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).

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).

Ok!!

I was going to come but I got dates mixed up originally and thought Friday was the 3rd, the 2nd is my wife's birthday
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 3 August 2019 11:14 (four years ago) link
I’m generally in for a Herne Hill pint or two also.
― Tim, Saturday, 3 August 2019 11:56 (four years ago) link

― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Saturday, 3 August 2019 14:38 (four years ago) link
Well, let's see if you can follow me around the room. The drunk Russians on the embankment at seven and eight o'clock. The couple waltzing around me at the embassy at nine and eleven. The waiter standing behind ENBB at the top of the stairs. Bow tie, twelve o'clock. The other ILX team. You're worried about me, why?

This was excellent fun, lovely to see/meet everyone.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 3 August 2019 15:07 (four years ago) link
xp alas no as we were busy tearing our hair out in despair over kittens (easier for me). Definitely another time though.
― gyac, Saturday, 3 August 2019 15:18 (four years ago) link

Because you both are he

― Yerac, Sunday, 4 August 2019 03:24 (four years ago) link
Ok so I was confused by Conrad but now that I think I e figured out who that is I am sad you missed the party too.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Sunday, 4 August 2019 14:24 (four years ago) link
Wait I think I am wrong in thinking I knew who it was but will assume I am still sad because I like to think most ppl are ok despite what lived experience has shown me.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Sunday, 4 August 2019 14:26 (four years ago) link
ha
i sent lj an fb message lj do u not check yr fb now or wha

Shit sorry been put playing cricket all day

Good to hear it went well. I am 15 years out of sync and currently enjoying a quick drink at the former mid 2000s FAP venue the Pineapple in Kentish Town. (Looked out for the ghosts of Dr C and A N Other as I went past the Bull and Gate earlier)
― Luna Schlosser, Sunday, 4 August 2019 19:20 (four years ago) link
I went to Berlin the next day so just reviving now to say Herne Hill FAP would be a good idea (to this resident of the area).
I'll revive this late August and see if people are up for that.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 8 August 2019 10:09 (four years ago) link
Autumnal FAP? Where is HH? Could do it there I suppose.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Monday, 23 September 2019 09:01 (four years ago) link
alphie's lair! we'll all wake up the next morning chained to a godard boxset
― imago, Monday, 23 September 2019 09:08 (four years ago) link
Yes even I could make it to Herne Hill.
― the pinefox, Monday, 23 September 2019 09:10 (four years ago) link
There are worse things. Being chained to a Ken Loach boxset, for instance.

― pomenitul, Monday, 23 September 2019 09:10 (four years ago) link
I don't think I've ever visited the People's Republic of Herne Hill tbh.

PRHH has an excellent West Indian take away right by the station, so post-drink fuel needs are v well catered for.
― coup de twat (suzy), Monday, 23 September 2019 09:19 (four years ago) link
Half-moon or Commercial for options. There are a couple more but those are best.
ENBB - HH station is 10 mins by train from Victoria or 15 min walk from Brixton tube. The pubs are by HH station.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 23 September 2019 10:51 (four years ago) link
Man alive, I loved the Commercial in the mid/late 80s, so much so I have trouble drinking in there these days (not so much trouble that I refuse to drink in there, just enough that I go on endlessly about how much I liked it in the old days.
― Tim, Monday, 23 September 2019 11:03 (four years ago) link
When do you all want to do this. I can do mid-next week. More flexible after that
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 25 September 2019 09:07 (four years ago) link
I will do this if possible. ENBB, are you going to bring PWB?
