London ILB - FAP?

Don’t think I have a free Thursday in August, which is sad because I want to talk to someone about Robert Walser

We can do another day (radical, I know..) How is Wednesday?

i will probably be in london at some point in august, i will keep an eye on this thread

Excellent!

Spending August back in the motherland, hopefully I'll see you guys for the fall FAP.

very short notice but the block BBQ i was planning to attend in hackney 2moro has been postponed and i will be around 2moro or sun if anyone fancies a pint

About on Sunday from about 3, if that suits. Are you traveling back Sunday?

no, monday -- will let u know when i know where i will be and who i'm meeting

👍

so the plan is to be at the royal oak at 3-ish on sunday: all ILBows welcome, you will know ppl from london meet-ups of yore!

Good to meet up.

ILB FAP, could do last two weeks of Aug or early Sept. Wednesday or Thursday?

It is early September. Anyone around?

Yeah, gonna be gone this weekend but that aside I'm around.

Not this week or next, week after?

20th/21st ok then?

Can't do the 20th.

21st sounds like it could be good then

I'm around and don't start a new job till the 26th so would be nice to join.

I have Covid Part Deux right now but hopefullt be non-catchy after the 11th

Great you can make it Chuck

I’ll try for the 21st also.

Yeah I’m good with that

Jolly good, hope to see you all then.

This Thursday - hope you can all make it.

Hopefully. I can't really drink much at the moment though.

Be good to see you, Tom.

When's everyone arriving? Is it still the Royal Oak?

Around 6pm for me. And yes, Royal Oak.

Same, maybe a few minutes earlier if I'm lucky

Can’t come today (work) but have fun guys and next time? Don’t leave it so long till the next one

I’m a 15 minute walk away and unwilling to brave this weather - if it lets up I’ll be along in a bit

Cool, we're here

have a nice time everyone! missing you!

Anyone there? I’m just at London Bridge after seeing a friend & will drop by if it’s on

Ah we have finished. Shame to miss you woof!

Ah shame. I’ll make do train g&t and asking strangers on the Orpington line for their Vernon Lee opinions.

Thank you all. We ended early, very civilised.

Let's try for early November.

Hello - so yesterday I thought I’d go for a therapeutic post-Covid walk on Hampstead Heath before going to the pub - then got completely drenched and had to go home to get dry instead. But November will work!

Ps. Thanks xyzzzz, I used your Bluesky code from the other thread

Good stuff, hope to see you in a few weeks.

"Civilised" says the man who threw a beer at me for suggesting Irish restaurants exist.

🤔

🤣

There is more than one Royal Oak in London. I am curious where you all gather.

Hypothetically, would any potential lurkers on this thread fancy a (half) pint (as a name for an occasion based on a loosely interpreted measure of any EA(N)AB) in any of the boroughs of NYC?

It's the one in Borough.

A few of us (ilx slack, most post on here already) are having drinks tomorrow at the Queen's head (King's Cross) so if anyone in here would like to drop by then they are welcome. Should be around from 6pm or so

There will hopefully be a FAP in December if there is appetite for that, maybe first or second week..

I’m away tomorrow but hope to make December

Any interest in doing this in May.

I can't do the back end of the 2nd week but otherwise all good.

Will be in Japan for most of May, so will have to miss this one...

I’m canceling so the first or last weeks of May but am about otherwise. It’d be good to catch up.

good call. May is a bit of a calm period between some dense commitments.
