My heavy friends (I think they are still friends) were commenting on the lack of poor peoaple on the streets and then as if by magic there was an old woman widdling in the middle of the pavement. I tried to explain Cardboard City in Spanish to no avail. Later on in the week realised it was much more effective to just make things up.

Assuming I can afford to come at all, I will be in London EARLY DOORS on Wednesday to do something INTERESTING yet to be decided, so if anyone wants to chum up, just say the word.

What time are people going to be a Freud? I'm wondering if I can stop by on my way to rehearsal. A couple of Long Island Iced Teas might stop me from bottling Pete again.

I saw peeing, in the street, in madrid, once.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 20 September 2004 08:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Par for the course for them lot.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 20 September 2004 09:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll be there 5.30ish, I think, if I make it at all, which I probably will.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 20 September 2004 09:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I am hoping to be there by five.

Sometime between ten past Martin and quarter to Gareth.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 20 September 2004 10:43 (twenty-one years ago)

See, this is much better than your feeble 'clock' system!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 20 September 2004 10:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Can someone explain, about the ducks and things, earlier? I might be there, if I knew what it was.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Some of us, Steady Mike included, were wondering whether there might be something to do earlier on in the day. Mike suggested lobbing bread at ducks. Nothing more has been said on the subject, but I am after for Early Doors antics so that I can get my money's worth for the train fare. I don't know whether N has to be involved or not. Perhaps nothing else was said because he didn't say anything.

Anyway, I'm up for afternoon tea or whatever. I was thinking of going to one of those poofy art gallery places and maybe Mr CD.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Explanation: I was talking rubbish and a couple of people joined in. Thankfully things moved swiftly on.

I will try to arrive at Housefrau's at precisely the same time as Nick, so it looks like we're on a date.

(xpost)

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Does Housefrau's mean Freud's, or have I missed another clue, or cue?

Miller, let us have tea, together.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:47 (twenty-one years ago)

someone might like to point out to stevem that if he turns up at frueds at 20:03:17 he'd be drinking alone as migration to princess louise happens at 8pm

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm only coming to this if i receive a haircut beforehand.

― teh pow! (blueski), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

ken i didn't say i'd be at frueds at that time

― teh pow! (blueski), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Afternoon tea - we could start c. 4pm, at ... ?

― the duckfox, Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Wykorzystamy resztê œwiat³a do zrobienia zdjêæ domu.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and he has!

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't be bothered reading the whole thread - where is the FAP?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:54 (twenty-one years ago)

madame jo jo's

― teh pow! (blueski), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I know: I will ring PJM.

PJM -- I will ring you.

Be warned.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Not AGAIN, I'm never out of that place! (xpost)

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

the FAP (from upthread)

Freud (Shaftesbury Ave, opposite Forbidden Planet) from fairly early - just before 8pm.

Princess Louise (Holburn) 8pm - close.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

From "just before 8pm" till 8pm - boy, that place must really suck

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:00 (twenty-one years ago)

You think of somewhere for tea at 4, The Pinefox. It can be somehwere near where you 'work', if you are 'working' tomorrow. Or somewhere very far away, if you prefer.

I am sorry Mike was talking rubbish. I wasn't talking rubbish. I think the Diana Memorial would have been a good place to feed the ducks.

I have been watching a DVD with some Everton on it. I thought about Mike.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

i want tea and to feed ducks! but i have to work!

can we do this another time as well?

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Since its got a bit colder, the waterfowl in St James's Park have have stopped swimming as much and started just walking round the edge waiting for people to feed them. On my regular lunchtime walk today it reminded me that while I love geese when they are swimming around, I am abjectly terrified of them when they are right on the path in front of me pecking around. *shudder*

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

The only reason I would visit the Diana Memorial would be to blow it up

I fed some of these fellows in Regents Park, yesterday.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:25 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm getting my hair cut like that

― teh pow! (blueski), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, roughly how placid are pelicans? They scare the shit out of me too. Possibly because they look like they could actually devour a small child.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I was only dimly aware that I was talking rubbish at the time, PJM; I thought you were humouring me, then I was lost in the threadstampede and became convinced that I had, in fact, been talking rubbish.

Turns out I was talking breadcrumbs. I'm glad to see the ducky meme roar back. I originally meant camp men.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

whereas swans of course ~~can break a man's arm~~ USE OTHER FACTS PLEASE

(i can't remember if we got our strikethrough priviledges back or not, so that might not work proper like...)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

(oh hurrah we did!)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

strike through, pah

I want my TT

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:35 (twenty-one years ago)

It's actually quite good, Dadaismus.

Matt DC, are you a GUARDSMAN or do you work in the CABINET WAR ROOMS?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:38 (twenty-one years ago)

They are good ducks, Jerry.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a memorial to Princess Diana - by definition it is not good

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Sadly not. Do they usually let people who are scared of geese into such priveleged positions? If so, god help us if there's a war. Or if Al Qaeda start training waterfowl.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:41 (twenty-one years ago)

So would you jump and shriek like a girl if one were to suddenly brndish at you, for instance, a rubber duckie?

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Just asking like. Brandish.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Argh, where is the picture of the baby and the giant duck when you need it?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

ha, matt's greatest fear: a girl approaching him with her pet goose, inviting him to grind.

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:49 (twenty-one years ago)

not quite a duck but fond memories of this photo

Big action-packed day tomorrow; will deffo need some poncey booze. 18.15.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I like ducks, as a rule, but there is something not-nice, about the nipper's.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

My greatest fear was actually discussed in the pub on Friday night. We all agreed it is very scary indeed.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

RJG, you like those horrible manky Kelvin ducks that stink of widdle.
