Meet Clairwil!

Hello,

I trust you are all well. I'm feeling unusually chipper this evening which makes a bloody change. Mind you I haven't spoken to my family for a while which helps put a spring in one's step. I see we're all about to die again. Or at least some naughty boys have been caught trying to do something involving air travel. I do wish everyone would calm down. Half the trouble in the world is a result of the human race's inability to enjoy lolling about. Some people can't even enjoy a drink without having a fight. If I were in charge war would be replaced by boxing matches and dance offs. The government would pay for the first round every new year and I daresay we'd all be a lot more relaxed.

Anyway I had no intention of writing a long post this evening so I shan't. The purpose of tonight's post is as follows. Most of you are aware that many people in the blogosphere regard me as a compassionate, Diana like figure. Modesty prevents me from remarking on this, so I shall move on to my next good deed.

My good friend The Ill Man and I will be meeting for a pint at Babbity Bowsters on Blackfriars Street, Glasgow on Friday 11th August at 7pm. I shall be wearing a name badge and the Ill Man shall be wearing spectacles, so we're quite easy to spot. Are you at a loose end? We are especially keen to meet eccentric folk but will talk to anyone, no matter how dull.

Cheerio

D'oh! I thought you were coming to London :(

Dave said...

I am dull, but will not be able to make it. I am in New Zealand.

Billy said...

Were I in Glasgow today, I'd be there.

By the way, I've mentioned the Postcard Manifesto on my blog. Hopefully these means a few more get sent.

iLL Man said...

Billy, that is absolutely no excuse whatsoever. Drop what you're doing and get the train to Glasgow this minute!!!!!

Clairwil said...

Never mind there will be other pints although this one is unique in that I have e-mailed everyone in the gumtree personals and invited them along. Hopefully a few of them will fall in love and name their first born Clairwil.

iLL Man said...

Everyone??? Yikes!

I hope you've reserved a table at Babbitty's

Clairwil said...

Oh no I'm sure they won't all come.
Shouldn't you have left by now, the traffic can be bad at this time.

Clairwil said...

There will be a next time. I'll keep you posted.

Falloff Boy said...

How did this go?
I'm far too dull and socially inept to have considered it.
Plus I forgot.

Clairwil said...

Aw bulletproof you should have come. A good time was had by all. We ended up in Milngavie for no apparent reason at 9am.

iLL Man said...

Is that where we were?

That explains all the dogs and oap's...............

Thank the lord for pro-plus!

Falloff Boy said...

There is no good reason to be in Milngavie ever, never mind at such an unholy hour.

Clairwil said...

Sir Stewart you are quite wrong Milngavie is wonderful. There are pensioners, dogs and a salmon ladder. It's very civilised indeed.

iLL Man said...

Milngavie was a hoot. I actually think it looked great at 9/10 am. The little pedestrian precinct in the village centre was just starting to come alive, mainly with old dears and dog walkers..

As Clairwil said, very civilised. I could get used to it in small doses.

Clairwil said...

Yes the illman is quite right.
If anyone wants to come out with us next time. We are meeting on Friday 1st September at Babbity Bowster.
We're also visiting Amsterdam at New Year if anyone wants to meet up.
