Hey! Two Scots birthdays on the same day. :D

Happy birthday sueKay and Sha're!

[Nel]

I'll be in Edinburgh, as I work about 15 mins away from the shop.

[dipsofjazz]

What time does it start tomorrow? Is it 4.30pm?

I'm hoping to come, but I've been in bed with the cold, so I'll have to see how I feel the morn. I can't believe he's in my town and I may miss him!

Yes - it's 4:30 pm - hope you feel better soon. There does seem to be a lot of it around at the moment. Lots of people at work are coughing and spluttering and feeling generally yuck.

[BruTak]

Update: Members of SG-999 ateending were as follows - Bru'Tak, Nasty Nick, Kitty, X-Man, The Mad Cackler, and SueKay. Also presents were team mascots - Scoobie, Murray, Mr. Cheeky, and DeHavilland Bear.

Paul McGillion was given as official Team SG-999 T-shirt, with the instruction that should any of his co-stars want one, they have to come to Scotland to get it. :)

NICE! It'd be amazing if they did come to Scotland for the T-shirts...

How was it? Is the guy as big a legend as his character?

[sueKay]

So what do we all think about the latest spoilers??

I can't believe they've got rid of Beckett!!!! Why don't they get rid of one of the americans or something!!!

[Anubis69]

Well, i'm resisting the urge to open that but after being spoiled before, and seeing as it's posted in here, i can only assume it has to do with Beckett. If it's what i think, it's baws. But i'm too scared to press that wee button so i'm going to live out my life in blissful ignorance... Potentially flipping a table over in disgust later on.

[Thunderbird 2]

Hi Guys,

sorry I have been out of the loop again for a wee while. - What was it like meeting Mr McGillion? Did he say anything about visting the UK again in the future?

I am not going to comment on the spoilers, as I have nothing polite to say about it!

[Nel]

I have to say it was great meeting Paul McGillion. I met him at the con and then again at the signing in Edinburgh. It was nice that he remembered me when we met in Edinburgh - but then I did get three photos taken with him at the con.

Although there is a tendency for these sort of things to become a bit like a cattle market, he went out of his way to make people feel special. He had a remark for almost everyone, and it was not just the same remark for all.

He was asked at the con if there was a place that held a special place in his heart or inspired him, and he immediately said Scotland. He said he felt very much at home here, and he loved the history and the culture. He said that again when I met him in Edinburgh.

At the con, it was funny because someone asked him about football and what he thought about England's football team (or something like that) and he made some remark, and then said, and Scotland aren't doing too badly at the moment.

For all that he speaks with a Canadian accent, he seems very much a Scot at heart.

[BruTak]

Yeah, he's a really nice guy... Even if Kitty did accidentally spill Irn Bru over him...;)

[sueKay]

HAPPY ST. ANDREWS DAY!

(though it finished nearly and hour and half ago)

Found this...thought it was amusing...

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Neds

[BruTak]

Oh that is so true...:cameron:

It always puzzled me, if Burberry was supposed to be such an exclusive brand - why the balzes did they make baseball caps?:rolleyes:

[Indiana]

I just shot my third short film. This one is set in Scotland! :)

[sueKay]

YAY!

Is it going online??

[hamstrad]

hello!

[hamstrad]

is anyone online now?:)

[dipsofjazz]

:D Hi hamstrad. Welcome to the thread.

[Missster.Freeman]

Hullo there Hamstrad. The Scots thread isn't as busy as it used to be.

Welcome to GateWorld btw. :D

[Indiana]

YAY!

Is it going online??

prolly not tooo soon. I believe i will probably put the Hitchhiker online. Hithhiker is one we shot up at Balloch and surrounding area. Will probably attempt to flog it around the festivals for a year then put it online then :) I'll have a trailer up. I'll send you a copy on DVD sueKay, seeing as i know ya ;)

[sueKay]

:D

can't wait to see the Balloch one!!

Did that picture of the road do for the poster btw?

And WELCOME HAMSTRAD!!!

[Nel]

Welcome hamstrad - nice to see a new face here.

That's great about the short film Indiana - hope we can get to see it soon.

[Micropot]

Wow, don't believe it has taken me this long to find this thread. Hello all fellow Scots!

[sueKay]

WELCOME MICROPOT!

Yep...this is our little abode on the internet :D

[Micropot]

Yep...this is our little abode on the internet :D

Irn Bru all round then :)

[sueKay]

Yep :D

On the subject of Irn Bru...one of Bru'tak's friends spilled Irn Bru over none other than Paul McGillion!

[dipsofjazz]

:D Welcome Micropot.

[Nel]

Welcome Micropot - and I like the idea of Irn Bru all round.

[_WraithQueen_]

Heh, went to the scottish parliament today with school and got told that the St Andrews bill got passed. Next year there will be a holiday on St Andrews day ^_^

[Micropot]

Heh, went to the scottish parliament today with school and got told that the St Andrews bill got passed. Next year there will be a holiday on St Andrews day ^_^

Yay finally another day off :P

[dipsofjazz]

:D I've brought some shortie to go with the Irn Bru so we can celebrate getting another holiday!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/dipsofjazz/silly%20pics/2033Shortbread-Fingers.jpg

[sueKay]

yay!

woo hoo for St. Andrews day!

It's about time!

[Indiana]

:D

can't wait to see the Balloch one!!

Did that picture of the road do for the poster btw?

And WELCOME HAMSTRAD!!!

I think wehn I saw it, it might not have been exactly what I was looking for. I'll see though. I've not worked on a poster for it as of yet.

