D(iS) In The Park (Glasgow-centric)

Overtime hours = double time for half the work. Huzzah!

So: judging from the other thread, there appears to be substantial interest in the day at the park. I therefore take this opportunity to set things in motion.

a) The park is the consensus, aye?

b) July is too far away whilst May doesn't carry as high chances for decent weather. Which leaves June. It'll have to be a weekend (given how we mostly appear to have passionate ties to our respective workplaces during the week), so name any dates you are NOT free, and any which are preferable for you.

c) are BBQs (BBWs??) permitted in the park? I know boozing isn't, but it's easier to hide whisky up your t-shirt than burning coals, should Land Services be driving around.

d) If you own a diabolo, please refrain from bringing it with you. Public gymnastic displays also not appreciated.

the answer to this

is yes_'s mum's cafe


ROAD TRIP TO YOKER!

yaaaaas


Next to the shipyards.

Luxury. Luxury.


Will you be coming to the park,

or are you only going to join in the socialising if we end up in the cafe?


dunno!

I'm at primavera from 29th may - 5th, and even then the internet is scary.


you've foiled my plan of mass slaughtering,

Leatherface styleee


I'd love to come.

But I leave the fair city on the 1st.

Boo hiss.


speak up!

(^worst bump ever)


Ah fuck, I can't believe you bumped this.

In fact, I will sign my attendence IF it is on a Saturday afternoon NOT on the last weekend of may. I go to Turkey for a week for a holiday from DiS that weekend.

In other news, a BBW would be good.

(Se Alistair, I do reply! RAR.)


the details have been noted.

how long are you away for?


Week.

Thursday to Thursday. Can't fucking wait man.


the most exotic i get is Skye for 4 days

.

I shall get sorting when more people give their requirements. I know zabakdaz isn't on social forum much these days so i'll just drop her a message / text as she said she was interested.


Some of the later DiSer will need to be informed.

I shall bump this like it is my elbows in a Ford Ka.


Ha! My mate hate one and he hated it.

I have a severe dislike for them as I had a really bad hangover in one once and it always reminds of it now...


the best thing is seeing a 'modified one'.

It's like: mate, your KA will NEVER be the Bat-mobile; just admit defeat, you shamefully embarrassing cretin


Weekends I can't make it...

25th May and 28th/29th June.

(This sounds so self important, ha ha.)

My suggestion for a back up plan - the pub.


both those are already off anyway,

so that's all good.

You're onhe guest list


Woo.

As long as I know a wee bit in advance, I should be able to get the day off work.


hopefully everyone

can give dates by the end of next week and something can be arranged.


Days preferably.

Although, I have convinced someone else to do my shift for me five minutes before I was due to start before.


...

Er, I assume KG park? Good, right next to my flat. I might even turn up.

People seem to BBQ and it's not as tight on alcohol as the Botanics.

If you need a back up plan you should all come to my debut club night at Sleazys, yeah!


i live beside there too.

Perhaps you're my flatmate? Or one of my God-awful neighbours? All will be revealed...


My flatmates are all girls!

And I'm an excellent neighbour!


It'd be hilarious

if you actually were flatmates and hadn't realised.


my being male makes this impossible,

but it would've been a surprise. Cilla Black might even have popped out from behind the bushes...


That would be exciting.

I'd love a cameo from a scouser.


seeing as my dad lives right near kelvingrove park

and i'm basically going to be doing nothing from june onwards, i may or may not decide to come to this.
of course, i won't actually tell any of you i'm coming and will instead turn up and watch you all from a distance, creepily.


I might do this.

Then someone will see me and ask what I'm doing spying on them.


Yeah.

Probably the pigs, bastards.


Ach.

I won't be there.

Nevermind.


Get these mother fucing bumps

of my mother fucking bump!


my bumps, my bumps, my bumps

my rough and manly bumps.

check it out


I could possibly come

if it were a thursday, friday or saturday?


this is true. ^

the man speaks facts, and facts alone


I was informed of this last night

From me old mucker Zabakdaz lol.
Eh, i don't know. I'm disturbingly shy and anti-social, so i might not :S

Oh by the way, Medulla, cheers for passing on that Goma ticket, if you ever fancy a guestie for a Dananananaykroyd show, just drop me a line :)


nae problem at all.

And aye, what Annie says ^


i would go to this

but i'm not enough of a DiSaster yet, and i am away from the 29th of May to the 20th of June. It's a shame, since i'm amazing at BBQs.


There is a good chance

i would just try and sleep with one of you


i don't think anyone would be complaining about that

(just make sure you bring along lots of pictures of bears with which to seduce us)


Yeah

.


......?

Cost?
Courses?
Sex?


<3


the evening answers lack clarity.

But ok: to accommodate the majority it's looking like

a Saturday
not last in June
not last in May
if BBQ fails we'll get drunk in the pub
craigfoley2000 will sleep with someone


on paper (screen) it sounds good,

but i'm waiting for everyone to cancel and 3 of us to be clutching out cans of Super Tennents in the park, rocking back and forth with knees at our chest and desperately trying to think of things to say to prevent the WHOLLY AWKWARD SITUATION.

Or it could go pretty well, eh...


It will be awkward anyway

We could all bring keyboards and type on them, and speak in robotic voices....Might work


cynic!


Ok then

IT WILL WORK


Yeah.

I am sure people will come. Just keep bumping this all the time till the actual event.


i lose track, who else is there? We've had replies from:

you
me
poptimusgrime
blaaast
zabakdaz
dark_truffles
yes_
Iwasalightningkitten
Constellation
europeancakeghost
Hahaharoldramis
cat-g
craigfoley2000

(some more successful than others


I said yesterday i would go through the other thread

but I didn't. I watched Southland Tales and ate cookies instead, but one day I will!

Either that or just trawl through the "Glasgow" location on the user profiles?


Chocolate Chip and Fudge

made by me. They turned out better than I hoped. I spend more on food than I do on Booze, I am no longer a student.


this has prompted me to make

Skippy peanut butter cookies once i get back from Finch tonight


can i come?

:/


oooh, i dunno about that.

I'll add you to the list:

any dates do/don't suit? any diseases we should know of so we can be immunised at our soonest convenience?


i have progeria
