London: advice needed, and FAP next week? (FAP, Wed 28th June, Charles Lamb)

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I'm off down to London next week, staying in a university hall. I'm unsure, though, what the self-catering facilities are going to be like. Does anyone have any suggestions as to good places to eat, fairly cheaply, especially for breakfast and around the Angel area?

Also, any events, shows or exhibitions on next week that I really shouldn't miss? And let me know if you Fancy A Pint (Of Gin).

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 06:23 (nineteen years ago)

There's the Sausage & Mash cafe just by Islington Green, if you like that sort of thing.

(No really, it's fantastic. Though maybe not that cheap)

Are you here Monday to Friday? Either weekend?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 06:45 (nineteen years ago)

I must say, it would be nice to have an FAP with FP!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 06:47 (nineteen years ago)

Sunday to Saturday, but I'm leaving fairly early Saturday morning because I've got a busy weekend back Oop North.

Someone has already suggested Sausage & Mash, actually - I'll have to give it a go.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 06:50 (nineteen years ago)

I'll be up for a FAP. How about the Charles Lamb not far from Angel station, they had a mild on last time I was there.

Forest, Cafe Konstam on the Kings Cross road is very nice for breakfast, you may even see me there as my office is moving to a location where this will be the best local coffee bar.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 07:11 (nineteen years ago)

Konstam seconded - Ed must be so psyched that it's by the new office.

Places to eat near the Angel include the incomparable choices of Exmouth Market. Posh places and also other places to suit all pockets. Try good Vietnamese food while you're here. Also Upper Street is good - I like Ottolenghi and Tinderbox for coffee, but the first is dear, although worth it. Lots of meze/Turkish/Middle East restaurants - a local empire called Gallipoli seems to have taken over the whole road. Try cheap meal zone of Theberton Street (Le Montmartre does good bistro food reasonably) as well and the Indian Veg on Chapel Market. Avoid the mini-chains (Cuba Libre etc.) and you should find some good things in the gastropubs behind Upper Street on either side.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 07:17 (nineteen years ago)

is the charles lamb good then ed? i've been meaning to go there for a while. and have been meaning to go to konstam for *ages*.

all the suggestions here are good, esp s&m. tinderbox tends to annoy me for some reason, although i'm sure that's just me.

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 08:19 (nineteen years ago)

I had mezze in one of the Galipoli joints, very nice it was too.

― leigh (leigh), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 08:24 (nineteen years ago)

Which hall are you in and I can probably tell you the facilities. On the whole the self catering ones are organised into flats with seperate kitchens (shared between six bedrooms) but they probably won't be full so you should have the basic run of the facilities.

Second the Indian Veg for a meal on a budget, and if you are on Pentonville Road (which i am guessing you may be) walk down the hill to Kings Cross Road and Paolina's for some lovely cheap Thai.

Upper Street is yr Oyster though, not to mention not being a million miles away from the original gastropub The Eagle.

No Toby, I can't be doing with Tinderbox either. But i second Ed at Konstam. I am in our Kings Cross office and grabbed a coffee there this morning (running early for once).

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 08:32 (nineteen years ago)

City University's Walter Sickert Hall, off City Road.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far everyone :-)

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 08:35 (nineteen years ago)

Toby, I drank in the Charles lamb with Emma B a few weeks back. Really good beer selection. I didn't eat anything but it looked good. (are you in the country Toby, maybe we should meet and eat?. Mail me)

Walter Sickert, I think, is where Tracer Hand started when he was doing his journalism MA, he may have some insight into the local area.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 08:58 (nineteen years ago)

Tinderbox do their coffee PROPERLY meaning the cappucino is perfectly proportioned and always free of chocolate dust. It is also served by incredibly cute indie boys, so YMMV.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:09 (nineteen years ago)

Definitely go to the Candid Cafe.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:09 (nineteen years ago)

Tinderbox make a milky weak cappucino just liek everywhere else does.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:10 (nineteen years ago)

So what day are we Fapping?

Wednesday?

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:15 (nineteen years ago)

At the moment I'm flexible, because noone yet has said "can I see you on X?"

