Dates, Locations. How about not a Sam Smiths pub, ducks.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

FAP for Tom, Ally, Londoners, other 'Merkins obv.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

if I was Tom or Ally, I wouldn't want to be called a merkin.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I was about to say, this thread title is begging to be...perverted.

Common sense and basic counterintelligence (Cl) awareness can effectively protect you against foreign intelligence service attempts to collect sensitive and classified information. Some security tips you should employ include:

• Do not leave sensitive documents or equipment unattended in hotel rooms or stored in hotel safes-such information should be stored in appropriate secure facilities.

• Do not discuss sensitive matters outside official US offices-hotel rooms or other public venues are rarely suitable for sensitive discussions.

• Do not use computer or facsimile equipment at foreign hotels or business centers for sensitive, proprietary or classified matters.

• Do not divulge information to anyone not authorized to hear it, including personal information about yourself or colleagues.

• Ignore or deflect unwarranted inquiries or intrusive conversation-provide nondescript answers; leave talk to someone else.

• Keep unwanted material until it can be disposed of securely-burn or shred paper and cut floppy disks in pieces and discard.

• Keep your personal computer as carry-on baggage-never check it with other luggage and, if possible, remove or control storage media.

• Take the time to use secure communications equipment at any appropriate US Government establishment.

• Report any CI incident to the relevant US Government agency.

I was totally like "why would May have more merkins than any other month?"

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

'Ignore or deflect unwarranted inquiries or intrusive conversation-provide nondescript answers; leave talk to someone else.'

No FAP small talk for you then.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

'I was totally like "why would May have more merkins than any other month?"'

Old English tradition, wear a new merkin every day during May.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Well the advantage is that it also sounds like a sale at Perkins, but obviously different.

"Come on down for Merkins May Extravaganza! You never know what you'll find!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

oh I know what I'll find, that's the problem.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Calm down dears. It's really a very good merkin.

Oh the pub then? I suppose I could have a Ribena.

Haha, Ed doesn't want a Sam Smiths.

Haha!!

― Mikey Winner, Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

leave talk to someone else.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Other Merkins includes Carey?

I'd strongly hope for the Saturday: I have zero change of weekdays off, and don't want to miss this.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh and any night that is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday is fine by me but I am not into a multi-night extravaganza FAPtron for many various reasons.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

drinks on tuesday and FAP on saturday?

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

which dates are we talking about anyway?

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Um, won't it already be Wedensday morning by the time we land?

19-23

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyway my helpful suggestion is that we pick a place that is hard for all the natives to get to and not even really that close to our hotel, and then everybody show up two hours late. Yes.

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:53 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, For me I can't do Friday or Saturday because it's my grans birthday. Wednesday or Thursday anyone?

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Saturday is bad for me, but Wednesday or Thursday seem ideal options. Whereabout is the hotel, the steering committee shall get busy.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Perseverance, Lambs Conduit Street. Good indoor an doutdoor drinking opportunities.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

What like the Lamb? That's out of the Perseverance's doors and just down the road and is much nicer.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I hope this is central, like within walking distance of Oxford Street.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

(Within walking distance of the Spanish bar you mean).

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh good, I'll look forward to this. I get back from Barcelona on the Tuesday night, so Wednesday or Thursday are good for me.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, conduit street is fine for me (but then I have no alcohol dietery requirements)

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

MapQuest Europe sucks ass. Chancery Lane stop, right? Today, I go shopping for maps.

BTW is it on purpose that you picked the one street featuring a "NYC-style deli" called "GoodFellas?"

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd say Russell Square was closer, but it depends what line you are on. Anyway, this is not confirmed because it is not near enough to the Spanish Bar.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

"the" Spanish Bar

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I think Ed picked it because its got a police station up one end.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Reasons for Picking:

I like it, tables outside, and I know where TOm + Ally are staying. Lamb is a pretty good choice too, and over the road. We've fapped their before to great acclaim. Plus they have the ordinary.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

The Lamb has a surviving Snob Screen which is worth seeing.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

(i'm confused, conduit street is just of regent street, so nearest tube is oxford circus, oh but now I see, Russell Square hotel district)

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Lamb's Conduit St

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Spain is but a 10 minute walk away.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Thursday it is then, whatever time is good for people, 6 or 7? I know bars close earlier there. Ed, as he said, knows where we are staying (Russell Hotel) so I trust him to pick a place that would be reasonable for us to find.

choose, both are very nice. We could even perambluate between the two,

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I am put off a bit by the mentioning of "loud clientele" in the Perserverance one, any rebuttals? I am leaning towards the Lamb's.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Why do I keep reading this thread?

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Secret homoerotic crush on Tom?

― Allyzay, Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:39 (twenty-one years ago)

"Secret," "homoerotic," "Tom," etc.

...or alternately...

Why? Has Tom been talking about me? (Nervous giggles.)

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Has he been! Dude, he tattooed your name on his ass! It's kind of off-putting from my perspective, to tell the truth.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess we just have to wait for Pete to get back tomorrow and tell us where we are going.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Man...fuck London. Just come to Chicago.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Well I am thinking as of right now Lambs on the Thurs at around 6pm or 7pm is the best option.

xpost dude you should come with us to London, you could use a vacation.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:49 (twenty-one years ago)

A vacation from my job that I've had for a month? Where I don't do anything? Also, fuck London.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't even HAVE a job and I need a vacation, wtf, seriously.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Sarah keeps talking about vacations and trips she wants to take and I'm like hello, we've lived in Chicago for 4 months, have you exhausted all of its possibilities already?

