Well, the conversation was quite dystopian!

Had a good time as well.
Thanks for that Stevie, I'm looking forward to reading it - although some of the emails I've been getting today...
Hi Gamaliel Thanks for your usual clarity. Its helps focus my mind. [...] We'll have a chat to ensure we are singing from the same hymn and to discuss any potential staging. Thanks again CheersA Manager
A Manager
Later on another person, separately, said 'to make sure we are singing the same song'. Still, I'm looking forward to that potential staging. Sounds like it shd be fun.

Thanks everyone.
Looks like a lot of people want to secretly join a choir happen to also work in management.
Thanks for that link Stevie.

How about a drink next week? or is everyone away?
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 18:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm away till Friday.
― the pinefox, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 21:59 (thirteen years ago) link
That should not have posted twice (twice).
― the pinefox, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 22:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Might Thur 29th be a good day for this? Would be nice if anyone is about.
Could potentially do monday 26th, too. Confirm in a week.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 18 September 2011 17:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Yep, I'm up for this. Either date, but I'd probably prefer the Thursday.
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Sunday, 18 September 2011 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Noted. Royal Oak again, wdn't have it anywhere else by this point :-)
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 18 September 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Think woof was keen on the FAP as well, but I think he's away for a couple of weeks. Not that it need affect anything of course, but he did say it wld be good to have one. Good to see Stevie drumming up custom on the london thread as well!
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Thursday, 22 September 2011 14:33 (thirteen years ago) link
yes, i will not be able to make it, but there in spirit, complaining about James Wood, Michael Wood, etc.

Will mutely thump the table shd their names be mentioned.
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Friday, 23 September 2011 14:54 (thirteen years ago) link
George Wood?
Ron Wood?
Roy Wood?
― the pinefox, Friday, 23 September 2011 15:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Royal Oak? Ou est le Royal Oak.
Actually Thursdays are out, but still.
― PJ Miller, Friday, 23 September 2011 17:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Borough. Down a back street - Tabard Street I think. V nice pub.
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Friday, 23 September 2011 18:11 (thirteen years ago) link
We haven't actually named a date for this, have we?
― the pinefox, Friday, 23 September 2011 19:53 (thirteen years ago) link
no.
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Friday, 23 September 2011 23:05 (thirteen years ago) link
er, 'Thur 29th'.
woof/PJ Miller - would the next Thursday be better for this? Alternatively, can come along on Tue/Wed this week (in fact wd be able to stay a bit longer if that were the case - probbly need to be off by 9.30 this Thur). Not sure if Gamaliel or PF would be able to make that.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 24 September 2011 07:17 (thirteen years ago) link
That Tuesday might be difficult but other than that I'm easy.
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Saturday, 24 September 2011 07:20 (thirteen years ago) link
Wednesday is cool w/me.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 24 September 2011 07:39 (thirteen years ago) link
let's make it one night this coming week. I can do most of them, at the moment.
― the pinefox, Saturday, 24 September 2011 10:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Wednesday's fine by me.
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Saturday, 24 September 2011 12:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Wed 28th then!
― the pinefox, Monday, 26 September 2011 08:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Best not to count on me at the moment (not at my best), but Thursdays are always out.
― PJ Miller, Tuesday, 27 September 2011 11:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Just recovered from fluey roughness - see you tomorrow, round 6.30-7.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 27 September 2011 20:22 (thirteen years ago) link
I'll leave a book at the table in case anyone else wants to come along and doesn't know anyone here - Female Man by Joanna Russ.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 27 September 2011 20:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Enjoy! Sad I cannot be there.
(Wood ranking:
Roy>Victoria>Ron>Michael=James>Elijah.
I don't know about George.)

any ETAs anyone?

had to work late, puncture, just missed a train, half seven? Still, at least I've got Ada to read.
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Wednesday, 28 September 2011 17:26 (thirteen years ago) link
I have heard that Ada can improve just about any situation.

I have been very busy but am planning to head out now - so hang on there?
― the pinefox, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 18:52 (thirteen years ago) link
we'll hold the fort.
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Wednesday, 28 September 2011 18:56 (thirteen years ago) link
we did the FAP.
― the pinefox, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 23:32 (thirteen years ago) link
I enjoyed the FAP.

Did you come to any conclusions?
― you don't exist in the database (woof), Thursday, 29 September 2011 16:14 (thirteen years ago) link
That you were missed :-)
Especially when we touched on M.Wood's article on the Wake.

Fizzles, re Stevenson at the Edinburgh Writers' Museum - a free gem:http://burnsscotland.com/tours/edinburgh/
http://www.qype.co.uk/place/418423-The-Writers-Museum-Edinburgh
a few coments about it on that page.
― the pinefox, Friday, 30 September 2011 15:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Thanks pinefox! I'm going to try and get there before the end of the year. Sedulous = 1.assiduous or diligent 2. painstaking
ORIGIN L sedulus from se dolo without deception, hence in earnest.
Is actually an essay by RLS, didn't know that, makes more sense for Wyndham Lewis to have called him that now.
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Friday, 30 September 2011 15:17 (thirteen years ago) link
How about a drink next Thurs at the...Royal Oak :-)
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 20:44 (twelve years ago) link
(Jan 19th)
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 20:45 (twelve years ago) link
sounds… plausible.
also, ilb awaits return of the pinefox
― you don't exist in the database (woof), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 23:51 (twelve years ago) link
Suspect he may have got slightly lost en route to the sandbox and possibly given up ilx for dead, or at least semi-vegetative state, to be checked in a couple of years maybe.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 19:06 (twelve years ago) link
Oh yeah, drink. Drink is good. Any day of the week. That day? Yes! That day!
he'll be back I'm sure, have a vague recollection of wanting to do this pre-xmas before ilx went into a coma.
See you next thurs.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 21:34 (twelve years ago) link
astonished to find ILX exists
― the pinefox, Thursday, 12 January 2012 09:27 (twelve years ago) link
hope to see some of you tomorrow. be about from 5.30-6pm
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 18 January 2012 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
apologies to the pinefox for assuming he mightn't have the nose to truffle out a book FAP. Folly on my part. I'll be there with a copy of Walter de la Mare's Collected Perms. Probably from about quarter to seven, not later, possibly dependent on what time a colleague from work whose company I'm rather keen on gets her train. We talk books. It's preparation!
― Fizzles, Thursday, 19 January 2012 08:45 (twelve years ago) link
so this is tonight ???