[BruTak]

Yep :D

On the subject of Irn Bru...one of Bru'tak's friends spilled Irn Bru over none other than Paul McGillion!

Enough already! Kitty's already aware that that wee incident is gonna haunt her for the rest of her days... ;)

[sueKay]

Aw!

But Paul was really happy to see her :)

BTW...He also likes black pudding so next time she can give him black pudding cos it won't cause any spillage :P :D

[Missster.Freeman]

It's about bloody time St Andrews day was a national holiday. Pfft. I don't think it ever will be as popular worldwide as St Patricks day. But hey, there's always "Tartan Day" (lol) to celebrate...

BTW...He also likes black pudding so next time she can give him black pudding cos it won't cause any spillage :P :DDoes PM actually know what goes into it? hehe. Best not tell him the ingredients. :D I eat black pudding on occasion, but I much prefer fruit pudding with my bacon, eggs, sausage and tattie scone. Oh, and pancake. I love putting my poached egg on top. Yum. :)

[sueKay]

Anybody read the Sun today btw?

Y'know how the BBC are going to be making a new show about Merlin? You'll never guess where they got their piccy of Merlin from - Stargate!

I was flicking through the paper during my lunch break and it took me a minute to realise where I'd seen it before...

...maybe we should sue the Sun for copyright :P :D

[Thunderbird 2]

Hullo folks,

who is doing what over Christmas?

I am going to be seeing family near Dundee, (22nd to 28th) so if anyone is in the area it would be nice to meet up over a couple of jars. Although I might head to Perth on one day, I can't travel further on this trip. :sheppardanime32:

[sueKay]

Well I'm working working working and working over the festive period (the big Jessops in Sauchiehall Street, near where McClellan Galleries used to be)

And I'll be in George Square for Hogmanay yay :D

[_WraithQueen_]

I get to work at home in yorkshire over christmas then new year *partay!!!* :mckay:

I miss scotland already :( i've ony been away for 3 days and i want back

[sueKay]

aw!

yorkshire's not that bad is it? :(

I think I'm working myself into the ground, but it's enjoyable :)

[_WraithQueen_]

yorkshire sucks

The town im living in atm has about 12 shops that are not charity shops and maybe 4 pubs. Oh and a grand total of one peircing studio, which sucks when i'm trying to find an apprenticeship in one :mckay:
The worst thing is i know all the ones in edinburgh, but i cant afford a flat up there so im stuck down in yorkshire when im not at school

[sueKay]

Hmm...can you not try student accomodation?

In Balloch we have about a dozen shops, no tattoo places for miles, two salons, 3 hotels and 3 pubs...the shops are all for tourists, the salons are for rich snobs, the hotels are for tourists and the pubs are a waste of time.

...

I LOVE GLASGOW!

[_WraithQueen_]

heh i can see your love for glasgow :P

And student accomodation is an option, but im still looking into how much, if anything, an apprentice earns.

[Indiana]

Well I'm working working working and working over the festive period (the big Jessops in Sauchiehall Street, near where McClellan Galleries used to be)


Ahh..didnt know that was where you worked. I may go in there to get my photos developed. I've got a couple of spool to get done. Do you get discounts? :p

[sueKay]

I do...but only for me...no friends and family sadly :(

But I may be able to get you a deal...no promises though :)

[Indiana]

Cheers, maybe give you a call sometime then, well an e-mail seeing as I don't have your number :)

[BruTak]

What am I doing for Christmas? You may well ask...

Being unemployed for a start.:( Yes folks, I got the punt from Amazon last night at around 1800hrs.
"Thanks for all your hard work. We'll call you when things pick up." they said. Aye, right! That's what I got told the last time, and what happened? I was on the bleedin' dole for a year and a half...:mad:

Anyway - Christmas Day I shall be spending with my dear ol' mum and dad. While on New Year's Day, we're all invited to my brother and sister in law's place for a feed *food, yum*. It'll be nice cos I've not seen them, or my two nieces for ages.

Well, hope you all have a Merry Christmas, and I'll speak to you all again in the New Year.:)

[majorshrl]

Sorry to hear that Brutak.

I'm at home with the family got my parents coming so chief cook and bottle washer.

[Indiana]

Merry Xmas to the scots! Lang may yer lum reek!

[Indiana]

Just wondering of the scots here, when the Stargate movies go straight to DVD would there be a number of peeps here that would be interested in chipping in to hire a small cinema at the Grosvenor or the GFT to show the movie on a big screen?

[sueKay]

I can't say either way...it'd entirely depend on my finances nearer the time

[Three PhDs]

Just say aye!

[Indiana]

yeah, just say aye. I'm talking about like if it costs £100 and we can get 50 people, thats £2 each. I am pretty sure we could all find more than 50 Stargate fans in Scotland between us all who would be willing to go and see it on a bigger screen.

[cheese]

I'm with sueKay will depend on finances. There will be the movie+travel costs. Plus I suspect the cinema hire might be a bit more than that. It'll probably be £100 just for the movie.

[sueKay]

HAPPY HOGMANAY!!!!!

AND HAVE A GOOD NE'ERDAY WHEN IT COMES :D

and sorry to anyone who was meant to go to George Square tonight!

[Indiana]

yeah, outdoor parties cancelled all over the country. bugger

Happ New Year!

[Eragon]

.... wheres the whisky... ohh wait im only part scottish :(

[Thunderbird 2]

Hi everybody! (Waves and grins madly)

I don't do New Year myself, but I hape everyone else had a good one, and a great Christmas!

