let us decide the Saturday next month upon which this glorious event would be best occurrin'

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 13:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll check with the boy when we're due to go party, which is the reason we're going to Brighton in the first place!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 13:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, need to see when Archel is free!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't much fancy the 7th, as that is the week I have my surgery - but then again I am dating these days so Saturdays might not be on anyway.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 15:50 (twenty-one years ago)

i was thinking a Sunday might be better myself

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

martin, you wouldn't skip a date for a road-trip FAP?

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Saturday is a much better day for it for so many reasons.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry Matt i forgot that Sunday is your Heaven And Earth Show-Songs Of Praise marathon

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 16:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't forget Sunday Homes & Gardens with Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Sunday H&G makes it worth getting out of bed on a Sunday. But only to turn the telly on and get back into bed again

― robster (robster), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

the remote sleeps on my bed, like a tiny silicon kitten

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Colette, my new girlfriend works all sorts of odd hours so there aren't so many good opportunities to go out, including at weekends. So I'm not sure that I would.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 18:27 (twenty-one years ago)

surely it's a train-trip not a road-trip btw

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 18:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Unless anyone has a car and can drive? That last train is stupidly early. I've missed it way too many a time.

Whatever happened about having a Get-Colette-Out-Of-The-House FAP on 8th March?

― The River Kate (kate), Thursday, 26 February 2004 10:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey make the road trip Brighton FAP coincide with this gig at Brighton Pressurepoint in which I'll be tickling the ivories : http://www.fractured.info/

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Thursday, 26 February 2004 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

three weeks pass...

whoops, how about May then?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 22 March 2004 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Stevem is the FAP king! Don't you have a life or something? :-P

― The River Kate (kate), Monday, 22 March 2004 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

choose ILX...

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 22 March 2004 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I am entertaining The Other Lot on 3 April but most weekends after that in April/May are looking pretty free.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i can do april weekends after the 18th, and then anytime in may except the bank holiday weekends. (no firm plans, but my birthday is the 25th, and i might want to go away or something)

how about 8 may?

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:17 (twenty-one years ago)

sounds good

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

That seems okay for me. Is this going to be like one of those weeks in Eastenders when they all go away for a week and general chaos ensues?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone will be pushed off the pier, two people will engage in illicit heavy petting on the ghost train, at least one person will vomit in the street, and someone will lose all their money at roulette (or possibly on fruit machines.)

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

If my FAP record is anything to go by I will be all those people.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

i'll go on the Pier mini-rollercoaster finally!

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

for planning purposes, is this a day trip? or are we all staying somewhere?

god, i feel that whole summer camp vibe again...

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

we'll be in Florida, we'll think of you all, oh yes.....

― chris (chris), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Does Vicky know you will be thinking of us Chris?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Thinking of Matt heavy-petting himself on the ghost train?

(NB. noone is coming back to mine. Sorry.)

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Florida, where the hurricanes are! (but let's hope not eh)

this is a day-trip tho i will be tempted to stick it out until the wee small hours if i manage to hook up with my indie-gazing comrades down there

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Arrgh ghosts of Brighton Sinister picnics loom. Sitting on the beach necking the cheapest red wine imaginable at a rate of knots in order to stave off the February chill. Archel's flat imbued with indie stench after a late night on the vodka. Gay lard for breakfast on the seafront. Ahhhhh.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry, I forgot my slash sarcasm tag

Hurricane season is June to September, mainly August

― chris (chris), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm gonna say "Sure!" but just watch HSA schedule an opening or something that weekend...

― Psycho Kate (kate), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Gay lard?

goes well with Camp Pie?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh those days are not over Liz, not by a long chalk. (Well, my flat might not be involved any more. She said hopefully.)

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

But will there be Satan's jizz floating on the sea this time eh Arch?

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not sure I want to come to this any more...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I would love to say yes for definite, but we're due to go a record shop launch at some point next month, so that will govern when we are going to brighton. (Archel-if it doesn't coincide with the ilx trip wanna do lunch?)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Gay lard = fry-up cooked, purchased and consumed on the premises of the cafe called Buddies. It has a subtle man-on-man action sign/logo thing. Kind of like the Chicken Cottage one, for North London filth fans.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Cambridge FAP needs organising too really

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:51 (twenty-one years ago)

INDEED!

― Psycho Kate (kate), Monday, 22 March 2004 14:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes I would like to do lunch if you can't FAP Pinxor! (Perhaps I won't take you to Gay Lard though eh?)

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 22 March 2004 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Ohh definitely! Gay lard, hmmm, well I am tempted.....

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 22 March 2004 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll spare a thought for you all too, as we amble up the Keys in our convertible.... :0)

― Vicky (Vicky), Monday, 22 March 2004 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Grrrrr!! *shakes fist at Vicky (but in a twee way obviously)*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 22 March 2004 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

we'll be wearing our new trainers we got for cheap too :o)

― chris (chris), Monday, 22 March 2004 15:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Arrrghh, you have just killed any spirit I had left in me Chris! :-(

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 22 March 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

Hey, look what I found. The 8th of May (to be sung to the tune of 'Ace of Spades' by the rock group Motörhead) approaches!

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 29 April 2004 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

meeting at Victoria around 11 good for people?

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 29 April 2004 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

This sounds a good idea to me right now. Is it okay if I come along?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 29 April 2004 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

i actually was genuinely ill and still am now. what do they call that again? oh yes, Bastard's Law

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 10 May 2004 11:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Ken, we need Las Vegas action soon, we do :)

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 10 May 2004 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I love your jacket, ken c, and your photos. Maybe I should try England for a bit this summer. I've never punted, but always wanted to.

― Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 10 May 2004 11:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Cathy, yes! England has definitely got to be tried more! and punting.

and Las Vegas must also be tried! I need to perfect 2-padding so as to not put shame to the oriental communities of the world.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 10 May 2004 11:58 (twenty-one years ago)

actually.. is the walk from warren street to las vegas a long one (haha?), one of these mondays i think the following should happen

1. Prince of Wale's Feathers for £1 pints, then
2. Las Vegas £1 a game of Bemani Extravaganza.

omg.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 10 May 2004 12:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Kate - if we had a Cambridge fap we could go to the rainbow cafe! ;-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 10 May 2004 12:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I posted earlier about how I wanted a Cambridge FAP, but it was eaten, and I couldn't get back onto ILX for hours. Sigh.

― Super-Kate (kate), Monday, 10 May 2004 13:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, death on a skoolnight there, marvellous! (Yeah ok but when I have a bit more dosh!)

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 10 May 2004 13:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Well I'd be up for it, but then I would say that!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 10 May 2004 13:05 (twenty-one years ago)

My assistant used to work in the Fishbowl, I've just discovered. Blimey small world etc.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 10 May 2004 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

you have an assistant? wtf?

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 10 May 2004 13:56 (twenty-one years ago)

his name is Thibault. he gets a shiny penny provided he remain under the desk at all times.

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 10 May 2004 13:57 (twenty-one years ago)

aw lovely pixors kids/ken, sorry i missed what looks like a fun day out. especially fond of the collision/colettion/colizion collection...

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:02 (twenty-one years ago)

"remain under the desk"

― Madchen (Madchen), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:02 (twenty-one years ago)

What, doesn't everybody have a gentleman's gentleman?

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:08 (twenty-one years ago)

i've just been told i should hire a minion. where can i get one on a charity salary? and they have to have size 8 feet, because a primary job function is breaking in my new shoes.

pinkpanther...we were talking about punting on saturday and everything. i think there is certainly a day out to see you looming...are you afraid?

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Nope, I can't wait! If I've got a house sorted by then (don't ask!!) then you're all welcome round!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think we should do the Cambridge punting thing until July at the earliest, as everything is looking kinda mental before then and we might have a better chance of decent weather (ie I want to spend time lounging by the river the sun and drinking wine).

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

in the mean time we should visit hampstead and try things.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

haha I think I was thinking of this only in a hoody. http://us.ent4.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/universal_pictures/mystery_men/janeane_garofalo/mm.jpg

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

does anyone have any carnivals near them anytime soon? i love love them and i think we should go to more places that 1) have candy floss 2) have donuts 3)injure/bruise you and you pay them and it's called 'fun' 4) win cute stuffed toys to beat up.

when i wrote that, i realised it sounds like shopping at target. but they don't have those here! so a carnival it should be...

(xpost-- am i the skull or JG?)

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:47 (twenty-one years ago)

JG standing on the skull.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Blackheath has a fairground just about every other week in summer. If we're lucky there might be a circus too. And its ideal for both sitting around on the grass picnic events and pub drinking. I'd been thinking of organising something at some point if people can be arsed to go down there on a Saturday.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

We have the most famous chelsea buns shop which, I can assure you, are to die for!! July would be better for me. I want you lot to come to cambridge godamnit!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 10 May 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay FAP fun! I live vicariously again (but ChakiFest was just as grand obv.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned come over to Cambridge!!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I will yet visit the environs.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

i will come to blackheath on a saturday or sunday.

does it count as an out-of-town trip?

i don't like circuses nearly as much as carnivals, so don't worry about that...

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Looking in certain directions whilst in Blackheath you think you could be in the country, so I say it counts as out of town.

― Mooro (Mooro), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

It's ten minutes from London Bridge, hardly the sticks really. This might be good for the August bank holiday weekend if its still half decent by then.

But yeah, it does look like you're in the middle of nowhere from some directions.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

you just want to be able to walk home from a FAP for once admit it

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, there's that too.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

not if we buy him the "D"s

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

who wants to go to Transforce 2004 0n 28th August in Croydon?

http://www.transforce.org.uk/

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 10 May 2004 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

ok, my pictures are up.
http://www.dotphoto.com/Go.asp?l=a2lette&P=&AID=1514050&GID=781183&T=1

not as many as ken, but some decent action shots of the roller coaster...

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i've also just added an album of my homeless fap, including some pics of kate and the infamous 'most canadian welshman'...

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 13:33 (twenty-one years ago)

hmmm. do we need a password to see those pics properly, Colette? I clicked on the amusing-looking "haha we've got different bodies haha" pic but was DENIED, for shame...

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

hrm. should be. i'll check to make sure i didn't do anything requiring a password...

i think it's worked for other people. can anyone else see these or should i try to find another link or something?

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

worked, for me.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

me also.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

charlie, the website seems to know what your deviant mind wanted to do with that picture of stevem in a diving suit...

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:57 (twenty-one years ago)

also, interesting to note that people can rank the photos out of 5 stars!

(i think the pics from the homeless fap are better than brighton, but that might just be me)

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Notice how the native Brightonian cannot be seen anywhere near the sea in these pics... to know it, is to fear it. Or something.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i think the pics from the homeless fap are better than brighton

B-b-but... the picture of my glorious victory!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, matt. except the picture of your glorious victory. of course.

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

what we need is a server where ILXers can host all their images on freely. if only someone could provide such a thing........

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

the Interweb HATES ME!

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

stevem otm

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 15:41 (twenty-one years ago)

esp good if it's possible to submit files by email - it will open up all the photoshopping at work possibilities for the likes of me with goddam firewalls at the office network.

or i can just do work instead i guess....

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)
