― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Tracer to attend FAP shockah!

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Crikey. Probs can't do - we are keeping ahead of the game by having a romantic Friday 13th.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, good luck to you and yours

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

We are not goths NB.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

i suggest Sohoho for the drinkage, not the Glasshouse tho - too packed on Fridays and the downstairs is always booked (i don't even need to ring and ask them in advance anymore)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

i can come on friday...and suggested to matt dc that he invite us all out on friday and make us stay out past midnight so we can all celebrate his birthday (even those of us with valentines)

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I think ILX should be the judge of that Liz.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Jerry the BASTARD. Bah that was years ago and not very goth either.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Liz -- you live in Oxford right? And you're having your romantic evening on Friday 13th right? Ditto and ditto. Would be good way to meet my first ILXor. We'll be in St Giles churchyard round midnight.

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

but rather sepia.

what sort of time were you thinking Tracer? I have a course in the morning and am coming up to London in the afternoon, coz there is no way I'm going over to the other side of Oxford to work for a couple of hours only to have to go all the way back again.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

hahahaha

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Liz doesn't live in Oxford anymore.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Ach. But Blackwell is reet by the train and bus stations, hm?

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

GOTHICK 4 LIFE, BITCH, obv...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

ah, that is (hee hee) Beaver House, offices of BH Blackwell (i.e. the bookshop). I work for the publisher and we are in Cowley. The course is at Templeton College in Kennington.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh Lordy... I'm going to turn 25 in the Spanish Bar, aren't I?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

A-ha! Near the UPP -- still v near the Tube stop on St Clements...

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

no, that is us, but I don't work in that one...I'm past the Original Swan, by the obelisk on the roundabout.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

anyway, explain me Sohoho pubs.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Hahahaha. Still not been to the legendary Spanish Bar. Sounds like a spiffing birthday venue though.

nrrgh xpost

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

it gets very crowded - last visit (after B&S at Astoria last year) was seconds long coz it was so packed and merely provided an opportunity for Markelby to relieve himself.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread has put 'She's A Ho' back in my head again.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Another thread about Marleby relieving himself!!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

What?

Anyway a BEER on FRIDAY what a good idea. The Montague Arms it is.

― SarAhJa (starry), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

The Spanish bar is ur-shitty.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Ur-Shitty Shitty Bang-Bang.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think anyone has ever claimed otherwise, Mark (well, except maybe Felicity).

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

the montague arms it is.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 9 February 2004 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

where is it?

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

use your loaf (fancyapint.com)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

they block sites about alcohol here.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

how does ILX get through??

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

did try googling it but all the pubs I found of that name were outside London except one in New Cross and upthread Sohoho was suggested.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

The Montague 'Worst Pub In London' Arms is indeed in New Cross. We will not be going there.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

good!

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i just typed Montague into both FAP and BITE search boxes and nothing came up for either

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Ricky Spontane played there, you know!

When they weren't playing Carsmile's wedding, obv.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

its a very mysterious, dangerous place.

x-post

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 9 February 2004 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

New Cross? Eek. Isn't there a large amount of North Londoners here? Maybe somewhere in Islington?

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Monday, 9 February 2004 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

DON'T TRY IT, BOLTON.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 9 February 2004 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Red Lion? - Soho best location wise but where is nice but not too bizzy? (nowhere i guess, oh well)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 9 February 2004 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm on for Friday, I'm pretty certain. Could do with a good night out.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 9 February 2004 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

― Ed (dali), Monday, 9 February 2004 19:07 (twenty-two years ago)

― chris (chris), Monday, 9 February 2004 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 9 February 2004 21:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Red Lion is usually quietish on a Friday night, and serves the Ed-friendly Sam Smiths range of produce.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 09:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Bah. He misses another FAP cos of a gig. Damn you, Lamb!

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 09:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I like to live dangerously...

Haha Stacey looks like Posh there.

