OK, due to Parker Place now being exceedingly popular, certainly when it comes to december anyway, the only night I could get was:

Monday 8 December!

i realise this isn't exactly perfect, but hey, it's likely to be our last one there (ideas for new venues also welcome), and there will be Xmas fun aplenty.

As always its:

Parker Place
51 Parker Street
Off Kingsway
FREE ENTRY

6.30 til they kick us out.

excluding Islamists again, tut tut

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 12:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll be there!

― The Hat Man (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually that may be Eid.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 12:03 (twenty-one years ago)

ha ha

a Monday night will be...interesting. i'm sure there will be some subsequent good ol fashioned weekend ruin to compliment this though

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 12:03 (twenty-one years ago)

the way I feel about my job right now I might just go along without taking a half day on Tuesday...

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 12:04 (twenty-one years ago)

It is 500 yards from my front door. I have no excuse.

(Except sheer laziness which gets me every time.)

― Citizen Kate (kate), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 12:06 (twenty-one years ago)

get a job behind the bar at Parker Place, Kate, and you'll never have to darken the door of a bendybus or be the Mayor of Crankington ever again!

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 12:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Can you imagine the level of crankiness that the usual bar patrons would inspire in me?

Then again, I could be a total bitch and get my own revenge if *I* controlled the supply of alkyhol...

― Citizen Kate (kate), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 12:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i was going to put [insert religious festival of choice] but the title was quite long as it was anyway...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 12:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Will there be a pre-Christmas *normal* FAP, people? Like wiv bar billiards an' ting?

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 13:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't think anybody would be interested in that

― sir chasm (blueski), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes - the FT Xmas Party is nothing whatsoever to do with the ILE Christmas Party and Second Annual Bar Billiards Championship. Nobody's started organising that one though.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 13:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm around from Dec 5th ish so will start *coming to things* again. Ruin.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Will you be 'cutting a rug' with us Dr C?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I fear Ally C and I will be returning to Scotland that afternoon, but if anyone wants to get their balls rolling at lunchtime, we will be pleased to accompany them.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, that's also my sister's birthday! Play something rub like Carter or Shed 7 in her honor.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh god, now I remember why I don't go to these things, rubbish music, Andrew WK, yuck!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

You just need to feel the voibe!

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

There is a difference between Feeling A Voibe and Getting Your Ass Felt Up By An Unwanted Voibe.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

**Will you be 'cutting a rug' with us Dr C?**

Oh yes. Shredding 'em.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 14:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Kate, *if* we play AWK, it will be last, so just leave 5 mins before the end, or go for a wee or something :)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Go for a twee or something.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 14:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Also what is this "*if*" Carsmile?!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

(i'm just trying not to scare her away, innit ;))

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

the only good thing about hearing Andrew WK is the prospect of Matt DC crowdsurfing again altho this is less likely at Parker sadly

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

If Matt DC doesn't crowdsurf I'm going to punch him in the cunt.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think he should have to if he doesn't want to. It was only the density of the crowd that made it at all possible.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

It was the destiny of the crowd, dude.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

i think that's a bit harsh on the crowd Andrew

(cough)

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

OK - Nuclear War set or Europop 2003 set?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

balearic bubble party set

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

chris puts the beef in Ibiza

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll put the "ow that Frikkin hurt" in Mannion soon

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Walthamstow Uncovered

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

you better believe it old boy, see you Tuesday.

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie that we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
Is that the Russians love their children too

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 5 December 2003 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks, now I want to go murder something.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 5 December 2003 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

a jolly, jaunty classic

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 5 December 2003 15:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i am lunching at the anchor & hope with my sister on monday = i will turn up to this half-cut = unprecedented ruin on tuesday morning i suspect. i fear for the poor sixth formers arriving for university interviews who will be greeted by me...

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 5 December 2003 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

say to them DON'T COME TO UNI, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS and breathe booze fumes on them :)

if i can just confirm to you all that the special guest star DJs (i know you can hardly wait) are:

DJ Cabbage
DJ Magnus (TBC) and
DJ Mrs E-Wing

along with the usual suspects.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Toby (et al) - try drinking less.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Carsmile, they are the usual suspects.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

*spits beer over keyboard*

BURN THE HERETIC!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Mark is unimpressed with all the boozy antics talk

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Sigh. I still haven't made up my mind.

― THAT Kate (kate), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm unimpressed by a bunch of grown adults throwing around the term "ruin" like they're 15-year-olds boasting about the fact that they drunk REAL BOOZE in a PUB once.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

You should come, Kate - it's just a FAP with slightly louder music and twatty dancing in the last hour. Also, there is a front bit where you can hide should the Sultans of Ping prove too much for you.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i will be able to attend at some point

― charltonlido (gareth), Friday, 5 December 2003 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

barry none of the special guest stars have ever DJed at FT before, so i don't see how they can be :P

was there an OMD track tom?! i'm probably being stupid but i don't think you mentioned it on the nyplm post (internet here is too slow to check though).

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

OMD - Enola Gay

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks and sorry to those who talked to me on the night - I was way below my usual pretty poor level, what with the physical, mental and emotional stress of my move, which is currently ruining my life (latest update:: the brand new quality boiler I had installed yesterday worked for about one hour!), so i was low and tired and in a pretty poor mood and so on.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

The New North American Sisterhood are all so TALL!!!