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Chicago kind of sucks, though.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 6 May 2004 17:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe, but:
New York City is for sellouts

Ah, THERE'S the brown. For a second I was worried.

http://bitchcakes.topcities.com/london/morelondon.jpg

I just enjoy this picture. What is the leany building? I took it cos from this angle it looks like the tower bridge is shoving it.

― Allyzay, Monday, 24 May 2004 13:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha Ally that's Ken Livingstone's office. The building itself has already been nicknamed The Bollock.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

or The Peanut, bizarrely

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't even know who the fuck these people are. They aren't the indie street toughs who we got in the punch up with, at least.

http://bitchcakes.topcities.com/london/randomdudes.jpg

xpost haha I should've gone in and said hi. That building was so weird looking especially in the area it was in!

― Allyzay, Monday, 24 May 2004 13:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Ally did you guys go on the wheel? i would like to see Millar looking down on the city with some sort of intent

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:28 (twenty-one years ago)

http://bitchcakes.topcities.com/london/sketchyjel.jpg

STEVE AND JEL ARE GOING TO FITE!

xpost didn't do the wheel because I am a bit claustrophobic and I know it is not a traditional "ferris wheel" in that you get shoved in with like 15-20 other people! so it would've been quite bad but Tom did seem quite interested in going in when we spotted it from cross the city.

― Allyzay, Monday, 24 May 2004 13:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't the Bollock beiong called the distended bollock by some more anatomically minded cabbies?

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Uncle Earl and Steve hook up.

whatever Tom has said to Sarah seems to not be sitting well with her.

Colette will be pleased that you got her new boyfriend into that photo on me and her. Dude kept excitably dancing (including flinging his coat off twice), stopping only to get the sandwich counter in the corner of the bar to make him something to eat.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

suzy's sweets from pakistan included one that looked suspiciously like pac-man. Also, I think I ate far too many of them and am kind of craving one now.

― allyzay, Monday, 24 May 2004 13:41 (twenty-one years ago)

he threw his coat off THREE TIMES! he was such a good dancer...

is andrew flipping off the camera in the one with steve m standing in front of tom and sarah talking?

great pictures, i spent most of the night wishing i'd remembered my camera!

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

ha you can see lixi's hair in several of these photos but never her face except from v long distance. conspiracies etc.

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

You look especially demonic in that last one for some reason.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

my god he is flipping me the bird.

― allyzay, Monday, 24 May 2004 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, I was. In fairness, all the cool kids have already flipped your camera off (though I may be the first with the new camera).

I also love Tom's expression in the two cigarettes picture. "And now, for my next trick".

Tom would make a great Tango man (UK reference)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:57 (twenty-one years ago)

well my hair is much nicer than my face.

― alix (alix), Monday, 24 May 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

alix hair > alix face > stevem hair > eveything else, ok then?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 14:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I tried to get lixi in the one photo but Pete shifted position when I took it and face-blocked her!

in the few days I was in London, incidentally, two of my uncles ended up in hospital, my mom's car nearly blew up, and my dad broke my mom's rib giving her the heimlich maneuver. Between that, the street fite, and the camera incident I believe I should never leave town again. sorry London!

otoh as soon as I got back I got eat alive by mosquitos at the Newark train station, they have left welts the size of baseballs on my legs and arms, and also DC just kind of sucks ass so perhaps "move to London" is actually correct here.

― Allyzay, Monday, 24 May 2004 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha, me and my wicked face-blocking skills. I shall try to use these undiscovered face blocking powers more often. In combination with minestrone man smell I would be unstoppable.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 24 May 2004 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

ally, you just want to hang around with Jean Reno all the time ;)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 24 May 2004 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd like to think the Jean Reno comment and the Minestrone Man comment were related, that would make a lot of sense to me really.

thursday was good, i wish i had been around on the saturday to go to Bangkok Impact at cargo though, that sounded really great. i'm pretty sickly at the moment, and just wasnt up to it:(

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 24 May 2004 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)

bangkok impact was great, really fantastic, i hope you feel better soon, g.

― allyzay, Monday, 24 May 2004 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish I had a damned CLUE about what was going on in the photo where I appear to be going "belm".

Perhaps I was showing TOMBOT my amusing impression of a spastic.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 24 May 2004 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, take care. Try moving very slowly and observing results on family!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 24 May 2004 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 24 May 2004 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Possibly offensive.

Holy shit that is the greatest photo of me ever taken! It even beats Raggett's Spanish Bar photo. Not the zombie one when they've stolen my brane, obv.

Steve and Jel look like comical Easter Island heads in that pic above.

He had a pink one five minutes later.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 24 May 2004 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Then he had an alcopop, ho ho my aching sides.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 24 May 2004 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a red one, after Ally was confused by / fleeced by the barman who gave her three watermelon bacardi breezers instead of the one for three pounds she asked for. Or something .I must admit I was quite confused too.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 24 May 2004 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

that's my nose in one of those above.
