FAP in London on Saturday?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

So the trail went cold on the thread about me being abroad, but if anyone sees this and is up for it I'd enjoy meeting up tomorrow (Saturday) evening for a pint. First round is on me.

I'm staying near the Russell Square tube stop sort of near the British Mueseum but can get around. At this point, avoiding the steering committee and having someone just pick a pub would be very nice.

So how bout it?

We must make plans now. Since the steering committee has been busy frightening the horses all day, can I suggest somewhere? How about the Glasshouse Stores, since that is generally popular? Say 7pm? Let's not debate this at length, but if one of our senior officials wants to overrule me that is fine.

It is the internet. you cannot see other people so you're er, subconcious has obv lost it or soemthing.

my subconscious eloped with my id leaving me ego-full yet bereft aged 12 :(

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 25 July 2003 18:50 (twenty-three years ago)

OK, I can be there at 6, Julio. For Aaron's benefit, it's on Brewer Street in Soho, not a terribly long walk from where you are. Look at my profile here for a photo of me!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 25 July 2003 20:15 (twenty-three years ago)

glasshouse stores is a good choice. i wont be there as early as 6 though! that is madness! more like 8-830ish

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 25 July 2003 20:24 (twenty-three years ago)

we will still be there, Gareth!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 25 July 2003 21:44 (twenty-three years ago)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Saturday, 26 July 2003 09:31 (twenty-three years ago)

I know what Carsmile Steve is doing today.

I'll probably see you later, although I am ill and may have to retire hurt before 6.

― Tim (Tim), Saturday, 26 July 2003 10:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Is it your ankles that have given out?

― Lara (Lara), Saturday, 26 July 2003 14:33 (twenty-three years ago)

i'll be there in about 3 hours

― stevem (blueski), Saturday, 26 July 2003 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey everyone! I'll definitely be there. I've been running all over town today and haven't been able to get onto the internet. (The Tate Modern and the Peter Saville exhibit at the Design Mueseum get big thumbs u.)p

It's 5pm right now and I'm going to run back to the hostel and get cleaned up. I'll prolly be at the pub around 6:30ish.

See you guys soon!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Saturday, 26 July 2003 14:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Ms Byrne: my ankles are none of your concern.

Well done everyone for turning out tonight, well done Aaron for havng some quality stories to tell and apologies to all for my loss of the power of speech at about 10 pm.

― Tim (Tim), Saturday, 26 July 2003 23:44 (twenty-three years ago)

great to see you Tim, and everyone else - looking forward to Trig Bruv now, you're all goin down (but not in a blaze of glory)

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 27 July 2003 00:53 (twenty-three years ago)

sadly tim did not lose the power of speech at 10pm

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 27 July 2003 09:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Have we been offered money for this kind of activity by a tabloid newspaper?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 27 July 2003 10:21 (twenty-three years ago)

a toilet cubicle will be made available for any contestants wanting to get it on

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 27 July 2003 10:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Who is coming next week, when I will walk among you?

― Tag (Tag), Sunday, 27 July 2003 11:49 (twenty-three years ago)

sorry I had to leave a bit early. I look forward to beating everyone at trigbruv without knowing the rules.

as long as I'm able to turn up.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 27 July 2003 11:55 (twenty-three years ago)

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Sunday, 27 July 2003 18:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Big ups to everyone who turned out and thank you for a lovely evening of drinking on an empty stomach (thanks for the crisps, Tim!). It was very very nice to meet you lot... sorry I don't live closer to take part more often.

Gareth & Stevem-- it turned out that after we left the pub and went to the restaurant, we magically wound up only 15 minutes away from my hostel & I just walked home. Amazing!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 27 July 2003 19:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, and when is ILX due to get deleted again? I need to get in some posts before that happens.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 27 July 2003 19:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Although I will defend short-notice FAPs to the death, I am annoyed I missed this.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 28 July 2003 08:17 (twenty-three years ago)

get a mobile already!

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 28 July 2003 10:03 (twenty-three years ago)

...I've just realised I was wandering aimlessly along Brewer Street while this FAP was going on. Rats.
