I had a FAP in my bedroom on Sunday!

You read my thoughts (xpost)

oi oi.

― Sailor Kitten (g-kit), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:17 (nineteen years ago)

so, er.. fancy a pint, guys?

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:33 (nineteen years ago)

I have yet to experience a FAP. I think that’s mainly because they all seem to be in London. Does anyone do a FAP in the north?

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

aye, in glasgow :)

(and edinburgh this saturday.)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

I need to try Glasgow. Their FAPs sound like so much more fun. At the weekend, we decided that we were going to hire a big van so the Shimuras and a whole gang of Londoners could try Glasgow, but then I think we sobered up.

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

aye, in glasgow :)

oooh, too north. manchester area?

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

I considered heading up Glasgow direction over the weekend, when accentmonkey and her Bloke were around, but it turns out that the Glaswegians can't organise a piss-up in a ~~brewery~~ pub :(

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

not actually true :/

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

Don't spoil my illusions.

(Next you'll be telling me that all Glaswegian boys don't look like Bobby G)

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

People are still having FAPs.

― k/l (Ken L), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

Is the 21st Xmas FAP still on?

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

hire a big van so the Shimuras and a whole gang of Londoners could try Glasgow

yes! FAP/gig/lunacy ahoy. this is a great idea. get drunk again and do it. (although get someone else to drive, natch.)

it turns out that the Glaswegians can't organise a piss-up

oy! we had it well organised. for friday. but then accentmonkey turned out to be eating posh scran instead. i was forced to drink triple vodkas to get over the crushing rejection.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

Well, Ed did agree to drive, and he can't contradict me as he's trying Helsinki right now. I think so long as we can find a place to stay over so he can also drink and have fun the night of the gig without having to worry about getting home immediately.

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

don't forget the 27th! or the 28th or something.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 15:50 (nineteen years ago)

The FAP on the 27th - afternoon or evening?

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

New licensing laws mandate - both!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

but before the mandate pubs already open both afternoon and evening anyway!

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 18:49 (nineteen years ago)

I'm still up for driving people carrier to glasgow. House rule: no Screamadelica.

Up for further drinking any time I'm in town.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

glasgow fap is def in order for asap in '06 plizz. can we stay for 2 days so we can wander round your fair city? am sure any provision of sofas, floors etc will be reciprocated by your hospitable london ilxors.

are we trying to organise a pre-christmas fap fap here?

― emsk ( emsk), Thursday, 8 December 2005 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

that was the idea yeah! like next week or something.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:03 (nineteen years ago)

Andrew, I still owe you a tenner!

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

I live just outside Glasgow, but I'm sure it still will seem relatively local compared to getting to outlying bits of London. And I have a spare room with a small double bed in it if anyone wants to stay here.

So, yes, come to Glasgow! But post about it on Try Glasgow More, I think AccentmonkeyFAP failed slightly by being organised on I Love Books rather than ILE (and to be fair, most of Glasgow seem to have ended up out together anyway)

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

Is anyone ever going to fancy a pint in the North? I'd be up for some sort of Yorkshire FAP.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:11 (nineteen years ago)

Yay for Shimuras Try Glasgow! Ed will drive the Mystery Machine! I'll bring Scooby Doo! Excellent.

However, I think that we should not hijack the beast that is the Glasgow thread for this - I, for one, would rather not wade through 5000 posts of N. shaking his non-existent hips and RJG correcting everyone's commas, no matter how pretty the Glaswegian boys are.

(No Screamadelica? Awwww. How about XTRMNTR, then?)

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:29 (nineteen years ago)

Believe it or not, there is better Glasgow music than PS.

― Come Back Johnny B (Johnney B), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:32 (nineteen years ago)

yes. The Jesus and Mary Chain.

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

last time i had a FAP in a pub i was arrested!!!!

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!, Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

How do Primal Scream count as a Glasgow band when none of them have lived there for 15 years?

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

Stop harshbuzzing my clit-on with your pedanticism!

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

... ditto JAMC!

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

you can take the primal scream out of glasgow...

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

... thank fuck for that

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

but it'd involve removing all the drunks and the neds.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

I'm high on codeine and you're about 30 seconds away from a sullen scots boy image splooge! :-P

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, ken's not Dutch!

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, so what's going on with the trying *London* more, FAPsters?

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Thursday, 8 December 2005 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

Well, on wednesday 14th I'm going to the popjustice christmas party, where I'll be celebrating (if that's the right word) my thirtieth fucking birthday. Everyone should come!

Hello London Andrew!

(Sorry Matt DC)

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

And well done Ken C - you should FAP on the 13th as it is my birthday and you should go out and celebrate in my honour. But mostly because you want to.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

More salacious stories about Bobby G, please!

Or photos of lovely Glaswegian lads! Should I just go and hang out by the art school with a big net and a pint?

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:40 (nineteen years ago)

So, is it true, about a FAP, next Tues?

― the bellefox, Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

yes it is PF. Location not yet confirmed.

I'll have a drink in your honour Lara. Maybe even 2 drinks!

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

Hello Dublin Lara! I'll be back in town on the 15th, if you're still celebrating.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

Tuesday? There's a London FAP on the 21st, which I think it a Wednesday.

Wait, what is this Tuesday FAP? Where was this discussed, or did I miss it in all the Hawkwind and Glaswegian chatter?

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

16th, sorry. Second time in 2 days for that mistake.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

there is a FAP next Tuesday, the 13th, yes. In honour of Lara's birthday.

Location not yet confirmed, something makes me feel that this will happen at a samuel smith's establishment.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:47 (nineteen years ago)

I thought that was happening in Inverness! Blimey!

