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

Oh fuck, totally forgot about this. I’m away till Friday.

Always a next time.

I double-booked myself so won't be able to attend either :(

I will see whoever turns up at around 5.30/6 at the Royal Oak on Tabard St. :-)

think i might pop by 😃

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.)

Was this deliberately scheduled for world book day?

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.

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)

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.

it's by chairman mao

but it's big

That's right

JULIO

🤣

Unfortunately not a good week for me but next time.

I'm afraid a work deadline has intervened so I can't make it after all.

There will always be Spring.

Thanks to all who came in the end: Fizzles, woof, mark s.

Sorry! I missed this thread revive. Will do better next time again (again).

No problem. Everybody welcome.

When’s the next one, it’s been forever since I went

Not thought about it but it's usually once a season so looking at May sometime.

FAP to celebrate the coronation of the King of England in May?

Can do any Thursday though I'd like to avoid 11th.

I think I’m in Ireland that week, but yeah others currently ok

👍

Sounds good, haven't been to one in a while. Same for the coronation.

I think I'm around for each Thursday except the 11th also, usual availability caveats apply.
