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

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 03:02 (nineteen years ago)

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

Even if Claire Danes is here?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 10:07 (nineteen years ago)

RJG, no! why?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 11:20 (nineteen years ago)

where will you go?

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 13:23 (nineteen years ago)

somewhere where no-one knows me just kidding

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 13:24 (nineteen years ago)

I don't ever want to be leaving

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

I am still trying to arrange Christmas schedules but FAPage on the 27th or 28th December may well be on offer.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

I'll be back in Glasgow at about 7.30pm on 28th December.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

― heh, Tuesday, 15 November 2005 13:50 (nineteen years ago)

― Jdubz (ex machina), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 14:05 (nineteen years ago)

very good

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 14:12 (nineteen years ago)

aldo - when come, bring butteries (Tesco has let me down)! I may well have daughterly duties to fulfil on 27th, but I can endeavour to send the parents back northwards to freezing northland in order for 28th FAPpage. Or delay their arrival until 28th in order for 27th FAPpage. ("sorry, parents, would love to do festive things with you but I'm off to the pub with mentalists instead").

Shall I just cancel Raeburns then?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 18:31 (nineteen years ago)

fappery/fappage/whatever the noun is on the 28th would probably suit me better than the 27th, but ... that all depends on how many ropey magazines i can cobble together before christmas to maximise day-off potential :)

aldo, yes, bring butteries. hundreds of the fuckers.

and yes, let's do raeburn's some time in the new year. assuming the horrific winter weather doesn't submerge paisley under 100ft of snow, or something.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 18:49 (nineteen years ago)

Also, LET'S GO CURLING!!! Or at least ice-skating! I am awaiting the new fake-snow indoor ski thingie that's opening down the road from me (I can see it out my window) like a very excited child, but in the meantime, we should make FAP-on-ice happen.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 19:24 (nineteen years ago)

I hope I get to Glasgow in time to go ice-skating in George Square. The boots always give me blisters and I get knackered after ten minutes but it is still worth the £8, I think.

― Cathy (Cathy), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

FAP-on-ice

count me the skidding fuck out. i've never been on a pair of skates in my life, and i certainly don't intend to start at the age of 30 ;)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:20 (nineteen years ago)

also: we'd spill our pints.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:22 (nineteen years ago)

I really meant curling, you don't need skates for that. I thought you were up for it when we talked about it when aldo was up the last time. However booze --> skating ---> more booze is good fun too. Honest. Or you can stand at the side with an over-priced mulled wine and pish yourself laughing instead.

No-one's going to want to do this, are they?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:29 (nineteen years ago)

Curling! I don't know about. I'd go skating though. As long as GF wasn't allowed to stand at the side sniggering when I fell.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:31 (nineteen years ago)

In that sentence, does GF stand for Grimly Fiendish or GirlFriend? Can we both laugh at you?

Im totally up for curling.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

x-post, assuming it means me:

no, when you fell i'd come slip-sliding over and drop a curling stone on your pods.

it'd be funny, honest.

as for being up for curling ... this rings a faint bell. i'd say "ah, but i was drunk" ... only i wasn't drinking that night. hmm.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:44 (nineteen years ago)

Stet, I notice that Grimly Fiendish has an unhealthy fascination with causing you pain in a particularly sensitive area. I'm sure you'd already noticed.

Let's go curling in Paisley! Or between Glasgow and Paisley!!

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

I'm sure you'd already noticed

wam! bash! zung! ooof! etc.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 23:08 (nineteen years ago)

*cups stones*

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 23:11 (nineteen years ago)

it's the two (amusingly mis-sized) stooges. glasgow should be delighted that it's getting all this top-quality entertainment for free.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 23:12 (nineteen years ago)

*cups stones*

Is that a curling term then?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 23:37 (nineteen years ago)

hello :)

cozen, no credit. yes to DFA. who else is coming?

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 23:50 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, sorry. Keep meaning to find out who's going and get tickets. Should just get my own, I guess.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 23:54 (nineteen years ago)

me & ally, apparently

how much?

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 00:51 (nineteen years ago)

eleven.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 01:02 (nineteen years ago)

i think

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 01:04 (nineteen years ago)

yes that's right. 11 in advance & 12 at the door.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 01:06 (nineteen years ago)

: )

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 01:17 (nineteen years ago)

yr welcome

in advance also allows you to join the faster moving queue i believe.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 01:23 (nineteen years ago)

try glasgow more.

― jeffrey (johnson), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 05:49 (nineteen years ago)

"apparently"

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 10:07 (nineteen years ago)

: )

I am going

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 10:11 (nineteen years ago)

OK, at massive personal sacrifice I will bring my last 6 butteries. (although I think I have found a recipe and may try making some)

Curling at Paisley on Weds 28th sounds ace. There are still pubs in Paisley you don't automatically get bottled in, aren't there?

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 10:24 (nineteen years ago)

"still"?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 10:42 (nineteen years ago)

I'm presuming AT SOME POINT IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND there were. I realise this logic may be flawed.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 11:01 (nineteen years ago)

Can anyone tell me anything about a pub called The Tap at 1055-1061 Sauchiehall Street? Apparently they have a pub quiz there on a Tuesday, and a friend is wondering if it would be suitable for a work team outing.
ta!

― alext (alext), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 12:39 (nineteen years ago)

It is a horrid studenty place.
