Also O'Neills isn't your preferred pub?

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
― michael keaton IS jim thirlwell IN ‘foetaljuice’ (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 3 May 2019 11:03 (four years ago) link
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
― stet, Friday, 3 May 2019 13:41 (four years ago) link
Which fancy ass FAPs of yore do you mean?
― Tim, Friday, 3 May 2019 14:44 (four years ago) link
the one with dj martian

worst friends episode
― deemsthelarker (darraghmac), Friday, 3 May 2019 15:32 (four years ago) link
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.
― Tim, Friday, 3 May 2019 15:44 (four years ago) link
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.
― Tim, Friday, 3 May 2019 15:45 (four years ago) link
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
― stet, Friday, 3 May 2019 16:37 (four years ago) link
"Park"?
If you got yourself involved in some drinking outside business that would be none of my concern and certainly outwith the remit of this thread.
― Tim, Friday, 3 May 2019 16:46 (four years ago) link
What’s this mono place and does it serve beer
― El Tomboto, Sunday, 5 May 2019 02:22 (four years ago) link
It's a record shop in Scotland. So, yes.

For old time challops sake I’m going to suggest the heartbreak bar on the corner of Lonsdale and Russel.

How about where we met in Jan? That was pretty central and works for TB from my brief exchange with him.

BPNS fine by me.

this will be fine for me but tombot forbade deciding it in the thread them's the (extremely strange and unfamiliar) rules

I have relayed the location to our guest. All systems go.
Everyone here clear on where we meet tomorrow? I will be there by 6:30 at the latest.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 8 May 2019 09:07 (four years ago) link
Two yellow chalk marks on the lintel means it is safe to proceed.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Wednesday, 8 May 2019 09:30 (four years ago) link
So me, mark, Tim, Suzy, xyz - anyone else?! Come out! I will tell the pinefox.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 8 May 2019 10:51 (four years ago) link
I'll be there!
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 8 May 2019 10:54 (four years ago) link
Yay!!
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 8 May 2019 10:57 (four years ago) link
I'll be there too! It's been a while...

Have fun guys. Didn't realise this was happening till just now but I doubt I'll make it from Bristol sadly.
― frame casual (dog latin), Thursday, 9 May 2019 09:41 (four years ago) link
That's a shame, DL - which reminds me, I really want to make it down to Brizzle again soon.
― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 9 May 2019 09:42 (four years ago) link
Yes! It's been appx one year since we last caught up. Any other Ilxors fancy a trip to the West, I have a lovely blow-up bed in my living room to crash and I know the best place for pie and chips.
― frame casual (dog latin), Thursday, 9 May 2019 09:48 (four years ago) link
Time to start another thread, DL!
― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 9 May 2019 10:34 (four years ago) link
Should be there around 6:30 or a bit before that.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 9 May 2019 10:37 (four years ago) link
Me too!
― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 9 May 2019 10:44 (four years ago) link
I'm going to grab something to eat first (IIRC the food at Sam Smiths places is either not-good or just crisps) so I'll likely be there around the same time.
― Tim, Thursday, 9 May 2019 10:45 (four years ago) link
Things that are good at Sam Smith’s pubs - architecture
Things that are not good at Sam Smith’s pubs - beer, food
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Thursday, 9 May 2019 10:50 (four years ago) link
Unexpected nostalgia-suffused benefit of this venue: Ed complaining about Sam Smiths, even from halfway round the world. Sad you couldn't fit in an old socks reference, Ed.
― Tim, Thursday, 9 May 2019 13:57 (four years ago) link
I’m here early
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 9 May 2019 17:04 (four years ago) link
Me too! I am sitting at the dual level table in view of the door. Am earing a green jumper and grey jeans.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 9 May 2019 17:09 (four years ago) link
Read that as 'eating' - worse ways to stand out at a FAP, I suppose.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 9 May 2019 17:46 (four years ago) link
We’re at the front by the door, for those joining

So great to see everyone again! Fueled in my case by Sam Smiths Extra Stout -- which is excellent, and any antipodean opinions on the topic are henceforth declared redundant -- a lot of ground was covered, including self-publishing, printing sets, neighbours, freelancing, typesetting, typefaces, journals, journalism, prog rock, Factory Records, podcasts, weddings, Bill Heine his shark and his cinemas, gullible housemates, Boston, Washington, Hackney, the military, the Tower of London, fishmongers, absent friends, internet factions, past FAPs, ILX history, football clubs and their ownership, cider (with or without sherry)...and...pause for breath, they were just the things I remember / heard.
Is there a name for the table on a table thing in the Blue Posts? You know, the little round table that's on a round table? Tiered table, if you will.
But anyway, where was Lou15 Jagg3r?
