Don’t think I have a free Thursday in August, which is sad because I want to talk to someone about Robert Walser
― Tim, Friday, 7 July 2023 09:37 (ten months ago) link

I’m a 15 minute walk away and unwilling to brave this weather - if it lets up I’ll be along in a bit
― Tim, Thursday, 21 September 2023 17:23 (eight months ago) link

Thank you all. We ended early, very civilised.
Let's try for early November.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 22 September 2023 08:19 (eight months ago) link
Hello - so yesterday I thought I’d go for a therapeutic post-Covid walk on Hampstead Heath before going to the pub - then got completely drenched and had to go home to get dry instead. But November will work!
Ps. Thanks xyzzzz, I used your Bluesky code from the other thread
― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 22 September 2023 08:38 (eight months ago) link
Good stuff, hope to see you in a few weeks.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 22 September 2023 08:49 (eight months ago) link
"Civilised" says the man who threw a beer at me for suggesting Irish restaurants exist.
― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 22 September 2023 09:37 (eight months ago) link
🤔
― ydkb (gyac), Friday, 22 September 2023 10:00 (eight months ago) link

There is more than one Royal Oak in London. I am curious where you all gather.
Hypothetically, would any potential lurkers on this thread fancy a (half) pint (as a name for an occasion based on a loosely interpreted measure of any EA(N)AB) in any of the boroughs of NYC?
― youn, Friday, 22 September 2023 12:28 (eight months ago) link
It's the one in Borough.
