FAP London

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.

To the East End truthers at the event: https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/television-actress-catherine-fuller-visits-the-east-end-of-news-photo/3428593

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.

come to dublin instead

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.

I don’t have WhatsApp but count me in.

Would prefer not to do all the planning on thread.

This is disturbingly non-canonical but on balance I (for one) welcome our new whatsapp overlords.

Moscow Rules FAP for arrangements, Chatham House rules for FAP discussion (never quite sure what those are though)

tombot clearly not a fan of the recalcitrant-jobby approach to london fapping either

We should definitely be clear that ILX London has a long and proud history in this area and in no sense were we waiting for ENBB to turn up and sort things out.

Not sure it's wise for a Glasgow ILXor to be dissing the quality and consistency of another town's tapping

x-post hmpf I was quite proud of my new role as social chair ;)

(we were totally waiting for you to turn up and sort things out!)

(HA :) Was kidding obv though)

have you a venue for mine yet

just following up

Listen, I'm a busy lady so cool yr jets. One FAP at a time please.

Also O'Neills isn't your preferred pub?

i know nothing more about it than the name and that its in london and im veering toward no

lol correct direction to veer

(xp) It's in London and every other town in the island of Great Britain.

Not sure it's wise for a Glasgow ILXor to be dissing the quality and consistency of another town's tapping

ssshh i'm working up to suggesting mono as the venue for this fap

Srsly though can we just do it in Mono? Takes about the same time to get there as some of these fancy ass FAPs of yore

Which fancy ass FAPs of yore do you mean?

the one with dj martian

worst friends episode

The one with DJ Martian was in the BPNS so you'd need to have been north of Preston (possibly Carlisle) for Mono to be easier to get to.

If we're not allowed to FD about the location of future FAPS any more I insist on being allowed to FD about the location of past FAPs.

There was one so far north I’ve forgotten the name of the park which I remember taking an absolute age to get home from, but I think the literal concrete journey time is a red herring here what matters is we should go to mono