Master BruTak, - I was sorry to read of your recent bad news. Take heart, I doubt you will be out of work for long. (I am keeping my eyes open for something better myself.)

:beckett:

[majorshrl]

Hullo and all the best for 2007.

[Missster.Freeman]

Hullo and welcome to 2008! :D

[_WraithQueen_]

heh, if it was 2008 i would be in New Zealand right now

*goes outside*
*freezes to the grass*
Yup, not 2008 yet :P

[dipsofjazz]

Hullo and welcome to 2008! :D

I'll have whatever you've been drinking! :P

Happy New Year gang. :D

[Missster.Freeman]

I'll have whatever you've been drinking! :P

Happy New Year gang. :DTrust me, you wouldn't want to! *cough*Tequila shots*cough* One of those bottles with the worm in it. :eek: My pal offered it to me, but I said "NUP!" Didn't fancy squishing it between my teeth before swallowing. :S

Happy New Year to you too dips. :)

[Anubis69]

... worm? What does it do?

Oh, and Happy New Year to everyone.

[Missster.Freeman]

Technically, Tequila isn't supposed to have a worm in it. That's a drink called Mezcal. The worm is supposed to have hallucinogenic properties in it. I think it's BS really. It was probably just created to see who'd prove themselves to be the bravest of the brave.

[Anubis69]

Huh. That just sounds odd. I think i'll stick to lager! Thanks for explaining MF.

[sueKay]

or the stupidest of the stupid lol :P :D

[majorshrl]

Hullo and welcome to 2008! :D

You had me worried for a mo. Thought I'd overslept again.

[Thunderbird 2]

Hullo and welcome to 2008! :D


Ok, can you please let me know what next Wednesday and Saturday's lottery numbers were / will be? :beckettanime04:

Re drinks, I am a Gin and Tonic drinker myself.

[sueKay]

I'm just getting over that stupid flu bug that's going about...and I've got exams tomorrow and still feel crappy

Good news for my family is that I'm loosing my voice.

*wails*

[Anubis69]

LOL! Must be a Glasgow (and surrounding areas) thing. A couple of my mates (from around there also) had something similar and were too ill to study for the recent avalanche of exams we've had.... and got.

Best of luck tomorrow though.

[Thunderbird 2]

*wails*

Ah, I am getting over that too SueKay. I have found these work:

1 Lots of sleep.
2 Drink fluids (esp herbal teas and water)
3 No solids! If you need to ask you have been lucky.
4 No stress.
5 Minimal doses of asprin or paracetamol, if you can take em.

I got the bug on Saturday, and am almost back to normal now.

[BruTak]

If I might make an interjection, T2 old chap - 1a Bed rest (lots of it) with your favourite stuffed animal to keep you company.

For is it not written: "Happiness is a warm monkey"?:cameron:

[Thunderbird 2]

Interjection noted and approved Master B..

although in my case its a stuffed Elephant! They never forget, and fully sympathise when you have a cold! :beckettanime04:

[sueKay]

Mines is a teddy bear called Fingal after Fingal's Cave :D

[Nel]

All the best with the exams sueKay - and with the dreaded bug!

[cheese]

How ya'll had a great Hogmaney, I sure did, got a nuce bottle of whisky in for the bells too!

Hope the ills soon leave you and that you get on well with the exams. I'm currently waiting on some impending results.

[majorshrl]

Well here comes the rain again. If it wusnae fur ma wellies and all that, I'm off to batten down the hatches the wind is skirling roon the hoose. Probably be oot of leckie soon.

[dipsofjazz]

Well here comes the rain again. If it wusnae fur ma wellies and all that, I'm off to batten down the hatches the wind is skirling roon the hoose. Probably be oot of leckie soon.

Aye, it's the same here. Talkin' aboot the leckie...we had a power cut here last night. The whole area was off for a couple of hours, with not even street lights to help. Thankfully, the power came back on with just five minutes to go before Stargate came on the telly. Phew!

[BruTak]

Mines is a teddy bear called Fingal after Fingal's Cave :D

Well, my wee pal Mr. Cheeky spent most of Christmas Day face down in a big box of Maltesers, trying to eat his way out.

[sueKay]

lol!

Well colour me officially infamous!

My flu got worse, but I couldn't get to see my GP in order to gain exemption from the exam, so I had to go in for the exam (Balloch to Glasgow by train with the flu)

I was hyperventilating and everything went that funny purple way when you know you're gonna pass out, but I was determined to sit the exam.

Nope...when I tried to ask for a seat near a window, the invigilators told me I was in no fit state to sit the exam and sent me out.

After that I had to trudge up to the Politics department to clear everything up...they were very understanding, though I think I scared my tutor cos he backed away from me when I tried to get his attention :o

Now onto the infamous bit...

I have coursework due in today, so I called up to tell the module leader that I couldn't hand it in on time...I told her what had happened and her response was 'Oh! I heard about you!'

(note the fact that she is in a different faculty, department and school!)

...oh well!

As proof of how ill I've been (though I feel a little better now), I actually let the GP take a blood sample when he came out to the house!

[BruTak]

See! This is what happens when you hang around with SG-999! You get "a reputation"...;)

Seriously though, go back to bed with Fingal to keep you company.:)

[Nel]

Poor sueKay - I hope you start feeling better soon. Train travel when you're ill is not fun!

Look after yourself and follow BruTak's advice.

