Universal is good for me. Station Bar less so (location not as great for escaping up Bath Street). In fact, Universal strikes me as the best suggestion we are going to get.

Ally C might be coming too, I was putting the squeeze on a bit last night, though I'm not sure I was successful.

(cozen, the bastille is miles away! - well a few hundred yards out of the area of maximum convenience)

xpost - or the "fantastic" Yates, scene of last night's Xmas party night out from hell (which probably progressed to Jumping Jaks but I escaped before getting the chance to find out)

Campus is good in the middle of the afternoon when drinks are £1 and you can play pool and air hockey. However, when other people start arriving, not so good.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 24 December 2005 00:39 (nineteen years ago)

universal does nice(ish) food as well. and one of the barmen is a big OMD fan. so hurrah.

it can get busy at lunchtime but they let you call ahead and reserve a table for lunch, even if it is of the liquid variety.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 24 December 2005 00:44 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, OK, sounds good to me. I could be tempted into a bit of lunch, I suppose. I can be there from opening time until about 1.45.

I'm now going to bed, so organise away, and consider me counted in.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 24 December 2005 00:49 (nineteen years ago)

fkn bastille; get a grip

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 24 December 2005 02:05 (nineteen years ago)

haha sorry!!! I am v.drunk

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 24 December 2005 02:08 (nineteen years ago)

Universal sounds like the place then. I'll work out how to get there and probably be there from about 12.

Universal is (I think) up the wee lane between the two bits of Watt Brothers on Hope Street.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 24 December 2005 10:44 (nineteen years ago)

According to the Glasgow pub finder, it looks pretty easy to find (even for someone as geographically challenged as me).

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Saturday, 24 December 2005 11:02 (nineteen years ago)

email me your mobile number before Tuesday and then we can communicate in case you get lost, if you want...

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 24 December 2005 11:03 (nineteen years ago)

i'll be there for 12.30. ailsa: you have my mobile number. aldo: you don't, but e-mail me if you want (use the webmail link thing rather than my screen address: it is valid, but not desperately reliable).

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 24 December 2005 12:32 (nineteen years ago)

what is happening... if anything... GLA?

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 26 December 2005 00:31 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's closed

I've had too much family I think

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 26 December 2005 00:36 (nineteen years ago)

Evenin'
Hope you've had a good Christmas folks.
I'm trying Stirling more. Good food, drink and a chance to relax.

― stew s, Monday, 26 December 2005 00:40 (nineteen years ago)

family's so funny

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 26 December 2005 00:42 (nineteen years ago)

optimo is on monday this week

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 26 December 2005 00:44 (nineteen years ago)

I'm off up the road now and won't be able to check ILX till the end of the week. See those who are coming out tomorrow, tomorrow.

ailsa, you should have my mobile number by now in yr email - if not, Gerry has it.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Monday, 26 December 2005 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

lunchtime FAPs are the way forward.

shame i now can't be arsed doing anything other than maybe having another couple of pints, but hey.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 14:14 (nineteen years ago)

hmm, what to do, this Friday/Saturday/Sunday?

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

we were discussing this at lunch. not making plans, i hasten to add - what do you expect, blood? - but discussing.

i'm spoken for on friday and saturday - but not so spoken-for that i can't make detours. once there are firmer plans in place, i shall be able to work something out. when do you arrive?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

weather permitting, late Friday afternoon. should be quite flexible so no need to plan that urgently (ha).

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to glasgow, today

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

even as I type glasgow allstars Ally C and Cozen are in teh shops.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

I am not spoken for at all over New Year, so plan away and I will be there. Cheers for lunchtime booze, Aldo, Grimly and (belatedly as I was leaving) Cozen. Panto was excellent. As was booze. As, unbelievably, was the Daily Record. I wish I'd had the mince and tatties though. Red or brown, Aldo?

I have now drunk a gallon(ish) of shiraz and several large irish-cointreau-coffees, and need to get back into glasgow tomorrow to deliver the parents to buchanan street. Anyone wishing booze, please phone. No work until january 4th!

