My feeling is 'no' but there will be a Christmas party in London again.

Awards are a bad idea because no matter how they are supposed to be a joke, people get all into them and take them serious, like.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Exactly N. Also Mark S always wins them all.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:16 (twenty-three years ago)

In that case, reinstate them. I demand a chance to whup his ass.

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:17 (twenty-three years ago)

[obv. this would not happen]

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:19 (twenty-three years ago)

they were quite fun but we don't need an excuse to bouze, do we? i suggest in its place a SECRET SANTA!!

― katie (katie), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:20 (twenty-three years ago)

what's a Secret Santa?

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Or an ILX "Stars In Their Eyes" special? Tonight, Tom, I'm going to be Derek Bailey...

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:23 (twenty-three years ago)

(heh Marcello we cd initiate our fiendish "bring back the karaoke!" plan!!) MarkH, Secret Santa = everyone puts their names into a hat, and picks out SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME and buys that person a present which costs less than say 2 quid. this way everyone gets a super pressie!

― katie (katie), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:27 (twenty-three years ago)

but you do not tell the person who it is from , hence Secret.

― katie (katie), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:27 (twenty-three years ago)

heheh ktee xACTLY!! ;-) good old songs from the days when charts were proper charts...

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Awards - prolly not worth it. Christmas party - yes (esp with Karaoke!)

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Karaoke is excellent idea. If Dr C will do a Primal Scream mega-mix I'm travelling over to witness it first hand.

― stevo (stevo), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 12:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Party yes, awards no.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 13:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Party hard, awards weak!

― RickyT (RickyT), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 13:06 (twenty-three years ago)

you can just give me the "worst hair" award and be done with it. (i got a bad haircut today.)

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 13:18 (twenty-three years ago)

**If Dr C will do a Primal Scream mega-mix I'm travelling over to witness it first hand**

I'm not rock enough! I was thinking more along the lines of The Bee Gees or Boney M.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey Dr C, why don't we do a Joe Meek tribute? Altogether now "Sky men, sky men, where do you come from..." in our best West Country accents...

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 9 October 2002 13:49 (twenty-three years ago)

What of FAP October?

― Graham (graham), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 13:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh yeah thats a good idea too. Next week anyone?

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 13:51 (twenty-three years ago)

SELFISH, MUCH??

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

What are you on about, Jess?

Actually I would like Jess and Nath to come over for the Xmas do so that we can do our "Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough" trilogy.

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:04 (twenty-three years ago)

**Hey Dr C, why don't we do a Joe Meek tribute? Altogether now "Sky men, sky men, where do you come from..." in our best West Country accents... **

And then we shoot each other. (If no-one shoots us first).

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:05 (twenty-three years ago)

you lot take the colonials one connection to the ile xmas party away...here we sit...no wassail (sp?)...no hot toddys (actually that just sounds gross)...no, um steak and kidney pie...

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah many's the time I munched me beloved steak and kidney pie of a Yuletide morn...

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:10 (twenty-three years ago)

marcello you can't possibly be telling me that television has lied to me about your country.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think Tom Verlaine has ever written any songs about Italy ;-)

― Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:14 (twenty-three years ago)

("marquee moon" was about fellini.*)

(*this may be a lie.)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:16 (twenty-three years ago)

(anyway, now i must be off to take nancy to the doctors - nothing serious, just a bit of stomach flu i think. m, i'll respond to yr email this afternoon; sorry i haven't yet.)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:18 (twenty-three years ago)

''What of FAP October?''

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:19 (twenty-three years ago)

''Or an ILX "Stars In Their Eyes" special? Tonight, Tom, I'm going to be Derek Bailey...''

i'll be evan parker and we'll have a punch up.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:20 (twenty-three years ago)

No awards without representation!

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:26 (twenty-three years ago)

No to awards/voting, but hopefully we'll have a coupla favourite threads/posts 2002 discussions towards year end. NOT YET THOUGH!

A new "FAP London" thread is U+K. I'm planning to be in London one day next week, so would try and fit my plans around any FAP that's happening then.

― Jeff W, Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Right. Which day suits you best Jeff?

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I can do Monday or Thursday at the moment.

― Jeff W, Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:47 (twenty-three years ago)

(but Tuesday's the only impossible night for me)

― Jeff W, Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Thursday is generally a good FAP night.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 14:52 (twenty-three years ago)

yes to no awards, I'll just assume I won them all, it's better that way.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 16:15 (twenty-three years ago)

oh and for the xmas thing, I can't make December 7th.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 16:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought the awards were fun. But then I am an American and apparently don't count.

― don't tread on me (bnw), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 17:44 (twenty-three years ago)

I like silly awards.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 20:00 (twenty-three years ago)

KARAOKE! Esp as I will have finished my popstarz course -- and hence be a fully qualified popstar -- by then.

― Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 21:09 (twenty-three years ago)

i like awards too. if we had awards right now, i would nominate nicole for at least three.

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 21:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Rah! As it should be. :-) The Dunedin crew would get their share too.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 October 2002 21:40 (twenty-three years ago)

I only think they're a good idea if every city with ILE inhabitants has the ceremony at the exact same time and we are all linked up via live-feed satellite and the actual mayor of each city must hand out the prizes.

― rainy (rainy), Thursday, 10 October 2002 01:25 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm still bitter about losing to a ficticious animal.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 10 October 2002 01:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Jess! don't get mad, get even!

― rainy (rainy), Thursday, 10 October 2002 01:48 (twenty-three years ago)

i also lost to you, if you remember!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 10 October 2002 01:50 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, kick my ass!

― rainy (rainy), Thursday, 10 October 2002 01:51 (twenty-three years ago)

that's not very sporting of me.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 10 October 2002 01:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Yay! Marcello, I am up for that! Jess can be James White while we pretend to be different versions of Wacko Jacko. ;-)

― nathalie (nathalie), Thursday, 10 October 2002 07:39 (twenty-three years ago)

How about you be Derrick Laro and I be Trinity? ;-)

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 10 October 2002 07:45 (twenty-three years ago)

/can someone start a thread about next week's FAP?

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 10 October 2002 09:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Well why don't you start one then if it's so important to you?

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 10 October 2002 09:45 (twenty-three years ago)

no need Julio's just started one.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 10 October 2002 09:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Because FAPs semmingly initiaited by non-steerers are DOOMED.

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 10 October 2002 09:46 (twenty-three years ago)

no awards = consensual admission that i won them all as per
