Thanks folks. Trip was utterly fantastic and best Springsteen gig in a long time, very luck with the set list. Lots of catching up to do with work and stuff... Vegas for Thanksgiving DC and yes the more things change the more they stay the same!
hey, Billy, forgot to tell you, Kevin McDermott was in our school on Monday working with p6 on the Absent Voices art/music/whatever project (it's to do with the sugarsheds)
It is, Billy, several interesting people are involved and it seems to be reaching far into the community. The sugarsheds were used for live music at the Tall Ships and the vague (I think it may be very vague) idea is that they should be transformed into art space (a mini Tate) and possibly a music venue too. Maybe - I doubt if there's money available, with Riverside Inverclyde under close scrutiny now. The spin-off just now is very enjoyable however!
We believed we'd catch the rainbow Ride the wind to the sun And sail away on ships of wonder But life's not a wheel With chains made of steel So bless me, oh bless me, bless me Come the dawn
Hey Jx, how long a walk you up fer? If it's the coastal walk, there's great wee stretches of anything fae a couple o miles tae, well, right round the kingdom!
Try Elie tae Anster at about 5 miles and finish wi a fish supper. Or even better, Crail tae Anster passin Caiplie Coves and intae Cellardyke (pint at the Haven) then a mile onwards tae..... A fish supper
TOMATO SAUCE! No thanks...that's OK for chips at home or whatever but I'd take my own wee bottle of chippie sauce if need be. Thanks for the suggestions though. Thought I might be going walking in Fife tomorrow but I'll be getting ready for a wee trip to stay with my sister in John O'Groats instead. Great wee walk to Duncansby Stacks in the offing...and lots of others. I'll definitely try one of your suggested walks once I'm back home. Jx
Just checked tonight's playlist for an alleged trip around the world. Trailing away to Leith and down to Newcastle, Liverpool and London while carelessly avoiding Africa. How parochially typical of GIO. I'll be making mince next Friday. That should go with anything on their playlist.
I'm too busy trying to acquire the taste for Conor Oberst's flaky voice in the hopes that it'll seem worth £25 come July. Either that or he gets struck down by a 24 hour virus leaving Dawes to fill the night.
Norrie, were you havin' a laff or is a boy thing, like Neil Young and Bob Dylan?
Does this happen to you?
ReplyDeletenow who's being silly, Billy? :0)
ReplyDeleteMoi?
DeleteAnd welcome back, Norrie. Hope your trip was as good as you would have hoped it would be.
ReplyDeleteHow rude of me. Good to have you back Norrie!!
Delete
DeleteBack?
Was it Las Vegas again Norrie?
DeleteYou missed yersel when you wis away! Scotland got beat at the rugby and the same themes are repeated on the wireless!
Och come on, keep up. He crossed the world to see Broooooce.
DeleteAnd it rendered him speechless.
Thanks folks. Trip was utterly fantastic and best Springsteen gig in a long time, very luck with the set list. Lots of catching up to do with work and stuff... Vegas for Thanksgiving DC and yes the more things change the more they stay the same!
DeleteGreat stuff Billy!
ReplyDeleteDid you spot Harry from Spooks?
Yes and the guy from Aswad.
ReplyDeleteLike a coiled spring he was
ReplyDeleteWhat lost treasures has everyone unearthed for tonight?
ReplyDelete"That would be good but..."
Deletethere's not nearly enough Gong on the radio.
DeleteI've only heard them once on GIO. A song that nobody had requested strangely enough!
DeleteTom Morton played some Gong a few months back..
DeleteI keep asking for some Jackie Leven, one day, perhaps.. Although it fits tonights topic quite well..
Better luck next time Pete!
DeleteWho's Pete?
ReplyDeleteWhats on tonight?
Mr anonymous above. He turned up a few months ago then disappeared. Reminiscing is the theme tonight I think.
DeleteAh, Stinky Pete!
Delete(How did u know?)
Reminiscing?
"Listening to Sounds of the 80s" by Adam from Rio
I paid attention to what he posted before (;-)
DeleteAdam, not Bobby Goldsboro then?
DeleteI've asked for There Will Be Fireworks.
DeleteHahahahhahhahhahhahhahahhahhahhaaaaa
hey, Billy, forgot to tell you, Kevin McDermott was in our school on Monday working with p6 on the Absent Voices art/music/whatever project (it's to do with the sugarsheds)
Was he dressed up as Tate, Lyle or Cube?
Deleteunrefined in Mother Nature's Kitchen
DeleteGreat choice Gaie. Sounds like an interesting project.
DeleteIt is, Billy, several interesting people are involved and it seems to be reaching far into the community. The sugarsheds were used for live music at the Tall Ships and the vague (I think it may be very vague) idea is that they should be transformed into art space (a mini Tate) and possibly a music venue too. Maybe - I doubt if there's money available, with Riverside Inverclyde under close scrutiny now. The spin-off just now is very enjoyable however!
DeleteI was there for the Tall Ships.
Delete"The boy stood on the burning deck his... " Whurs the Git he knows how to finish it!
DeleteWell, no more adventures for Mr Benn.
ReplyDeleteWhere's our Mr Glenn??
Aye whur is the cantankerous git?
DeleteWhoops, sorry Scotch.
Ah dinnae kenn (;-)
DeleteY
DeleteJust posted one of the best two finger salutes on Farcebook!
ReplyDeleteFFS I can hear Heather Small already!
Well you have to keep your troll status going somehow (;-)
DeleteTee hee
DeleteHave you noticed Erik has suddenly posted likes.
DeleteIt's a sham... two selfies & one fae the partner for good measure. It's akin to The Word back in the day & I'll do anything to get on TV!
Delete
ReplyDeleteOch, weel, therr's always next week...
The boy stood on the burning deck,
ReplyDeleteHe thought, "this is a farce!"
The Captain's gone, so what the heck,
That flame just burned my hand.
Nope, that disnae work.....
The boy stood on the burning deck,
DeleteWhen all around had fled
For he was deaf as a doorpost,
Didnae hear what the fire master said.....
The boy stood on the burning deck
DeleteHis appearance rather glum
It could be worse for it could be
Millenium Stadium
The boy stood on the burning deck,
DeleteAmidst the thickening fog,
Just like DC, he felt alone
Just me, on Norrie's Blog........
(A foghorn sounds in the background - buuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrpppp)
2.34 in the morning? nae wunner it was quiet.
DeleteDoes seem strange without Glen though.
Norrie, Dawes in July - but only support to someone called Conor Orbest. Have to check him out before spending my pocket money.
Bright Eyes Jx
Delete
DeleteWook! Wabbit twacks...
Yep, Julie - you a fan?
DeleteNot really listened to much. Think Catriona quite likes him though Jx
ReplyDeleteYes Conor Oberst is excellent.
ReplyDeleteI think I might be away then need to check. But I would recommend that gig.
Great - already got ticket!
DeleteNo Scot borer
DeleteSo yer back eh!
Deletehttp://youtu.be/YJ5UF5M0i50
Playing hard to get eh?
DeleteThe droogs don't work
DeleteAh Glen, yer back. Just in time coz I'll be intermittent over the next few weeks so you can take charge.
DeleteHave you tried the pads?
Delete
ReplyDeleteEmb'dy oot therr intae quizzes?
A little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Julie 'll do them, she's a whizz at Only Connect and University Challenge.
DeleteI can think of an awful lot of songs that make GIO feel uneasy, in fact I could do a list of McCafferty proportions.
ReplyDeleteBut there's a rainbow outside, maybe I'll go chase it instead.
Why then oh why can't I?
DeleteI blame the negativity of those Better Together types.
DeleteWe believed we'd catch the rainbow
DeleteRide the wind to the sun
And sail away on ships of wonder
But life's not a wheel
With chains made of steel
So bless me, oh bless me, bless me
Come the dawn
Ah Ronnie James, you and your whips and chains.
Donovan caught the wind. Luckily he lived alone.
DeleteA has bean
Deletethis is no' bad
ReplyDeleteNot bad at all.
DeleteA tan bolt din
Deletedan?