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

Minttu is a Finnish mint liqueur. It's also about 50 per cent, but doesn't taste so. Interesting things happen when you drink Minttu.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:56 (nineteen years ago)

That explains what's going on in all Tuomas' photos!

― Control your ponies, children! (kate), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

no inverness happens nearer xmas. or rather may happen. as it is far from confirmed.

i might actually be in milton keynes instead! (have to work out whether i have the funds to travel scotland again this wobs)

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 8 December 2005 17:57 (nineteen years ago)

I danced with Bobby Gillespie at Glastonbury, in a tent, with Motown playing, at about 6.30am on the Monday morning! Well, I danced near him while he molested a woman who looked exactly like Bobby G with breasts. It is not one of my fondest memories.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 8 December 2005 22:33 (nineteen years ago)

I'm moving

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 8 December 2005 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

HI DERE. Where is it at?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 12 December 2005 23:25 (nineteen years ago)

There's a FAP tomorrow? I'm not sure I can make it, sadly. If it is happening.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 12 December 2005 23:28 (nineteen years ago)

Tomorrow? As in today? Eh? This may be the last day I can FAP for a while - unless anyone wants to come round my NEW HOUSE tomorrow for pizza and beer. (You may be required to shift a box to claim your beer.)

― Kate Classic (kate), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:40 (nineteen years ago)

tongiht yeah. still up for it if you guys are.

how about some kind of central london pub place. i'm at a meeting around barbican until about 7pm and then i'm all up for booze

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:41 (nineteen years ago)

how about the Lord John Russell?????????????

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:49 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know, I'm not sure you have enough question marks there ken

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:50 (nineteen years ago)

How about somewhere not in the EEZOHAD? You only want to go there for the cute barmaid!

― Kate Classic (kate), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:50 (nineteen years ago)

what's the Eezohad? Of course I only want to go there for the cute barmaid! and the budvar.

where do you think then if not LJR? LJR is nice though.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:52 (nineteen years ago)

Cute barmaid? That sounds good. EEZOHAD??????????????????????????

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:52 (nineteen years ago)

also easy for me go get to by bus after barbican meeting.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:52 (nineteen years ago)

even cuter than the barmaid at the Pineapple in Kentish town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:53 (nineteen years ago)

ACtually, I'm trying to remember which one the Lord John Russell is. It's in Bloomsbury, isn't it? Maybe I'm confusing it with Mabel's Table or whatever that pub was called.

― Kate Classic (kate), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:53 (nineteen years ago)

There's lots of cute barmaids in the world.

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:54 (nineteen years ago)

yeah bloomsbury. just up towards euston road from russell square. the one with the cute barmaid!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:55 (nineteen years ago)

there's also lots of not very cute barmaids in the world. and worse still barmen!!!!! gross.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:55 (nineteen years ago)

It's just that there's really no easy way to get there without going past Joe's house. And sorry but I really don't want to run into him. :-(

― Kate Classic (kate), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

where are you coming from?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

Great Queen Street.

― Kate Classic (kate), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:57 (nineteen years ago)

oh man that is quite hard to avoid yeah. unless you take the 91 up to euston road and go round...

any other suggestion for pubs then?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:00 (nineteen years ago)

The Lamb

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:01 (nineteen years ago)

... and I'm not even FAPing!

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:02 (nineteen years ago)

THE LAMB IS EVEN CLOSER!!! Plus, he actually goes to the Lamb.

leave it at the Lord John Russell, I'll take the bus up to Euston.

― Kate Classic (kate), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:06 (nineteen years ago)

sweet. who's all coming then? i can get there for after 7pm.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:07 (nineteen years ago)

here, a proper thread
FAP digest: tuesday 13th (i.e. TODAY) at Lord John Russell!!!!!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:10 (nineteen years ago)

There was a Bobby Gillespie doppleganger that used to frequent clubs at Edinburgh art college in the early to mid 90s. Come to think about it, i saw him in Glasgow too. My friend's godmother is his second cousin (bobby g not the doppleganger).

― leigh (leigh), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:14 (nineteen years ago)

What? What? Are we talking about Bobby G on every thread now? Oh, my poor head.

― Kate Classic (kate), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:15 (nineteen years ago)

ken you are as bad as my work colleagues who insist on going to this crappy bar (it's definately a bar) so that a supposedly cute waitress can flirt big tips out of them.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha, who (of the Glasgow ILXors) remembers when Bobby G's dad ran for parliament as a Labour candidate (the thickest, most useless parliamentary candidate of all time) in a by-election in a safe Labour seat Glasgow and GOT UTTERLY TROUNCED?

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:18 (nineteen years ago)

Bob Gillespie. He made John Prescott seem like Edmund Burke.

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:20 (nineteen years ago)

I need to find a pub which is staffed exclusively by floppy haired, pointy nosed, sullen Scots Bobby G lookylikes. And then we can FAP there all the time.

x-post come on, even MY dad did better than that!

― Kate Classic (kate), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:20 (nineteen years ago)

maybe there should be a london fap'pers BOARD

― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:21 (nineteen years ago)

I thought that was what the Steering Committee was for!

― Kate Classic (kate), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:24 (nineteen years ago)

ed but LJR is acutally a nice pub! and the barmaid doesn't get tipped!

what are the criteria that warrants a new board these days? two threads a week?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 11:24 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, I want to come, to the FAP, later!!

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 13 December 2005 14:00 (nineteen years ago)

So, hey, is there another FAP soon? You had better tell us. I think Kenneth said 21st Dec?
