London ILB - FAP?

Anti-rockism, artists who do and don't write their own songs, love and loss, record shops in seaside towns, British Catholic fiction of the mid-C20.

Don't forget Tim's secret other life as an air-sea rescue pilot.

Yes !!!

Wasn't this Mark in the LRB? http://www.lrb.co.uk/v13/n13/letters#letter5

I hopey not.

Julio I do have the Ungaretti, but not a spare, sadly.

I took a pic (two, actually) of my PMEPs, and loaded them to Flickr for your perusal, damned if I can work out how to post a link though. Maybe these will work:

But maybe not.

Well done Tim!

We have all forgotten to mention the most extensive and heated discussion of the night: Amelia Fletcher's betrayal of the radical aesthetics of 'My Best Friend' and 'Pastels Badge' in accepting an OBE.

And the fugue state induced by 'Pastels Badge'.

Looks good Tim, something to aspire to :)

See people might want another round :-)

Thing is I may not be able to turn up to the autumn one but lets set a date down. How is next Thursday 30th.

can't do next thursday, but am up for this. weather is making me feel pubby.

No to Thursday 30th. Can't do that.
Thursday 23rd, I can make it by about 9:30 if anyone is still around, but that's a bit late to get to a FAP.
Basically Thursdays not good for me.

we can surely shift it from a thursday. mondays and tuesdays unlikely to be good for me for the foreseeable - so a wednesday? my november wednesday's are looking empty.

5th November then?

i can do the 5th yes.

I could make a comment like 'expect fireworks', but that would be too much laboured facetiousness, even for me.

I'm not sure I have the money to FAP ;_;

I think it's got past the point where it's beyond just 'cheeky' to nurse half pints until someone takes pity on me.

5th November is not a good FAP night as it is fireworks night.

Ok, so how about the 4th Nov.

can't do 4th or 5th now unfortunately. what about <drumroll> Wednesday 12th?

I'm ok with that.

I'm not

LOL

haha we'll get there.

25th December?

Tom D - when can you make it? 19th November?

Yes, that's fine. Now poll on how long it will take for someone to object to this date.

I can do this date!

now waiting for a ledge-shaped spanner to come flying over the ILB wall and into the greenhouse.

nah that should be fine.

Massive spanner.

spanner or no spanner it'll be winter at this rate so Weds 19th it is. Same place.

see you then.

If I have a job by then, I may turn up. And try to stop conflating Mr Kent and Mr Kant.

I should be ok for this. Looking forward to some more drunken insistence on confused points.

Very impressed by the spanner picture.

On Wed 19th Nov I can only make it by say 9:30pm - will do so if others are still going to be present.

Should be, most FAPs (all of them that I can think of) have lasted till closing time.

Though not all of the FAPers have.

ledge+spanner is an excellent photo. feel it should be going out as an ILB Christmas card.

I was at the Royal Oak last night!
Can confirm that the pale ale remains high quality as did the haggis, neaps and tatties I tried.

Is this still on for 19th November?

I start my New! Job! near London Bridge on the 17th so it would be nice to have some drinks to celebrate.

I'm still on for it but you all MUST NOT LET ME DRINK TOO MUCH as I have got an early flight the next day and I've fucked up this way before.

oh and congratulations!

Seriously, Fizz, you should know by now, if you tell me "DO NOT LET ME DRINK ALL OF THE BEER" that basically just says to me "please make me drink all of the beer in this pub and maybe some other pubs as well."

You will make your plane if we have to roll you onto it.

yes colonel poo pulled a similar trick on me recently. I've changed my ways and will be chastely sipping a white wine spritzer or orange juice and soda water. you all can get on with the traditional ILB bottles of scotch and six straws.

The morra, as Bobby G would have it, for this then?

Yeah - see you then, unsure as to the time I'll arrive. Just want to get to a drink as soon as possible.

I will be leaving work near Tower Bridge about 5pm, and will be there as soon as it takes to walk over!

sore head after one solitary, albeit vinegary, pint. will be there, but with a reduced enthusiasm for the auld booze.

A little uncertain when I'm arriving - have to wait in for a delivery. But should be there by 7.
