FAP London

... outside in the street.

i was expecting him to greet FAP attendees at the door as they arrived?

i don’t know what time or state i’ll be in when i get there, but be there i will.

thats my approx schedule and aim also tbh

Myself and/or SV will come some time...eventually so you might crack ten if that fact doesn’t put off all the regulars.

thats the thing isnt it, its like forming a functioning govt rather than just counting the voters rly

xpost - yay would love to meet you both!

the question of what a functioning ilx government would look like has been preoccupying me for a short while now.

but agreed a darraghfap is unlikely to deliver it.

I will be along early doors and probably heading to Petefest after that. Excited about being able to argue about the merits of Juan Foyth in person.

I'm fairly sure I attended the original FAP in this thread (my second ever!)

xps to ENBB, yes, same! Hopefully next time 🤞🏻

now confused as to gyac/MR seamus milne attendance

I’m excited! Also FYI today is Roberto S’s birthday and we’re going out this evening. We are old so two nights out is a big deal which is all to say we must really like you guys. Also, you can wish him a HB tomorrow!

Not seen RS post in a while iirc? Hope he's alright! (him being alright might be why he doesn't post as often?) Not at the FAP but HB to him regardless.

He’s fine. :)

now skewing earlier, depending on whether it looks more or less feasible to dash to the hotel before lunch.

looking fwd to seeing ye all, unless you are an undeclared lurker

that has to have happened, right? hovering next to faps, casually looking the other way all night?

sneaky fuckers. ill be watching for ye.

you won’t see me.

I hope to attend the FAP.

If I arrive at the College Arms at, say, 7pm - will I find ilx people like ENBB and Fizzles?

They'll be under a table somewhere.

What's the food like there?

I mean in the pub, not under the table per se.

Pinefox - yes! :)

I should be at the pub c. 6pm gazpacho/pesto production willing (am currently having coffee in the tiny café so am about five minutes from getting my skates on).

Blessings be upon all of you.

seeing this thread regularly bob to the surface like a recalcitrant jobby for days in a row has left me with the impression that drinking in london is a challenge akin to the moon landing

*nods*

we'll likely be coming straight from lunch and rooms havent been available, apologies in advance for what will certainly be travelworn state (not herself she will be cool elegance personified)

I’m still up to my elbows in gazpacho ingredients, trying to get there for 8 (after the bath I’ll need in order not to smell like a tomato processing plant).

Ok!!

oh forgot about this and went home! I lost my bike helmet which threw me completely off for the rest of the day!

load a shite

I’d have loved to meet the macs but alas. Have fun all!

Just finished the gazpacho, my kitchen looks like a crime scene. On my way ASAP.

strikes me that im now *less* sure about how to pronounce the l in lj

lovely to meet ye all obv. some of ye are much nicer irl.

Would’ve loved to bore you all to tears in person but I’m effectively city-ridden at the moment (ever more work beckons).

lovely to meet ye all obv. some of ye are much nicer irl.

and shame you cdnt come plax. i still occasionally yen for a herne hill FAP, so if ever the whim takes you, send up a flare, and myself and comrade alphabet (another HH resident) will be usually be around.

I was going to come but I got dates mixed up originally and thought Friday was the 3rd, the 2nd is my wife's birthday

I’m generally in for a Herne Hill pint or two also.

so

its as well we address it

is anyone going to own up to being that lurker enbb and i spotted in the corner table

Well, let's see if you can follow me around the room. The drunk Russians on the embankment at seven and eight o'clock. The couple waltzing around me at the embassy at nine and eleven. The waiter standing behind ENBB at the top of the stairs. Bow tie, twelve o'clock. The other ILX team. You're worried about me, why?

did i miss gyac and SV?

i mean chairman alph was there so maybe not but…

This was excellent fun, lovely to see/meet everyone.

xp alas no as we were busy tearing our hair out in despair over kittens (easier for me). Definitely another time though.

also why would comrade alphabet being there change anything

Because you both are he

MR seamas incognito

the lurker was... all of us
