I'll no doubt be out for payday drinks w/ workmates beforehand so may be mildly pished when I get there.

We’ll allow that.

i will probably pop to pete's early doors (430ish?) as i am in town and footloose on friday then over to college arms (which is where i had my pub-meet after day one of the conference i ran at birkback so that will be nice) 6ish? and then when deems and y'alls are tired of my bullshit i will creep back to pete's do :)
― mark s, Tuesday, 30 July 2019 10:42 (four years ago) link
we're skewing early. deems or whoever, if you want some company in the 4.30-7.30 slot we'll be around
― imago, Tuesday, 30 July 2019 11:18 (four years ago) link
See you all then
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 30 July 2019 13:14 (four years ago) link
FYI there’s a table for 10 reserved under my name. If you think you’ll get there early and don’t know my name shoot me an email at enbb28 at the g mail and I will inform you. I will be there between 5:30 and 6 but hopefully closer to 5:30.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 31 July 2019 11:34 (four years ago) link
I didn’t know how big a table to request but figured that if there are by more than that at one point some can stand etc
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 31 July 2019 11:36 (four years ago) link
we'll hardly get ten tbh
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Wednesday, 31 July 2019 11:47 (four years ago) link
five people with a pair of socks each maybe wut wut
Oh stop it. There were def 10 ppl at both of the last ones!!

deems can stand

i was expecting him to greet FAP attendees at the door as they arrived? i don’t know what time or state i’ll be in when i get there, but be there i will.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 15:49 (four years ago) link
thats my approx schedule and aim also tbh
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Wednesday, 31 July 2019 16:07 (four years ago) link
Myself and/or SV will come some time...eventually so you might crack ten if that fact doesn’t put off all the regulars.

thats the thing isnt it, its like forming a functioning govt rather than just counting the voters rly
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Wednesday, 31 July 2019 16:13 (four years ago) link
xpost - yay would love to meet you both!
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 31 July 2019 19:22 (four years ago) link
the question of what a functioning ilx government would look like has been preoccupying me for a short while now.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 19:27 (four years ago) link
but agreed a darraghfap is unlikely to deliver it.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 19:28 (four years ago) link
I will be along early doors and probably heading to Petefest after that. Excited about being able to argue about the merits of Juan Foyth in person.

https://www.edvardmunch.org/images/paintings/anxiety.jpgxps to ENBB, yes, same! Hopefully next time 🤞🏻

now confused as to gyac/MR seamus milne attendance
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Wednesday, 31 July 2019 20:46 (four years ago) link
I’m excited! Also FYI today is Roberto S’s birthday and we’re going out this evening. We are old so two nights out is a big deal which is all to say we must really like you guys. Also, you can wish him a HB tomorrow!
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 1 August 2019 13:26 (four years ago) link
Not seen RS post in a while iirc? Hope he's alright! (him being alright might be why he doesn't post as often?) Not at the FAP but HB to him regardless.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 1 August 2019 14:19 (four years ago) link
He’s fine. :)
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 1 August 2019 15:18 (four years ago) link
now skewing earlier, depending on whether it looks more or less feasible to dash to the hotel before lunch.
looking fwd to seeing ye all, unless you are an undeclared lurker
that has to have happened, right? hovering next to faps, casually looking the other way all night?
sneaky fuckers. ill be watching for ye.
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Thursday, 1 August 2019 21:46 (four years ago) link
you won’t see me.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 1 August 2019 21:51 (four years ago) link
I hope to attend the FAP.
If I arrive at the College Arms at, say, 7pm - will I find ilx people like ENBB and Fizzles?
― the pinefox, Friday, 2 August 2019 09:51 (four years ago) link
They'll be under a table somewhere.
― How to Book Michael Fish (Tom D.), Friday, 2 August 2019 09:53 (four years ago) link
What's the food like there?
― Matt DC, Friday, 2 August 2019 10:21 (four years ago) link
I mean in the pub, not under the table per se.
Pinefox - yes! :)
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 2 August 2019 10:44 (four years ago) link
I should be at the pub c. 6pm gazpacho/pesto production willing (am currently having coffee in the tiny café so am about five minutes from getting my skates on).

we'll likely be coming straight from lunch and rooms havent been available, apologies in advance for what will certainly be travelworn state (not herself she will be cool elegance personified)
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Friday, 2 August 2019 11:43 (four years ago) link
I’m still up to my elbows in gazpacho ingredients, trying to get there for 8 (after the bath I’ll need in order not to smell like a tomato processing plant).
