Fizzles: this is the sound of Stevie (vocals) and me (lead guitar) playing a gig years ago.

Thanks pinefox, I'll have a listen later. I had a good time last night, although I'm feeling slightly tired today, despite sticking to mild.
The book that became becalmed trying to remember wrt malign pastoral was The Village that Died for England by Patrick Wright, a previous FAP mention by Stevie in fact. (Cowper Powys clan crop up in it).
Will put together a hit list of Kipling stories later, ledge, when I'm not... I just had to do a staff presentation and I felt very distant indeed.

Cheers - just had a look for Walter de la Mare short stories to freeload, no joy online but there's one collection in an SE library that I can reserve.
That mild is pretty heavy btw.

Would love to attend your FAP, but I neither live in London nor do I have much time to read right now and on top of that I think I have developed an allergy to beer! Plus I am secretly worried that your real life personalities will not live up to your sparkling internet personae so I think I will just sit in New York listening to the pinefox's SoundCloud channel instead.

Wine drinkers are also welcome James.
Good to see all the usual suspects again. Plus Tom D. making an appearance and telling me about Peer Raben's music.

I don't want to approve of anyone's beer allergy but it is a rare delight, for me though no one else, to think of an erudite well-read New Yorker listening to my SoundCloud channel.

Outstanding business from previous FAP. Ledge, I found my colleague's email reporting the original bit of output:
harry: my first line of my first bit of output yesterday was 'fizzles the chimp accused of murder'
sadly no record of what it was supposed to be. will continue investigations.

Fizzles is innocent!
― ledge, Tuesday, 14 February 2012 00:04 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't do it, I swear.

lol yeah Fizzles there wasn't much about London Bridge that I could see from my search.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 24 February 2012 23:02 (twelve years ago) link
pork scratchings as it happens. not quite the ticket, as my nan wd say.
― The Winged Devil Ape (Fizzles), Friday, 24 February 2012 23:03 (twelve years ago) link
you know this weather gets me thinking
― woof, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 15:47 (twelve years ago) link

― the pinefox, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 16:28 (twelve years ago) link
beer, shirt sleeves, books.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 16:40 (twelve years ago) link
that's it. beer, mellow evenings, shirt sleeves, london, books, talk.
― woof, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 16:51 (twelve years ago) link

great, ws gonna revive at the w/end!
When?
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 19:40 (twelve years ago) link
Next week would be good for me (my last week working in London before becoming a full-time home-counties daycare dad)?
― Stevie T, Thursday, 22 March 2012 10:04 (twelve years ago) link
That's ideal. Not Thursday though.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 22 March 2012 10:40 (twelve years ago) link
Or Wednesday.
― ledge, Thursday, 22 March 2012 10:43 (twelve years ago) link
Monday/Tuesday would be good for me I think: things altogether hairier towards the weekend.
― woof, Thursday, 22 March 2012 11:18 (twelve years ago) link
Like that previous tenant of my building Virginia Woolf, I can do Monday or Tuesday.
― the pinefox, Thursday, 22 March 2012 13:23 (twelve years ago) link
Tuesday?
― Fizzles, Thursday, 22 March 2012 19:15 (twelve years ago) link
good for me.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 22 March 2012 19:43 (twelve years ago) link
OK!
― the pinefox, Friday, 23 March 2012 11:13 (twelve years ago) link
btw Royal Oak is hardly an outdoors pub (assuming it's not thunderstorming by Tue pm anyway). does ILB FAP need a special alternative spring / summer venue?
― the pinefox, Friday, 23 March 2012 11:32 (twelve years ago) link
A new era for ILB FAPs may be upon us!

If we want to stay in the area, The George?
― woof, Friday, 23 March 2012 11:43 (twelve years ago) link
Curious, that doesn't show up on FancyAPint's list of pubs with garden. I don't love the george tbh - how about this (which I've never tried): http://fancyapint.com/Pub/2175 ?
― ledge, Friday, 23 March 2012 11:48 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, got my reservations about the george too, but it seemed easy. But we can do better than easy! Ship looks good.
― woof, Friday, 23 March 2012 11:57 (twelve years ago) link
*sniffs suspiciously* I guess that might be ok. Also not a fan of The George.
― Fizzles, Friday, 23 March 2012 12:00 (twelve years ago) link
working round here this week, something about the combo of the area, its pubs and the weather really makes me want to sit and drink and read for a while after I get off. And at lunch.
― woof, Friday, 23 March 2012 12:09 (twelve years ago) link
if the ship is bad we can stroll up to the george. via the lord clyde and the blue eyed maid - ilb crawl!
― ledge, Friday, 23 March 2012 12:13 (twelve years ago) link
BELUSHI'S
― woof, Friday, 23 March 2012 12:14 (twelve years ago) link
Happy to go w/ship.
It'll probably rain anyway :-)
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 23 March 2012 12:16 (twelve years ago) link
Ship is fine, obv. Yes, it'll be freezing.
Agreed, woof - god this weather gives you a thirst. The thought of sunlit daytime pubs brings tears of WANT to my eyes.
― Fizzles, Friday, 23 March 2012 12:35 (twelve years ago) link
Reckon I'll make this at about 8 tomorrow, what with a meeting inconveniently scheduled for 6:30.
― the pinefox, Monday, 26 March 2012 14:20 (twelve years ago) link
will be there uncharacteristically early I suspect, as I'm dodging the toad work in the afternoon.
― Fizzles, Monday, 26 March 2012 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
"Think of being them"
yeah it's great thanks.
― Fizzles, Monday, 26 March 2012 17:04 (twelve years ago) link
As long there is no madness (coming in from Hemel) I'll be there round 6-6.30
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 26 March 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
The Madness Out of Hemel
An unexpected addition to the Cthulu mythos.

spent a happy hour, on friday, reading the spoils of poynton by henry james, in the sunshine, by the duck pond, in queen's park, glasgow.
― Ward Fowler, Monday, 26 March 2012 20:45 (twelve years ago) link
Anyone want to have a read of Englischer Fussball, the book that Ismael sent me? He said to pass it on, but there haven't been any takers. I'll bring it along just in case.
― Fizzles, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 08:04 (twelve years ago) link
Unfortunately I won't be able to make this after all :(
