London ILB - FAP?

Sure!

Sounds good - I could do the 8thas it stands.

Grand, let's go for the 8th.

Next Thursday.

👍🏽

Yeah can do!

Will try to make it.

Come down with the 'rona, trust me to get it when no-one cares about it anymore, so I'm out. Unfortunately.

Sorry to hear that Tom, hope you’re not feeling too bad / feel better soon.

I’m on about a 60% chance of making it at present, depending on a bunch of stuff. Hope I can. If I do it’ll likely be earlyish and not for terribly long.

Tom - get well soon.

Here’s a link to our latest “books to be got rid of” pile, in case anyone fancies any of them: https://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?tag=giveaway&view=jennpb

Henry Green plz, thanks!

Feckin' COVID.

Planning to be there by 6.

wait is this the usual venue?

Yes, tabard street.

Come and join us for books discussion and to celebrate this.

NEW UPDATE ON QUEEN:
“Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”

at (both deep below and towering above) Balmoral

At the Lord Clyde now btw, should anyone come along.

Christ I’m sorry for not shutting up, I’ll do better next time, lovely to see you all.

luckily we were there to learn about rock and learn we did

Glad to share the sad moments with you all 💞

😭 <-- xyzzzz__ all evening

So Tim H not only turned up, but stayed a long time, and talked a lot, about rock music?

I'm sorry I missed this.

Come to the next one

How about mid-November for the next one?

Anyone up for winter FAP?

Thinking 23rd Feb onwards.

Not too far forwards though.

yeah I'm in

Yeah second half of Feb suits me better

Cool 23rd it is, will check in closer to the time.

I’ll make it if I can.

ah fuck just noticed 23rd clashes with my book club :/

I'm going to Barcelona the next day so can't get too smashed.

Not too smashed… just smashed enough.

We could change it to March 2nd if it's easier for everyone

I wouldn't be able to come to anything after Feb 23 and before late March, but don't let that stop you because I can't be certain I'll be around on the 23rd either.

I’ll try and make this one, be lovely to meet you all finally. Late Feb is usually just out of the zone of whatever plague I seem to get at the start of every year.

I could do March 2nd

Great. Chuck, can you make it then?

Tim, we will make sure you can make it to Spring FAP till last orders 🙂

I just postponed my contuining my MA until October so lotsa free time!

Excellent. Let's go for the 2nd March.

Is this going ahead? Unusually I can make it, and this week also marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Gravity's Rainbow so feel the need to mark the occasion with a banana daiquiri or two.

Yes it's going ahead on Thursday (was going to revive the day before).

time to turn up in a pig suit

Always a next time.
