FAP London

Wait really??

Yep!

great!

me too

I am currently an 18 minute walk from the alehouse and I'll be setting off in a few minutes.

At the inn now, couldn't spot anyone so getting a drink and standing outside

Omfg I am waiting for a call from the GP who was supposed to call between 2-6 and still hasn’t but I can’t get on the tube until they do. Apparently I’m 3rd to be called. Then I will be on my way from south Kensington. Ugh.

I have arrived and did not see a blue man, so am inside waiting to get near the bar. How do you people live with this shit tbh

Me and fizzles there in 5

Ah, bunch of us on your left once you get that drink

Still at work in Z4 W London. :/

To the left of the bar or coming out of the bar? I am a short guy with long curly hair and glasses, sweating and confused, holler if you see me

x-post

And you're the designated photographer! (I was hoping for photos)

To the left of the bar

wins i can see u stay where u are

Omg so many ppl

I think we're sorted out now, but I look a bit like Jordan Rudess in a bad wig, if that helps.

I might follow imago over later if my lesson finishes on time... I wonder if wins will still be frozen by the bar.

wins is back at the bar, good luck wins

Some of these people are still there.

nah we left. we kidnapped wins tho

I was gonna stop by at 11.30 to see if anyone was still around! But there were complications :( hopefully next time

I left kinda abruptly but it was good that I did, my train literally pulled up as I arrived at the platform! Was good to see everyone

deep apologies for forgetting yr book daniel, d'oh!

i looked this morning and can't find yr email though :(

lovely to see/meet everyone as ever

This was so much fun! Thanks for organizing ENBB.

xpost mark I'll try sending again

Aw it was, right? So glad everyone came out. Hope you all have lovely long weekends!

What a lovely evening. In true bank holiday reprobate form I missed my train and am now having a curer in a pub in E3 that has a penguin pb on every table, hungoverly attempting to read Sarraute

Sounds like the epicentre of literary signalling/performative reading.

That FAP for UK politics thread:

lol

xp the books are not really for reading I don’t think, but they are a nice touch in an otherwise fairly standard Young’s pub

(The Sarraute is mine and is also not really for reading, I have decided in my wetbrained state)

your attempts to explain Sarraute to me, a layperson, at 9am after a night of drinking, were quite heroic I thought

wait was there also a friday morning FAP

(i am hard at work back at the hawkwindface)

there was a Friday morning Fancy A Stroll

Later in the morning I did fancy a pint tho

re tv actress catherine fuller visiting the east end

there ARE some slopes down towards the lea e.g. from upper clapton road, plus chatsworth road and homerton high street both have quite a gradient at some points (tho not built-up points and the architecture looks wrong plus that narrow pavement still looks very unlondony to me)

also did she really "make friends" wIth a toddler -- I THINK NOT

lol when i GS-ed streets with slopes in london's east end i found THIS:

https://www.eastlondonhistory.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/old-streets-of-london.jpg

from this site -- which has similar cellar-window arches but is not identified by name on the "east london history" website -- plus a subsequent tineye reverse search locates this street in BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS ffs.

in conclusion fuck getty images iirc

mark did u get my mail

no! you must have a wrong address for me

i just sent it to you via internal ilx email

I'll be in town on May 9th.

I'm killfiled by everyone, aren't I.

oh ill be in town with the mrs at beginning of august btw dnfiyhm

I was thinking about this earlier today! Mostly I was thinking "when is Tombot in town, again?"

So, what are we doing then?

Somebody ilxmail me and I’ll share my phone number so we can start a WhatsApp chat or whatever. Would prefer not to do all the planning on thread.

Or just say where and when and I’ll turn up.

that is the day i get my ears syringed!

but not in the pub, on pub-time, so i will be available and possibly agog

omg I want to hear all the details lol

Tombot - msg sent

(xp) Perfect timing.
