Royal Oak pub near Borough tube. I will be there from 530/6pm. I will set an NYRB classic on the table so you know who we are :-)

You and your bloody eardrum. Sorry to miss you, Fizzles. I expect to be there by about 6.15.
― Tim, Thursday, 13 June 2024 15:39 (three months ago) link
A quick drop-in but probably around 630

I totally forgot this was today until Tim mentioned it to me on Sunday and I have therapy today so I can’t come but have a great time

October sometime?
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 4 September 2024 07:05 (three weeks ago) link
October is out for me.

I can do any week bar next as I'm in Paris.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 4 September 2024 07:17 (three weeks ago) link
I'm just back from Paris! Where are you staying?
― Defund Phil Collins (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 September 2024 07:18 (three weeks ago) link
The 5th.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 4 September 2024 08:01 (three weeks ago) link
Right, I've never stayed there before.
― Defund Phil Collins (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 September 2024 08:10 (three weeks ago) link
Did you enjoy it, Tom? I've not planned that much but its Paris..xp
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 4 September 2024 08:10 (three weeks ago) link
I go there at least once a year. There's definitely plenty to see and do!
― Defund Phil Collins (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 September 2024 08:28 (three weeks ago) link
For example, on a whim on Saturday I went to a free outdoor "jazz" concert. First band was sort of post-bop but the second was a Marxist avant-skronk Henry Cow meets Magma octet playing extracts from a concept album about workers.. I thought, only in France.

wait you have to tell us (me) their name! are they part of RIO? (does RIO still exist?)
i will be back in that london first week nov (health check-up) and again first week dec (meeting former ilxor) -- one stay will probably be several days more than the other but right now i haven't decided which
― mark s, Wednesday, 4 September 2024 08:39 (three weeks ago) link
Kami Octet
― Defund Phil Collins (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 September 2024 08:57 (three weeks ago) link
I assume they're too young for RIO.
― Defund Phil Collins (Tom D.), Wednesday, 4 September 2024 09:00 (three weeks ago) link
Lol sounds good.

Ok so let's aim for that first week of Nov. Check in nearer the time.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 4 September 2024 09:07 (three weeks ago) link
First week in nov seems likely to work for me also. Enjoy Paris, xyzzz... the best advice I can give you is to take Yerac's recommendations on the relevant thread seriously.
― Tim, Wednesday, 4 September 2024 15:35 (three weeks ago) link
November rules and I want to attend, can we please not have on the 4th out of deference to the papists among us (I have a prior commitment)
