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

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

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

This is why you are all so bad at this.
Why not. Which bit of London are you likely to be in or around?

I am staying in Kensington.

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

ok, is it boat-ting on the 17th?
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 29 April 2010 14:36 (fourteen years ago) link
it is
― Willing Travelbury (S-), Thursday, 29 April 2010 14:39 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 29 April 2010 14:51 (fourteen years ago) link
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?
― Matt DC, Friday, 30 April 2010 12:28 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
