Mitch is in London on the Monday and we're going to give him a rip-roaring British welcome by way of a FAP. Watch this thread for details.

That's the final piece in my ruinous next-week jigsaw sorted then.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 12 December 2003 12:27 (twenty-two years ago)

As is always the case with visiting Americans I suggest a Sam Smiths pub. The Champion anyone?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 12 December 2003 12:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Won't it be full of christmas shoppers in need of a booze intake, being so close to oxford st?

― Vicky (Vicky), Friday, 12 December 2003 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm yes good point, best get there early then.

(Or choose somewhere a tiny bit more out of the way like the GLASSHOUSE STORES)

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 12 December 2003 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Hurrah for b33r! Unless it means you have to take a day's holiday from work on account of the induced ruin, that is.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Friday, 12 December 2003 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

my Mitchfap brings all the boys to the yard

Glasshouse has annoyed me lately because their downstairs seems to be always either closed or hired out...probably safe for Monday eve tho

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 12 December 2003 12:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Also of course the place is so evocative of ILX history - it's like the Stratford on Avon for US ILXors or something! (Yeah right.)

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 12 December 2003 12:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh dear lord... My Temp Agency office party is on that night, and I was looking for an excuse to avoid it. I tried to schedule drinks with a friend, but she cancelled on me, the bee-yatch, so hooray for Mitch providing a new excuse!

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Friday, 12 December 2003 12:59 (twenty-two years ago)

i might come along-- similar to matt DC that will mean a full 7 nights of holiday cheer.

and things like 'doing laundry' and 'pack for trip home' seem really insignificant when considering the 'reason for the season'

(now i'm gagging on my on insincerity)

plus, could be fun!

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 12 December 2003 13:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I may not be able to make this :(

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 12 December 2003 15:22 (twenty-two years ago)

no sinker OR tracer?? bloody hell

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Friday, 12 December 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

We shall see...

― Barima (Barima), Friday, 12 December 2003 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

arrrgghh...I leave for London on the 15th. I wish I could make it...but is there one later in the week? I'll be around till the next monday.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 12 December 2003 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

There's another on the 19th, Anthony! I shall be at both, I'm pretty sure.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 12 December 2003 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

hey I brought it up on that other thread, but is there a thread for the one on the 19th? I can't find it!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 12 December 2003 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Christmas Time (Don't Let The Beers End)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 12 December 2003 22:48 (twenty-two years ago)

thanks!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Friday, 12 December 2003 23:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm... maybe. We are getting broadband at home earlier in the day, tho.

I don't actually think I've ever been to the Glasshouse, oddly enough.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Saturday, 13 December 2003 21:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll see how I feel after work, I'll have just come off a 12 hour shift, so I'll probably want a beer.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 14 December 2003 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll be xmas shopping in town all afternoon => this is ideal.

― toby (tsg20), Sunday, 14 December 2003 23:39 (twenty-two years ago)

William you can surely stop your frenzy of dog porn downloads for the 3 hours neccessary to come and welcome Mitch!!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Monday, 15 December 2003 08:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I can do this after all, yay!!

Is this at the Glasshouse Stores then or can we quiz it up at the Swimmer??

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 15 December 2003 09:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Swimmer is too far North I'd guess (it is for me anyway) - though where is Mitch staying?

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Monday, 15 December 2003 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I think this has to be the Glasshouse Stores. North London, whilst handy for me, is no good to most ILxors, and Toby is Christmas shopping. This is ideal!

I'll be there about seven for a couple. Honest.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be there a bit earlier than 7 probably, but I must must must leave at a sensible hour or disaster will ensue.

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

blimX0r, i haven't been to the GHS in aaaages, seems rude not to pop in for one or two, although i mustn't stay all night as i'm a little rough around the edges (sore throat etc) at the mo

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:26 (twenty-two years ago)

What Tim said. I am already well ahead in the beers drunk to days of week passed ratio.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be there about 6 - 6.30, but too am only stopping for a couple - no nights in this week :0(

― Vicky (Vicky), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'm going to be dabbling in the dark art of going home first, for a variety of reason. Should be there about 8.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Going home first? That's unheard of!

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I am feeling vomitus today - I will see how I feel regarding whether I make this or not :(

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

(Also the fact that if I come straight from work, I will be in the GHS at 5.31pm and that would be silly).

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:33 (twenty-two years ago)

eek, I thought it was the only qni before xmas tonight!

ok then, just a couple mind.

― chris (chris), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:34 (twenty-two years ago)

(There's always eating before you booze, Matt, but OBV that would be MADNESS and CHEATING).

― Tim (Tim), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Will be there if my friend doesn't want to play Medal of Honour: Kill some Japs this evening.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Matt matt matt, 5.31 is about 10 minutes after i'll get there ;)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:41 (twenty-two years ago)

ooh bollards i forgot about this, but i think i can still make it

matt dc do you have my DVDS?!?!?!?!?!

