is this funny?

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 30 June 2006 22:43 (twenty years ago)

I checked them all: no

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 30 June 2006 22:46 (twenty years ago)

did you click the links and buy all the records from amazin' dot com?

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 30 June 2006 22:52 (twenty years ago)

All the following song displays are genuine - there has been no doctoring of the photos involved.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 30 June 2006 22:53 (twenty years ago)

yes: I should receive them early next week

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 30 June 2006 22:54 (twenty years ago)

A great opportunity to put a comma in the title has slipped past.

― stet (stet), Friday, 30 June 2006 23:29 (twenty years ago)

A bit disgusting.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 1 July 2006 00:41 (twenty years ago)

glasgow, don't try it

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 1 July 2006 00:42 (twenty years ago)

this feels weird.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 1 July 2006 09:10 (twenty years ago)

i hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 1 July 2006 09:50 (twenty years ago)

this was an awful mistake

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 1 July 2006 11:20 (twenty years ago)

can we go back now dad?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 1 July 2006 11:23 (twenty years ago)

No. The old thread doesn't load in opera mini any more.
what's plan for tonight?

― stet (stet), Saturday, 1 July 2006 12:47 (twenty years ago)

A new thread? It's like I don't know you people. What is this 'Glasgow'?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 1 July 2006 12:51 (twenty years ago)

there's a millipede in the reptile house.

Hmm.

From an old man outside Tennent's: Grandma Likes A Small Glass Of Whisky.

Grandma Likes A Small Glass Of Whisky

now THAT should have been the thread title.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 1 July 2006 16:23 (twenty years ago)

Going Later Are Some Guys Out Where?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 1 July 2006 16:26 (twenty years ago)

dunno. anyone?

(this new thread business is like ... i dunno, it's like going into pubs now the smoking ban's in force. in theory it makes SO MUCH SENSE and i can't possibly argue against it. but in practice i feel a little bereft, somehow. and hey: i'm a spectacular latecomer.)

we should toast the old thread! tonight. if we ever arrange anything.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 1 July 2006 17:01 (twenty years ago)

i haven't heard anything from enrique yet. i will go now and get credit so i can text him.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 1 July 2006 17:04 (twenty years ago)

ok, i've to arrange something then phone him back! how does Mcsorleys sound or mono? what about 9 or 9-30?

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 1 July 2006 17:21 (twenty years ago)

ok i dunno if mono is quite hard to find if you don't know glasgow. post me ideas and i'll call him back at 8.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 1 July 2006 17:22 (twenty years ago)

ach, mono isn't hard to find, really. if he can find the st enoch centre/king street/the trongate/a taxi, he can find mono.

but i'm biased, and not really fussed either way.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 1 July 2006 17:25 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to a gig at the Note, but I'll drop by Mono on the off chance you guys are around. Not going to be hanging around late though - those lovely Orange march bigots will no doubt be on the rampage.

― Stew (stew s), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:02 (twenty years ago)

yes, the orange marchers are noted for hanging around the galleries and indie haunts of king street :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:07 (twenty years ago)

ok mono it is then. i can't make it til 9-30 but i think enrq is wandering around hisself so earlier is better. if anone wants his phone number to arrange i'm sure it will be ok to give out if you email me colinohara @ gmail. but i'll call him and tell him how to get there and when i'll be there. is the record shop open at that time?

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:07 (twenty years ago)

It's not that, it's the bus home I'm worried about!

― Stew (stew s), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:08 (twenty years ago)

Record shop closes about 8pm usually.

― Stew (stew s), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:09 (twenty years ago)

erk, it'll be at least 9pm before i get there. call him, tell him how to get there, and tell him to look out for a little bloke with pointy sideburns, stubble and a black T-shirt with a barcode on it. that'll be me. i'll text ailsa, nick and stet ... i don't have anyone else's numbers, but ailsa does.

top. be good to meet you too, jed: i don't think i've had the pleasure, unless you were at the RAF club that time i can't remember very well :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:11 (twenty years ago)

excellent, you too simon. i just called him and said i would be there for 9-30 but that other may be there before. i think my directions were a bit pish but hopefully he'll find it. i'll jst email you his number to your bt if that helps.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:19 (twenty years ago)

RJG are you coming out?

