Hopefully. I can't really drink much at the moment though.
― Monthly Python (Tom D.), Monday, 18 September 2023 09:46 (one year ago) link
Be good to see you, Tom.

When's everyone arriving? Is it still the Royal Oak?
― Daniel_Rf, Thursday, 21 September 2023 09:06 (one year ago) link
Around 6pm for me. And yes, Royal Oak.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 21 September 2023 09:19 (one year ago) link
Same, maybe a few minutes earlier if I'm lucky
― Tim, Thursday, 21 September 2023 09:54 (one year ago) link
Can’t come today (work) but have fun guys and next time? Don’t leave it so long till the next one
― ydkb (gyac), Thursday, 21 September 2023 10:04 (one year ago) link
I’m a 15 minute walk away and unwilling to brave this weather - if it lets up I’ll be along in a bit
― Tim, Thursday, 21 September 2023 17:23 (one year ago) link
Cool, we're here
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 21 September 2023 17:24 (one year ago) link

― mark s, Thursday, 21 September 2023 17:26 (one year ago) link
Anyone there? I’m just at London Bridge after seeing a friend & will drop by if it’s on
― woof, Thursday, 21 September 2023 19:45 (one year ago) link
Ah we have finished. Shame to miss you woof!
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 21 September 2023 19:48 (one year ago) link
Ah shame. I’ll make do train g&t and asking strangers on the Orpington line for their Vernon Lee opinions.
― woof, Thursday, 21 September 2023 19:58 (one year ago) link
Thank you all. We ended early, very civilised.
Let's try for early November.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 22 September 2023 08:19 (eleven months ago) link
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
― Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 22 September 2023 08:38 (eleven months ago) link
Good stuff, hope to see you in a few weeks.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 22 September 2023 08:49 (eleven months ago) link
"Civilised" says the man who threw a beer at me for suggesting Irish restaurants exist.
― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 22 September 2023 09:37 (eleven months ago) link
🤔

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?
― youn, Friday, 22 September 2023 12:28 (eleven months ago) link
It's the one in Borough.
― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 22 September 2023 12:30 (eleven months ago) link
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
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 November 2023 11:11 (ten months ago) link
There will hopefully be a FAP in December if there is appetite for that, maybe first or second week..
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 November 2023 11:12 (ten months ago) link
I’m away tomorrow but hope to make December
― mojo dojo casas house (gyac), Monday, 6 November 2023 11:15 (ten months ago) link
Any interest in doing this in May.
I can't do the back end of the 2nd week but otherwise all good.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 24 April 2024 10:46 (four months ago) link
Will be in Japan for most of May, so will have to miss this one...
― Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 24 April 2024 15:09 (four months ago) link
I’m canceling so the first or last weeks of May but am about otherwise. It’d be good to catch up.
― Tim, Wednesday, 24 April 2024 17:57 (four months ago) link
good call. May is a bit of a calm period between some dense commitments.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 24 April 2024 18:36 (four months ago) link
Cool so 2nd or 3rd week of may? 16th or 23rd OK?
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 24 April 2024 20:08 (four months ago) link
Second half of May is out for me.
― Not waving but droning (Tom D.), Wednesday, 24 April 2024 20:11 (four months ago) link
Does that include 16th?
Can put in a meet up both May and June.
Didn't put anything in winter as I was mad busy.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 24 April 2024 20:38 (four months ago) link
Yeah 16th is out.
― Not waving but droning (Tom D.), Wednesday, 24 April 2024 20:46 (four months ago) link
I can’t do the 23rd, sorry for lack of clarity.
― Tim, Wednesday, 24 April 2024 21:07 (four months ago) link
Cool, let's put the 16th down and then maybe do something in June once Daniel and Tom D are back.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 24 April 2024 23:14 (four months ago) link
Did this happen?!I could probably make one in the second half of June (on a Thursday)
― Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 20 May 2024 11:20 (four months ago) link
Lol I totally forgot.
Lets move it to June then. 20th ok for you, Chuck?

― Roman Anthony gets on his horse (gyac), Monday, 20 May 2024 11:33 (four months ago) link
I have a small person so am inherently unreliable but I can most likely do Thurs 13!
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 21 May 2024 14:39 (four months ago) link