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:24 (nineteen years ago)

That sounds dirty.

― Insert Clever Screen Name Here (kate), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:38 (nineteen years ago)

You say that to everything I say!

(I'm busy on the Friday night actually - it's the monthly London Munch)

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, well, when you say you're FLEXIBLE after talking about the dimensions of rails you can tie yourself to, what am I supposed to think? ;-)

― Insert Clever Screen Name Here (kate), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:48 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, I haven't told you what I was up to at the weekend! ;-)

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

the BRB round the corner from angel station does some kind of 2-4-1 cocktails on either a tuesday or a thursday (one of them, the other night is 2-4-1 pizza) if you like that sort of things.

is indian veg that place that does all-you-can-eat for like £3?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:54 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not going to want to go and drink in a cocktail bar on my own.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:55 (nineteen years ago)

Mmmm, Indian Veg, or the Indian Mission as I call it. You will get indoctrinated with Veganism from just walking in the place, but the food is dead cheap and yummy.

― Insert Clever Screen Name Here (kate), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:56 (nineteen years ago)

oh i was suggesting it as a possible venue for FAP!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 09:56 (nineteen years ago)

Candid Cafe is wonky but great. Tinderbox once did a 'Teenage Fanclub Day'. Run a million miles from that place.

Sabor on Essex Road is a South American fusion style restaurant. Not cheap, but good food and nice wine and beer list.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 10:01 (nineteen years ago)

City Road, that's dead near the Wenlock then - for lovely ale and doorstop Salt Beef Sarnies.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 10:13 (nineteen years ago)

The Tinderbox in Glasgow does shite coffee and has uncomfortable seats. For a long time they had a list of every member of the Pastels ever painted on their window. Run a million miles etc.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 10:13 (nineteen years ago)

tinderbox cappuccino is more like a bowl of warm milk. ugh.

ed - yes, i am around, will email in a minute.

apparently the ambassador in exmouth market is good:

http://www.theambassadorcafe.co.uk/

― toby (tsg20), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

tinderbox is ok.

there is this nice place though, just off upper street and onto essex road called the Bar and Dining House who do this fish fingers thing that is really nice.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

may have been pricey though - i dunno i wasn't paying.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

I'm up for a drink.

For food, all the Gallipolis are ok and there's also Mem & Laz on Theberton St and Mem & Laz Cafe further up on Upper St which is a bit cheaper - good for meze and breakfasts.

For a drink - Jorene Celeste?

― beanz (beanz), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 11:56 (nineteen years ago)

Wednesday FAP, Charles Lamb?

Jolly Good can a Mod alter the thread title.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 11:57 (nineteen years ago)

of course there's always also the chapel bar for a bit of club FT nostalgia and happy hour cocktail and tapas.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 11:57 (nineteen years ago)

oops xpost

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

It would be nice to have an actual Club FT... :-(

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

A Wednesday FAP is fine with me.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

huzzah a thread title change

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

Where is the Charles Lamb? I'm confused.

― Insert Clever Screen Name Here (kate), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

Is it the old Prince Albert?

― beanz (beanz), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:42 (nineteen years ago)

How about a street address or something sensible like that?

― Insert Clever Screen Name Here (kate), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Watch this space Marcello.

Actually, not this space. News will come on another thread. I am waiting on a few bits of info, but hopeful.

Charlie Lamb:
http://www.fancyapint.com/main_site/thepubs/pub2654.html

Breton cidre - mmmmm.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

Wednesday's fine by me. First FAP I've been to since before Xmas, unless you count the quiz night. Be nice to see folk again, or in FP's case for the first time.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:51 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry - I don't think I'll be making this. Won't be doing much until the end of the month, and will probably be saving my pennies for Do Dirt the night after.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:55 (nineteen years ago)

Also, I worked round the corner from this pub for a year while being completely ignorant of its existence. And it looks great. Damn.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 13:56 (nineteen years ago)

Ah! The cute indie Glaswegians working in Islington Tinderbox thing makes tons of sense now. Soap dodgers be spoilt because there are so many more places to sit around drinking coffee while ohh, say, Pavement plays on in the background in Glesga than in London, really. But what can I say in its defense other than my coffee/barista interaction has always been excellent?

