Were you in the west end of Glasgow? I was gonna suggest the square with all the lights in it was George's Square but i get a feeling you weren't in the centre of town.

Im pretty sure it was the center of town,
But then again i wouldnt really know, it looked like the center of the town though.

Where would you normally go out in Glasgow, the choice yous have is amazing! We've got very little to choose from over here, and even at that most of them have that whole cheesy thing going on.

hi!

oh there are cheesy places in Glasgow too... the Shack for example... anyhoo... Hmmmm well usually when im out in town it's for a gig so i'd be at King Tuts, Barfly, The Garage, etc. Just the wee underground venues y'kno?

Yeah we went past the shack, that place looks some size,
Its really dirty looking, was it on fire recently, it looks it

hehe... no the shack always looks like that. It's a right dump from the outside but it's apparently okay inside. Hmmmm i have my doubts though. I can't believe you didn't go to Tuts!

Next time im over I'll try to make a wee visit to Tuts,
Some size that Shac place we're really stuck in Belfast for good student places, drink prices tend to be basically the same as most other nites.

Its doing my head in being back in this place.ah the joys of work......


The complete stone roses are playing at Witnness this year and they are also playing the campsite on the Friday nite!!! This should be fun

hiya!

Yeah i think you'll like it.

omg i just found out The Wildhearts, Therapy? and The Glitterati are playing in Glasgow at a wee venue! *breathes deeply*... need tickets, need tickets...

phew...

happy I take it

Your really into you rock sound arnt you,

Seen Therapy a good few years back, Not really my type of thing, went with a few mates. I enjoyed it like they're ok, but not not really my thing.
think I read something about them having a new album out

my music taste is weird anyways

hiya!

yup i really am! Well i've actually never heard Therapy's stuff i just wanna go because The Glitterati are supporting and i saw em in November(at King Tuts surprise, surprise) it's them that i really wanna see.

what are Therapy like then?

Claire

they're form N. Ireland, not to sure where about though,

I wouldnt really be the right person to talk about them,
They have that rocky, grungy thing going on
it works well for them
Im sure you'll enjoy it though

I can still draw the wee symbol guy that they had on their albums

looking forward to the weekend then?
I'll be glad to get outta this place for a few days

hi!

ah i see... yep i knew they're Irish. Hmmmm grunge? Well im not a huge grunge fan but i reckon it'll be fun all the same. No point in listening to one type of music all the time anyway. I've just finished listening to Christina Aguilera, No Doubt and Muse so i like an eclectic mix anywayz!

Trivia: one of Therapy once snogged the missing Manic Street Preacher, Richey Edwards.

yep im always looking forward to the weekend!lol... going somewhere nice? Ooooh Primal Scream on the telly! Gtg!

Well i'll be taking it easy this week,

My friends baby gets Christened on Sunday, and im skint.

Think I'll have a wee social tonite and then just chill out.

Im bursting to have a good nite out, feels like I havent had a serious party now in ages, its amazing how a mad month or 2 can affect your money situation for the rest of the year

hi!

you never know you might likike the relaxation!

This is rather random but i thought i'd tell you that the Irish accent is one of my favourite accents(if not my absolute favourite). I told you it was random!hehe

what do you think of the smoking ban in in pubs etc, in Ireland then? Do you smoke?

Claire
xxxxxxx

Iv heard people say that before, strange really that one, but then again im from N. Ireland so i dont think thats counts. When i was in Glasgow I found it hard to understand some people for a day or two til I got the jest of it. Then again these where people with very thick accents.

Iv yet to experience the smoking ban, but I believe that its a good thing. Im an x smoker but I still smoke if you know what i mean

Im heading down some time to see James Brown, so I'll know all about it then.

hi!

why is the northern Ireland accent very different? There was a guy in the bank yesterday when i was in and he was Irish, i thought 'I could listen to his accent all day long!'
Yep Glaswegians do have a weird accent i suppose... okay i just slagged myself off.lol... nah it's just all the little colloqualisms that are difficult at first. I met A agroup of Irish guys on the train a while ago and one of them said he like my jacket but i didn't know what he was saying because his word for 'cool' was somethng i'd ever heard of before... i wish i could remember it now.

yeah i do actually know what you mean!

aaaah cool... i don't really want it to be introduced in Scotland. All the bars will be empty!

Claire

Yeah it is different, though most people from other countries cant tell the difference. we sound like a cross of scotish and Irish, think of james Nesbitt (urghhhh)

did he say it was deadly by any chance?

Take it your a smoker then?

hi!

irish and scottish mixed together don't sound too bad!

no not exactly. Some of my friends are smokers though. I'm thinking of them you see.

Claire

hmmmmmmmmm, a not exactly and a wink,
hiding something are we?

hey there.

no really... i've had a few of my friends' before but it's not really something i want to get addicted to y'kno? Well i don't suppose anyone does. lol

but no i really am thinking of my friends.

yes, its a terrible habit.

It was only after I stopped smoking fegs that I realised how much i stank of them. I used to slip off in work for a wee smoke and then slide back into the office thinking "They'll never know" now I can smell anybody hows been in the smoke room a mile off. It must have been so obvious
