FAP London

Congrats S-, you are 1x more popular than Tuomas

Geeze I thought I was bad at FAPs. You should all be hanging out with Sash! He is awesome!

Yes, 'tis a sorry state of affairs when a Trayce FAP garners more members.

Hey now!

Hey now, don't dream it's over...

So the dear Glasshouse Stores is officially Freaky Trigger's #1 pub of the 00s, entirely due to its FAP reputation. Great days.

I've never been in it

oh look, the thread has been bumped! of course, there's no chance of a FAP, oh no. we simply don't do that anymore!

We do, you just don't show up. I've been at the last two: 2 people at the first; 4 at the second.

... you did have a good excuse for the 1st one tho

The '4 at the second' was the ILB fap wasn't it? It doesn't have many Londoners on it (although it wasn't restricted to ILB-ers).

Yeah, that wasn't really an ILX FAP, but it was mentioned on here

I think I was doing something for that one as well, but I will do my best to make an official London FAP that a few people promise to come to!

Hey there were 5 ppl at the ilb fap. Or 4.5 given that stevie came late. Call it 4.6 with pinefox nearly showing up.

Never been in Glasshouse Stores oddly, but not a real fan of Soho drinking I suppose. (southwark 4 eva).

I am in the GHS fairly regularly cos I work round the corner (although I am more often found in the Glassblower because it's nearer my office).

Ugh, the Glassblower. I used to work round there and spent far more time in that pub that I would have liked.

It beats the hell out of the Warwick (which is unfortunately where most of my co-workers prefer to go)

Yeah the Warwick is horrific. As are most of the pubs just off Regent Street really.

I'd like to have another London FAP at some point and meet you all again in person. The last one was great fun but it was coming up to almost a year ago. I'm not that familiar with drinking establishments in the area though.

Anyone interested?

I'd come down if the day suited.

Thinking of possibly going to Big Sexy Land at the Lex on Sunday night. Anyone up for it?

Spam? Maybe. ILX-related? Definitely.
Just a wee shout about the gig my band and (by some coincidence) emil.y's band are playing at the Windmill in Brixton on Halloween Friday at the Windmill. It's about a fiver to get in I think, and we (Disco Zhivago) are on first because we've never played London before and no one's heard of us, while Slum of Legs are a bit higher up the bill. Would be fab to see a few Ilxors about if you're not doing other things. Other bands include Cosines and The Drink.

FB event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/854756597876534/

will probably give that a miss for boring old man reasons, but good luck w/ that, the pair of you

Halloween Friday? Whenzat? I might come to this, dl.

... oh, you mean Halloween... not, uh, the Friday before, uh, Halloween, listen it's been a long day.

Is this a thread for London FAPs?

It is

no it's a thread for FAP London

mysterious

FAP Dewsbury tomorrow, we meet at The Timepiece.

it will be me, David Peace's dad and some guy with some m-cat.

when are you around S-? KBP and QGP will be in that LDN on the 31st.

if i could just rewind this thing, how did this all go off anyway?

It didn't really turn into a FAP, I did spend a couple of hours chatting to Fizzles but DL & emily. both looked busy with their respective bands/entourages so we left them to it. It was a fun evening though.

yeah, was gonna say, very enjoyable evening getting drunk monitoring alcohol intake with Colonel Poo, and enjoyed the bands but it didn't really go full FAP.

Well I would be interested in any FAPs not before the 7th of February.

So do ppl still do this? Early January beat the post holiday blues FAP?

I would be interested in this plan.

ILB FAPs, no-one else seems to anymore.

Yes at ILB a few of us gather around once a season.

Around on the 1st or 2nd that week - and possibly for a bit of the weekend.

I could be down for this - will be almost exactly a year after I had beers with a bunch of ilxors in New York!

Aw, yay. Let’s make it happen then! :) Maybe the 3rd, 4th or 5th?

dublin is a short hop ye lazy sods

Right so clearly you should come then!

better pubs here

and a better % of excellent posters yeah i said it

Lol. So, you flew here for what was basically lunch a couple weeks ago but wouldn’t to enjoy our delightful company? I see how it is.

I trust ilx to know which is the good pub in London

i do like nice snug pub snub grub

Bump because I’m hellbent on making this happen. Where is central - Soho-ish?

*bumping this up* Blue posts maybe - haven't been there in years?

I will try to make it along also.

Good job xyzzz on suggesting "The" Blue Posts, famous for being a pub name that occurs several times within a too-close area, introducing old-days style FD. Which Blue Posts did you have in mind? (I basically never drink in the West End any more, FWIW, so I've pretty much lost touch with where might be OK.)
