we're back at the chapel on 30 June, with no particular gimmick this time (yet!), although we will be attempting to find any top tunes we hear over the weekend.

as usual, it's FREE and there will be COCKTAIL HAPPY (3) HOUR (s), and it'll be great and everything :)

Have I mentioned 'bah' yet?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 08:56 (twenty years ago)

If England finish second in their group, and win their quarter final, they play the semi on this night.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 08:59 (twenty years ago)

FAP in the dirty Gooner pub across the road first, then?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:02 (twenty years ago)

i'll be watching that semi whoever's in it (unless it's Germany v Russia or some nonsense) so yeh will almost certainly be a late arrival

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:04 (twenty years ago)

Oh - just because my first post here bgeins with 'if', don't let anyone dispute the view that not since the triumph of the proletarian revolution as the inevitable consequence of capitalist development has anything be a sure fire cast iron nailed on certainty as England getting to the semis of this one.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:06 (twenty years ago)

Oh for goodness sake!!

I will be there chucking as many cheap cocktails down my throat as possible, obv :)

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:11 (twenty years ago)

oh flip, i forgot to check the football, never mind, we did alright last time.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:14 (twenty years ago)

Starry, it'll be like a three-day festival - right after an actual three day festival!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:18 (twenty years ago)

Oh my god!! YMOF OTFM!!! This is going to be so grebt!

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:19 (twenty years ago)

I don't understand.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:20 (twenty years ago)

PAYDAY!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:20 (twenty years ago)

I will be being 30. Very quietly, probably.

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:22 (twenty years ago)

Aw. Come to London, drink cocktails, be 30 very loudly instead.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:23 (twenty years ago)

hehe, i imagine there may be a fair bit of celebrating over the weekend, won't there, my little hobarty friend :)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:25 (twenty years ago)

Flyers for the club will be distributed at Glasto - the reverse will have full lyrics for the ever-bootleggable "Ticket To Ride'. Macca, performing this year, will expect a cut. He might get a bruise.

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:30 (twenty years ago)

I second the Liz proposal, come on Iang, do it...

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 09:32 (twenty years ago)

Its not a bad idea actually..

― hobart paving (hobart paving), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 10:06 (twenty years ago)

DO IT DO IT [bounces]

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 10:21 (twenty years ago)

go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on GO ON

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 10:54 (twenty years ago)

I'll be another one in the pub for the footie through part of this - whoever is in that semi.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 11:33 (twenty years ago)

that pub right near the Chapel is good for watching football (numerous large plasmas and two OPs on facing walls)

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 11:35 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, but I fear the crowds if England are in - if it's not featuring England, we can go to the Chapel then transfer before kickoff, but if England are playing we might have to go straight to the footie pub to get places.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 11:43 (twenty years ago)

who here has a portable tv?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 12:11 (twenty years ago)

Martin that pub was fine for Arsenal-Chelsea, the biggest game of the football season right in Gooner territory, so I reckon it should be alright. Pretty big screen anyway IIRC.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 12:12 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

i missed hearing about this before, only discovered it on the calendar, the next two weeks are going to be deadly! (have decided to go to roskilde next weekend, for those that weren't at the fap to hear me announce it)

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 10:07 (twenty years ago)

OK, there might be one or two problems with this:

1. aftermath of tube strike
2. if england win on thursday, this is when they play their semi.

for these reasons i'm going to phone them up in a bit and see if we can move it...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 10:11 (twenty years ago)

nooooooooooooooo

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 10:49 (twenty years ago)

unless you mean to the next night or summink

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 10:49 (twenty years ago)

Move it forward a week and you'll have the mentalists undivided attention.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 10:51 (twenty years ago)

well quite. also i seem to have forgotten to do this during my lunchbreak, d'oh.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 11:17 (twenty years ago)

well, if you do it the next wednesday, i'll certainly be back from denmark. but i'll come if it's on the 30th, although i've been enjoying watching this soccer thing... (kidding)

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 11:37 (twenty years ago)

I rather like the idea of using the Chapel's big screen and DJ-ing over it with apt songs (Dry Your Eyes PRIMED!)

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 12:29 (twenty years ago)

well i shall ask if they have the footie on, obv. but if it goes to extri time it won't finish 'til half ten, and if it goes to pens it'll be 11 before it finishes, ie kicking out time...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:14 (twenty years ago)

music ober the footie could be fantastic, I am officially loving this idea

― chris (chris), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:20 (twenty years ago)

Especially if we can mix it with Five Live commentary...