[Eragon]

In my family whenever anyone has any kind of flu we do this
1. rest (this is very important)
2. Mint Choclate Chip Icecream (help coat your stomach)
3. Soup... just plain chicken noodle or vegitable beef soup (provides vitamins and nutrients to help fight that flu)
4. after this you should be getting thursty so have some ginger ale (will help to settle your stomach... atleast it does for everyone in my family)

I hope this helps and that you get well soon.

[sueKay]

so...anyone managed to see Sunday?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Why did they kill off our guy :(

[Missster.Freeman]

I've only seen up to The Return, Part 2. I can guess what happens, so it won’t matter if I click the spoiler.

Aye. Thought so. Damn it. There goes the only Scots representative on a sci fi show since Scotty on Star Trek. :(

[_WraithQueen_]

Damn good way to go though, and so sad at the end! *sniffle*

[Anubis69]

I haven't felt this tempted since my last visit to the garden of eden... :( See that bloody snake...

[BruTak]

According to my mate's blog http://scifirumours.blogspot.com/ Disney are interested in making movies of the "John Carter of Mars" novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

They do know that everybody in the books walks round completely nekkid the whole time, right?:confused:

[cheese]

so...anyone managed to see Sunday?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Why did they kill off our guy :(

Yup, the episode was okay...

...hardly the best send off for him though. I think he deserved a better final episode :(

[Thunderbird 2]

I'll probably read the transcript. I don't want to watch the episode itself.

[BruTak]

Right then you lot. Who wants to come with me (and maybe a couple of buddys) to see a fantastic band - Hayseed Dixie - play in Glasgow on the 25th of April?

You won't regret it, trust me. I say them play the last time they were in Glasgow, just before Christmas, and it was the best night I'd had in ages. :)

[Thunderbird 2]

Good lord, where is everyone?

Sorry BruTac, the 25th is my Birthday - I'll be spending it with my family! If I can swing it though, it would be nice to meet some fellow Gaters while I am home?

[Missster.Freeman]

Whoa! This thread's been gone a long time. Hullo again, Tbird 2. :)

[BruTak]

Well, being desperately skint, it looks like I can't go and see Hayseed Dixie next mont either. BUM! :(

However, I will be floating around Glasgow on the 21st of April if that's a help?

[BruTak]

I'll be hanging around in Perth at the weekend if anyone wants to meet up for a glass or two of the ol' falling down water?

[Thunderbird 2]

I'll be hanging around in Perth at the weekend if anyone wants to meet up for a glass or two of the ol' falling down water?

Hullo Master B,

I can confirm I'll be home between 21st and 27th. Dundee and Perth I can get to, Edinburgh and Glasgow are unlikely. - I am at the mercy of public transport, and after 12 hours on a bus up to get home, and another 12 for when I will be coming back to Bristol, I want to be on my feet as much as possible! :beckettanime04:

[BruTak]

Curses, foiled again! I'm likewise at the mercy of public transport... :(

However, by way of compensation, I shall regale you with the tale of what heppened to me up in Perth on Easter Sunday.

As I may have mentioned elsewhere, my friend Nick and his good lady wife Kitty are both members of the St. Andrews Ambulance Association - which basically means that they're first aid qualified to roughly paramedic standards.
Nick's the Divisional Officer for the Perth company of St. Andrews - which basically makes him the local second in command.

I should point out, that all members of the St. Andrews Ambulance Association are unpaid, part time volunteers, and that the organisation relies solely on donations.

The guys had been asked to provide first aid cover for the Perth Road Runners annual half marthon - the "Heaven and Hell" run.
Heaven because the course take you through some beautiful countryside, and Hell because the course is practically uphill all the way until just after mile 11.

So, the four of us - Nick driving, Kitty riding shotgun, and with myself and their colleague Gary in the back of the ambulance - trundled off to Perth Aerodrome (an old WWII era airfield which was now a business/leisure park) where the event's base was.

Leaving Gary and his first aid kitbag at the finish line, we headed off in the ambulance to trail the back markers and generally keep an eye on things.

Things werer pretty uneventful, until about mile 4, when we got a call that one runner needed treatment for a strained hamstring.
Nick applied a coldpack, while Kitty got the gent's name and address etc. for the St. Andrews records.
The runner decided to drop out of the race, and one of the marshals offered to give him a lift back to base.

So, we went on our merry way, stopping occasionally so that Kitty could take some pictures of the scenery. I on the other hand, fired up my laptop (three hour battery life, yay!) and got down to working out some ideas I'd had for one of my fanfics.

I'd been working for maybe 20mins or so (trying to type a story while sitting in the back of a rackety-clackety ambulance is quite an experience, believe me) when things kicked off big time.
A call came through alerting us to a runner who'd collapsed just short of the mile 11 race marshal's station, and seemed in quite a bad way.

On went the blues an' twos!
Down went Nick's booted foot on the gas pedal!

When we got to the marshal's station, sure enough there was the casualty sitting on the ground looking pretty much out of things.
Nick and Kitty soon had him in the back of the ambulance (I just stayed where I was in the wee jump seat, and tried to be as unobtrusive as possible) and started treatment.
I won't go into detail (mostly cos it went right over my head) but the shortform is - the guy had got the date of the run mixed up, had a bit of a night on the town the previous night (two or three bottles of wine), and nothing to eat in the morning. His blood sugar was way down and, frankly, he was lucky to have gotten as far as he did on the run.

We took him back to the airfield, and got hold of his folks and young daughter (who'd come along to watch him run). Nick explained the situation to the family, he'd been given preliminary treatment, but he'd be better off getting checked out in hospital. The guy's dad offered to take him off to Perth Royal Infirmary for further treatment, Kitty went along to keep an eye on the patient and do an official hand over to the hospital staff.