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 1 July 2006 18:21 (twenty years ago)

yep!

Ow. My head hurts. Cheers, Glasgow. I met new people! Enrique and jed! Hello! Sorry I didn't get much of a chance to chat.

Can I just put on the record that "do you have any particular feelings about Harpenden?" is the greatest conversational opening gambit I have ever heard in my life. The fact that a conversation actually ensued made me smile inside. I wuv the internet and its attendant mentalists.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 2 July 2006 09:00 (twenty years ago)

what the bloody hell did i start drinking that ridiculous cider for? ah, i remember: it was all stet's fault. as usual :)

top night, although i was gubbed by the time i left. it's like drinking petrol. enrique, jed, JtN, mrs JtN, jed's boyf: lovely to meet you all. next time i'll do it without cider. gah.

those of you who were doing fun things today: have fun.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 2 July 2006 12:09 (twenty years ago)

i was really nervous to meet you all but relaxed pretty quickly, it was a good night! lovely to meet everyone finally & i'll def come to more FAPs now.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 2 July 2006 12:16 (twenty years ago)

Oh, no.

I do have to work late tomorrow, but should be at the Art School by 8pm at the latest.

― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 29 July 2015 20:38 (eleven years ago)

I don't think I'll be able to make it tonight in the end I'm afraid, just too many deadlines piling up. If I can nip up it will be early on though.

― NWOFHM! Overlord (krakow), Thursday, 30 July 2015 08:08 (eleven years ago)

Hmmm I am really struggling with deadlines, too - need to get pages off to a client before the weekend - would a reschedule be better?

― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Thursday, 30 July 2015 09:08 (eleven years ago)

Never change, glasgow.

― arbiter of sorrow (aldo), Thursday, 30 July 2015 09:19 (eleven years ago)

Let's ask xyz. I'm fairly easy and could do next week if required. I guess if depends onejo was coming in the first place!

― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Thursday, 30 July 2015 09:23 (eleven years ago)

Thanks jed, next week would really be better for me - but as you say, it's xyz who has to travel.

Alternatively, I could come up to Edinburgh one evening - still getting my head round the capital, even after all this time, so always happy to visit it.

― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Thursday, 30 July 2015 09:26 (eleven years ago)

Preferred this week as I might be a bit busier next week but I like to think I'll be able to work around.

Lets make it for next week - would Tuesday be ok for people?

― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 30 July 2015 09:45 (eleven years ago)

Next Tuesday much better for me, sorry for the inconvenience xyzzzz

― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Thursday, 30 July 2015 09:48 (eleven years ago)

No worries. if others can confirm on a day - think the earlier in the week the better it will be (suspect there will be a leaving do I won't be able to get out of)

― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 30 July 2015 10:00 (eleven years ago)

I *should* be able to make Tuesday.

― ailsa, Thursday, 30 July 2015 10:23 (eleven years ago)

mono?

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Thursday, 30 July 2015 12:15 (eleven years ago)

:-)

― ailsa, Thursday, 30 July 2015 12:21 (eleven years ago)

Love ya, Glasgow.

― Madchen, Thursday, 30 July 2015 12:45 (eleven years ago)

Just to let you all that Wednesday is occupied so tomorrow is the best day (perhaps thursday but lets stick to what we said if that's ok :-))

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 August 2015 17:47 (eleven years ago)

See you tomorrow (should be there by 7pm at the latest)

― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Monday, 3 August 2015 18:32 (eleven years ago)

Will do my very best!

― ailsa, Monday, 3 August 2015 19:48 (eleven years ago)

Great - see as many of you as poss then.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 August 2015 20:01 (eleven years ago)

I'll be there. Looking forward to meeting Ward too, f*cking disgrace we've never met. How about Onimo, who I've never met either!

― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Monday, 3 August 2015 20:53 (eleven years ago)

Is it still mono?

(I kid I kid)

Is it the Vale or the Art School - I lost track somewhere. I shall try to get along for a couple of beers and to meet everyone.

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Monday, 3 August 2015 20:57 (eleven years ago)

I'm curious about what put you guys off Mono. Isn't the vegan food is it?