ReplyDeleteCheck it out.
I'm back. Did I miss anything exciting?
ReplyDeleteYup... on black magic night we got Wall of Voodoo on.
Delete... only kidding.
This morning BB ran so fast on MacAulay's show he forgot how to add up.
Hey Jx, how long a walk you up fer? If it's the coastal walk, there's great wee stretches of anything fae a couple o miles tae, well, right round the kingdom!
DeleteTry Elie tae Anster at about 5 miles and finish wi a fish supper. Or even better, Crail tae Anster passin Caiplie Coves and intae Cellardyke (pint at the Haven) then a mile onwards tae..... A fish supper
Loads o walks!
(Don't forget yer fish supper)
DeleteSalt an tammatty sauce by the way
TOMATO SAUCE! No thanks...that's OK for chips at home or whatever but I'd take my own wee bottle of chippie sauce if need be. Thanks for the suggestions though. Thought I might be going walking in Fife tomorrow but I'll be getting ready for a wee trip to stay with my sister in John O'Groats instead. Great wee walk to Duncansby Stacks in the offing...and lots of others. I'll definitely try one of your suggested walks once I'm back home. Jx
Delete(Shudder runs down spine......)

Aw, Scotch, fancy you remembering that.
DeleteJust checked tonight's playlist for an alleged trip around the world. Trailing away to Leith and down to Newcastle, Liverpool and London while carelessly avoiding Africa. How parochially typical of GIO. I'll be making mince next Friday. That should go with anything on their playlist.
I'll be eating humble pie followed by sour grapes.

DeleteDon't forget the chip on your shoulder, or I'll eat my hat!
Emdy downloaded the latest George Ezra EP?
ReplyDeletePropur trait! (As we say in the civilised pairt o the country)
I'm too busy trying to acquire the taste for Conor Oberst's flaky voice in the hopes that it'll seem worth £25 come July. Either that or he gets struck down by a 24 hour virus leaving Dawes to fill the night.
DeleteNorrie, were you havin' a laff or is a boy thing, like Neil Young and Bob Dylan?
You can leave after Dawes or have some fun by heckling Oberst and being ejected.
Delete
DeleteSouthern men don't need him around.
Anyhow...
Oberst Schmoberst
Deletegenius idea, the heckling, Glen. I've never been thrown out of a gig. Definitely time.
DeleteDefinaytly time for the new George Ezra EP Gaie
DeleteJust sayin.....
Glen, are you suggesting that Gaie leaves early Dawes?
DeleteWhat she Dawes is her own business
DeleteEzra no others jokes in your repertoires?
Delete*other
DeleteI have Dawes-ens of other jokes.
Deletethat's a shocker, Adam
ReplyDeletebut what youse have all left is
ReplyDeletean open
ReplyDeleteGOAL
DC, that George Ezra beats Conor hands down. Quite a voice from a wee slip of a boy.
