There may be a huge schedule conflict as an OG ILXOR is leaving his job after 20+ years and that’s the night of the leaving do.

Yes, I am leaving my work after 21 years on the 2nd August. Leaving drinks in SOAS Bar (last official night I am a licensee there) - I'd happily extend the invite to FAPpers - though I'd understand it if would feel weird.

Ah darn it. Between working from home that day and a 7:30am train Saturday I don’t think I can make it.

So it's FAP 2nd August?
It's been so long, I wouldn't mind making it Glasshouse Stores for old times' sake.

double FAP and no backsies*
*where backsies = traipsing from one venue to another

I might suggest doing this in Bloomsbury instead of Soho - close enough for Mr and Mrs Deems but also helpful for people who want to attend both events.
The pubs will be less mental as well, especially out of term time.

the revenges of alcohol are fierce and sometimes unassuageable.
bloomsbury a good idea. never quite sure about pubs round there. the lamb's more holborn-ish I guess.
― Fizzles, Saturday, 13 July 2019 12:21 (four years ago) link
i half-remember the plough is cancelled for acting the arsehole to some disabled ppl drinking there a couple months ago?
― mark s, Saturday, 13 July 2019 12:27 (four years ago) link
yes, a woman with MS.
― Fizzles, Saturday, 13 July 2019 12:30 (four years ago) link
The Lamb has an upstairs now which (as long as it isn't booked out) makes it a lot more FAP friendly.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 13 July 2019 12:30 (four years ago) link
friday evening tho, what are the odds. and you’re right it’s pretty cramped for that sort of thing otherwise (tho i like it)
― Fizzles, Saturday, 13 July 2019 12:32 (four years ago) link
Excellent. Flying out the day after for a long weekend in Berlin so this is perfect timing.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 13 July 2019 13:36 (four years ago) link
let me know what ye decide and happy to take the consensus as lead

We decided to hold it in east anglia in the pub round the corner from my flat

It's not a going-away party, it'll be fine.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 20 July 2019 09:38 (four years ago) link
Ok someone has to know this area better than I do. Suggestions?

Opening gambit - The College Arms on Store Street, just off Tottenham Court Road. This has serviced a reasonable-sized gathering pretty well in the past although I can't remember if booking ahead was required.
― Matt DC, Monday, 29 July 2019 12:52 (four years ago) link
Plax!! :)

How about Fitzroy Tavern, other side of TCR?
― the pinefox, Monday, 29 July 2019 13:40 (four years ago) link
In my experience the Fitzroy is always unpleasantly busy on a Friday.
― Matt DC, Monday, 29 July 2019 13:58 (four years ago) link
College Arms is fine imo. Wouldn't go near Charlotte Street - wot Matt DC said.
― Fizzles, Monday, 29 July 2019 18:47 (four years ago) link
bring back that glasshouse stores beat imo. they've even got the bar billiards working again
― imago, Monday, 29 July 2019 18:49 (four years ago) link
So college arms then?
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Tuesday, 30 July 2019 09:44 (four years ago) link

― imago, Tuesday, 30 July 2019 09:45 (four years ago) link

I'll no doubt be out for payday drinks w/ workmates beforehand so may be mildly pished when I get there.
― Arthur Lowe & Love (Tom D.), Tuesday, 30 July 2019 09:59 (four years ago) link
We’ll allow that.
