FAP London

am glad that this did not happen btw, we had a pretty vicious family scene that ended up with one dj cousin losing job and two fairly badly scratched faces. no arrests tho so result!

and it was east dulwich, not leytonstone as i did not rc

East Dulwich! That's where I live! I live in East Dulwich! Yayy!

hoooooooff

i believe east dulwich. train stops there, right?

boring, boring darragh

It has an overland station, yeah. And a lot of buggy-wielding posh muvvers

Only place I've ever been mugged, the mean streets of east dulwich.

Crazy shit goes down outside Jojo Maman Bebe.

also live in east dulwich. what could have been, darragh....

yeah as i've said it was a scene i'm actually glad everyone but my brother and best friend avoided tbh.

Which pub was it, just out of interest?

the vale

yeah, not east dulwich's finest watering hole by about, umm, all of them. although does have the world's creepiest children's play area out the back.

yes, onlookers were filling me in on the reputation while the participants were tiring themselves out.

Haha. I've had some good partisan screaming in the Vale over the years. I watched Spurs 4-4 Villa there. A man started dancing in front of me and screaming when Younes scored.

Then I went home and smashed the kitchen bin with a sledgehammer.

That's what happens when you set foot in the Vale.

logged out of ilx and went to bed at half time iirc. though i did once throw a guitar across the room and into the fire in protest at gary doherty.

yeah i'll not be rushing back to the vale tbh. for all i know i'm barred by association anyway

I left the East Dulwich Tavern at half time of Utd-Arsenal last week because I couldn't hack all the melodramatic Gooners and cockney Reds massively overemphasising their masculine commitment to football, it was like watching people auditioning for a scene in a slightly point-missing film or some shit

I left cos they ran out of roasts

Oh I think I saw you were you an eight foot tall screaming guy in an Arshavin shirt

Yup, that's the East Dulwich Tavern for you. Always a bit baffled by it: if you're so committed to the team, umm, why aren't you actually at the match? Wearing a replica shirt to watch a game in a pub is also unacceptable.

^ yes on replica shirt

I'm not convinced there are actually any good pubs in East Dulwich. The Palmerstone is good if you fancy some wood pigeon for dinner but I'm not sure I'd just pop in for a pint. The EDT is a hellhole.

Inside 72 had draught Lowenbrau and cute girls but it was the size of a shoebox and then it closed; it is now some kind of tribute to the people of Clapham

approximately, but with more girls and taxi drivers.

Would anyone be interested in doing one, perhaps on or around the thirteenth of May?

I would, but I'll be in LA then.

ILX London is getting very, very bad at this

What you mean, like fuckers not showing up when they're supposed to?

you accusin'

J'accuse the lot o' yers, apart from Matt

my FAP record is better than most

I deny all accusations.

in fairness i said i wasn't going to show before i didn't show.

This is why you are all so bad at this.

Would anyone be interested in doing one, perhaps on or around the thirteenth of May?

Why not. Which bit of London are you likely to be in or around?

I am staying in Kensington.

Any day but 12-14th...that's bang in the middle of my exams.

I'm there 12-19th. So far on the calendar is Faust on the 16th and playing on a boat on the 17th.

we need to do an East London Overground Line FAP - those trains are mad roomy

If boozing's involved, count me in

ok, is it boat-ting on the 17th?

it is

good stuff! I go once a month now the Klinker is gone, so I might be there then.

If we're leaning to the west side of central London I suggest The Ship in Fitzrovia.

Amazed I've never seen you at boat-ting, xyzzzz__ - we must just be overlapping/missing each other (I'm a fairly irregular attendee, but have been irregularly attending for a while).

I think the Klinker is only taking a year's sabbatical, you'll be pleased/horrified to know.

lol, that was regular meet-up pub of non-ILX internet pals of mine for years, fapped there a few times when I was over. (nb the beers are not especially ace Sash, but everyone just drinks on the street in order to smoke so you'll be good.)

Yeah that's strange, must try and synchronize. Though I should say its been once a month so far this this year (once in Feb, Mar and Apr). Before that I used to go to the Klinker, mostly.

Its good news about the Klinker but I'm not too confident that it will return...
