I might be coming to London on my birthday (23rd) & I was wondering what we could do. We are quite skint due to the house situ *sniff* but there must be some budget fun to be had. I thought you lot, being insiders & all, could point me in the right direction!

Um, FAP?

― Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought about it, but I am pretty skint & it's a Monday night.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam Smiths FAP.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

After the trainer shopping of course! (thanks mum & dad!)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

wetherspoons FAP.

with dinner at pollo first.

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Pollo?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:41 (twenty-two years ago)

mmmm, Madchen to thread.

― chris (chris), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:42 (twenty-two years ago)

very cheap italian place on old compton street. you can get garlic bread and pasta for under £5, and very cheap house wine. and i think it's pretty yummy for being so cheap.

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Birthday FAP = not paying for drinks, jah? So come on down, the price is right! Sam Smiths, woot - round of 7 drinks (inc. 2 spirits/mixers) last night was £13.50.

Also, free art galleries, if you like that kind of thing. Not bastard Saatchi, curse his evil trousers for evermore.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Well I was kind of thinking art galleries Liz, any recommendations?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe you can just blag drinks off all us ILXers all night pinky, wahoo

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha, yeah I can see the thread the following day. Skanking fuxor ilxor bleeds us dry. c or d?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Pollo is the filthiest restaurant in Soho. Madchen finally put me off with the tale of the cockroach on the ceiling. The food was nice though

― chris (chris), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

*shudders* I would rather starve!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

chris that was an authentic cockroach you philistine - i hear they're quite tasty too

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

*cries*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

so should we put 'pinkpanther-- cheap FAP' in the diary? or is this still being decided?

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 6 February 2004 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Hm, not sure. We have got some stuff to do, so I wouldn't wanna say for definite yet or anything. it would be cool to meet up with some of you though. Maybe a few pints after work or summit? I'll have a little think!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe a few pints after work or summit = Dictionary definition of a cheap FAP

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 6 February 2004 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

haha!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 6 February 2004 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I see!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 14:23 (twenty-two years ago)

In fairness, it was a Nipper story which I relayed to you Cabbage.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 6 February 2004 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

good source of art info

Also obv big galleries and places like Vic & Albert for pretty-things fix.

CheapoFAP is urgent and key though, especially as I may bid away my soul on the dogs in Walthamstow tomorrow*. Somebody stop me!

Ooooh Starry, the Nut Brown Ale. I had one of those after lunch a while ago and it was a bit of a struggle, like scoffing an entire Christmas pudding in one go.

* actually I don't think I have one, waah.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 6 February 2004 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

it's still nasty

x-post

― chris (chris), Friday, 6 February 2004 14:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it was the the fact you scoffed yourself on lunch first dude, the nut brown ale slips down a treat personally, but then again I might just be an ALEHOUND.

Quite frankly I think it should be a WETHERSPOONS FAP! Crosse Keys! Guest b33rs! Even cheaper food than Pollo!*

*i am not expecting anyone to take me up on this but if you do i will be pleasantly surprised, wetherspoons haters = rub

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 6 February 2004 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark C and I have both witnessed vermin in a Wetherspoons pub too.

Maybe London is just a filthy place.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 6 February 2004 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe you attract vermin. Ooh I'm horrible.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 6 February 2004 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks Liz.

I want Christmas Pudding Ale!!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Ahem don't kill me.

xpost.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 6 February 2004 14:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Liz, I dig you in the ribs for your cheeky ways.

― Madchen (Madchen), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Youngs Winter Warmer is a little Christmas Pud reminiscent

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

It's time to stop pussying out, Yorke, and pick up a guitar and fucking strike it!

― Enrique (Enrique), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

people could all just come to my flat and drink wine and whatever they bring. it's not big, but i don't care about pissing my flatmate off since i'm moving out because she's annoying.

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Erm???
If I do have a fap, the condition of coming is that you have to talk to me! haha, that'll stop ppl from coming!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha! I think I will go to #sinister...

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 6 February 2004 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)
