jed, are you coming?

I heard DFA are in town... anyone?

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 11 November 2005 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

hmmm, were you at Dave's birthday thing at what used to be the Carnarvon, or am I confusing you with somebody else?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Friday, 11 November 2005 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

hmmm, if it wasn't for the fact i know i know you, if you see what i mean, i wouldn't recognise you at all. you look utterly rockin',

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 11 November 2005 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

hmmm, I think that was an insult

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 11 November 2005 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

no i am going to a birthday dinner.

who told you the DFA are in town?

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

in my world, nothing rocks more than "rockin'".

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 11 November 2005 17:50 (nineteen years ago)

Sigh, here I sit ready to leave, jacket on and quiff sharpened, yet Madchen's chattering on the phone to her sister and listening to De La Soul while futzing with make-up. What's a stet to do?

(We'll be late)

― stet (stet), Friday, 11 November 2005 19:11 (nineteen years ago)

you'll be kicked in the nuts.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 11 November 2005 19:27 (nineteen years ago)

Get a room.

― alext (alext), Friday, 11 November 2005 23:07 (nineteen years ago)

Thank you Glasgow. My head hurts. You rock, you lot, you really do.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 November 2005 11:26 (nineteen years ago)

bah. while you lot were off misbehavin, i was lolling around rejkevik alone with the cleanres like a moron while all my fellow passengers took advantage of the FREE LAYOVER TRIP TO THE BLUE LAGOON. duh! i am SUCH an idiot. btw, any requests for goods while i'm here (here being america, not iceland)? already on the milk duds, stetty boy.

― dahlin (dahlin), Saturday, 12 November 2005 11:41 (nineteen years ago)

dahlin: nothing less than dick cheney's head on a silver platter will do.

that was a top night. thank you all. sorry about forcing you to walk quarter of a mile in the pouring rain to the world's shuttest venue, but i'm sure you'll agree that the eventual choice was well worth it in the end. even though i've never, ever seen it before. actually, i'm not even sure it'll be there today when i look.

i trust everyone managed to find their way back north of the river again without being eaten by wolves/shot by bandits/etc?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

I had a nice taxi driver who played Sam Cooke all the way home. When I say "had" I mean I did it with him.

Sorry if I faded as the evening wore on. I made the mistake of listening when Ally whispered his theories of why our lives are a pathetic sham and the case he made was convincing.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 12 November 2005 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

Me and Hmmm managed to grab a taxi just outside Syxties. We didn't get any Sam Cooke. :(
Top night though. Nice to see the Bizarro World Glasgow (aka the South Side).

― Stew (stew s), Saturday, 12 November 2005 15:26 (nineteen years ago)

We had to wait sodding ages for a taxi. Then the cab firm phoned my back and said "your cab is outside". "I am outside" "Yeah, it's outside the Arches" "That's not much fucking use, blah, blah, blah".

I just read my emails and realised someone on the NPL mailing list had emailed to say "come to my jangle pop indie night on teh southside". It was very odd. But in a good way.

I feel quite broken today. I may have to pass on the Winchester.

In other news, I have just provisionally booked a table at Raeburns in Paisley for 10 people at 7pm on Friday 9th December. Doesn't have to be confirmed until the week before, but I thought with it being Christmas I would get in early - we can always change if that doesn't suit, but I thought I would take the early initiative. We can deal with it nearer the time.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 November 2005 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

Thinking about it, it wasn't really very jangly at all.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 12 November 2005 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

I have MEMORY LOSS.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

his theories of why our lives are a pathetic sham

are they the same as mine?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 17:59 (nineteen years ago)

I just remembered THROWING TABLE MATS LIKE FRISBEES! And SETTING FIRE TO TABLES!

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:00 (nineteen years ago)

(I mean I just remembered *about* those things, not that I actually *did* them)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:02 (nineteen years ago)

stet getting bollocked by the old woman in syxties was deeply amusing. i didn't know he did "contrite" as an emotion :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:05 (nineteen years ago)

That woman was rubbish. She poured me about three quarters a pint of Guinness then had to apologise that there wasn't any more left, so I got a bottom-of-the-barrel not-quite-a-pint and hmmm got a pint of lager. And I didn't get any money back. Though complaining may have been churlish since she could well have been within her rights to say "yes, but your lot set fire to a table".

Is this refreshing your memory any, Mädchen?

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:10 (nineteen years ago)

mädchen: could your memory loss by any chance be related to the jim beam and lemonade? that was weird. it tasted like a drink, only ... wrong.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:14 (nineteen years ago)

It was her timing that got me all contrite. I looked up in a brief moment of lucidity to find everyone pointing at me and goin "it was him!" and she looked well cross, so while I worked out what I'd done I thought the face-for-getting-a-row-from-a-teacher was the best plan.

Our taxi driver on the way home told exactly the same sorts of stories as the one on the way there -- the night the steeple fell down on Sauchiehall street -- but his were vastly more entertaining. And we were drunker, which could have had an effect.

Christ, 14.5% wine on an empty stomach. Mistake. Woodside anyone?

Madchen sez: "OOHHH COMMEE ONN!?"

(she's watching some football thing)

― stet (stet), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:16 (nineteen years ago)

we think we're going to stay in. although it's early days yet. we'll decide later. we're going out tomorrow for mrs fiendish's sister's birthday, and i could really do with a night off.
