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

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?

Does RJG know?

let go

hi dere.

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.

what, my old pal jimie cuntty is in town and didn’t get in touch? bastard!

Ho ho.

i am going to spend the NY w/ some friends on this Millport (sp?) island place, hope to see more of glasgow ilx in 2007 (but i need to get a job, above all else)

have a gd one w/out any fear

i am going to spend the NY w/ some friends on this Millport (sp?) island place

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.

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.

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

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.

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

If I see him again, I’ll ask him.

Mind you do.

o u bitta’sweet scottish drunkards you.

um, ave a good new un!

Saturday 24th February 8pm

8 pounds

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

discussion?

ALSO I have now lived in Glasgow for five years.

Not that you care, you bunch of fannies.

Edinburgh!

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

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, 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?

you guys should go see the stunky munchkins

some time

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

What be Lebanese food like, then?

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

crosspost

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

I have just discovered the LebWeb.

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.

x-post

>you guys should go see the stunky munchkins

You’re spying for Claire!

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?

this thread is about glasgow!just kidding

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.

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.)

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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).

what could she mean?

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.

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.

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)

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.

Fucking hell, are there tickets left for Trans Am?

Tickets Scotland says yes.

http://www.tickets-scotland.com/booking.html?c=viewevent&event_id=7959

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.

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

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

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.

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

RJG i have an extra ticket for Robyn in London on March 2

:‘ ((((((((

wish I could, a lot

thought about it, even

leaving for paris next tues, unfortunately

hope it’s great!

I am not coming to glasgow now. As you were.

You’re shite at this you know.

don’t go RJG!

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

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

but then RJG is going away :(

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.

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!

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

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!

I just booked tickets for robyn in london on march 29!

maybe see you in london, ken!!

Ok, count me back in for the Pot Still tomorrow. My friend has this cold that’s doing the rounds so dinner is postponed. Go FAP!

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!

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!
