Oh no, we never went there. In the depths of my brain, I think Andy Williams might have. Maybe he can confirm.

Yes, the 14th... I suspect it will FUCKING ROCK.

I once attempted a night of train missing doughnut munching. It wasn't much fun as the place was full of scary aggresive drunken cunts and after an hour or so me and my mate decided it was safer to walk the streets.

When a dunkin' donuts has bouncers on the door you know something's gone wrong.

I fell out with Italmania after they took their nummy arrabiata off the menu.

You should try the spicy chicken thingie they have instead - I had it one night and it took about eight pints of Guinness to quell the stinging in my mouth (well, that's my excuse). Seriously, I had tears running down my face and I lost all use of my tastebuds for about three hours.

(that is actually a recommendation, believe it or not)

maybe it's jam! Haha.

it was generally legendary in Edinburgh, the idea of spending the entire night eating doughnuts because you'd missed the last train back from a concert.

I certify this as true.

Yeah, well, having recently missed the last bus back from Edinburgh after a gig, you posh buggers really need to get one Dunkin Donuts too. Teviot till 4 am then a nasty overpriced backpackers hostel (vs sitting drunk in the pishing rain) is no substitute, let me tell you.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Teviot 'til 4 followed by the Penny Black would be a better idea. There are pubs open 23/7 here.

― KeefW (KeefW), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Or you could've just given me a shout! Calum did!

― KeefW (KeefW), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, but I'd been drinking for, erm, 14 hours by that point. We got about four hours sleep which cost us £30 (which was a FUCKING BARGAIN since I would probably gladly have paid £100000000000000 to get a kip in an actual real bed by that point), bus back to Glasgow, went back to pub, started again for another 12 hours.

(xpost, yeah, I bet going up to a random stranger in the pub and asking "do you know KeefW" would have found us you as well!)

Also this was at Belle and Sebastian so weren't you off in some glamorous exotic location somewhere (i.e. not Edinburgh?)

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah, right you are... In France.

― KeefW (KeefW), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 23:57 (seventeen years ago) link

even better: you could have kipped in KEITH'S BED.

The more I think abt it, the more I think it will be 'sensible' for me to go home and rest before enduring this all-night bus flight :-(

i am going to go to this gig tonight, tho', which I think other ILXors might enjoy too:

You're drinking before breakfast now?

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 7 December 2006 08:56 (seventeen years ago) link

is that wrong?

― grimly fiendish (simon), Thursday, 7 December 2006 09:36 (seventeen years ago) link

fuck. wish i hadn't been drinking before breakfast (ie last night). bring on the hair of the dog.

― grimly fiendish (simon), Thursday, 7 December 2006 12:52 (seventeen years ago) link

are we having food at this place?

― stet (stet), Thursday, 7 December 2006 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I am having food at home in approximately five minutes, then setting out on the arduous journey to the most stupidly-located pub in the universe. I'll probably be there at the back of 8.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

optimo, boxing day

― cozeny (cozeny), Thursday, 21 December 2006 10:28 (seventeen years ago) link

The hand-dryers in Chinaski's are the dog's bollocks, they really are.

For Grimly.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 21 December 2006 10:35 (seventeen years ago) link

www.exceldryer.com really needs some action shots.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 21 December 2006 13:39 (seventeen years ago) link

(also gimp horse)

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 21 December 2006 13:41 (seventeen years ago) link

btw, mild derail, Madchen when are you going home for Xmas?

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 21 December 2006 13:41 (seventeen years ago) link

It depends on when the fog lifts and how much backlog BA has to clear. Meant to be taking off 7.30pm-ish on Saturday.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 21 December 2006 13:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I could be in yr hood drinking yr beer on Saturday before the football if you have time for a very quick pint?

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 21 December 2006 13:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Depends on if I have to drive home, but in theory it sounds good!

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

(will seriously only be for about half an hour, depending when Onimo comes to pick me up and what the traffic's like, but I'll give you a ring)