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

i saw Karen Dunbar once at the glasgow tinderbox.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

Forest, don't forget the porchetta pizza place we went to last time you were down, there's another on Upper street as well.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 07:37 (nineteen years ago)

Aren't soap dodgers either Catholics or Protestants? Am I dreaming again?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:05 (nineteen years ago)

Ooh yes that pizza restaurant was nice.

I do feel a bit uncomfortable going into restaurants and saying "table for one, please".

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:25 (nineteen years ago)

It does suck, I have to do it all the time for work. I get a lot of reading done though.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:27 (nineteen years ago)

Note to self: pack lots of books.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:29 (nineteen years ago)

I don't enjoy the experience of eating alone in a restaurant, but I do enjoy asking for a table for one. If you imagine everyone admiring your confidence, it's a virtuous circle I reckon.

― beanz (beanz), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:31 (nineteen years ago)

I don't mind going to La Porchetta by myself. I mean, it's pizza. Take a book. Though give me a call if you want to go one night because I wouldn't mind the company!

― Insert Clever Screen Name Here (kate), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:35 (nineteen years ago)

I have never been to a FAP but will come along to this and look forward to meeting people.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:44 (nineteen years ago)

I went there yesterday! (the Rosebery Avenue one)

― beanz (beanz), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:44 (nineteen years ago)

we'll be the wierdos in the corner, wear a pink carnation in your button hole.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:45 (nineteen years ago)

I meant to say, I hope beanz comes along to the FAP because I want to see if we ever did bump into each other at university.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:47 (nineteen years ago)

and, yes Kate, that would be good. We should also meet for lunch some time given that I know of a nice cafe just near your office - I believe I've mentioned it before ;-)

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:48 (nineteen years ago)

Looking forward to it! Though I can't promise I'll be wearing a carnation

― beanz (beanz), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 08:49 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha, OK, I'll go if you go, FP. I'm scared.

― Insert Clever Screen Name Here (kate), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 09:01 (nineteen years ago)

Well I've never been there before myself, but I'm sure I'll get there at some point in the week!

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 09:03 (nineteen years ago)

It's literally two minutes from my door, drop me a line as well.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 09:42 (nineteen years ago)

Where, the pizza restaurant or the cafe?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 09:47 (nineteen years ago)

The Cafe, I don't live in the Angel area since a week ago.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

Hope this isn't considered spam, but as Matt DC has mentioned it already and you'll be in town, do feel free to come along to a club night at which at least one poster and one lurker from ILX are going to be playing records on the Thursday night...

― Flyboy (Flyboy), Wednesday, 21 June 2006 09:56 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure it's my sort of music, but it is handily close to where I'm staying.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 22 June 2006 06:55 (nineteen years ago)

It turns out that an old friend of mine is doing a gig at the Betsey Trotwood on Wednesday. He's not on until 10, so we shouldn't need to change the FAP plans, but I might try to persuade you all to come along with me :-)

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Monday, 26 June 2006 09:15 (nineteen years ago)

I may do some folk later in the evening. i shall probably be at the pub early doors.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 11:30 (nineteen years ago)

me too, except i am going to see some madpostrawkshoegazebastards do some angry shimmering shredded songs about teh privatisation of teh rail industry.

― emsk ( emsk), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 11:39 (nineteen years ago)

damn that sounds good. However: Klezmer!

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

Eh? Whossat, Emsk? When did you become such a shoegazer?