Drama over...

But the tale doesn't end there - Kitty later told me that the patient's dad had wondered "Who was the guy in black? Was he assesing you or something?"
Consider - I was wearing black combat boots, black BDU trousers, a black hooded sweatshirt, a black bandanna and a pair of mirror shades...
"Oh, he's just a colleague of ours who's observing." replied Kitty with a straight face.

So, I am now an acting, unofficial, unqualified member of the Perth company of the St. Andrews Ambulance Association. :D

[majorshrl]

I was reading through my Sunday Post this morning on my way to the Oor Wullie section when up pops Dr Carson beckett. The headline "Fans help Scots star rise from the dead"

I mean a Sci Fi related story in the Sunday Post!

[BruTak]

I was reading through my Sunday Post this morning on my way to the Oor Wullie section when up pops Dr Carson beckett. The headline "Fans help Scots star rise from the dead"

I mean a Sci Fi related story in the Sunday Post!

Yeah, I read that piece in the Post as well. Hmmm...

Okay, this is just me throwing out some mad ideas but -

Option One: Some piece of advanced Ancient technology allows the Atlantis team to clone Casron.
Why do I keep hearing Stan from South Park? "Oh my God, they cloned Carson!"

Option Two: Dr. Carson Beckett MD, "wakes up" in his casket with a blinding headache, a strange buzzing feeling in his skull, and the sudden urge to behead people with a ruddy big sword - "There can be only one!"

Option Three: Dr. McKay keeps seeing Carson wandering around Atlantis - Carson's wearing a white suit - "Only you can see me Rodney, only you..."
Yes folks, it's "McKay and Beckett (Deceased)", or if you're from the US "Our Carson the Ghost".

Option Four: Carson does a "Bobby Ewing" and steps out of Elizabeth's shower, revealing the last half a season to have been just a dream.

Make of that what you will... :D

Afternoon all!

Well, the interesting thing is, they have said Dr B won't be a ghost / time traveller / parallel reality visitor / hologram etc. It will be Dr B, human, alive, the same character! That's really got me thinking! :beckettanime14:

I am no complianing at what method they use, I'm grateful that Dr B is going to be back, and Mr McGillion will be getting thwe chance to play him again.

By the way Master B - do you go on hillwalking / camping trips? From your story, (which was great by the way) you could be an expedition medical officer!

[BruTak]

Climber? Hillwalker? Me? Good God in Govan no! Can't abide the countryside - it smells...

[sueKay]

I LOVE hillwalking, hiking, camping etc :D

I reckon that at some point along the way, Beckett was swapped for a clone.

Remember in Vengeance, Michael managed to engineer Super-wraith...What if he'd combined Beckett's DNA with Iratus DNA, made a Beckett Wraith and then given it the retrovirus, before somehow using his telepathy to copy Beckett's consciousness and memories into the Wraith clone

[BruTak]

Hmmm...

I'm quite partial to McKay and Beckett (Deceased) myself. I think McGillion would look good in Marty Hopkirk's nice while suit.

[Thunderbird 2]

Hi folks,

I am pleased to report I will probably be in Glasgow tomorrow around lunchtime for a couple of hours! - Let me know if anyone would like to meet up over lunch to say Hullo! (I'll check back here tonight before 11)

[sueKay]

I'll be free between 1 and 2, and from 4 o'clock! :D

edit: incase you're worrying about this uber-quick reply, I was checking my subscribed threads lol!

[BruTak]

I'm skint. :(

But I'll be in Glasgow next Sunday, the 29th, if that's any good to anyone?

[Thunderbird 2]

Excellent Suekay, I am planning to be in Forbidden Planet about One, and generally doing sone nosing around the shops. - I never worry about uber quick replies, unless they are spam! :beckettanime04:

- Sorry Master B, I'll be arriving back to Bristol on the 29th.

[sueKay]

Anybody else gonna be able to make it?

[sueKay]

Thunderbird - sorry, but I can't make it today :(

stupid timetable changes cos it's the end of the semester :(

[BruTak]

Ok, I'm throwing out a suggestion to all my fellow Scots.

The Transformers movie comes out in mid-July. Who's up for a meet in Glasgow, a few glasses of falling down water, and the movie?

[Thunderbird 2]

Thunderbird - sorry, but I can't make it today :(

stupid timetable changes cos it's the end of the semester :(

Sorry SueKay - I am only getting your message now! On the comedy side though, I spotted a lassie who was coming out of FP while I was waiting. Except for the hair colour, she could have been your double! I nearly called out, but retrospect, thank heavens I didn't! - She must have thought I was a right weirdo staring as she went past! :beckettanime09: Not to worry, somehow (I don't know when at this point) there will be another oportunity at some point.

On that note, I can't make any promises Master B, I wish I could - but if it is possible for me to head North during July I'll let you know ASAP.- Chances are slim, as I think one of my colleages has booked the whole month off. (Don't ask, it would take too long to explain.)

Out of curioustiy, does anyine in here head south for thr big conventions near London, or Bristol?

[BruTak]

I'm making tentative plans to go to the Bristol Comics Expo next year.

[sueKay]

I'll be going to Pegasus 3 :D

[Missster.Freeman]

And I need to get out more. :( :P

[Anubis69]

So. Has everyone decided who they're voting for?

I know it's bad karma to ask specifically who folk are voting for so i shoulder-dodged that question...

[BruTak]

I have indeed decided who I'm voting for. But it won't be this fella... ;)

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f158/Silent-Ninja/VoteSaxon1.png

[sueKay]

I may believe in cold hard logic, but I am superstitious...I don't wanna jinx my party! lol!

