I literally just got an email from someone at Carlton TV inviting me (and various others here) to go on their silly debate programme. Anyone fancy an ILE invasion of the airwaves?

I got the same, obviously, which amused the fuck out of me since - wait for it - I'm not in London. Still, if anyone fancies buying me a plane ticket, I'll go.

This wouldn't be Late Night loonies would it - with Nicky Campbell. They did a hilarious one a few weeks ago with some squatters in which everybody agreed and Campbell was capering about the set saying inane and offensive things to get people going.

I don't go on Carlton. They didn't give me a job.

We could have great fun. Pretend we don't know each other and have a Jerry Springer style fight!!!

― Paul Strange, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So the debate / argument / full blown fight is about cats vs dogs? I say let the animals fight it out themselves. It would make great TV to see a poodle and a chihuahua going at it against a couple of mongrel toms. Or is that on Eurosport already?

Oh come on, it would be a giggle. The ILE massive Vs. Nicky Campbell = first step towards world domination.

― DG, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We could all dress as cats and dogs and meow and bark incessantly throughout. Then Mike could urinate on Nicky Campbell's leg.

― Paul Strange, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Weird, I got the e-mail too. Did you see the names it included! Anyway, I'm in Glasgow on the 13th, so I can't make it. Rats rats rats. Or rather cats cats cats dogs dogs dogs.

― Paul Strange, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I got it too. Can someone buy me a plane ticket? I always wanted to be on T.V.

― Michael Bourke, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I didn't get it. I feel so left out...

― Kate the Saint, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You could pretend to be Siouxie and say FUCK (cats, not dogs) a million times.

― nathalie (nathalie), Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wait! I did get one! At my old Hotmail account that I never check any more. The CC: list is simply everyone who participated in the Taking Sides: Cats vs Dogs thread we had here a few months back. Guess someone just googled us...

I'd go if I wasn't too busy contemplating the future of avante guarde music in a saki bar in Japan, I mean... playing in Glasgow that day.

― Kate the Saint, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I"m up for it. Can someone post the invite here?

― Graham, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dear All,

On Monday, Carlton TV in London are hosting a Late Night Live TV debate on dogs vs. cats. Do you love cats or is your heart stolen by a pooch? Or do you hate both? We're looking for people to represent both sides of the debate - could that be you or someone you are in touch with?

We record on Monday 13th at 8pm for broadcast later that evening. I would appreciate it if you could e mail me as soon as possible or call me at work on 0207 665 8285.

Many thanks

If only the show was on Robots Vs Dinosaurs.

― Martin, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kate do some fekking research, it's SAKE bars. Damn. ;-)

― nathalie, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Natalie! Only I can disrupt the normal vowel usage in fuck!

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

For fucks sake, the Japanese language doesn't even HAVE English vowels. I've seen it both saki and sake.

― Kate the Saint, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've only seen sake. I like it best that way.

― Ally, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mike: it's Nathalie. N A T H A L I E for fuh-ing sake. ;-)

Kate, it is SAKE. I was merely making a joke. But still SAKE. Saki is an entirely different word. It means earlier. For example Kate wa saki ni sake o nomimashita.

― nathalie, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

OK, my mistake then. Sorry, but you have to understand that my entire knowledge of the Japanese language is based on watching badly subtitled Japanese anime, hence the confusion.

― Kate the Saint, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I prefer NAtalie, trollop

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I prefer to call you Adam, is that okay with you?

― Ally, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I prefer you call me eilahtan actually. That's eilahtan ssim cause you're nasty. wink wink

― nathalie, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ally I dont care what you call Nathalie.

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Shut up, Adam.

― Ally, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

From now on I am calling Mike "Eve".

― nathalie, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've been trying to get people to call me "Alvin Stardust" for years, but no one ever has. Though "The Rock of David Hasselhoff" would also suffice.

― Kate the Saint, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kate I shall call you Ally.

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We could harrass Nicky C for going to school and uni with Nicholas C. (it's true).

― suzy, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Surely Rock of Olivia Newton John would be better?

― My Name's Better Than Yours, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Who is the other Nicky C? I'm confused...

― Kate the Saint, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nicky Campbell the ex-public schoolboy host of the programme. Ex- classmate of 'our' Nicky C, ie. Momus.

― suzy, Friday, 10 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nicky Campbell also went to university with Iain Glen. According to Euan Ferguson (Observer journalist also at Aberdeen) , they were "the cocks o' the walk , swanning, strutting, preening and bullying their way through student life, like some absurd tartan version of Brideshead Revisited".

― Nick, Friday, 10 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mr. Currie would corroborate this information; says everyone absolutely hated them.

― suzy, Friday, 10 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

They were indeed cocks o' the walk. They dominated Dramsoc, the theatre society. They started their broadcasting careers at Northsound, the local radio station. There was Nicky C. and his sidekick Alan Robb, who later read the news on Radio 1. Iain Glen I remember from school, but not uni, but I guess he was there. I didn't hang out with them, despite the fact we'd all gone to the same school. I made friends with painters at Gray's School of Art instead. They were working class and listened to The Fall. I hadn't come to Aberdeen just to see the same Edinburgh Academy boys, had I?

― Momus, Saturday, 11 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mwahahaha, Dramsoc. Sounds like one of Orwell's airless Airstrip One bureaux.