― Custard Subsidence (kate), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 11:45 (nineteen years ago)

kate i had this very conversation with you last week... or the week before... or at the schnauss gig? i totally missed out on shoegazing (and plenty other stuff) the first time round due to being stuck in the middle of nowhere with no clued-up village elder to slip me records. there being no tinternet, i was reliant on totp, the chart show and the nme - which was at least good then (1990/1, i think?) but basically gibberish when one first started reading it because none of the terminology made any sense at all, i had no point of reference beyond my parents' record collection which was really really good but basically ended when i was born - it started again around this time though, when i started finding stuff i liked - so i was pretty much choosing stuff to buy by finding adjectives i liked in reviews and a bit of pin-sticking and "is the cover pretty", then seeing what they actually had in the nearest record shops, which unfortunately were a woolies and a whsmith. plus i was out of the country between summer 94 and summer 96. anyway anyway, this meant i was about 18 before i heard slowdive or mbv or any of that stuff by which time no one (afaiknew) was really doing it any more. so i am extra-happy that there seem to be squillions of people doing it now bc i can go and see them and they can knock me over with their layers and layers of sheets of sound. mmm. anyway i am going to see iLiKETRAiNS @ metro. never seen them before but love everything i've heard.

― emsk ( emsk), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

No, I am teasing, I do remember that conversation.

Have not heard iLiKETRAiNS but people on ver TSM board like them. I dunno, I thought they were Emo.

― Custard Subsidence (kate), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

(It's just that I feel vaguely responsible too.) :-P

― Custard Subsidence (kate), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 13:32 (nineteen years ago)

> this meant i was about 18 before i heard slowdive or mbv or any of that stuff

i was 23, but for other reasons 8)

― koogy wonderland (koogs), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 14:19 (nineteen years ago)

So what time is everyone turning up at the pub tomorrow night?

(not that there's any point you answering that except by text message if you have my number, because I'm unlikely to be checking ILX again before then)

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

I'll probably come straight from work which will probably mean between 5:45 and 6.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 16:10 (nineteen years ago)

I'm a aimining for six, or earlier depending on which office I work in.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

Sounds good to me!

I'm supposed to be wandering around town with a random person off the internet beforehand - a different one this time though - so I'll wander down to the pub sometime around 6ish.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

We checked out the pub last night. It's very nice. I hope we get the outside tables. Mmmm, nummy beer. Only had the Chiswick before nearly passing out from tiredness (fell asleep on the train home) but tonight I hope to do a taste test comparison to decide if I like Chiswick or Discovery better.

― Custard Subsidence (kate), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 08:34 (nineteen years ago)

bah, can't be there after all, my dad got the date of my mum's flight home wrong and it is today.

― emsk ( emsk), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 08:53 (nineteen years ago)

I might not get there till after 7. Someone text me if you move on?

― beanz (beanz), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 08:56 (nineteen years ago)

Coming in from Chelsea, so probably about six-ish.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 09:03 (nineteen years ago)

This is on the way home from work, so might make an appearance, probably will

― TS: Alan Stivell - A l'Olympia vs. Magma - Live/Hhaï (Dada), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 09:09 (nineteen years ago)

Does just anybody turn up at these? Is there name badges? Parchesi?

― ZOT! (davidcorp), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, by all means. We will be the person with the enormous blonde dreads. Well, not me, but some of us will be. Oh, okay, Ed.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 14:19 (nineteen years ago)

anyone can turn up. Look for the obvious crown of mentalists.

I look something like this

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 14:20 (nineteen years ago)

Hurrah, I have a crown for I am Queen of Mentalists!

― Custard Subsidence (kate), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

Queen of Ruin may also join you all early doors. I don't have to be in Brixton until 8.00pm and have too much time to kill to hang around after work.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

I probably won't get there until about 7, tho.

Though I discovered yesterday it's actually quicker to walk than to wait for the bus, then brave the bus perils of Angel.

― Custard Subsidence (kate), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

Hello there, I'm at the pub and regretting not having sun glassess. Marvelous.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

Right, see you all in about 30 minutes.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

See you in a bit

― beanz (beanz), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

I think I may just sneak out. It's the last day before my boss comes back, and possibly my last chance to do so.

― Custard Subsidence (kate), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

I was thinking of attending this. But I have just realized that it is miles away.

― the pinefox (the pinefox), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:55 (nineteen years ago)

Well, that was jolly, we should do it again some time. Those not coming to the Folk music missed out.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 29 June 2006 08:31 (nineteen years ago)

did ed choose the pub for its free wireless access? or for the imminent bike rack?