I had to laugh though, when I found out that my old Modern Studies teacher was standing for the 'Tommy Sheridan Fan Club' - yes, he's standing for solidarity! lol! *rolleyes*

[sueKay]

Omg...8000 Posts!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the SSP are kinda seedy aren't they...

(:P)

^^ Solidarity. Tommy Sheridan really pisses me off. See his broadcast last week? Rididulous!

[Missster.Freeman]

LOL BruTak. :P I didn't know he was in the running for a seat in the Scots elections, mind you.

As for who I'm voting for, I'm still a bit undecided. To be honest, I haven't been paying much attention to the entire campaign. Just yesterday a whole slew of campaign leaflets came through the letter box. They went straight into the blue recycle bin.

I won't be voting for the Tories, Labour, Lib Dems, Scottish Pensioner party :S or any other of the minor parties. Man, I dunno, I'll probably decide on the day of voting.

[sueKay]

Well I'm an active, card carrying member of a political party (one of the main four) so I've been leafleting, canvassing etc, and I got to shout at and piss off 'the best wee numpty in the world'!

- http://youtube.com/watch?v=HuvLVXXKt6I

[BruTak]

What is it with Tommy Sheridan anyway? He's orange FCOL!!!
I mean his skin colour BTW, not that he's a member of the Orange Lodge...

Didn't Bob Dylan sing a song about him? "Hey Mister Tangerine Man". :D

[Missster.Freeman]

Here's Johnny!! Awesome, sueKay. That was brilliant! :D

There must be something about MS teachers and that party, mine was trying to get me to go to a rally of his in edinburgh the other day.

Unfortunatly i am still to young to vote, damn this stupid age limit :mckay:

[sueKay]

I was a polling agent when I was 17...there I was, unable to vote, telling other people who to vote for lol!

All the canvassers were out in force on Byres Road today :)

[BruTak]

Quick tip folks - if you want to avoid being accosted by pollsters and whatnot, wait til they're busy bothering someone else, then duck round behind them. :D

[sueKay]

I have another way - flash my party membership card :D

The other party reps looks sad and mumble, the members of my own party smile and let me go :)

either way you don't get bothered :D

If you can't make up your mind which party you like, but want the benefit of getting left alone - join the Monster Raving Loony Party :P :D

Exactly! It's a bit extreme but you've got to sacrifice someone in front of you for the greater good. I like to think of it as natural selection...

My personal favourite to dodging folk in the street is a witty quip. "Sorry, I don't smoke", "Add me to MySpace", "I don't believe in Charity" etc. etc. etc. (... One of those I haven't used. Try and guess which one, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! :P)

[BruTak]

But sometimes you just have to go with a good, old fashioned - "Get the f**k out of my way!" - for the more persitant ones.

[Anubis69]

eg. Hari Krishnas.

[dipsofjazz]

:D I find the easiest way of avoiding them is to stay at home in front of the computer.....forever. :P

[firefly827347]

[Missster.Freeman]

We'd be stuck with them forever! :eek:

[BruTak]

Actually, this kind of sunny weather's great for getting rid of them.

Just wear a pair of mirror shades, and growl at them...

[sueKay]

I think I said something really awful to a Hari Krishna or a Gouranga person one shortly after I'd lost a friend.

I think it was 'Satan loves you' or best of that effect :S

[sueKay]

Anyhoo...I'm off to spain...see you all in a week :D

[Nel]

Anyhoo...I'm off to spain...see you all in a week :D

Have a lovely time in Spain, and have fun.

Lucky you, and congrats on 8000 posts.

[sueKay]

Hola from rainy Spain!

the weather is atrocious, but still trying to look on the bright side, though my dad is being a royal pain in the butt.

[firefly827347]

Aren't dads always? :P Hope you're having fun!

[BruTak]

Aren't dads always?

Amen to that oh my brother...

[sueKay]

"The rain in Spain is mainly on the plane" my ass!

It´s all in Catalonia!

My parents have been permenantly drunk since Sunday, besides today cos they´ve been nursing their collossal hangovers.

I can´t believe we left a sunny Prestwick airport for a rainy Costa Brava.

It just ain´t fair!!

And I trust you´re all voting today?

Gotta dash!! :)

[firefly827347]

Congrats on 8000 Sue! And I'm a year too young to vote :o
It's nice and sunny here...:P

[Missster.Freeman]

There's still not a cloud in the sky at sunny Ayrshire. :P

I'm going down to vote after I have something to eat. I'm in two minds whether or not to vote for my party of choice now.

Earlier today I received a phone call out of the blue from a member of the party I was going to vote for. I could hear the subtle hint in his voice when he asked me if I had been down to vote and if I needed a lift to get there. I hate receiving cold calls and I don't like being told who to vote for no matter how polite it may have sounded. I'm not actually a member of this party so I don't think I should feel obliged to vote for them.

[BruTak]

You should've stayed at home SueKay -the weather here's been gorgeous all week. :D

Oh, and FYI? It's "plain", not "plane". ;)

[sueKay]

:P

Oh boy...this election´s too much to bear! 7 seats to go and it´s been swinging between Labour and the SNP!

It´s been pouring it down all week here...d´oh!

I voted by proxy :)

Hope all the election stuff will be over soon...the UN election committee have branded us a ´nation of idiots´ :rolleyes:

[dipsofjazz]

:D SueKay, the SNP have won by one seat.

