Gah, Glasgow, MAKE ONE DECISION! The window of opportunity for getting a bus is drawing near...

Three judges, everyone. Come along and bring chocolate!

― stet (stet), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:14 (nineteen years ago)

No chocolate, but horrid levels of Scampi Fries. Erk. My head may hurt again tomorrow. Who would have thought that mobile phones were such fun?

Hey, happy New Year, Glasgow folk! Really good to make the acquaintance of some of you this year - one day, I will get to meet jed as well.

Is there farewell-to-steve-and-alix booze at any point tomorrow? I have an appointment with a First Division top of the table clash mid-afternoon, but it would nice for another chance to catch up before you two go away...

sorry ailsa, we just milled around the city centre most of Monday until it was time to get the train - nice to see you and everyone else over the weekend though. we had a good time.

sorry i didn't see you. "haste ye back", as the big banners at the highland games always say.

Hey, I believe Belle and Sebastian are playing some gigs next week. So, might people be going to the pub? I'm going to the gig on Tuesday, and I believe Miss Madchen is too. Can we do some pubbing or eating or both beforehand please? If people are gigging other nights instead, I am, of course, up for pubbing. And if people aren't gigging, can we go to the pub anyway?

RJG, have you heard Will Oldham's version of 'Thunder Road' yet? & if so, what do you think?

Success or sacrilege?

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 9 January 2006 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

All those women are shorter than Patrick, and two of them are even wearing heels!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 10:14 (nineteen years ago)

ridiculous

no, DM, I haven't heard WO's TR but I think I did hear about it, though

I will try to download it ASAP

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 10:28 (nineteen years ago)

The WO cover isn't bad at all. He makes the melody much more downbeat and Tortoise add some dubious but dramatic synth. Doesn't have the power of the Boss's version, but it's an interesting take, closer to the the version on the live box set as opposed to the studio original.

Bold & the Brave is a great covers album. The version of Elton John's Daniel steals the show. No shit!

Happy new year to Glasgow ILXORS! Anyone going to Herman Dune on Thurs?

― stew!, Tuesday, 10 January 2006 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

anyone stay in dundee?

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

not for more than a couple of hours

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 14:44 (nineteen years ago)

Top Ten Tourist Destination, apparently. Glasgow, I mean.

Personally, I think this is madness.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

People are that keen to visit the first FOPP?

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

they'd have to be pretty keen

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 15:23 (nineteen years ago)

anyone know anything about shoe making courses in glasgow? jed?

it's not for me

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

Loads of old cobblers, mate.

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 18:00 (nineteen years ago)

it's not for me

How do you know till you've tried it?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 18:04 (nineteen years ago)

I bought the Strokes' "Is This Is" in the Fopp in Dundee. I was not aware it was the first, merely my first.

― Gukbe (lokar), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

hm; can't find any information from www.google.com

― cozen (Cozen), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 18:56 (nineteen years ago)

How is Glasgow Dundee, or vice versa? I don't understand (like much of this thread). Why is no-one talking about going to the pub?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 19:15 (nineteen years ago)

I assumed stevem had mis-spelled FAP.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 19:40 (nineteen years ago)

Glasgow was the first, I think. The Atlantic soul triple thingy I bought when Steve and Lixi were here is a corker.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, Glasgow was the first - formerly A1 Records if I remember rightly - I went in its formative year when I was still a schoolchild, at a Glasgow University "open day" (i.e. thinly veiled excuse for record-shop-devoid schoolkid to get to the big city and spend LOTS OF MONEY). Gukbe invoked Dundee, and I wondered why?

Why aren't YOU talking about going to the pub?

― ailsa (ailsa), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

wow. hello matt. hello everyone

― dahlin (dahlin), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 23:06 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, I just realised that Matt was Matt. Hello Matt! Hello Dahlin!

A nice Glasgow story:

Life Without Buildings: Classic or Dud?

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 January 2006 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

Hello.

Belated Happy New Year to everyone. Stew and I bumped into each other yesterday as we now work in the same place. We discussed fappery. I'm working late next week so will have to skip the B&S related action but if any other plans are being made then let me know as it would be lovely to see you all.

― hmmm (hmmm), Friday, 13 January 2006 18:17 (nineteen years ago)

B&S are doing an in-store thing at 5 o'clock in Virgin round the corner from my work on Tuesday. There seems little point in me going home then coming back in for the gig, so some Sauchiehall Street/Bath Street fappage action would be good. I mean, I'll go to the pub on my own, but surely other people are going? Or want to go to the pub?

Proper fappage should maybe wait until the end of the month - I can't be the only one with too much January at the end of my pay packet.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 13 January 2006 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

I've got January in my overdraft, credit cards, and I've tapped about a fortnight from my mates. I'm robbing February now. But I'll be out for B&S. (Madchen paid, hura)

― stet (stet), Friday, 13 January 2006 18:25 (nineteen years ago)

Good. Pick a pub :)

(I am tapping from Neil and he doesn't even have a job, but that's because I've paid everything so far this month because I do have a job, but hugely underestimated the sheer volume of alcohol and resultant taxi fares that would be incurred over Christmas and also forgot that I got paid a fortnight early in December so lots of spending + extra two weeks to make money last = pov-stricken ailsa)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 13 January 2006 18:31 (nineteen years ago)

Is there a Winchester Club tonight? I lose track of these things.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 14 January 2006 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

It was last week. No one went. Blame was apportioned.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 14 January 2006 20:38 (nineteen years ago)

Nice one, peaches.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 14 January 2006 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

Oi, Mädchen, what are you and stet doing on Tuesday, post-work, pre-B&S? Food/drink?

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 14 January 2006 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

Coming home to get out of my manky work clothes, most likely. I should be out again around 6.30pm though, if you fancy getting some pre-theatre. Stet?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Saturday, 14 January 2006 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

yay! I shall be going to in-store thing at Virgin, but pre-theatre food thereafter sounds good, and cheap. Huzzah!

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 14 January 2006 21:19 (nineteen years ago)

accidentally requiemed a chinese takeaway

Protesters are expected to target ex-US secretary of state Colin Powell when he visits Glasgow to speak at a dinner.
He will address an event organised by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) at the Hilton Hotel on Monday evening.
The organisation said it was delighted to have secured Mr Powell's attendance at the fund-raising dinner.

However, pro-Palestinian activists plan to stage a protest while human rights campaigners want to raise the issue of CIA rendition flights with Mr Powell.

Mooro will try that Glasgow again this coming weekend. Garage Saturday night.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 16 January 2006 10:07 (nineteen years ago)

Sometimes I think I am still there.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Monday, 16 January 2006 10:32 (nineteen years ago)

is cafe hula nice?

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 16 January 2006 10:57 (nineteen years ago)

So, is Winchester Club still any good? I´ve been mildly harassed onto attending 11th February, but as it has already been pointed out, geocities site is not that useful to check schedules or anything :-(
