london fancy a kick about again FAKA?

And after work football. Regents Park?

Tuesdays or Thursdays tend to be good, but I couldn't be there much before 6.30.

I'll express a slight preference for Sunday the 2nd, since getting down to London is pretty tricky for me what with studyin' and stuff, and there's already FAGOT on the first (and, like, how tiring can tennis really be?). But I'm happy with anything other than a Wednesday or a Thursday.

so far there are 3 (4 if gregory can make it)...

btw i'm on jury service next week so there's a very slight chance that i'm in a high profile murder case and thus be seperated from the rest of the world, but i doubt it.

a note on the diary then (i wonder if stevem is still updating the calendar?!)

6:30 Tuesday 22 Apr - Regents Park.
Meet outside regent's park station? and then we can make our way in and find the nearest flat patch? I'll bring a ball.

my number is 07967 755446 if you're late etc. so far

5.darren
6.kenneth
7.gregory?

and of course bring other people you know who want to play but don't know about this already.

i meant tuesday 27th yes!

i'm dumb - i was looking at my windows NT calendar and 22nd was highlighted and i typed it. contrary to my believe windows NT does not read minds and therefore it highlights today's date rather than the date i was thinking off. arrrgh :(

But but, I'll see y'all for tennis! Meh.

cool. i predict at least one 'he is what is known in some schools as a fucking lazy, thick Nipper' joke. 8)

Might come for keepin only.

those who are coming see you all at 6:30! if late call me (number is a few posts above) or look for us at the nearest flat patch of grass from regent's park stn.

after playing tennis on saturday, swimming on sunday and 10-pin bowling + passing the 190bpm "paranoia rebirth" song on the hardest level of DDR earlier, I'm gonna be either extremely fit or really knackered. we'll see!

I can't play this evening cos the Guv'nor is showing me round 'is manor and it would be seriously disrespectful not to take 'im up on 'is kind offer. Comprendez?

(Also I have a steenkin' cold).

To our surprise, at the park, there was still these folks, who were STILL PLAYING FOOTBALL!! "Local hardcores" as described by canada briggs, so we challenged them to a game and they accepted and we played in the stormy pitch (thank god for their flourescent ball).

With the rain cascading down on us, it was no place for fancy trickery. The other team tried it but their advances were quenched by a few sliding tackles. Our route one, ball over the top tactics worked a treat and WE THRASHED THEM! Final score was 17-9.

eyeballkicks' forehead was full of mud after all the headers. he may have scored one with his eye (eyeball kicked!)

so much fun - same again next tuesday? (hopefully sans rain?)

Congrats to the hardcore ILE champs but doing anything in pouring rain that doesn't involve getting out of the rain as soon as possible = mentalism.

There are plans afoot to meet at the North London Tavern around 8ish, for indie sportsfolk with an interest in seeing Camera Obscura at the Luminaire later on.

If instead we fancy badminton: i called the sobell centre and they said they have loads of slots for sunday. (i asked about 2:30 just as an example and that's free). So if you fancy that then it should be quite easy to book that instead - and if the north london line is running we can get to kilburn pretty quickly using that! (from camden road station 10 mins busride away)

Court 1B Sunday 17:30 for one hour. See you there

But it was great fun - the game between me and Daniel was pretty epic (I felt like I'd been playing for days rather than 45 minutes, unlike my sprightly opponent), but not as epic as Darren and Ken's to-the-wire finale. Definitely want to do it again soon - 6 people on two courts would be ace cos then there'd be the opportunity to rest between games :)

Anyone interested in joining my weekly game on Mondays in Regents Park? We usually manage to cobble together about 7 or 8 uncordinated reprobates which is not quite enough to make a decent game so we typically join forces with any other shorthanded game - a highly unsatisfactory arrangement because they likely as not turn out to be a bunch of cocks.

if we could get a couple more together regulars I reckon we could manage a really decent game.

i would like to but unfortunately already playing another regular monday one in south tottenham! :\ (plus i currently recovering broken foot)

What time do you start, Nick? And are you really all malcos or are any of you actually quite good (NB the latter would be a bad thing)?

we tend to start around 7 - or whenever i turn up.

there are some decent players amongst us (i am probably one of the least capable but what i lack in skill i more than make up for in mouthiness) but no ronaldos and no-one takes it too seriously, which is why last night was so frustrating.

Didn't realise the extnet of your injury, Ken.

As for your game, Upt0eleven, I play with Ken (I say!) in South Tottenham on a Monday already. Which gives me an idea - perhaps we could have a showdown between your Monday people and ours later in the week...!

^^^ This is a mighty fine idea. Won't take much to persuade my boyz and I imagine the extra exercise won't hurt. Unless i break my foot. Which I almost certainly will.

Great! I'm sure there won't be too much arm-twisting required on our side either.

Regents Park? Wednesdays?

Sounds good to me. Seeing some tonight for a gig - will report back.

I'm backing myself in an ILX kickabout. Make it happen, everyone.

some interests on ILF
I SCORED A GOAL FFS

how about it, london ILX?

there is FAKA in regent's park on the coming Monday after work, if anyone's interested let me know?
