Vesaas is great - recently scored my 2nd copy of it (after also giving away my 1st)
Thinking I'll be voting by 6pm then depending on the queues etc should be in Tabard street by 8pm or so.

I don't think I'm on for a late one but will surely see you for one or two if you're there at 8ish.
― Tim, Thursday, 23 June 2016 12:41 (nine years ago)
Actually forgot its open till 10pm.
So I'll be there by 6pm for a drink and chat and then off to vote after.
See you then.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 23 June 2016 13:33 (nine years ago)
Tom! You still coming? Likely here til 8ish but then going to have to run.
― Tim, Thursday, 23 June 2016 18:20 (nine years ago)
I won't be able to get there till after 8pm, say 8.30. Not sure if anybody will still be there?

Woof just arrived! I will deffo wait to have a pint with you if you're coming.
― Tim, Thursday, 23 June 2016 18:58 (nine years ago)
We didn't talk much about books, though in our defence there were other pressing concerns last night; pleased that Tom D has a smart new username.
― Tim, Friday, 24 June 2016 13:00 (nine years ago)
Pleasure to see you all, I should add.
― Tim, Friday, 24 June 2016 13:01 (nine years ago)
Likewise. Need some more Toms next time though.

I went to the Royal Oak this week. What a tremendous place. 6 different Harveys brews on tap.
― the pinefox, Thursday, 27 October 2016 09:27 (nine years ago)

So, we're all leading separate lives these days ;_;

FAP mid-Nov?
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 27 October 2016 12:16 (nine years ago)
i am up to meet ppl who read books but don't talk about them
― mark s, Thursday, 27 October 2016 12:19 (nine years ago)
thread description.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 27 October 2016 12:33 (nine years ago)
I would FAP to not talk about books, as per, in mid-Nov. Assuming a traditional Thursday slot, the 10th would be best for me; I am busy on either the 17th or the 24th but I'm not sure which yet.
― Tim, Thursday, 27 October 2016 12:48 (nine years ago)
10th is good for me too
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 27 October 2016 12:53 (nine years ago)
I don't read books but talk about them anyway, if that's any use.
― Millions of species Faye Dunaway (Tom D.), Thursday, 27 October 2016 13:20 (nine years ago)
none whatever :)
see you there
― mark s, Thursday, 27 October 2016 13:22 (nine years ago)
I might be able to make 10th November also.
― the pinefox, Friday, 28 October 2016 09:51 (nine years ago)
10 Nov sounds good to me
(I seem only to post in the x-factor thread now but I will try to read something before we meet)
― woof, Friday, 28 October 2016 10:07 (nine years ago)
10th should be ok for me as well.
― Fizzles, Friday, 28 October 2016 14:28 (nine years ago)
Thursday still looking good, though I may be there a little later than usual because I'll be driving down from glamorous Sheffield that day.
― Tim, Monday, 7 November 2016 15:14 (nine years ago)
All good see you then. Probably be there round 6:30 - 7pm, coming in from Bristol.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 8 November 2016 22:59 (nine years ago)
is this the royal oak?
― mark s, Wednesday, 9 November 2016 12:59 (nine years ago)
Yes it is
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 9 November 2016 13:35 (nine years ago)
see you all there
― mark s, Wednesday, 9 November 2016 13:45 (nine years ago)
This will probably inspire more people to abstain than attend, but I think I shall be there? Early doors if you'd prefer to avoid my company.
― Sehr Kornisch (Branwell with an N), Wednesday, 9 November 2016 13:55 (nine years ago)
Yes be there catch you all tom
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 9 November 2016 14:13 (nine years ago)
Record turnout on the cards. I'm knackered with the cold, so don't know yet.
― The Doug Walters of Crime (Tom D.), Wednesday, 9 November 2016 14:22 (nine years ago)
I'm sorry but I'm afraid I won't be able to attend this one either.
― TS: "A-11" vs. "Track 12" (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 9 November 2016 14:34 (nine years ago)
I will attend. I love the Royal Oak.
― the pinefox, Thursday, 10 November 2016 15:14 (nine years ago)
will aim for 6ish probably
― mark s, Thursday, 10 November 2016 16:07 (nine years ago)
I've also got a cold, and have got to travel early tomorrow, so may have to give it a miss. Tho I may stick my head in early doors for a constitutional half pint if not too depleted.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 10 November 2016 16:47 (nine years ago)
This FAP is shrinking by the day!
― the pinefox, Thursday, 10 November 2016 16:51 (nine years ago)
Into "Manhole 69"!
― TS: "A-11" vs. "Track 12" (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 10 November 2016 17:00 (nine years ago)
Thanks for the FAP, people.
Not much talk about Books but great admiration for Tim's truly remarkable set of texts in a deluxe box set.
― the pinefox, Friday, 11 November 2016 07:23 (nine years ago)
