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.

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.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 1 August 2019 14:19 (four years ago) link
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.
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Thursday, 1 August 2019 21:46 (four years ago) link
you won’t see me.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 1 August 2019 21:51 (four years ago) link
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?
― the pinefox, Friday, 2 August 2019 09:51 (four years ago) link
They'll be under a table somewhere.
― How to Book Michael Fish (Tom D.), Friday, 2 August 2019 09:53 (four years ago) link
What's the food like there?
― Matt DC, Friday, 2 August 2019 10:21 (four years ago) link
I mean in the pub, not under the table per se.
Pinefox - yes! :)
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 2 August 2019 10:44 (four years ago) link
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― arli$$ and bible black (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 16 April 2019 15:03 (three months ago) bookmarkflaglink

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)
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Friday, 2 August 2019 11:43 (four years ago) link
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).
― suzy, Friday, 2 August 2019 17:43 (four years ago) link
Ok!!
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 2 August 2019 18:17 (four years ago) link
oh forgot about this and went home! I lost my bike helmet which threw me completely off for the rest of the day!

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

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.
― Fizzles, Saturday, 3 August 2019 11:00 (four years ago) link
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
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 3 August 2019 11:14 (four years ago) link
I’m generally in for a Herne Hill pint or two also.
― Tim, Saturday, 3 August 2019 11:56 (four years ago) link
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
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Saturday, 3 August 2019 14:38 (four years ago) link
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?
― 2019OK plus bennu (wins), Saturday, 3 August 2019 14:45 (four years ago) link

i mean chairman alph was there so maybe not but…
― mark s, Saturday, 3 August 2019 15:04 (four years ago) link
This was excellent fun, lovely to see/meet everyone.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 3 August 2019 15:07 (four years ago) link
xp alas no as we were busy tearing our hair out in despair over kittens (easier for me). Definitely another time though.
― gyac, Saturday, 3 August 2019 15:18 (four years ago) link
also why would comrade alphabet being there change anything
Because you both are he