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 01:20 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry Glasgow, slept through possible pintage opportunity. The sudden shock of going to bed before 5am for the first time in 5 days will take its toll tomorrow, I fear.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 01:30 (nineteen years ago)

I do hope so

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 01:38 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, the dickhead conundrum.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 01:43 (nineteen years ago)

your dickhead tormentor

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 01:46 (nineteen years ago)

Not so bad, in fact. Although this morning = coldest morning ever. Not pleasant with no heating.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 13:18 (nineteen years ago)

How was the panto?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 13:40 (nineteen years ago)

It was great. Pantos are brilliant! My dad (nearly 74) has never been to one in his life, and loved it. Crap jokes, ponies, sweeties, singalongs, audience participation, ridiculous costumes, all present and correct.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

and now ... it's behind you.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Ha :)

Pub, tomorrow?

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

aye!

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

Madchen and I will be there too.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 21:19 (nineteen years ago)

top! 'rah etc. station bar from 7.30ish, then, if anyone else is about. you'll get to meet my mate ciaran, who works for george lucas. and my mate nrom, who doesn't.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 22:34 (nineteen years ago)

I will be in the pub too!

Except in Edinburgh, with Alan Ross's wee brother. I will think of you.

― KeefW (kmw), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 23:04 (nineteen years ago)

al(l)an ross's wee brother! superb. i might have met him once: he was the one who looked a bit like momus, yeh?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 28 December 2005 23:06 (nineteen years ago)

Gah, I'm working tomorrow evening. All the same, a merry Christmas everyone, and a prosperous 2006!

― scotstvo (scotstvo), Thursday, 29 December 2005 02:42 (nineteen years ago)

I'm leaving now-ish, but not staying long, I don't think. People I have to see in Paisley, that I see even less than you lot. I just want to go to the Station Bar and I will be disappointed if it is not teh greatest pub in teh world.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 29 December 2005 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

Ally C, are you sure you're managing your profile as successfully as some of your bandmates?

― Mooro (Mooro), Thursday, 29 December 2005 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

is that bernard sumner on the left?

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 29 December 2005 23:10 (nineteen years ago)

Station Bar is teh RAWK! Big roaring fire, unintelligible but jovial barman and Springsteen on the jukebox. All FAPs should be held there from here on in.

My head is telling me I really shouldn't have stayed out drinking in Paisley until after 1 am (hurrah for ridiculous licensing laws!) when I got back though. Ow.

Yet, somehow, I will manage to struggle in this evening for Stevem'n'Alix-related bouze. Someone text me when there is a plan.

(stet, the s1n1st3r archives are knacked, so your secret's safe for now, hem hem, oops)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 30 December 2005 11:29 (nineteen years ago)

i think i'm still drunk. hurrah! which made dealing with this a lot more bearable. jesus wept!

actually, i think that deserves its own thread. hmm.

and please keep me posted about tonight too. i can only do early, but it would be lovely to meet steve and alix.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Friday, 30 December 2005 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

"Station Bar is teh RAWK! Big roaring fire, unintelligible but jovial barman and Springsteen on the jukebox. All FAPs should be held there from here on in."

SPRINGSTEEN on the jukebox? Aw man, all FAPs should DEFINITELY be held there from here on in.

― stew of the beard, Friday, 30 December 2005 13:58 (nineteen years ago)

Bumpity-bump, are people going for beer tonight? I have just received an offer to go ten-pin bowling with a six-year-old girl (and her dad), which shouldn't hinder later pubbage, but it would be nice to know one way or another what plans are. (I'm not going to NPL though)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 30 December 2005 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

I am going to NPL! Huzzah! And as Evan Dando is sold out, it looks like Mono for Hogmanay. Rah!

― stew!, Friday, 30 December 2005 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

There are still tickets for the post-gig ABC club.

― stet (stet), Friday, 30 December 2005 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, but Evan Dando/not Evan Dando/Mono etc are tomorrow. What are we doing TONIGHT!?!?!

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 30 December 2005 17:00 (nineteen years ago)
