This is what Nu-ILX needs. When are we going to eat food then? ~~Stet has lots of other people's money so the drinks are on him~~

Have we missed Steven Seagal? There was a picture of him in the Record the other day looking enormously fat.

― stet (stet), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 16:01 (eighteen years ago) link

19th September. Thankfully we haven't missed it. Sadly, it's sold out. Perhaps we should just hang around outside waiting for him.

does ailsa_xxx only post after the watershed then?

four months pass...

Well, this was a good wee thread, wasn't it?

Is anyone going to NPL tonight then? I probably am not, but I shall be in Uisge Beatha from about 8.30-ish with special guest star J*mie C****y if anyone wants to come and say hello. Then I shall probably drink too much and decide to go to NPL anyway.

You, yr pals, and 300 80-year-olds.

You won't get any weed there either, btw.

Millport's magic.

I shall be in Uisge Beatha from about 8.30-ish

I popped in, on my way somewhere else, but it would've been about 8:20. Never mind.

― KeefW (KeefW), Saturday, 30 December 2006 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha, I saw someone that looked a bit like you as well!

I got very drunk and talked rubbish at Pat Nevin for a while. It was fun, though Pat Nevin may not necessarily agree. I think I might have agreed to go to ATP Dirty Three with a friend of a friend as well. Hmmm.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Was it Leon? Alex H used to get me mixed up for him.

― KeefW (KeefW), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know. He was someone, standing outside the Uisge Beatha, who looked a bit like you but wasn't. I didn't think to ask his name.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:49 (seventeen years ago) link

You should've done. I keep a register of people who look like me.

― KeefW (KeefW), Saturday, 30 December 2006 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link

If I see him again, I'll ask him.

We should all go out for dinner again soon. Anyone care to nominate a date and place so we can have the usual ~~fight~~ discussion?

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 16 February 2007 13:19 (seventeen years ago) link

ALSO I have now lived in Glasgow for five years.

Edinburgh!

Sorry... But I'd come out anyway. All these bands I've never heard of sound amazing, Ward.

― KeefW (KeefW), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Stet! Madchen is being rude to us! Zap her! :-)

(I shall be out of the country from 3rd - 18th March, so NOT THEN is my answer to date. Place, erm, I have no idea. I am a hermit and never go out any more)

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Ailsa, Madchen, take this to IMP before you destroy the thread for the love of god.

Also: there's a new Lebanese place on Gibson St, what about that?

― stet (stet), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

you guys should go see the stunky munchkins

some time

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

But, sir, she started it, she called us all a bunch of fannies!

What be Lebanese food like, then?

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it's an old lebanese place w/ new insides

what do they eat in lebanon or in lebanese places?

stunky munchkins do not sound appetising

― RJG (RJG), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Kind of like Mika, but tasty (x-p)

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I have just discovered the LebWeb.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:51 (seventeen years ago) link

The Lebanese place on Gibson Street's been there for a while now but it's just undergone a bit a refurbishment. I'd thoroughly recommend it though, the food's magic and you can eat till you can't see any more for fifteen quid. I dunno if they have a booze license though.

You're spying for Claire!

― KeefW (KeefW), Friday, 16 February 2007 18:02 (seventeen years ago) link

A suggestion. On Friday, me and Neil were at Xscape eating food. They have ten pin bowling there too. Should we go for eating in some chain or other (Frankie & Benny, Bella Italia, Ma Potter, Chiquitos, TGI Fridays, China Buffet King, Nandos (which is extremely nummy), probably something else I've forgotten) and then go bowling?

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Sunday, 18 February 2007 12:10 (seventeen years ago) link

this thread is about glasgow!just kidding

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 18 February 2007 12:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, I started the thread, I decide what we talk about! Ha, also just kidding.

Greek food would also be nice (parked beside Konaki this afternoon and thought of this thread). Or Indian. Or Thai. Or anything else, actually. I might also put in a shout for WestBeer again, as it's lovely.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Sunday, 18 February 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

before that: ailsa and i are going for a pint on thursday night (that's right, ailsa, isn't it?) in the pot still on hope street. time TBC but it won't be before 6pm for me. i was speaking to stew beardmag the other day and told him too. come on, bros, let's fuckin' fap it up.

(i have a day off on friday too. hurrah etc.)

― grimly fiendish (simon), Sunday, 18 February 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, aye, yeah, Thursday. Monster Friday hangovers at work, hurrah (that Thursday aldo-FAP last year nearly killed me). I'm guessing I'll be there about 6.30-ish.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Sunday, 18 February 2007 23:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm looking like I'm up between 26th Feb and 5th/6th March, although there will be a couple of nights back down here for HMHB. Yes, INCLUDING THE WEEKEND (which I'll be working during the day). FAP offers taken.

― I am not a crappy security guard on L O S T (much_aldo_about_nothing), Monday, 19 February 2007 09:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I have to do a post-work training session on Thursday, so I'll be ready for a swift half halfterwards.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 19 February 2007 13:00 (seventeen years ago) link

my thrice-postponed meeting with the editor at which i go "waugh waugh waugh" and he says "no" is now at 6.15pm on thursday so i'll be there by 7ish.

― grimly fiendish (simon), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:26 (seventeen years ago) link

It's been confirmed I'm up those days. More details to follow, I guess, but Friday 2nd or Saturday 3rd?