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:22 (twenty years ago)

surely the week after is saner all round, plus i'm not certain they have a telly, much less a big screen...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:26 (twenty years ago)

I've seen a projection device there before.

― Pete (Pete), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 13:49 (twenty years ago)

Move it around and you might just get me.

― I am not a mandible (Barima), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 16:58 (twenty years ago)

aw, sorry barima, i spoke to the chapel last night and THEY WILL SHOW THE FOOTIE IF ENGLAND GET THROUGH (and possibly if they don't as well), so we are full steam ahead as originally planned!!

right, i'm off to glasto now :)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 24 June 2004 05:40 (twenty years ago)

Well, I WAS coming back next week, but I've cancelled my ticket just to spite all of you.

― I am not a mandible (Barima), Thursday, 24 June 2004 08:33 (twenty years ago)

It's looking decidedly tense...

― I am not a mandible (Barima), Monday, 28 June 2004 10:28 (twenty years ago)

so, do we know if this is happening or not? It's a bit quiet round here....I can only assume that everyone's still recovering from glasto.

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:11 (twenty years ago)

they're not back yet, but yes it os going on, so erm, bumpitty bump

― chris (chris), Monday, 28 June 2004 13:12 (twenty years ago)

they're now claiming the tube won't be running at all on wednesday.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 28 June 2004 16:25 (twenty years ago)

SAVE A HORSE, RIDE A COWBOY!

― Ricardo (RickyT), Monday, 28 June 2004 16:31 (twenty years ago)

it is in my slsk queue right now.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 28 June 2004 16:50 (twenty years ago)

I thought the deal was a 24 hour strike starting at 6.30 on Tuesday? So won't they be restarting Wednesday evening? Anyway, I get a bus there after work, and I've taken the bus home from there the last few times, so it's fine for me.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 28 June 2004 16:55 (twenty years ago)

well i think that is the deal, martin, but the posters at tube stations and the info on tfl's website says no trains until thursday. they could well just be trying to put people off, though.

it makes little difference to me either, as i'll just walk over, i guess, or take the silverlink (will that be running??). you may find that there are 20 times as many people trying to use the bus as usual, though.

― toby (tsg20), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:14 (twenty years ago)

Silverlink will be running, I'll be walking.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Monday, 28 June 2004 17:16 (twenty years ago)

So the football will be on, then?

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 10:53 (twenty years ago)

i hope so.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 10:56 (twenty years ago)

Also I have Futurama DVDs if you want to borrow them, Mark.

Oh yes, I'll be there swigging cocktails, probably 6ish.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:04 (twenty years ago)

i shall try and be there, though i don't know at the moment, i am severely affected by the tube strike

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:09 (twenty years ago)

i'd be more likely to make this if it was less Pentonville and more Wormwood Scrubs.

(3 people here at work today, no tubes trundling along 10 metres from our windows - it's soporific)

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:20 (twenty years ago)

The announcements I heard during my journey seemed to be suggesting that the Victoria line was shuttling to and from Seven Sisters and Victoria, stopping nowhere else (as there were insufficient staff at most stations); and there is also a shuttle from Liverpool Street to Baker Street, again stopping nowhere else, but don't take my word for any of this (there may be more, for all I know). The buses were less bad coming in than I thought - I got a train to King's Cross and was ready to walk to work (Tottenham Court Road) but a #10 came along so I hopped on, and even got a seat - this was just before 9, from a major mainline station heading towards the West End, so it suggests they aren't too horrible. It seemed to move at about its normal speed for that route at that time.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:38 (twenty years ago)

My bus was normal from Highgate-Highbury Corner, then Upper Street was a hell of buses and people who were not only dumb enough to try to drive to work, but also thought that constantly beeping their horns would miraculously clear the hundreds of idiots just like them out of their paths. For the love of little green onions. I read my book.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:41 (twenty years ago)

my 141 was ok but obv. few more people than usual (i don't pass a tube station on my way at all tho). only problem was it terminated at Rosemary Branch pub and i had to walk across Shoreditch Park but that was nice enough and only made me 20 mins late as opposed to the usual 10.

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 13:25 (twenty years ago)

right, i'll hopefully be there about 7 i guess, provided i get back down to work in a minute. are you going to come, mark? please do, i haven't seen you in ages.

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 14:02 (twenty years ago)

Anyone know the state of the Northern Line? Tfl claims it is running trains every 10mins but I'm not sure I believe that.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 14:10 (twenty years ago)

Anyone getting there early? I'm in a morose state after wrangling over bills and want cheap cocktails :(

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 14:25 (twenty years ago)

Have fun. I can't make it because I've got to work late and then there's tons of ironing to do.