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:51 (twenty-two years ago)

i will hopefully be in for a couple early doors, then off home as i have woken up with horrible blocked sinuses etc etc ~~and suede's dog man star gig is on radio 6 tonight~~

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 15 December 2003 10:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Not sure if I can make it, mainly because if I drink much more my kidneys are going to pack in. I have over done everything in the last few days.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 15 December 2003 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Anna, come to the pub but don't drink (much)!

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 15 December 2003 13:14 (twenty-two years ago)

can anyone do the FAP link for mitch?

― cis (cis), Monday, 15 December 2003 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

it is worth checking to see if the downstairs will be open i think

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 15 December 2003 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Downstairs is always open on a Monday.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 15 December 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, that's bollocks.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 15 December 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

i just rang them and asked if the downstairs would be open and the lady said 'no there's a private function on down there tonight' - this means seating space will be very limited, maybe not even room via the main entrance/stairs

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 15 December 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be there circa 6, I think. I want to get my Secret Santa gift first, as that has to be bought this week.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 15 December 2003 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, you made that up. It is quite possible that downstairs will be booked. But I don't think today will be too hideous, everyone (even the non-pubgoing pubgoers who are out in force this month) will be gearing up for Christmas parties.
(X-Post obv).
Your point Steve, it is not going to be a huge FAP, and the bar billards table is upstairs.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 15 December 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Why don't we just congregate round the bar billiards table and intimidate the snogging couple and Japanese tourist into GETTING THE FUCK OUT for Mitch?

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 15 December 2003 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Skipping 270 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

(xpost)Well, nice to see you back. Now back to people picking out outfits for tonight...

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 15 January 2004 10:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think I'll be along either - finances extremely dire and the Pint Pot being a hole = me going home to eat gammon until my eyes bulge, I'm afraid. But... I guess you kids will survive... :)

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 15 January 2004 11:00 (twenty-two years ago)

me neither, the very thought of going to a karaoke night sober makes me want to shoot people.

― chris (chris), Thursday, 15 January 2004 11:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Argh! Wait, what is going on now? Karaoke? What madness is this? Non/Sense from 8pm? What time will people be at the Pint Pot? Maybe I can drop by for a halfpint before skedaddling to the bus to the Foundry? If I get there early, it will be before the Karaoke begins? Perhaps?

Dammit, I need to be hungover and wretched to get on a plane tomorrow!

― the river fleet, Thursday, 15 January 2004 11:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Alan - no, I just haven't bought Kittenz and I keep meaning to. And nowhere in Croydon has it.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Thursday, 15 January 2004 11:58 (twenty-two years ago)

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 15 January 2004 12:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be there early Kate -something like 6 - and the karaoke starts much later, 9 or 10 or so I think - it has a late licence until 1 on a Thursday.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 15 January 2004 13:27 (twenty-two years ago)

the drop-outers disgust me

i can't sing if Matt DC isn't there to heckle

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 15 January 2004 13:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll heckle if you like. Sarah & I will be there at 7.15 or so.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 15 January 2004 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Steve - I never dropped in, can I be forgiven?

Plus, we need to talk, you available tomorrow poss Saturday (depending on how dentist goes)?

― chris (chris), Thursday, 15 January 2004 13:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't dump Steve, Chris - he loves you so much! You guys are perfect together!

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 15 January 2004 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Bite me

― chris (chris), Thursday, 15 January 2004 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

i am aiming to finalise THE COMMISION for tomorrow evening Christof - also, i had e-mail problems so don't know if Johnny got my confirmation regarding flight booking

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 15 January 2004 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll ask him old boy

― chris (chris), Thursday, 15 January 2004 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be there about sevenish.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 15 January 2004 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

will absolutely be there tonight - sometimes between 6L45 and 7:00.

― m., Thursday, 15 January 2004 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Is YMOF flying over?

― the beefox, Thursday, 15 January 2004 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a great time, and astonishingly Mitch was there - to whom I apologise for not saying much more than hello. Great karaoke performances from Pete, Carsmile and several others, I thought.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 16 January 2004 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

More recordings plz.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 16 January 2004 02:13 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm in london-town on april 1st for the day, just prior to atp week 2, FAP?

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 16 January 2004 02:21 (twenty-two years ago)

carsmile's "i believe in a thing called love" was indeed fantastic. tom and pete's "where is the love?" was the highlight, i thought. the pinefox's "when love comes to town" embarassingly reminded me that i know every world to rattle and hum. kelly mrsthenipper was v good too i though.

i left at 11 (just after mitch's "hard knock life"), what did i miss?

a karaoke fap on april the 1st sounds like a fantastic idea.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 16 January 2004 09:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm in london-town on april 1st for the day, just prior to atp week 2, FAP?
Are you sure you're not playing a prank?!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 16 January 2004 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

carsmile's "i believe in a thing called love"

I can't believe I missed this!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 16 January 2004 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

i left at 11 (just after mitch's "hard knock life"), what did i miss?

pain, ruin and misery mainly...