[sueKay]

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Missster.Freeman]

Not in my town though. We're true blue once again. :rolleyes:

[firefly827347]

I'm so glad I'm not old enough to vote. The whole thing confuses me :lol:

[BruTak]

I'm so glad I'm not old enough to vote. The whole thing confuses me :lol:

Bubba, I'm 36 and it confuses the hell out of me as well... ;)

[Anubis69]

Bubba, I'm 36 and it confuses the hell out of me as well... ;)
... and around 1500 people in each region apparently. Unbelievable.

As for the SNP winning... No Comment.

[Thunderbird 2]

Bubba, I'm 36 and it confuses the hell out of me as well... ;)

Erm, voting? What just happened? Heh, you are not alone Master B! 32, and Im lost n'all! :beckettanime14:

[BruTak]

Ok, the business of "Which ballot paper do I put the cross on - which one do I mark 1, 2, 3" etc. and so on - that I figured out.

However, I still managed to put one of my ballot papers in the wrong box - "That's ok." says the invigilator, "That'll be sorted at the count."
I sincerely hope so...

[Thunderbird 2]

Hm, in the end to save a lot of fuss I switched to postal voting last year. A lot easier I must say.

SueKay, - How is spain? Are you still there or back home?

[sueKay]

I came back a few days ago :)

[dipsofjazz]

I came back a few days ago :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/dipsofjazz/Sam-smilies/samanime30.gif You brought the rain home with you!!!!!

[sueKay]

...yep...can't win can I lol!

We left sunny Scotland for rainy Spain, and left sunny Spain for rainy Scotland!

[BruTak]

Well, the big news (apart from me fighting a chest infection) is that my friends from Perth - Nick and Kitty - have been suspended from the St. Andrews Ambulance Association.

Why? They don't know. They only got notification of it today.
They kind of suspect it's someone from the Dundee branch of the St. Andrews Ambulance that's got it in for them.

More news as I get it.

[sueKay]

How the hell did that happen? :(

[Thunderbird 2]

Suekay - Did you have agood time, and did you bring any pics with you? - I like the rain, like the Tunnocks wafers it remind me of home!

Master B - Get well quick! A chest infection is no laughing joke. You take it easy. Re Nick and Kitty, it soulds dodgy if no reason has been given. They should ask for an explanation.

[sueKay]

Yeah I've got piccies - put up a few of them at my deviantart - http://suekay.deviantart.com

more to come in the next few days :)

[BruTak]

Well, like I said - they really don't have a clue what it's about. The problem is, the guy at HQ in Glasgow who handles such matters is on holiday this week.

Fortunately, Nick's got an indirect line to the big boss fella himself, so hopefully he'll be able to shed some light on the matter.

[Commander Ivanova]

Yeah I've got piccies - put up a few of them at my deviantart - http://suekay.deviantart.com

more to come in the next few days :)

So it stopped raining long enough for a few pics then.

On the subject of the elections, who will admit to messing up their ballot paper? Easily done, though of course I got it right *smug grin*
And what do we think of this next step on the road to independence? Took me completely by surprise but then I've been out of the country more than in over the last year or so, so my finger hasn't exactly been on the pulse.

[sueKay]

Well I'm pro-independence, but with it being a minority government I can see certain parties trying to block every piece of legislation.

I'm really annoyed with the Lib Dems at present - the Lib Dems are the fourth party now, and still want to play power games and get the bigger parties to bow to their pressure...I've never liked Nichol Steven. Not one bit.

My vote wasn't spoilt, as I got our local councillor to do my proxy vote for me :)

[Missster.Freeman]

I think (I hope) my vote was okay. Aye, it's going to be really difficult for the SNP to govern Scotland. But I'll be really looking forward to Salmond butting heads with the anti-Scot - Brown when he becomes the next Westminster PM. It will be interesting times ahead.

The Lib-Dems are a pro-unionist party. They will never agree to a coalition unless the SNP drop their independence referendum. They are only sticking by their principles. Oh wait, did the Lib-Dems refuse to enter coalition talks in the previous election? I see the Green party are currently in negotiations with the Nationalists.

[sueKay]

Nichol Steven just wants power - power that even Annabel Goldie has more right to than he has.

Another thing

"Liberal" - "Free"

The Lib Dems have said all along that Independence isn't an issue, yet they'd deny us the right to make that decision in a supposed 'free' democracy. If they were true to their name they would let people decide if they wanted to be part of the union or if they wanted independence.

And since it isn't an issue...surely they'd have nothing to fear with an independence referendum - the referendum doesn't suddenly mean that the UK breaks up does it.

[Thunderbird 2]

Yeah I've got piccies - put up a few of them at my deviantart - http://suekay.deviantart.com

more to come in the next few days :)


Nice work Suekay! I always like architecture shots, but its nice they are blended with some of the coastline and the countryside too. The Barcelona City Hall reminds me of the Chambers building on The Royal Mile, or the (Sadly long demolished) Pillars Town hall that existed in Dundee over a century ago. How big was that Girona Cathedral?

[sueKay]

pretty big...maybe about the same size as Glasgow Cathedral, but the square-ish design and it's position (completely covering the top of a steep hill) made it seem really imposing.

Thank you :)

[BruTak]

Hmmmm... I dunno... Money's kinda tight at the mo.

Trying desperately to save my pennies for a couple of cons in October and November.

[BruTak]

Anyone going to the Grampian Military Vehicle Tattoo on the 26th of August?

Hopefully, myself and a couple of the gang from SG-999 will be there.

[sueKay]

Sadly no...

Anyone going to any events at the West End Festival?

