Full complement of Toms.

No Who concert on tomorrow, is there?
― Crawling From The Blecchage (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 15 July 2015 14:21 (ten years ago)
Not tonight though I go to a lecture beforehand and might not be free till say 8pm. So this FAP happens tonight, at the Royal Oak, yes?
― the pinefox, Thursday, 16 July 2015 08:22 (ten years ago)
Looks like it. Estimated times of arrival for anyone?
― This Year's Model Victim (Tom D.), Thursday, 16 July 2015 09:17 (ten years ago)
Probably about half six/seven for me.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 16 July 2015 10:22 (ten years ago)
Good. I hope to see you later, Fizzles and co.
― the pinefox, Thursday, 16 July 2015 10:49 (ten years ago)
How I wish I could make it. I have one good excuse and one bad one. Sorry.
― Tim, Thursday, 16 July 2015 11:07 (ten years ago)
I'll try to be there ca.7
― This Year's Model Victim (Tom D.), Thursday, 16 July 2015 11:25 (ten years ago)
Likewise
― Crawling From The Blecchage (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 16 July 2015 12:09 (ten years ago)
Tim, that bad excuse just won't do.
I accept the good one, though. That one's OK.

Wir sind jetzt hier

We have little table right near door on Tabard.
― Crawling From The Blecchage (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 16 July 2015 17:56 (ten years ago)
That was fun, thanks. How much longer did you guys stay?
― Crawling From The Blecchage (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 17 July 2015 07:47 (ten years ago)
till the bitter end.
― ledge, Friday, 17 July 2015 08:05 (ten years ago)
sadly you missed the pf and some robust digressions on materialism and satire, other things that the clouds of memory have yet to reveal.
― ledge, Friday, 17 July 2015 08:11 (ten years ago)
Great to meet you, Ken, and your family(!)
― This Year's Model Victim (Tom D.), Friday, 17 July 2015 09:10 (ten years ago)
Likewise!
― Crawling From The Blecchage (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 17 July 2015 09:24 (ten years ago)
Remember what Fizzles was saying about Arthur Machen, and about Malcolm Brabant, but there was something about someone named David Eich(?) that I can't quite recall.
― Crawling From The Blecchage (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 17 July 2015 09:26 (ten years ago)
David Icke! Materialism, satire, machen… I wish I could have had more than a flying cameo
― woof, Friday, 17 July 2015 09:30 (ten years ago)
We also learned more about what Fizzles does at work. It involves both product management and project management.
― the pinefox, Friday, 17 July 2015 09:53 (ten years ago)
and prole management.
cosign!
quote from machen (or one of his characters) on materialism, included merely for lulz:
I began to dread, vainly proposing to myself the iterated dogmas of science that all life is material, and that in the system of things there is no undiscovered land, even beyond the remotest stars, where the supernatural can find a footing. Yet there struck in on this the thought that matter is as really awful and unknown as spirit, that science itself but dallies on the threshold, scarcely gaining more than a glimpse of the wonders of the inner place.

I regret that I was not present to palaver about David Peace with the pinefox.

We did some sightseeing at Hampton Court today but couldn't get into the chapel because there was a wedding going on. That wasn't you in there, woof, was it, kneeling on the Royal Pew?
― Crawling From The Blecchage (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 18 July 2015 18:15 (ten years ago)
If woof answers this in the next few hours, his wedding night priorities are definitely askew

Btw James, Fizzles and I were singing your praises.

Penultimate day here. Currently at a site featured in a David Lodge title.
― Archaic Buster Poindexter, Live At The Apollo (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 21 July 2015 11:00 (ten years ago)
That was not my wedding.
― woof, Tuesday, 21 July 2015 11:23 (ten years ago)
The world is a wedding.
Had to fill the void left in my life due to missing out on seeing the pintfox by meeting up with some Jane Austen professors I know that are also in town.
― Archaic Buster Poindexter, Live At The Apollo (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 21 July 2015 11:51 (ten years ago)
I am thrilled that missing out on me has left a void in someone's life.
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 21 July 2015 13:10 (ten years ago)
To be honest perhaps it was more like the interior of a damp annular on a wooden tabletop than a void per se.
― Archaic Buster Poindexter, Live At The Apollo (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 21 July 2015 14:57 (ten years ago)
a belated very nice to meet you and your lovely family, JR. and more generally good to see everyone else as well. it was the start of a fairly um celebratory three days from which I'm only just properly emerging, but it was good to start it at an ilb fap.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 23 July 2015 07:45 (ten years ago)
um celebratory
Haha i have questions
― woof, Thursday, 23 July 2015 16:22 (ten years ago)
It wasn't YOUR wedding at Hampton Court, was it Fizzles?
― Archaic Buster Poindexter, Live At The Apollo (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 23 July 2015 16:23 (ten years ago)
_um celebratory_Haha i have questions
yes, in some ways they probably align with mine. I'm trying to bury them somewhere deep before i retrieve the answers.
i really hope not but I'm not the best person to ask.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 23 July 2015 20:03 (ten years ago)
FYI: Former ILB0r Casuistry is in London right now and today was his birthday.
― Archaic Buster Poindexter, Live At The Apollo (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 2 August 2015 23:33 (ten years ago)
I revive this thread to announce that in honour of Fizzles, I today eat GAME PIE with mash for lunch.
― the pinefox, Thursday, 27 August 2015 12:50 (ten years ago)
Noted with approval.

Around Thurs 13th November or 11th December..

I had a hospital appointment at Guy's today, so afterward I treated myself to two (different) halves of Harvey's at the nearby Royal Oak.
It was nice and quiet. The barman was a dour Scot. I carried on rereading THE TRIAL.
