Do ILX lookalikes count?

Oh Crikey - I had a five minute conversation with someone with the firm impression I was talking to Charlie No.4. I was not.

here's a freaky one: i think i've SAT NEXT to ken c on a bus, the 134, once. but a strange fear gripped me and i just couldn't ask.

― N_RQ, Monday, 6 June 2005 08:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh I just remembered, I think I saw ken c driving a car - is such a thing possible? Or desirable for that matter?

ken c does drive a car. ive been in that car. he does sort of drive it, though in the wrong direction and without really knowing where he is going, as far as i can tell

Ken once gave me a lift all the way from London to Glasgow (and back again, through a furious thunderstorm) and his driving was impeccable.

I was taking part too! I dunno, it was right at the end of the night and you looked as if you were leaving plus I was probably trying to impress some woman or other at the time...

I saw Momus at an art opening / rooftop BBQ / bluegrass jam on Washington Street last night. Shook his head at the leftover room-temp American burgers.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 8 July 2005 13:33 (twenty years ago)

Actually, they looked quite tasty. You should have said hello, you snobbish hipster!

― Momus (Momus), Friday, 8 July 2005 13:51 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, I probably would just have asked for absolution for buying a used copy of "Forbidden Software Timemachine" in San Francisco last month.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 8 July 2005 13:58 (twenty years ago)

Absolution absolutely granted!

― Momus (Momus), Friday, 8 July 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

DDB LATER TODAY DRIVING A CAR (WTF?!?!?) DOWN GATES AVE IN MY HOOD!!!

― hstencil (hstencil), Saturday, 9 July 2005 19:52 (twenty years ago)

From the bus window last night, hstencil walking east on 14th Street. The black Pedro Martinez t-shirt served as positive ID.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 July 2005 13:04 (twenty years ago)

Weirdly, Ben and I also saw stence over the weekend, wearing white pants to brunch with an apple-cheeked miss. At that place in Wburg, Edith's or E-something, anyway. Sadly they were out of sausages and gravy but we cobbled together breakfasts involving cocktails, instead.

― Laurel, Monday, 18 July 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

wasn't me morbs! last night i was in williamsburg, wearing a solid black t-shirt! i was at enid's sunday tho. damn fine bloody mary(s)!

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 03:11 (twenty years ago)

for the record i can't remember what days pedro starts now so i haven't worn the shirt in a while.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 19 July 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

God knows who else I've mistaken. Are those really my relations?

On the Hungerford Bridge, Thursday evening, Mark C - must have been on his way home, I suppose. It was a nice surprise.

― spontine (cis), Friday, 22 July 2005 22:41 (twenty years ago)

This morning I think I saw Ricky T Boy of Badgers in the tunnel between the London Underground Railway and the "proper" station at Paddington. About 7.45, wearing a green t shirt. I decided not to spark a security alert by shouting hello. Also it might not have been him, then I would have looked a proper ninny.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 1 August 2005 06:42 (twenty years ago)

I saw Ken C yesterday at a bus stop near Old Street. I was going to say hello, but he moved off at a great pace and he was wearing headphones, so there didn't seem to be any point in shouting.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 1 August 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

Dadaismus last night at Old Street roundabout.

roffle!

― g-kit (g-kit), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 07:27 (twenty years ago)

that same night stevem saw dadaismus at old street roundabout i saw dadaismus on camden road (basically he's been - badly - stalking all ilxors)

strange too, because at some point that night i was ALSO at that very same old street roundabout (alas on a bus), as was marianna lcl.

and now i found out anna was near there on sunday night too, as was i! is old street roundabout the ilx vortex??

(p.s. hi anna! haha i just remembered that i WAS moving at great pace! it was because i thought i was going to be late getting to the Pleasure Unit on bethnal green road, and i actually had no real idea how to get there either and i was in a mad panic)

incidentally i also saw Ed. last week sometime at the sainsbury's opposite warren street station agonising over which bakery product to purchase.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 4 August 2005 09:49 (twenty years ago)

Yes, on Tuesday night:

1. stevem - pre-Celtic game, i.e. in hurry
2. ken c - post-Celtic game, i.e. drunk (me, that is)

― Vicious Cop Kills Gentle Fool (Dada), Thursday, 4 August 2005 09:56 (twenty years ago)

agonising over which bakery product to purchase

ed, in a nutshell

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 4 August 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

ed finally made up his mind, when i saw him again this lunchtime, now at the check-out queue.

Oh Crikey - I had a five minute conversation with someone with the firm impression I was talking to Charlie No.4. I was not.

-- Anna (Fieldingann...)

!!!

When/where was this, anna? Are you sure it wasn't actually me? Mind you, haven't seen you in a wee while...

*disappears in puff of smoke*

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 4 August 2005 15:44 (twenty years ago)

i smoked a spliff once and thought i talked to charlie no4 for ageees. then i realised i was only talking to a puff of smoke

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 4 August 2005 16:11 (twenty years ago)

you calling me a puff, like?

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Monday, 8 August 2005 12:54 (twenty years ago)

No, because I even said to my mate : "I didn't know you knew Charlie Iv***s!" "Who?" he said. "Over there," I said. "He's called James," he said. "Are you sure?" I said. "Yes", he said. No wonder he looked at me like I was mad when I started on about Poptimism, I thought.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 8 August 2005 13:04 (twenty years ago)

Ah, Charlie, I knew I'd find you in here - you weren't answering your phone.

(a) Did you get something for Al?
(b) Are you seeing Magic Numbers tonight?
(c) What time does this thing kick off again?

Sorry to get all off-topic!

― Huey (Huey), Monday, 8 August 2005 13:07 (twenty years ago)

But is it really him?

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 8 August 2005 13:09 (twenty years ago)

Oh and it was at the Push bar in Soho on a night called Brilliant Maniac. I was very very drunk.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 8 August 2005 13:10 (twenty years ago)

It looks like him.

― Huey (Huey), Monday, 8 August 2005 13:11 (twenty years ago)