[sueKay]

My neighbour and I were discussing this...

Don't you think Alex Salmond looks like Shrek?

[BruTak]

Well, now that you come to mention it... ;)

[Missster.Freeman]

That is shocking!! :eek: How could you say that about our glorious leader? :D

[BruTak]

Politics? *shrugs*

They're each as bad as the other.

But the resemblance is uncanny...

So who d'you think McConnell looks like?

But seriously folks, I'll be in Glasgow practically all day on the 21st of July if anyone fancies going for a few jars or whatever?

[Anubis69]

... Glasgow Airport. :eek:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/6257194.stm

[BruTak]

... Glasgow Airport. :eek:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/6257194.stm

Yeah, I heard about that on the news. Blimey!!!

Mind you, I'm old enough to remember there being a wee Fox armoured car and a bevvy of squaddies on duty at Glasgow Airport during Gulf War I.

[Anubis69]

As in a permanant military presence? Or only occasionally?

[BruTak]

If memory serves, it was just for the duration of the War. This was in the days when I got the bus too and from Glasgow, rather than the train.

No idea if there's a military presence at Glasgow Airport now though, although the last time I was there (November 2005 - flying to and from London for the Wolf SG-10 convention) I did notice a few members of Glasgow's Finest on patrol armed with H&K MP-5s.

[sueKay]

I can't believe they attacked Glasgow airport :mad:

Heck I'm just back from Glasgow and didn't find out about it til I got home1

[BruTak]

I can't believe they attacked Glasgow airport :mad:

Heck I'm just back from Glasgow and didn't find out about it til I got home1

A big hand please, for the brave men and women of Glasgow's Finest.

[Missster.Freeman]

I couldn't believe what I was watching earlier today. It's the first time I've ever seen such an attack take place in Scotland. Made it all the more shocking. I'm just glad that it failed and no one inside the airport got hurt. Apparently, there was a suspect device found at the hospital where one of the men is undergoing treatment for his burns.

[sueKay]

News 24 said the guy was wearing an explosive belt - they were suicide bombers

[Anubis69]

News 24 said the guy was wearing an explosive belt - they were suicide bombers
I've heard at least 3 different stories as to what happened, i think i'll just wait and find out when everyone's emotions are a bit calmer tbh.

[sueKay]

Yeah but that was what was on BBC news 24.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6257606.stm

look under the heading 'Clear similarities', fifth paragraph down

[Anubis69]

Yeah but that was what was on BBC news 24.
What was their source?

ETA: nevermind, posted before you edited.

[Missster.Freeman]

News 24 said the guy was wearing an explosive belt - they were suicide bombersYep it was confirmed. I was just reading the BBC Scotland news page and they've added this update:

Chief Constable Willie Rae told a news conference in Glasgow that the suspect at the city's Royal Alexandra Hospital was being treated for severe burns and was in a critical condition.

He confirmed a device had been found on the suspect.

"As a consequence of that, the hospital was partly evacuated until the device was removed and put into a safe area," he said.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/6257846.stm

I've heard that Prestwick Airport is now under police guard and I would assume the rest of the airports in Scotland would be as well.

[BruTak]

The RAH in Paisley? Bloody hell! My mum's been in there all week, only got out yesterday afternoon...

[sueKay]

There's been a controlled explosion on a car at the RAH

[BruTak]

Am I the only one here who's - concerned (to say the least) - about all this business?

I mean, prior to now, this kind of thing just did not happen in Scotland.

As a rule, us hardy Scots folk do not go around pissing other people off - that's why we have Americans.

[sueKay]

It's cos Gordon Brown's PM now

[BruTak]

It's cos Gordon Brown's PM now

Granted, yes. But IMO the Scots are among the most tolerant people on Earth, we'd have to be in order to put up with all the nonsense that spews out of Westminster.

[sueKay]

lol!

Well a security and terrorist analyst said in one of the papers (the sunday herald maybe) that Glasgow was targeted to hit Brown's 'back garden' so to speak.

[Missster.Freeman]

Yep, sueKay. Now that a Scot is in number 10, the extremists wanted to deliver a message right into his heartland. I'm just glad they didn't make a good job of it.

I'll say this though, those misguided individuals who took part in the attack will still not make me lash out at the Muslim - Asian community. That's exactly what the Islamic extremists wanted and it plays right into the hands of the knuckle draggers, who will be calling for a safer, whiter Britain. :rolleyes:

[sueKay]

Lashing out at another part of the Scots community is the last thing anyone should be doing...but I think the teen race gangs in Glasgow will just love this :(

[BruTak]

Indeed. My local corner shop is run my an Asian gent, and when I was getting the papers and whatnot this morning, I wished him a good morning as I always do.

Politeness cost nothing.

If the extremists want to hit Gordon Brown (*sings* Texture like sun...) in his "back yard", why not bomb Kirkaldy? That's where he's from originally isn't it?

But then again, I suppose Glasgow's easier to find on a map than Kirkaldy...

[sueKay]

These people think we're all the same anyway

[BruTak]

These people think we're all the same anyway

*drum roll, cymbal clash* B-dum tish!

[Missster.Freeman]

LOL! BruTak. Golden Gorden Brown! I read it like that too. :P

I think it's because Glasgow airport is the busiest in Scotland and the attack was supposed to be one of what is known as their "spectaculars."

[BruTak]

Changing the subject totally - I'm feeling kinda warm an' fuzzy inside...

Know why? Well, my younger niece - Zoe - has named one of her stuffed animals after me. :D

[dipsofjazz]
