West of Scotland Summit; bring your liver

14:41 / 18.03.03

over in conversation i was wondering out loud about the North Britain contingent of barbelith, and whether they fancied doing something exciting.

ideas would be gratefully entertained.

20:04 / 18.03.03

My 'idea' is in the aforementioned thread. I think it's quite good, though.

21:53 / 18.03.03

fgjjh,kf

22:08 / 18.03.03

When were you thinking of?

22:33 / 18.03.03

I thought we'd proscribe a date after we've got sufficient interest; what that comprises is up to anyone else who wants to go.

I'm into it, anyway.

Is that four?

11:59 / 19.03.03

could we start the proceedings with an A-Team style rescue of someone from a veterans hospital?

a normal hospital would probably do, but i reallty dont know any sick people. or doctors. or slick pretty-boy con-artist procurement officers, although i could wear a suit and do that bit. who wants to be Bad Attitude Barracus?

are any of you actually in a mental hospital?

09:18 / 22.03.03

Count me out............

IN

oh right, oh right.

14:45 / 22.03.03

in out, in out...

did you shake it all about?

before you put it back, i mean?

dont you hate those two or three drips you get no matter how many times you shake?

When you said "barbeliths northern users" i thought u meant proper North. Glasgows south! :0)

21:35 / 22.03.03

well, we would be glad to have you, even if you are travelling far. let me know and will organise sleeping and that if you need it. (i am moving house, so you might want to let us know well in advance)
you might also want to take into account that we were prolly going to go clubbing, and pack accordingly.

and North Britain was the name for scotland used on maps when scottish indeendence was not even considered by the english.

often used by englanders in the know to take the piss.

Nah dont think i could make it down... exams and shite just now-ish. Cheerz anyway, xx

yeah, count me in

North Britain also includes places like Newcastle and Liverpool, where the people suffer the misfortune of being ur-Scots, just not Northerly enough.

Obviously lowland Scots are total bastards, too, cf: Braveheart.

03:17 / 25.03.03

Not really! Do come along also.

I'm of colonial birth, so that makes me a super-shit, probably.

Poke it with a stick

09:58 / 25.03.03

Well, I'm from Aberdeen, so I know that it really is grim up north.
Fortunately, I now reside in the sunny environs of Glasgow's fashionable West End, so I'm up for it. And generally, a lot happier.

14:11 / 25.03.03

big bad lee scratch is playing the arches with the mad proffesor.

barbe...barbe...barbedance...HO!

whaddya reckon?

kan

aye mebbe

When dis?

i think it might be the fifth... yes, it is, it's the fifth of next month.

19:09 / 25.03.03

its a possibility.

toxic: i salute you.

19:25 / 26.03.03

The fifth is totally my birthday.

Unfortunately, I am fairly sure I have to serve overpriced drinks to wankers that night. I'll check.

19:52 / 30.03.03

DUDE!

you must work in the ubiquitous chip!

my birthday is on the first, an event that will pass marked only by the seeing of a movie.

maybe.

if i can be arsed.

the lee scratch shindig is most definitely where i am going to release all my pent up 23yrold dance fever, and mebbe even get hammered.

i am going, there are still tickets, please make it, it will be lonely without all of you. well, okay, i will have mates with me, and the heaving throng of strangers that the arches no doubt will attract, but you know what i mean. barbe-lonesome.

23:54 / 31.03.03

Happy Birthday, toksie.

I work in the glamorous confines of the Carnoustie Golf Course Hotel. I do not like golf.

And I am working on my fuckin birthday.

Shat.

bastids.

erse

I'm going to this now, with a couple o mates - cheers tokkers, it's a good night out recommendation. We should all endeavour to see each other in there

No star here laces

09:34 / 04.04.03

Wow, if I get this right Lee Scratch is playing the Arches this weekend?

When I happen to be going to glasgow?

Score!

Which of you are going to be there for definite?

20:51 / 04.04.03

cordon bleulaces, i am.

and i will be wearing a blank badge again.

you will know me by the cloud of smoke.

or you could PM me.

21:08 / 04.04.03

in fact;

at half two, i will be getting my excess hair cut off.

as soon as that is done, i will eat, ride a bus to the west end, and hang out in kelvingrove park smelling the flowers and smiling at the sun.

at around seven, i will be back towards town with a gang of like minded drunkards and stoners to see a punk band play; the al pacinos.

asd soon as they are off stage in strawberry fields, i will find a bar and wait for scratch.

catch me somewhere on that itinerary, if you havent PMed me earlier than half one/two.

captain piss

13:35 / 05.04.03

yep- I'll definitely be in there- distinguishable only by...fuck, dunno,.. probably the wearing of green leather, as ever. Fairly confident I'll be able to apprehend you guys at some point- I have a knack

23:48 / 06.04.03

right, that were blinding, but i saw none of you.

not the actual summit, then.

at least i think not.

i was the hammered fucker who went and queued for the cloakroom wearing my rucksack with everyone's coats in.
i was also wearing really posey sunglasses, and had a quiff.

sorry if i spilled your pint.

03:42 / 07.04.03

Well, I had an ass birthday in case y's're interested.

Can we try again, re: summit?

captain piss

11:00 / 07.04.03

found this a good laugh- not really inspirational on the music front, though- maybe just not my kind of thing. Reggae's a bit slow int'it?? Why can't they make it faster?
I noticed everyone smirking with amusement when the man Perry first appeared, resplendent in gold helmet (?), and people around me appeared to be quite into it all. But i just went to the wee bar next door to chat to people instead.
But yeah, it would have been impossible to just bump into each other in there, without really knowing what we all look like.

captain piss

11:03 / 07.04.03

Erm- the comment about reggae was originally posted with "annoying bastard" and those wee html marks around it- but they don't seem to show up anymore- dunno why

19:03 / 07.04.03

man, I totally misread you dude!
