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.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:21 (nineteen years ago)

I would really like to go out for more booze and fun tonight, but I feel a bit ill (I had half a pint of shandy whilst watching the Scotland game in the pub across the road) and I really don't think listening to the Hector Collectors will do anything to make that better. Some other time.

(Raeburns' house red is 14.5% as well. Just warning you, like. However random acts of violence and wilful fire-raising are de rigeur in Paisley, so you should be alright).

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

I have a text from last night that says otherwise. Text is bond, yo.
(xpost to hrzly fiendish)

― stet (stet), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

mrs fiendish says: "we'll see." and who am i to argue?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:26 (nineteen years ago)

meanwhile: count me in for raeburn's. this sounds top.

mrs fiendish says she might come too. i know that isn't helpful in terms of proper booking, but hey: being organised is over-rated.

or so i'm told.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

nb to anyone from raeburn's who might have reached this thread from a referral: we were lying about the flying table mats. and the pyromania.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:32 (nineteen years ago)

something immense has just happened in the world of football, sports fans. I'm not sure what.

― stet (stet), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:36 (nineteen years ago)

England have scored. Against Argentina. It's a big deal for them, despite it being a "friendly". (something to do with the Falklands, probably)

xpost - hahaha, sorry.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

I like very much that the care-o-meter has pi marked on it. In fact, I love that it has pi marked on it.

― hmmm (hmmm), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

ally: what was the name of that stars track, by the way?

i wish i could remember at what point my brain decided to stop me checking out stars. even the cover of the bloody album looks familiar. gah. anyway, i thought it was fantastic, whatever it was.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

The best Stars track is Elevator Love Letter. In fact, it's one of the two best indie tracks of this MILLENNIUM. Maybe.

I don't know if this is what Ally was talking about.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

it was the one they, er, played in teh club :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:17 (nineteen years ago)

I've just discovered the huge cut on my ear from that mat, fiendish. get one pair of running shoes

― stet (stet), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

*MIRTH*

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:21 (nineteen years ago)

no really! it's huge!

I'm going to get you. with a mat. unless mrs fiendish sees, when I'll look all contrite instead

― stet (stet), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

take a picture!

how the FUCK have you gone for 22 hours without noticing it? (mädchen: this q also applies to you.)

are you sure it was the mat, and not the sheer metaphorical power of that woman giving you a verbal clip round the earhole?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

Probably because they've just sobered up.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:34 (nineteen years ago)

Cozen - can I point you in the direction of the 'Hanne Hukkelberg - best thing since sliced bread' thread as I have just yousendited a sutekh mix of 'ease' which is really quite excellent.

― hmmm (hmmm), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

"ageless beauty", i think it was. it sounds very familiar.

"elevator love letter" also awesome, though.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

I did notice it the cut ear, but he was asleep so I couldn't say anything to him. I am, as M. Rossiter sang, sick, sober and sorry (that I won't be at the Winchester Club tonight). I am cradling a big cup of coffee and checking out the TV guide.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 12 November 2005 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

I am at tehh winhecster nad I am danicng....

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 12 November 2005 21:50 (nineteen years ago)

with your mac?!

i am drinking wine and watching madonna on parkinson. (not literally "on" parkinson. that would be wrong.)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 12 November 2005 22:16 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know anyone who works at mono

maybe cookie should get a job there instead of at a police station

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 13 November 2005 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

is cook a cop now? my, i've missed so much...
i agree, alba. i agree
and um... yeah
my dad is cheering a football score too, but it's of the helmeted mongrel variety.
do you miss me yet?

― dahlin (dahlin), Sunday, 13 November 2005 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

How did you enjoy Koshkemeer Glasgow?

― Rumpie, Monday, 14 November 2005 09:23 (nineteen years ago)

Num num! ~~Luckily~~ Sadly, I don't think anyone took any photographs.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 14 November 2005 11:21 (nineteen years ago)

i thought koshkemeer was superb. the kurdish kombo, or whatever it was called, was a veritable feast. hmmm's saucy thing looked tasty as fuck, and even alba's bizarre fruity dish looked, well, fruity.

it also came in at less than 13 quid a head for two courses, including corkage and service charge, which makes it a total fucking winner in my book.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 14 November 2005 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

mediocre

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 14 November 2005 11:50 (nineteen years ago)

yes, but you're notoriously hard to satisfy.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 14 November 2005 12:02 (nineteen years ago)

I am

: /

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 14 November 2005 12:05 (nineteen years ago)

Oh well, I'm not the Galloping Gourmet I thought then.

― Rumpie, Monday, 14 November 2005 12:21 (nineteen years ago)

haha, the mister was so jealous of you lot with your combo thing when he just had a measly rubbish kebab. I thought it was very good. Not as good as Cossachok, but maybe I just chose unwisely this time. However, yes, under £13 with a "buy two bottles of wine get the third three" Haddows across the road meaning approx £16 each for skull-damaging levels of booze and shitloads of food gives it the thumbs up from me.

The cheapness this month means I don't feel quite so bad about suggesting an expensive place + train fares for Try Glasgow More at Christmas food :) I guess January will be 2 for £5.99 in some JD Wetherspoons then...

I had a thought for Raeburns actually. Daytime menu is a bit cheaper than evening menu, so we could go on a Saturday afternoon instead. Except it would have to be the 3rd or the 17th December as the 10th would mean that Onimo and I would be at the football. If anyone hates me for picking somewhere v.v. expensive, I haven't paid a deposit yet so we can cancel it, and go another month when the festive menus are off (it's usually about £23 a head rather than £30 for the evening menu outwith December).

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 14 November 2005 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

i can't do the 3rd: i'm looking after my godson. no, seriously.

17th is do-able, i think, but i can't commit to daytimes quite so easily.

what does everyone else reckon? there's probably a lot to be said for waiting till the festivities are over, to be honest. i'd want a lot of value from that extra £7 :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 14 November 2005 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

If we went on the ninth it could be problematic for me because it's the same day as my work Christmas lunch. I'm very happy for this to be my excuse to escape, but I would already have been drinking lots and would probably fall asleep or throw up or something. Also, shall I be the one to mention Christmas cash shortages? Ugh, sorry to have to bring that up *spits* but the more I think about it, the more I lean towards a January dinner.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 14 November 2005 20:37 (nineteen years ago)

No, Mädchen, I had considered Christmas poverty too, hence why I threw it out for a suggestion so early (and I do have vague memories of you mentioning that you thought that might be your office do). We should maybe just Xmas-FAP in December and then Try Paisley More in January. I was couching it in "I don't feel quite so bad" sentiments because actually I did feel quite bad, but I didn't want to say.

May I humbly suggest Saturday December 17th for fappage since that's the day before my birthday? When is the December Winchester anyway? (I know Ally told me but I was suffering from excessive boozage at that point so I wasn't really retaining information)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 14 November 2005 22:36 (nineteen years ago)

My work Christmas night out: 9th.
Winchester featuring Bricolage vs Dot to Dot: 10th.

'Ageless Beauty', correct. The most immediate corker from a great last album. 'Your Ex-Lover Is Dead', 'Set Yourself On Fire' and 'What I'm Trying To Say' also very good. But they're almost all good.

Good night, on Friday.

I am thinking of leaving glasgow

― heh, Tuesday, 15 November 2005 04:34 (nineteen years ago)

Even if Claire Danes is here?