― I am not a crappy security guard on L O S T (much_aldo_about_nothing), Monday, 19 February 2007 15:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Madchen - Ailsa mentioned on the fitba thread that you used to frequent Milan. Any tips/places to see while I'm out there for the Sellic game in a fortnight?

― JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Monday, 19 February 2007 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Are they actually going to play the match in Milan then? I'm behind on fitba news.

Are you flying to Bergamo? If so, I recommend spending the day there, then going on to Milan for the match. I wouldn't recommend Milan as a tourist destination, frankly. It's OK if you have a native to show you around, but I know so many people who wandered about, looking through shop windows at clothes they couldn't afford, then tried and failed to find a bar because they're all hidden away in weird places.

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 19 February 2007 17:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Yep, I think they've got it back to the full capacity now after doing some renovations - electronic turnstiles/robot pie and macaroon sellers etc.

We're flying to Verona (Brescia) with erm...Ryanair, and getting the train to Milan. Our hotel is right next to the main train station/main square(?) so quite handy for being pick-pocketed I'd imagine. I'd heard the bars were a bit out of the way from a few pals who were at the game vs AC about 2 yrs ago. I've got a few of them compiling a dossier on where the cheapest Asti can be sought.

― JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Monday, 19 February 2007 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Al, I'm flying out of Glasgow at stupid o'clock on the morning of Saturday the 3rd, so would like early doors Friday fappage with you please, or else earlier on that week (though googlage suggests you will be elsewhere on the Wednesday - consider me jealous of that, btw).

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Monday, 19 February 2007 17:53 (seventeen years ago) link

what could she mean?

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 19 February 2007 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I have been wanting to go to Nando's at Xscape for months now! I would also like to play the minigolf there. RJG & I are away to Paris a week tomorrow though.

― Cathy (RJG), Monday, 19 February 2007 19:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah shit, I think I'm supposed to being going to a friend's on Thursday for tea. I should really keep a diary so I can keep tabs on my whirlwind social life. Anyway, if there's a change of plans I'll let you know.

― Stewart Smith (Stew), Monday, 19 February 2007 19:34 (seventeen years ago) link

The mini-golf looks a bit rub, to be honest. Oh, it does have an Amazing Pie Company outlet within though.

(Pizza Express is the other food outlet. Don't let the Xscape website fool you into thinking they have a Cafe Rouge. They did, but it's been replaced by Bella Italia since we were last there. The cinema's still not open yet, which is annoying)

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Monday, 19 February 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

More details to follow, I guess, but Friday 2nd or Saturday 3rd?

saturday 3rd is TRANS FUCKING AM at the ABC2 (with the inspiral carpets upstairs at ABC1; something is very wrong with that picture). and then i've got a housewarming party to go to.

with a "theme".

which is "childhood heroes".

my own personal theme will be "fuck that".

so anyway, yeh, friday 2 is better but it does depend on mrs f, who'll be coming back from sheffield that day ... hmm. i'll do my best.

― grimly fiendish (simon), Monday, 19 February 2007 20:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Fucking hell, are there tickets left for Trans Am?

― I am not a crappy security guard on L O S T (much_aldo_about_nothing), Monday, 19 February 2007 20:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Tickets Scotland says yes.

― Captain Purple Items (nu_onimo), Monday, 19 February 2007 20:50 (seventeen years ago) link

You're most likely to get stuck with a needle or picked up by a prossie around Centrale station, JohnFoxxxx. Brescia is also a bit of a dump, and not very close to Verona. Ah, northern Italy, how I miss you! Sorry this is not particularly helpful.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 13:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Hope to make it along to the drink-up on Thursday, what's the full name of the pub/bar pl?

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Cheers for the tip! I think we're going to try Bergamo on the Tuesday

― JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 19:15 (seventeen years ago) link

ward: it's called the pot still. on hope street, about halfway up. if you start at central station and head north, it's on your right before you get to the (closed, i think) kilt shop that used to be a print shop, and a couple of blocks before bath street.

be superb to see you.

― grimly fiendish (simon), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 21:26 (seventeen years ago) link

I may manage along for a wee while tomorrow if my wife can sort someone to look after the kids

is there a good weekend to visit glasgow in march (by good i mean have some good FAPPY type thing that hopefully involves dancing?)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 15:54 (seventeen years ago) link

i have long weekends that i have to use up and i remember glasgow weekends being FUN.

but then RJG is going away :(

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

The weekend of the 24th would be good as I will be in the country. Weekend of 31st would have a Pop League on the Friday and would also, maybe, be good.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link

will you be there that weekend of 31st? i might even know if i have a better job or not by then!

otherwise 24th is good as any!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks for the directions grimly, v. clear, see you there

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I will be, yes. I might even come out! (aw, I've been out the last couple of times you've been here)

Do not plan plans around me as I am notoriously unreliable about coming out. I might have a better job by then too! Hurrah!

xpost. Yay for people coming to the pub!

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe see you in london, ken!!

― Stewart Smith (Stew), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Btw, I have my first shift in Oxfam books and music on Victoria Road tomorrow afternoon. Drop by if you're in the neighbourhood. :)

Yay Pot Still! Yay people! Yay hangover at work on Friday!

(are we still thinking about 7-ish, since no time has actually been decided, has it?)

xpost Yay Stew's new job!

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, it's only voluntary, but I've always wanted to work in a record shop and foist my favourite records on the unsuspecting public, so yay indeed!
And yay Pot Still!
