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.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 07:55 (twenty-one years ago)

An email sent literally moments ago:

Dear PF,

I propose meeting at 4 outside the FORBIDDEN PLANET opposite FREUD'S where I
am sure we will find somewhere suitable for a Chimps' Tea Party and then be
ready to pounce on an unsuspecting DASTOOR and JONES as they attempt to
sneak into FREUD'S for a gay tryst.

I am going to post this on the appropriate thread in case anyone else wants
to come. If you have any better ideas, mobile phone me (it will be switched
off if I'm anywhere poncey, but I will switch it on again later) and post
details on the appropriate thread in case anyone esle wants to come. Try to
discourage RIFF-RAFF.

PJM

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:01 (twenty-one years ago)

watch out for the dalek

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:26 (twenty-one years ago)

And the big Hulk head.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:29 (twenty-one years ago)

ah, after rooting for the bar idea and suggesting the pub, i don't know if i'll make this or not. i'm now going to some fashion show and dinner and stuff. which sounds fun (free champagne and famous people to gawk at, maybe) but i'm also freaking out because what do i wear?!

so if it ends early enough, i'll come along to the pub. also, if the fashionable people laugh and point and i have to run away crying, i'll be there earlier.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:37 (twenty-one years ago)

just wear what you wore in that photo on the latest WDYLL thread

― teh pow! (blueski), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah totally Colette! Rock on & stick your fingers up at any fashionista scum!!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:40 (twenty-one years ago)

er, i'd rather fade into the background so i can get drunk and hopefully be able to drool over chr1st1an sl47er...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Work has returned, with great abruptness, to Normal and today that means leaving at 4:50 after a solid seven-point-five hammering away at D**e G****n's G*********k A*******e. So the PG Tips will have make like Lipton and go on ice. Plimpton. Trumpton.

I'll be swanning into Freda's nice and early though, with my own tankard and a half-crown for the juker.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I am (possibly!!) going to the GIM before this!

Bring yer nosepegs.

― Starry (hello chickens), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Kidnap random slebs and bring them to the FAP.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:55 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, ok. can you imagine how funny it would be if a load of famous people came down to the princess louise with me? ha.

i'll give it a try, though. it'll be a project for me to work on so i don't spend the whole time worrying about what i'm wearing.

i think i need anna or suzy to dress me! i'm so hopeless about fashion...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 09:01 (twenty-one years ago)

> D**e G****n's G*********k A*******e

need more letters...

ah, got it now. involves a very big number?

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 09:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah mate, that's 'plex' not 'whack' innit.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i was thinking of 10^100 (which is still pretty big as numbers go) rather than 10^(10^100)

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 10:11 (twenty-one years ago)

(plus it's spelt differently, something that i'd forgotten)

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 10:46 (twenty-one years ago)

As I said on my thread, I won't be available tonight, despite being in town, so enjoy yourselves, N et al.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 10:51 (twenty-one years ago)

g****ew***k always sounds more like surfing for p**n than looking for t*o w**ds that r****n just one r****t