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Monday, 3 August 2015 20:59 (eleven years ago)

Its at the art school, Scott street, keeping it straight for everyone (as well as myself)

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 August 2015 21:07 (eleven years ago)

xp I think it's ok tbh

iirc it became something of a running gag that no-one could ever think of anywhere else to meet up for a drink in a city full of pubs & drunks

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Monday, 3 August 2015 21:07 (eleven years ago)

this is me by the time I reach Scott St from my work

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Monday, 3 August 2015 21:09 (eleven years ago)

My objection to mono is that it's a big echoey atmosphereless shell. But lots of people I know like it. It's definitely been a good thing for the city.

― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Monday, 3 August 2015 21:32 (eleven years ago)

Yes, also very bad service at Mono. Prefer it as a gig venue over 13th Note and Stereo, tho.

Even more of a fucking disgrace - I've never been to the Art School before! So it is good to meet new people and go to new places. Character building.

Will prob go home first, so 7pm might be a bit tight, but won't be far off that.

― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 08:03 (eleven years ago)

The vic bar is closed for a refurb. I just went past.

― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:03 (eleven years ago)

er, the art school website doesn't say anything?

― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:29 (eleven years ago)

Taxi driver BANNED after he allegedly asked women to urinate in the back of his cab instead of paying
No good.

― Alba, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:46 (eleven years ago)

Mono?

― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:49 (eleven years ago)

How about Bon Accord - walking distance the centre with (usually) decent beer choices.

Or the Pot Still?

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 12:57 (eleven years ago)

LOL

My suggestion was going to be the CCA, as it's just round the corner from the Art School and should be easy enough to find for a novice to the city (Bon Accord a little trickier) - Pot Still good shout too

― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 13:00 (eleven years ago)

glasglol

― let no-one live rent free in your butt (sic), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 13:11 (eleven years ago)

Pot still looks like a nice pub - is that ok everyone? - should be able to make my way there from queen street.

― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 13:31 (eleven years ago)

kinda awesome cca have a saramago cafe.

― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 13:36 (eleven years ago)

So...

POT STILL AT 7PM
AGREED?
NO CHANGES ALLOWED!

PS. If Ailsa is reading this I've lost your phone # (again) & sent you an email. Could you send me a text if you don't have email access?

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 14:52 (eleven years ago)

All good - see you all shortly.

― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 15:06 (eleven years ago)

Contact made with onimo, all good. Will try and pop in for one or two but have to take it easy.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 16:03 (eleven years ago)

I'm in. It's busy. I have no idea who I'm looking for.

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 18:06 (eleven years ago)

If anyone else is in the Pot Still I'm the lonely guy thinking baout things and browsing on my phone at the big pillar.

I am also the only man here wearing a tie. (savages)

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 18:20 (eleven years ago)

I hope you were found.

― Madchen, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 20:05 (eleven years ago)

I was!

Well done everyone. You managed to get plural ilxors in a pub in Glasgow. This achievement cannot be underestimated.

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 21:21 (eleven years ago)

Yes! Excellent. I spotted Onimo without recourse to this thread. Very proud. Great to meet new and familiar faces. We could easily do this every few months so let's try x

― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 21:43 (eleven years ago)

Much fond talk was had of madchen, stet, rjg, alba, keith and many others so if your ears were burning that was the cause.

― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 21:50 (eleven years ago)

That was fun! Lovely to meet you, xyzzzz__ and great to catch up with Ward, jed_ and onimo again. Let's try Glasgow more, people.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 4 August 2015 22:13 (eleven years ago)

---------- need not -----

― passive aggressive DN (onimo), Tuesday, 4 August 2015 23:34 (eleven years ago)

Thanks to xyzzzz for getting us out - on his (unannounced!) birthday, even. Lovely to see everyone and yes, let's try and have another one in 2015. Maybe even at the Art School. Or Mono.

― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 5 August 2015 07:59 (eleven years ago)

Thank you all so much for last night. I can recommend all visitors to try Glasgow more.

Saturday July 27 you can see the movie doc Pink the Capital about the late 1970s Washington dc punk scene. There is also a photo exhibit in Edinburgh called Hard Art 1979 of DC punk photos at Summerhall. Screening of the movie there too I think