Who is in this sisterhood? The one's I've met have been half-tall half-not-so-tall (IE yrself and suzy)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

"ones", even.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I assume it includes Colette, Sarah and Mandee.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:44 (twenty-one years ago)

.. not the Sarah I'm thinking about, it's safe to say.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Sarah is Barry's non-ilx lady. (Do you lurk Sarah?) She is quite tall, as is Mandy, as is Colette.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Sarah posts sometimes as SGS ppl!!!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

PP is back :) all we need now is the return of Momus and ILX Glory Days have truly returned...

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Or rather as sgs - she doesn't like to shout :)

(hey hon!)

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought I felt my ears burning...

― sgs, Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:24 (twenty-one years ago)

and thanks for the correction Pinkpanther :)
(hi Mark!)

― sgs, Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

MOmus was on the "judge me by my living room" thread this afternoon!

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Sarah's email address has just made my sides literally* split :)

*literally in a metaphorical way, obv.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:40 (twenty-one years ago)

the question* is 'does she call you Barry after dark'?

*we're too afraid to ask

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

huh?!?

― sgs, Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

indeed

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

You sick fuck, m.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

quite

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

i mean, QUIET!

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

You're welcome Ms Lasagne, we who are princesses (sadly in name only)have to stick together! ;-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Heh! That reminded me of Sarah in A Little Princess shouting at the nasty headmistress (it was she of the "go to dee weendow" fame, but I can't remember her name) that ALL LITTLE GIRLS ARE PRINCESSES!!!

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

No Kate, just those with the name 'Sarah' are princesses!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

That's not what her daddy said!

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

*shudders*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

No, he was a nice daddy! And the freaky Indian servant with the monkey said so, too!

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh no, yellow fever, OH NO!!

― Papa (starry), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Or whatever the shit he died from.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm actually not that tall. I just look that way.

― Mandee (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, in the film it was TRENCHFEVER except it wasn't it, was just shellshock, and he was alive anyway. Plus, he was American, which was totally weird, because what the heck was he doing in WWI in 1914 WHEN AMERICA WAS ISOLATIONIST ANYWAY!!! - god, I hate dumbed-down American remakes of films.

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I've had a scan through my collection, and here are some more nuclear apocalypse tracks that could have been featured (I was surprised to find you'd already mentioned Jackie Doll & His Pickled Peppers!):

Altern-8 - Armageddon
Horace Andy - Armageddon
Glenn Barber - Atom Bomb
Brand Nubian - Drop The Bomb
Jimmy Cliff - Nuclear War
Ansel Collins - Nuclear Weapon
Culture - Armageddon
Electrohippies - Mega Armageddon Death
Funkadelic - Wars of Armageddon
Majistrate - Fallout
Napalm Death - Armageddon X7
Nuclear Assault - Nuclear War
Prince Far-I - Armageddon
Problem Child - Nuclear Device
Public Enemy - Countdown To Armageddon
DJ Skull - Nuclear Fallout
Trouble Funk - Drop The Bomb
Weirdos - We Got The Neutron Bomb

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 11 December 2003 22:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah Maura recommended the Weirdos one but nobody on slsk had it! Also Bounty Killer has done a song called "Nuclear War" about 9/11 but the MP3 I have of it sounds like it was encoded on a ZX81.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 11 December 2003 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Freak-freak like a bomb and just explode/I'm gonna act like a bomb and just go BOOM.

― Barima (Barima), Friday, 12 December 2003 05:54 (twenty-one years ago)

'Nuclear War' by Sun Ra. He was against it.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Friday, 12 December 2003 08:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Very sound of him I think.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 12 December 2003 09:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Mandee is five-eight. It says so on her driver's license. That's pretty tall from where I'm sitting. In a few hours she'll be back among her own kind and be able to relate slightly unbelievable tales of how she visited a land where everyone was four-eleven in their socks.

I'm sorry to have missed Monday. Can't believe Tom omitted Gentle Despite's Caff 7" 'Strontium-90 (I Yawn Blood)'.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Friday, 12 December 2003 10:08 (twenty-one years ago)

On the Strontium tip, I brought up Strontium Dog when I was in the toilets with Tom, but he wasn't having any of it.

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 12 December 2003 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I quite rightly told you you shouldnt have swallowed him in the first place Mark.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 12 December 2003 10:16 (twenty-one years ago)

no Def Leppard was a shame - 'Gods Of War' or 'Armageddon It'

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 12 December 2003 10:46 (twenty-one years ago)

i LOVE the fact that there's loads of tall girls around here. and sarah is actually taller than me! that hardly ever happens. so exciting.

and, PP, i have to inform you that i've been officially recognized as a princess-- princess crabbypants to be precise. but that's still a princess. queen/mayor kate said it was ok. we had a state visit. i'm even wearing a pink t shirt today. shock horror.

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 12 December 2003 10:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Didn't anyone take pictchers?

― Lara (Lara), Friday, 12 December 2003 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

God, I hope not.

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Friday, 12 December 2003 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Pink t huh Colette? Well then you must be a princess! ;-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 12 December 2003 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry lara, i don't think anyone did :(

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 12 December 2003 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm very glad they didn't this time

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 15 December 2003 11:35 (twenty-one years ago)

me too. it could be, uh, incriminating.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 15 December 2003 11:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, the only thing that saddens me is, we might actually have got an ILX picture of HSA that wasn't just of the back/top of his head!

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Monday, 15 December 2003 11:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Gah where is a Google Image Search picture of the Mr Loverman sleeve when you need one?!
