Lets go for mid-march?
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 10:47 (twelve years ago)
I have no life; I will FAP whenever (FAP forever) but I'm always in town on Thursdays so that would be best?
― Bipolar Sumner (Branwell Bell), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 10:50 (twelve years ago)
yes, this sounds good to me. Mid-March works, Thursdays generally good.
― woof, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 10:52 (twelve years ago)
Lets go for Thurs 13th March at the same place and then various people (includes me) can confirm nearer the time.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 11:28 (twelve years ago)
yep, full-on busy atm, but things shd settle down soon.
― Fizzles, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 19:16 (twelve years ago)
Yay! Sounds good. Will pencil it in. Hope to see you all there. With dolmens on.
― Bipolar Sumner (Branwell Bell), Tuesday, 25 February 2014 21:40 (twelve years ago)
OK people I will see you at that pub for that FAP if possible
― the pinefox, Wednesday, 26 February 2014 14:32 (twelve years ago)
Still good for this next thurs.
Tim if you are reading - are you coming?
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 7 March 2014 11:11 (twelve years ago)
I will come, and if I successfully manage to contain my surliness you can tell me all about Sas Bo Bip.

― xyzzzz__, Friday, 7 March 2014 11:59 (twelve years ago)
I'm in. Got a post-work drink I should do, so between 7 & 8.
― woof, Thursday, 13 March 2014 09:53 (twelve years ago)
See you all later.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 March 2014 10:33 (twelve years ago)
Not sure I'll be able to come along tonight, sadly. Sadly for me, rather than for you, obv.
― Tim, Thursday, 13 March 2014 10:54 (twelve years ago)
I think I also cannot attend the FAP.
― the pinefox, Thursday, 13 March 2014 10:58 (twelve years ago)
I'm in. once I've tommy-gunned my entire office down.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 13 March 2014 14:49 (twelve years ago)
It would be nice to be at a FAP, outside, tonight.
― the pinefox, Thursday, 13 March 2014 15:21 (twelve years ago)
That didn't go well last time we tried. (Won't be able to make it myself tonight mafraid.)
― ledge, Thursday, 13 March 2014 15:59 (twelve years ago)
sad face @ Tim.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 13 March 2014 16:14 (twelve years ago)
and ledge. yeah I remember we got all ahead of ourselves with the summer weather last year and ended up dragging our sorry somewhat cold asses back to the Royal Oak.
pinefox and ledge are lubberly knaves.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 13 March 2014 17:14 (twelve years ago)
What happened at the FAP?
― the pinefox, Thursday, 13 March 2014 23:16 (twelve years ago)
Beer was drunk. Game pie was eaten. (Not by me, natch.) Agile Stand-ups were hated. The difference between Where and Having established. Kate Mosse dissed, at length. (And examples required of post-Name Of The Rose library mysteries.) The form and formalism of Rom-Coms addressed. St Eustice (not actually St Eustice, but TBC) had his feet dried by seals. Whether certain audiences were ready for Strokes-shagging was not established. Everyone thinks I should go and work running an international policing organisation's databases. I'm sure there was more, but I left early claiming exhaustion, at having walked all the way from Bloomsbury in the sun.

Oh, and the secret history of the gentrification of "Brixton Village" and the not-real England-ness of the "Village" real estate agent construction.
― "Endemic. What does that mean, man?" (Branwell Bell), Thursday, 13 March 2014 23:30 (twelve years ago)
I thought it was a success. succinctly encapsulated by BB.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 13 March 2014 23:33 (twelve years ago)
See you all in the (world cup) summer.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 14 March 2014 00:15 (twelve years ago)
I am far too ruined today for how little I drank. :(
― "Endemic. What does that mean, man?" (Branwell Bell), Friday, 14 March 2014 09:39 (twelve years ago)
woof - what's that anthology of anglo-saxon poetry we talked about again?
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 14 March 2014 09:40 (twelve years ago)
Fairly certain it's this one we were discussing

― "Endemic. What does that mean, man?" (Branwell Bell), Friday, 14 March 2014 09:44 (twelve years ago)
Thanks!
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 14 March 2014 09:45 (twelve years ago)
xp yes - it's Richard Hamer's A Choice of Anglo-Saxon Verse - Faber - it's been around forever in different covers (but I never see it much). Also mentioned Beowulf: A Glossed Text in Penguin Classics.

― woof, Friday, 14 March 2014 11:28 (twelve years ago)

mid-june, maybe Thurs 5th or 12th?
I won't be able to do this during the world cup..
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 22 May 2014 13:30 (twelve years ago)
Seeing Lear on the 5th, 12th is doable.
― ledge, Friday, 23 May 2014 11:24 (twelve years ago)
give him my regards.
― koogs, Friday, 23 May 2014 11:30 (twelve years ago)
both don't look too bad for me tho' I am sure I am forgetting something.
― woof, Friday, 23 May 2014 12:11 (twelve years ago)
I've been going to Tabard street once a week these last couple of weeks to read more - was under a mountain of ILL to finish. Feel really comfortable for reading there.
Aim for the 12th then..
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 23 May 2014 12:18 (twelve years ago)
won't be able to make 12th but will raise a glass wherever I am.
― Fizzles, Tuesday, 3 June 2014 08:42 (twelve years ago)
ah, shame.
Of course if others drop out I can always move it to July.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 3 June 2014 09:14 (twelve years ago)
coincidentally the 12th is not looking so good for me now - leaving drinks for a friend and future reuters malaysia correspondent.
― ledge, Tuesday, 3 June 2014 10:08 (twelve years ago)
Cool, I'll move this to July then - hope to see all of you then.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 3 June 2014 16:51 (twelve years ago)
Still on?
― Tommy McTommy (Tom D.), Friday, 18 July 2014 12:33 (eleven years ago)
For sure, about on Thurs 24th or 31st.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 18 July 2014 12:38 (eleven years ago)
yep, can also do either.
― Fizzles, Friday, 18 July 2014 18:25 (eleven years ago)
down for tomorrow - fizzles is about.
Tom D.? anybody else?
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 23 July 2014 09:03 (eleven years ago)
I think… yes? I may have to check.
― woof, Wednesday, 23 July 2014 09:12 (eleven years ago)
Cool, will be there tomorrow. Need a drink (don't we all really these days) plus I'll finish this book I'm on.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 23 July 2014 09:17 (eleven years ago)

― woof, Wednesday, 23 July 2014 09:33 (eleven years ago)