Ack. I look as bad as I feel right now (hangover from fashparty DAMN YOU SH@RLEEN $PIT3RI). However that THING on top of my head is no longer necessary as £10 haircut blokey back in business.

best thing said by Stacey all night: 'those blokes look like they're on a pub quiz team innit.'

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha Stacey looks like Posh there.

people usually tell her she looks like mutya. you can imagine how well that goes over.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Stevem quite clearly showing true robot nature in second mob rule picture there.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I look like I am assiduously trying to slake my Divine Thirst in all these pics. No wonder such epic ruin was the consequence.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

the pic of me with a wide open mouth, red cheeks, and seemingly tipping over to my right is making me feel queasy again.

i so love that picture of pete

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Steve you look spectacularly camp in that photo with Colette. You also appear to be wearing nail varnish.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yes!! hahaha!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

No, Steve looks like he is saying "Left all alone in the schoolgirl's dormitory... WITH MY REPUTATION?"

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Mutya? Not a bit of it. It's pre-op but thin Posh.

Honest I daren't move my head fast, blaming cocktail renamed Purple People Eaters.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, hanging out with me seems to make boys look more gay.

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Noted : the two *indie-est* looking blokes in the world in the centre of the 'lauren and friends' photo. Are you sure they hadn't strayed into shot from a nearby Weather Prophets convention?

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

the guy I thought was Rob Bolton turned out not to be. It's good to see what the real Rob Bolton looks like!

stevem from colette photo = channeling Ferris Bueller, to be honest.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:20 (twenty-two years ago)

yeh Gareth said i looked like a high school tosser (or something like that) as well, fair play

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Gareth wore his tie finally!

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I know, stevem's suit bluff worked like a charm!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 00:37 (twenty-two years ago)

You'll be pleased to know I recognised the tie straight away, Mary.

Although I think he's worn it to a FAP before.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 09:04 (twenty-two years ago)

second outing for tie, first was at xmas

It's a special Swimmer tie.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 09:23 (twenty-two years ago)

you're right! he does look like ferris! i never would have figured out why his expression looked so familiar...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

The feller of CBBC was wearing an identical cardigan to Steve's today.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

cardigan?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha! There I was thinking I looked cutely mussed up, but actually I just looked fucking scruffy. Next time my bra strap falls right down my arm can someone tell me?

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 19 February 2004 00:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Thassa cardigan, isn't it? Though I've not seen it in the flesh as such. But it looks like a zip up cardigan to me.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Thursday, 19 February 2004 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a Titicacardigan.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 19 February 2004 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

JtN, can you explain wht 'mollusc' has to spelled with a c?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 19 February 2004 00:59 (twenty-two years ago)

cardigans are what old men wear. i am no old man (albeit in spirit). it has more of an 80s jock tracksuit texture. you should have come anyway Swygart instead of of whatever it is you were doing...

fret not Anna you'll always be a cute mess to us (i thought the bra strap was intentional tho...not that i noticed, of course)

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 19 February 2004 01:03 (twenty-two years ago)

i now have Vicky's pics from the dogs just to prove that although i am the epitomy of 'fucking scruff' and have been since around 1987, i can cut it in a suit also/otoh

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 19 February 2004 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I was making dinner for the family. Awfully. I am a bit miffed I missed this, yes.

I may make an appearance tomorrow night, mind.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Thursday, 19 February 2004 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

There's nothing wrong with cardigans. I just happen to prefer jumpers.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Thursday, 19 February 2004 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Coz. I think the "c" is just a Franco-Anglo nostalgia for the latin - I believe the Yanks spell it with a "k".

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 19 February 2004 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

but it isn't as good?!

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 19 February 2004 01:20 (twenty-two years ago)

*dr c fap = official suit fap*

Blimey.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Thursday, 19 February 2004 12:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I can confirm I won't be wearing a suit. I'll still be along though, even if I'm shunned by the corporate krew.
