London ILB - FAP?

I've never been in McGlynn's on St Patrick's Day but I've been there on plenty of other occasions!

xp the greatest horseplay of all time

McGlynn’s a classic of course but also never been on St Patrick’s day.

Xyzzzz___ seems to have decided the 24th now?

Are we still on for the 24th?

My assumption though ofc this might now not be good for some.

I'll be in Scotland on the 24th anyway.

i haven't expressed a pref bcz these days i don't really know till the day how tired i will be on the relevant evening (i am old and on beta blockers)

but i wd like to see everyone and all dates are fine with me!

oh *this* is why the 24th has been in my head. it’s the afternoon of our work christmas party, and i kept on thinking “but isn’t there a clash?” and looking at my work and home diary and not finding anything.

read this as "woke christmas party" tbrr

17th is good for me btw. Can we all agree to switch?

Er, I'll be in Paris on the 17th!

Ah ok then :)

they seek him here they seek him there

It’s alright Tom, hint fully taken. ❤️‍🩹

Still good for Thursday? I still am..

I need to test today and tomorrow but would like to come if I’m not contagious! I miss you all!

Having a tooth pulled earlier that day :/

Gl with tooth Daniel, am still positive today so not going to come. Next month hopefully.

I'm unexpectedly out of town this week for family reasons so can't be about, I'm very sorry to say.

I'm also positive today (day 8, LFT line getting thinner finally!) but would like to try next time.

Sounds like a good reason to start planning the April FAP date to me, Chuck.

Ok let's cancel this and go for April sometime. It will be good to meet, Chuck.

April when?

A Thursday where most are about. All of those are good for me.

Out of the country between the 7th and 14th, so after that would be great #noworriesifnot

Up for the 21st or 28th.

out of the country for both of those. i will hold my own book fap. with me. a “by-myself meeting” as ghostface killah says.

Here’s a controversial thought: let’s have it on a different day.

always with the solutions.

How is Thurs 5th May?

Far away! But far away enough I have no plans, so fine for me.

Still on for the 5th?

I can do this

Yeah, I'm in.

Is this still on? Where?

This Thursday at the Royal Oak.

I'm 75% sure I'll make it but won't be there until a little later than usual.

Would be good to see you :)

Which Royal Oak, what time? Probably can't make this Thursday as my partner's working late and I have to do nursery pickup that day. But I'll try if I can!

I'm unlikely to be there, health does not permit.

Sorry to hear this Tom, get well soon

Chuck - Royal Oak in Tabard street, near Borough

Obv no worries we will do another FAP late summer. Do shout about dates that are good for you when it's being organised too.

Tom D - get well soon.

How do you find each other and do you only allow certain people in? Do you have to wear a badge? (These are hypothetical questions.)

I think most of the people who go to ilb faps are the same crowd who know each other? The last one I went to I knew about half the people going so I just showed up and hoped that one of the people I knew would turn up. Then others came and then we all froze to death.

All ilx people allowed (non-ilx allowed too but they might not be able to follow some of the conversation, or even get to it, how would they know of it).

If a new ilx person who has never been to one of these turns up we can have a book on the table.

In or outside btw?