...i appear to be still drunk, fortunately bosses at meeting for most fo the day.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 16 January 2004 10:01 (twenty-two years ago)

of, obv.

me and pete finished the night (because karaoke woman wuvved us) with FOUR MINUTE WARNING, ph34r us...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 16 January 2004 10:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Your desperation for a pint at 12:30 knew no bounds. Mind you it lathered you up nicely for the final triumphant performance of the niht : Four Minute Warning.

Mitch's Hard Knock Life was terrific too, pity Without me wouldn't work.

Karaoke Lady was very good I though, as usual the tunes between the songs were just as much fun.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 16 January 2004 10:05 (twenty-two years ago)

i would like another FAK sooner than April 1st i think, despite being too much of a cowardy-custard to do a song last night (handing my slip in at about 11.45 as i did, far too late as it turned out)

special mention for the final performance - Pete (who also did a pretty good 'Crashed The Wedding' to start things off) and Carsmile's 'Four Minute Warning' which i have now realised is a GREAT song with actually REALLY GOOD lyrics.

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 16 January 2004 10:06 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm gutted that NOBODY did Gary Jules tho

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 16 January 2004 10:08 (twenty-two years ago)

i wasn't that bad was i? oh well...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 16 January 2004 10:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Jesus is it a YEAR since that blizzard Karaoke FAP? I think that might have been the last time I properly FAPPED, except I have vague recollections of a halfhour appearence in some boozer just behind Oxford Street in the summer. I have lost a bloody year of my life - but most of my commitments will be done soon - only a week to go - (Which I have to spend in Frankfurt!!)and then I'm on the loose again.

Hi Phoebe!

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 16 January 2004 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Dr C! (the Champion it was if I remember rightly) Long time no wotsit ;-)

― Phoebe Dinsmore, Friday, 16 January 2004 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes - we talked about Peter Wyngarde! Hopefully will see you soon.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Friday, 16 January 2004 10:30 (twenty-two years ago)

it appears the blizzard FAP was 30th January:

Full on blizzard goin on in west london :D

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 16 January 2004 10:46 (twenty-two years ago)

what was the song that pete was doing bizarre limbo dancing to? it was shortly after where is the love, i think.

the oddest songs i noted on the list were radiohead's "there there" and laurie anderson's "o superman" (!!).

we definitely need at least a couple more karaoke faps before april 1st. it's not clear to me why they stopped, they're always fantastic.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 16 January 2004 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

What, someone did "O Superman", all 98 minutes of it? Damn I really should have come to this...

― Phoebe Dinsmore, Friday, 16 January 2004 11:47 (twenty-two years ago)

no sadly no-one was up for it. i still think pete's the man for the job.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 16 January 2004 11:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the next KFAP needs to be a Friday one - it'd be nice to stay the full 12.30 course without being faced with next-day work ruin.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 16 January 2004 12:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm pretty sure that Dr C was at Geeta-SouthallFAP upstairs at the Lyceum last summer as well.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 16 January 2004 12:01 (twenty-two years ago)

matt, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find somewhere to do karaoke on a friday, as we've had no joy (apart from some uber scary places) since the KoC stopped.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 16 January 2004 12:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Doesn't the Pint Pot do Friday karaoke as well?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 16 January 2004 12:07 (twenty-two years ago)

no, i think it has in the past, but there was no sign last night, thursday only to the best of my knowledge.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 16 January 2004 12:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Was I singing the limbo dancing song (I do bizarre limbo dancing to almost anything), cos all I sung was Summer Of '69, Crashed The Wedding, Where Are You Love and Four Minute Warning.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 16 January 2004 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

someone else was singing and you were dancing, i was stood next to emma and laughing a lot. maybe alan was singing?

i really wish there were pictures of last night.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 16 January 2004 13:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Alan sang Lose Yourself, but i don't imagine I was limboing. I did a bit of a funny dance to We're Going Out by the Younger Younger Carsmilesteves.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 16 January 2004 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sorry I had to leave at 10.30 - sounds like I missed lots of storming performances.

Thanks though for the cheer as I went up to do Michael Jackson - I wonder what it could have been for?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 16 January 2004 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yeah it was the yy28s. i'd forgotten all about that.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 16 January 2004 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

There was karaoke YY28s?!!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 16 January 2004 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yes, Steve was very convincing. It was almost as if he had been in a no mark indie band himself!!!

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 16 January 2004 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

hehehe, we're going out...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 16 January 2004 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

i remember there being another couple of karaoke places on fridays - one SCARY place that is near Waterloo (the crown and cushion?) with scary dancing jamacian man.

and there is also MR BOING! Featuring the worst website ever - but you can PRE-BOOK songs by email and also he takes photos of you while you sing! From the website he seems to be off to Oz for 3 weeks. He used to do friday nights at the Frog in the Hole(? i can't remmeber the name) opposite bond street station.