― koogy wonderland (koogs), Thursday, 29 June 2006 08:37 (nineteen years ago)

For the dressed crab, boiled potatoes and mayonnaise.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 29 June 2006 08:43 (nineteen years ago)

That was fun. Today's guardian poster is birds of prey, so we'll need to find a pub that can supply roast kestrel next.

― beanz (beanz), Thursday, 29 June 2006 08:47 (nineteen years ago)

Thanks to everyone else for coming - I had a great time, and so (I hope) did the old schoolfriend I dragged along with me.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 29 June 2006 08:58 (nineteen years ago)

How was the gig?

― beanz (beanz), Thursday, 29 June 2006 09:02 (nineteen years ago)

Good! I enjoyed it! Tiny little place, and apparently "quite subdued compared to most of their gigs", but it still seemed lively enough to me. Shot off a whole roll of film, because they said they need more photos for the website; hopefully they'll come out better than the Shimuras gig photos I took did.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 29 June 2006 09:18 (nineteen years ago)

That was very nice indeed.

― Custard Subsidence (kate), Thursday, 29 June 2006 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

I am slightly disappointed, though, that neither FP nor Ed went to iLiKETRAiNS even though both of them clearly do.

― Custard Subsidence (kate), Thursday, 29 June 2006 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

Shit, I missed this thread yesterday, I only work round the corner! (I still might have chickened out though, I've never met any internet people in real life before)

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Thursday, 29 June 2006 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

Oh come on, you should.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 29 June 2006 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

Next time, eh.

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Thursday, 29 June 2006 12:48 (nineteen years ago)

It was a very enjoyable FAP. A nice small-scale gathering, which is always my favourite type of FAP.

Nice to meet FP finally.

We agreed that everybody owned at least one Belle and Sebastian album.

And I may have unwittingly started a Fantastic Something? revival.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 29 June 2006 13:03 (nineteen years ago)

Joe - next time = tonight at Do Dirt. Which incidentally is only down the bottom of St John's Road if you work in Islington.

(We worked round the corner fromo one another for a year. Funny that)

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 29 June 2006 13:52 (nineteen years ago)

I've got plans tonight, unfortunately Matt.

― chap who would dare to be a nerd, not a geek (chap), Thursday, 29 June 2006 13:54 (nineteen years ago)

I should probably go to this. It's always weird reading references to my neighbourhood on here.

― ZOT! (davidcorp), Thursday, 29 June 2006 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

Dada was B&S free.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 29 June 2006 14:17 (nineteen years ago)

Did anyone find a Krautrock compilation album on the table after I left? I swear I didn't lend it to Ed, I put it back in my bag to take with me to work, but I can't find it now. I hope I just took it out of my bag this morning by mistake when I took out Black Books and switching my commuter reading.

― Custard Subsidence (kate), Thursday, 29 June 2006 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

I just checked my bag and definitely don't have it.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 29 June 2006 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

A Fantastic Something revival was staged in 1999, but perhaps it fizzled out and this is a new one.

― the pinefox (the pinefox), Thursday, 29 June 2006 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

It wasn't sitting on the table, unless it was in that carrier bag full of debris?

― beanz (beanz), Thursday, 29 June 2006 14:47 (nineteen years ago)

ARGH, god, I hope not. I'm pretty sure I put it back in my bag. I took out both a book and the DVD without checking if there was anything between them. Hope it was just in there.

I think I remember you putting it back in your bag, Kate.

Nice to see you lot btw, albeit briefly, but I was (am) supposed to be on a post-holiday wagon and even the sight of that Breton cider was beginning to take an unbearable toll on my poor battered willpower.

We agreed that everybody owned at least one Belle and Sebastian album.

Fie! I'll see you in court!

Phew! I found my krautrock sampler sandwiched between Dylan Moran and Germaine Greer.

I'm not sure I want to think about that, actually.

I bought an iLiKETRAiNS CD yesterday. It has a track on it called "The Beeching Report".

Photos came out half-decent - I'll try and get some scanned in next week some time.
