FAP London

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

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

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

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!

did this happen?

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...

I do like a nautical theme. Bit of a hike from where I am though.

It's not too far on the tube - getting people to head over to Kensington may be tricky but somewhere nearer the Circle Line might be better for you?

I have no idea? I'm right next to the Gloucester Road tube. Whatever's a good trade between being easy to get to and awesome.

kevin prince boatting sounds fun.

so The Ship? Thursday? Friday?

Also do pubs shut at 11pm? What's the deal with that?

any tories going?

Oi, you're the one that wants to stop talking about politics and talk about football instead

well on ilx yeah sure, but if there's a chance of an actual irl fistfight i'm interested

is anyone going?

Date? Time?

tonight?

8ish?

when's best for others?

Sounds fine to me

I promised myself a night in, but this is so close to my home I shall try and make it out later (depending on progress of room tidying!!) will y'all be there all night 8pm-11pm??

I have a white adidas bag and/or a David Toop book for ID purposes.

damn damn damn my first date in 4 months and it had to be tonight

not taking date to a FAP fwiw

fancy a poppage

hi these are my internet friends. FAP?

Well this was a roaring success, Willing Travelbury and, uh, me. Anyway he is here till Wednesday, if anybody else wants to FAP with him, a fine fellow he is too. Also he'll be at Faust gig on Sunday and Boat Ting on Monday... get it together ILXors!

*had a good excuse*

how'd the excuse go
