London ILB - FAP?

Still good for Thursday? I still am..

I need to test today and tomorrow but would like to come if I’m not contagious! I miss you all!

Having a tooth pulled earlier that day :/

Gl with tooth Daniel, am still positive today so not going to come. Next month hopefully.

I'm unexpectedly out of town this week for family reasons so can't be about, I'm very sorry to say.

I'm also positive today (day 8, LFT line getting thinner finally!) but would like to try next time.

Sounds like a good reason to start planning the April FAP date to me, Chuck.

Ok let's cancel this and go for April sometime. It will be good to meet, Chuck.

April when?

A Thursday where most are about. All of those are good for me.

Out of the country between the 7th and 14th, so after that would be great #noworriesifnot

Up for the 21st or 28th.

out of the country for both of those. i will hold my own book fap. with me. a “by-myself meeting” as ghostface killah says.

Here’s a controversial thought: let’s have it on a different day.

always with the solutions.

How is Thurs 5th May?

Far away! But far away enough I have no plans, so fine for me.

Still on for the 5th?

I can do this

Yeah, I'm in.

Is this still on? Where?

This Thursday at the Royal Oak.

I'm 75% sure I'll make it but won't be there until a little later than usual.

Would be good to see you :)

Which Royal Oak, what time? Probably can't make this Thursday as my partner's working late and I have to do nursery pickup that day. But I'll try if I can!

I'm unlikely to be there, health does not permit.

Sorry to hear this Tom, get well soon

Chuck - Royal Oak in Tabard street, near Borough

Obv no worries we will do another FAP late summer. Do shout about dates that are good for you when it's being organised too.

Tom D - get well soon.

How do you find each other and do you only allow certain people in? Do you have to wear a badge? (These are hypothetical questions.)

I think most of the people who go to ilb faps are the same crowd who know each other? The last one I went to I knew about half the people going so I just showed up and hoped that one of the people I knew would turn up. Then others came and then we all froze to death.

All ilx people allowed (non-ilx allowed too but they might not be able to follow some of the conversation, or even get to it, how would they know of it).

If a new ilx person who has never been to one of these turns up we can have a book on the table.

In or outside btw?

In or outside btw?

Royal Oak is an inside pub.

Have you ever had a FAP in one of your wonderful parks and how late in summer would such an event be seasonable?

Do they serve beer in parks?

We could get cans, but these FAPs have always been in pubs.

Youn if you come maybe we could put this radical ideas into action. Are you in London sometime this summer?

The questions were hypothetical. If the hypothesis were to be tested, it would be in September.

It’d be excellent to see you, Youn - goodness knows how long it’s been. I might even be tempted out of the ale house and into some park.

I'm just gonna ask, since I can't puzzle it out: what does FAP stand for?

Fancy a pint

Ah, thanks. Given the context, I figured "pint" was in there.

FAC in the Park

The other problem with parks is you have to sit on the ground.

xpost - that's where I gather all the old action happened ...

I still remember the glasses and the half pint glasses.

cup?

wear jeans or white trousers worthy of grass stains?

The other problem with parks is you have to sit on the _ground._

big bag of cans blanket 😑😑😑

I'm a frequent FACker in the park during the summer, which is fine as long as I don't bump into Duncan the LOUD window-cleaner or the mentally ill guy who keeps giving me updates on his legal situation after throwing someone's phone into the road during a heated argument about dog shit.

tbf this is the main topic on ILB also (the dogshit is some book i will never read)