Rock'n'roll, I ain't.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 14:28 (twenty years ago)

Anyone getting there early? I'm in a morose state after wrangling over bills and want cheap cocktails :(
-- Sarah (starr...), June 30th, 2004 3:25 PM. (later)

me too and i can't even afford the cocktails :(

i'm going to fuck myself up with cheap wine and then drink water all the way.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 14:42 (twenty years ago)

Meh. I think I'm just going to sod it and traipse home via some form of BEER shop.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 15:07 (twenty years ago)

NO. Don't do that. Come dancing!

― Marianna L Cecelia, Wednesday, 30 June 2004 15:29 (twenty years ago)

come to FT via the beer shop.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 15:35 (twenty years ago)

i'll have a cocktail with you sarah

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 15:40 (twenty years ago)

I got off work (!) early today and had hoped to make it there but after yet more excavating the attic/office of a 5-person family and breathing dust and lifting lots of heavy stuff, I'm exhausted and have to go back for more tomorrow. Cha-ching, at least. I'm sorry I'm lame and will miss the dancin' and the company, but fuck, it took me 2 hours just to get home. I need a drink.

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 16:30 (twenty years ago)

thank you everyone for coming out last night, not the best one ever, but good to see you all.

in other news, we'll probably be moving to a thursday as the chapel is having salsa on a wednesday...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 1 July 2004 08:03 (twenty years ago)

and tortilla chips?

― chris (chris), Thursday, 1 July 2004 08:10 (twenty years ago)

yes.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 1 July 2004 08:15 (twenty years ago)

things could get messy.

I officially had a good time last night

― chris (chris), Thursday, 1 July 2004 09:00 (twenty years ago)

So did I. I still haven't properly recovered from the weekend though, hence my leaving early.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 1 July 2004 09:11 (twenty years ago)

I went home. Via the beer shop. And when I finally got home I couldn't be bothered drinking the beer so ate crumpets and ice cream instead. And watched Flashdance. (Dude - what a letdown!) SATC was good though. Feh.

I assume all the horses were saved?

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 1 July 2004 09:18 (twenty years ago)

i went to the elbow rooms for some reason,

― electroclash girls, underground resistance, the big screen, all love innit (gare, Thursday, 1 July 2004 09:25 (twenty years ago)

a game of pool perhaps?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Thursday, 1 July 2004 09:26 (twenty years ago)

i dont believe in pool

― agent stickleback (gareth), Thursday, 1 July 2004 09:28 (twenty years ago)

I now have a martini glass and two champagne flutes that I didn't before. Arrgh drunkleptomania.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:10 (twenty years ago)

i didn't get the chance to speak to some people on account of being distracted by Oranjemen and the Maniche Machine and whatnot. but it was nice to hear Braxe and Alcazar. apologies to mr sticklebrick for being sassy and effusive.

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:14 (twenty years ago)

Sorry I missed this, I just have no energy right now (and sweet, sweet broadband).

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:14 (twenty years ago)

OH GOD. Why didn't someone REMIND me that cocktails included the FRENCH 75?????

Oh MAN I want one now!!!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:15 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha. Also the French 95 and 125 and the Classic.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:16 (twenty years ago)

I had a french 75, it was pretty good

― chris (chris), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:17 (twenty years ago)

i had a classic.

also went to elbow room but there was a 45 min wait for pool table so i left early. one day i will wipe the floor with rob b at some kind of bar sport.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:18 (twenty years ago)

chris should have gone for a cbrassic.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:18 (twenty years ago)

Cabbage flavoured cocktail? Well, if (Canadian) people drink fishy tomato juice, I guess anything goes.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:19 (twenty years ago)

Oh yer b#stards. Give me gin and give me champers!!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:21 (twenty years ago)

wait a minute, Barima is back?

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:39 (twenty years ago)

Ken you're on. Floors will be mopped. Clocks will be cleaned. Oh yes.

My post-bouze grocery shopping was much more successful this time. Although I forgot eggs.

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:50 (twenty years ago)

i've never been to Elbow Room and would quite like to

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:59 (twenty years ago)

but we can play pool when we go to Rowans (YES BOWLING SOON OKAY)

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 1 July 2004 10:59 (twenty years ago)

yes to pool at Rowans, no to bowling

― chris (chris), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:00 (twenty years ago)

yay rowans!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:02 (twenty years ago)

I'm up for Rowans! DDR!!!

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:03 (twenty years ago)

YOU KNOW IT

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:04 (twenty years ago)

Pool? Cool!
