Review of McMadmeet 2 Day 2
Not long after getting home, it was time to go back out again for day two.
Lauders was the meeting point, and I turn up late to see Cheryl, Colin and
His Royal Highness, The Right Dishonourable Craig Cameron.
Naturally, the tone of conversation lowered considerably from the last
night; MrG got off to a slow start with his pints. But eventually he managed
them and we went off to the exclusively smart Candy Bar, where after a few
drinks I began to feel the last two nights come back to haunt me. Still, we
soldiered on, and a feast of a burger later, mine with cheese. Colin found
it hard to munch his burger though, as it was decidedly bigger and of higher
quality to the ones he's sampled before.
Mr.G does have friends in high places, and Candy Bar was no exception. The
owner came over, "Alright BigChap? Heres some shots for you all" And not
only that, but " Shall I put some Madness on for you?" And so in the highest
class bar in all of Glasgow belts out Baggy Trousers- and a few of the other
punters begin dancing. Class! Candy Bar not only had fantastically tasty
beef to sink your teeth into, but the served really good food too. Plus it
was an extremely aesthetically pleasing bar.
Outside on the way to the 13thNote I began to liven up- the fresh air
sparking life into my weary body.
Once we get there, I nip up the road to George Square to meet Steve and Lara
to walk them down to King Street to the 13th note. Then in arrives Iain
'threads' Mason, minus his other half, who took a funny turn when she heard
that he was meeting his Madness gang...Is Colins mug really that haunting?!
And then in arrived the delectable Ms.Galbraith, turning all the male heads
in the cafe.
As the night drew on, Craig and I discussed whether the lassie that Colin
seemed to be getting close to did indeed swing that way, A few more
'Bennets' jokes were thrown in for good measure too!
Time for the last bus, which in itself would prove eventful to say the
least. So I bid my emotional farewells to the crowd as the prepared to go on
to the club, and I headed out into the dark.
I dont mind much about the walk to the bus stop, except that once I got
there, there was an outrageously violent fight at the other stance. By the
time the bus came I had sobered up , and could probably have walked the
immense distance home too.
A very normal busride home it was too...if you consider a mad old real life
Mrs.Sloecombe with her..cat..on the bus at midnight normal. But the best bit
came just outside Renfrew. Sitting at the back, I could only make out folk
at the front laughing and a woman's voice slightly raised. I could see her
going to the driver speaking to him and addressing those at the front of the
bus. Then the bus stopped at Robertson Park (Just opposite Renfrew police
station.) And off she got, leaving the cat at the front of the bus. Shouts
of 'Kick the cat off driver' were heard, but she got back on and shouted
that she wanted names and addresses of passengers. One woman refused
indignantly, and Mrs Sloecombe fumed, claiming she had been subject to
slander on this bus, being accused of being drunk or on drugs. Then she
turned on the driver, demanding his number. Having had quite enough of that,
and with a number of passengers shouting remarks such as ''f off", "I want
to go up the road you old tart" " get aff the bus missus" he put the boot
down and started to drive off. She yelled to stop the bus, and shouted that
she'd identify the woman to the police and that her mother would sue. The
whole bus was in tears with laughter, and jeers rang out as she finally
buggered off the bus. Probably the funniest thing I've ever seen on a bus.
And so ended my McMadmeet 2 day two!
