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.

Anyone up for winter FAP?
Thinking 23rd Feb onwards.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 16 January 2023 09:38 (one year ago) link
Not too far forwards though.

yeah I'm in
― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 16 January 2023 11:28 (one year ago) link
Yeah second half of Feb suits me better
― bit high, bitch (gyac), Monday, 16 January 2023 11:30 (one year ago) link
Cool 23rd it is, will check in closer to the time.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 16 January 2023 17:06 (one year ago) link
I’ll make it if I can.
― Tim, Monday, 16 January 2023 17:19 (one year ago) link
ah fuck just noticed 23rd clashes with my book club :/
― Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 10:50 (one year ago) link
I'm going to Barcelona the next day so can't get too smashed.
― A Drunk Man Looks At Partick Thistle (Tom D.), Tuesday, 17 January 2023 10:58 (one year ago) link
Not too smashed… just smashed enough.
― Tim, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 11:35 (one year ago) link
We could change it to March 2nd if it's easier for everyone
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 11:46 (one year ago) link
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.
― Tim, Tuesday, 17 January 2023 11:50 (one year ago) link
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.
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 18 January 2023 09:56 (one year ago) link
I could do March 2nd
― Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 18 January 2023 10:38 (one year ago) link
Great. Chuck, can you make it then?
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 18 January 2023 10:40 (one year ago) link
Tim, we will make sure you can make it to Spring FAP till last orders 🙂
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 18 January 2023 10:42 (one year ago) link
I just postponed my contuining my MA until October so lotsa free time!
― Chuck_Tatum, Wednesday, 18 January 2023 12:52 (one year ago) link
Excellent. Let's go for the 2nd March.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 18 January 2023 12:58 (one year ago) link
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.
― Piedie Gimbel, Monday, 27 February 2023 13:54 (one year ago) link
Yes it's going ahead on Thursday (was going to revive the day before).
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 27 February 2023 14:00 (one year ago) link

Oh fuck, totally forgot about this. I’m away till Friday.
― giant bat fucker (gyac), Monday, 27 February 2023 14:08 (one year ago) link
Always a next time.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 27 February 2023 14:31 (one year ago) link
I double-booked myself so won't be able to attend either :(
― Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 1 March 2023 10:20 (one year ago) link
I will see whoever turns up at around 5.30/6 at the Royal Oak on Tabard St. :-)
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 March 2023 10:59 (one year ago) link
think i might pop by 😃
― mark s, Thursday, 2 March 2023 15:45 (one year ago) link
I can't make it to a FAP tonight till after 9:30. Would anyone still be around at that time?
(Assume this is Royal Oak.)
― the pinefox, Thursday, 2 March 2023 15:46 (one year ago) link
Was this deliberately scheduled for world book day?
― piedro àlamodevar (wins), Thursday, 2 March 2023 15:48 (one year ago) link
I might drop in. I've taken a couple of years off from reading books, but I'm thinking of getting back into it. They were pretty cool, some good stuff in books.
― woof, Thursday, 2 March 2023 15:48 (one year ago) link
Be great to see you woof, and all!
See as many of you later. (I am intending to be around past 930, but don't know)
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 2 March 2023 15:52 (one year ago) link
This was not scheduled for World book day no, lol (haven't seen anything about it).
Chuck - if you attend I will have a red coloured book on the table.

Unfortunately not a good week for me but next time.
― Maggot Bairn (Tom D.), Thursday, 2 March 2023 18:30 (one year ago) link
I'm afraid a work deadline has intervened so I can't make it after all.
― Piedie Gimbel, Thursday, 2 March 2023 19:02 (one year ago) link
There will always be Spring.
Thanks to all who came in the end: Fizzles, woof, mark s.
